The paint on both corners of the trunk lid are starting to peel off. This is not the paint wearing off but coming loose from the underlying metal. I am thinking to get this looked at at a local shop for proper "touch up" . Worried that this are will enlarge if not "treated" . On both...

I don't do a lot of interstate highway driving but when I do I almost always use self steering. And , of course on occasion, I sometimes forget to keep the slight turning pressure on the steering wheel. Then I am warned and return my turning pressure which sometimes is too much and Tesla...

finally got the windshield replaced. fortunately was a beautiful drive to Rochester (2 hr each way). It was a manufacturing fault in the windshield.

Yes manufacturing fault. Looks like a clear spot in the center with the rest scraped with steel wool!! But both outer surfaces show no defects, nothing. It is internal in the windshield. Just don't want to do the two hour each way drive to the SC with the possibility of leaving the car...

I purchased a 2023 Model Y after I got reimbursed for my old one under a Lemon Law resolution, and was very happy with that. However I recently noticed a "fault in the windshield at the top of the passenger side. This is normally difficult to see unless the light is just right, but when the...

Finally!! I received my buyback check from Tesla today. Full refund on original purchase price including taxes paid. Thanks Tesla.

Got a response!!! “the signed settlement documents were misplaced. After I inquired, they were able to find the documents and verify them. They have requested a check and you should receive a tracking number within 24-48 hours. The check will be issued either tomorrow or Monday.“ …. 👍

My goodness... getting hold of a person at Tesla is VERY DIFFICULT. I had a brief conversation with Ben Fang who is in Freemont CA and who made the buyback offer back in July, but now reaching him by phone or email is impossible. Getting hold of the service center (Mt Kisco NY about 5 hrs...

Still awaiting repurchase check :mad: New York State says that since I now have a signed agreement, the Lemon Law case can be closed.:oops: :mad::mad:

Still awaiting repurchase check two weeks later!!! :mad:

Followup INFO: Picked up my brand new 2023 model Y.... same features as the lemon (except the faults? :)). Not fully satisfied with the way it worked because the method was for me to place an order for the replacement through the normal process AND pay up front for the new car. I did. Now I...

Still pursuing a Lemon Law case. Looks good! A Tesla Rep has emailed a full price repurchase offer which I will apply to a new model Y (I like the car). However, still up in the air as the delivery side of Tesla still does not seem to know about this repurchase agreement offer! So they keep...

Yes it did.

Pretty sure this was FSD beta, can't check because I got my own car back. The FSD beta definitely is different from the auto steer on those three points. Also, I found that the FSD beta worked on every road I drove on INCLUDING back roads with no lane or mid line markings! That surprised me...

I had the opportunity to use full self driving on a loaner M3 when my model Y was in shop. I don't think I would spring for FSD unless I was doing a commute every day... BUT there are a couple of differences that should be incorporated (if possible) into auto steer. These my be in my...
