UPDATE: the manager said it is not warranty because the "outside influence" could have been from rodents or going over a hard bump. I asked for proof, and he said he needs to talk to his Technician. @KArnold seems you actually have experience, if I do an NCDS, how long does it take?

Can't tell if you're trolling or not... you decided to spend time to read a thread. Then you spent more time writing a post just to tell people how you wasted your time. Nobody is forcing you to read or to post... But I will take you genuinely and ask what do you do for a living to make $600 in...

Thank you for the real advice. Sorry for the delayed response, your post got buried by other lower-quality posts. I did find the arbitration clause, it seems I still have some rights in this situation! Just an excerpt

Your replies are becoming low value. First with name-calling, and now logical fallacies (do you know which one you used here?) I'm sensing a pattern where you do not grasp facts. Please show me where I was 'way over blown'. Btw this is not an attack, I simply don't hesitate to call things out...

I'm not suggesting. I am stating facts. I have not approved the estimate (see the screenshot).

This sets a precedent, just like in Law. If I accept 'outside influence' and pay, then Tesla can use that as reasoning in the future for anything else that is 'out of place'. Not just for me, but for other Tesla owners. You can be sure Tesla corporate will try to deny as many warranties as they...

A little confused because I had NOT approved the estimate. I also never got a call from manager or the requested photo proof of 'outside influence'.

OK so now I really need advice, it seems they already did the service before I was able to speak to the manager. Never got the proof of “outside influence” as they claimed. But now I guess there never will be proof since it is fixed already. … what do I do?

UPDATE: no sign of the manager. But I did get the estimate

I have not delayed it I’m still waiting on the estimate. I am definitely going to get it fixed right. The price I got it is irrelevant. If I overpaid for the car, I don’t get more entitled to the warranty as someone else. Soapbox: If all consumers just accept what the mfg tells us, then we...

You're wrong. A warranty explicitly stays with the car. If this is the deal, then they should explicitly state that they are more likely to deny warranty if you are not the original owner. FYI doesn't matter how many owners. Sid said, "even if you are the original owner, I would make the same...

They did not 'uncover alterations'. I think you taking this as fact is affecting your logic. They uncovered the hose is out of place. That's it. Wouldn't the absence of aftermarket parts should support the claim that this is a factory defect? No one is going to go jack up the car, remove the...

Lol if I go to a 3rd party shop, then they really will be able to void the warranty forever.

I'm not trying to fight anyone. And I did run a CarFax. Why is this a better situation? I'm not trying to get lawyers. I bought a car to use in a normal way and it broke while under warranty. Neither does Tesla. Does their reasoning make sense to you? I already told the seller and they are...
