    Does Tesla remove FSD from third-party dealers

    Um... Because charging for the same thing multiple times is unethical and simply wrong. I get this is an echo chamber where Tesla is infallible, Elon is a god, and blah blah blah... Anyone who thinks it's okay for Tesla to remove a feature delivered with a car just because it touched their...

    $12K for FSD is insane

    How Tesla can continue to legally sell something that doesn't exist is mind boggling to me... My guess here is because they moved the actual working features under FSD (auto-park/autopilot being the main things) they can claim it's not actually vaporware... All I know is Elon is a liar, and...

    Does Tesla remove FSD from third-party dealers

    You're not missing anything. At all. Some people just seem to think being unethical is an okay way to run a company. It's not. Jeff

    Does Tesla remove FSD from third-party dealers

    LOL... Try a better straw man argument next time please, that was weak... This isn't complicated no matter how much of a pretzel you try to twist it into. I said TESLA... NOT THE OWNER... JFC... Once a vehicle is delivered, as has been the case since the dawn of automobile sales, the owner can...

    Does Tesla remove FSD from third-party dealers

    Look, I get it, those who drink the kool-aid of Elon seem to think that being unethical and fraudulent is an acceptable way to do business. It's not, you're wrong but of course I can't change your mind, I just see it as a reflection of people's personal ethics if they're okay with this. Things...

    Does Tesla remove FSD from third-party dealers

    I swear Tesla sits around and openly asks, "how can we be more unethical and shady?"... This is simply wrong. If the car has a feature at the time it's delivered to the original owner then it should have that throughout it's entire lifecycle. What Tesla is doing here has GOT to be illegal, to...

    2021 Holiday Update - GARBAGE!

    This is what Tesla does, this is who Tesla is, and I'm constantly shocked that after almost a decade (Model S started delivery in late 2012 IIRC) of lies and half-truths that people are STILL somehow shocked when Tesla does something shady or out right wrong. This company is not ethical, it's...

    Wait time for new X is >1 year, but lease is coming up...

    Same here... As I tell anyone who asks, "amazing cars, absolutely horrible company and customer experience"... What still blows me away though, after being inactive here since August, I STILL am reading the "yeah delivery sucked, delivery quality sucked, but I'm so blown away by the car this is...

    Wait time for new X is >1 year, but lease is coming up...

    That's why we sold our X out of our lease and moved on from Tesla all together... Can't buy the cars if they don't exist. Jeff

    Scary Random emergency braking on highway

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Yes, this is exactly how the Tesla experience goes... Wait until you take delivery... It's only downhill from here but you'll ignore your instincts to the contrary because Tesla's are so damn fun to drive... Jeff

    Dave Grohl...

    Good points indeed, appreciate the perspective for sure. I don't want Tesla to fail, in fact quite the opposite... I desperately want Elon to pull his head out of his ass and step down from running the place directly and focus on the "it" that makes Tesla, Tesla while someone else focuses on...

    Dave Grohl...

    I genuinely believe the reason why Tesla doesn't care about customer service and service in general is because Elon has no plan for Tesla to exist long term. He's been very clear the purpose of Tesla was to demonstrate mass production EVs could be a thing and that people would buy them. He's...

    First Refreshed Model X Deliveries in July

    One, I don't really care what the powertrain is. Sure, EVs are a blast to drive but I also own a 40ft motorhome and need a toad so the Jeep I'm eyeing looks like a great fit. Two, I'm well aware of how charging works regardless of the EV brand/model and honestly I almost never travel farther...

    First Refreshed Model X Deliveries in July

    No thanks. By the end of my lease my tires (second set mind you which is absolutely ridiculous by itself) will be darn near close to needing replaced and I'll be damned if I'm going to spend another $1500 on new tires for a "few" months of usage. It's really quite simple, either there is a...

    Tesla Service

    Because I'm a long time owner who's been through the ringer with this dishonest and corrupt company and feel the need to warn others what they're getting into. This forum is wayyyy too much of a positive Tesla echo chamber and for crazy reasons... I can't believe how many people have SERIOUS...

    Tesla has worst customer service

    It's pretty appalling when someone thinks a suggestion like that is some sort of a "solution"... False entitlement to customer service? What? The? Actual... F...? (EDIT: Was that sarcasm? Man I hope so...) Tesla service is garbage, Tesla corporate ethics are garbage, Tesla as a company is...

    Tesla Service

    Tesla service went from good/okay to absolutely abysmal... Yes it does depend a lot on the service center but the entire "system" is just garbage. Tesla is far, far, far from the promises made by Elon not so long ago. I can think of at least 5 people that I know of who were going to buy then I...

    First Refreshed Model X Deliveries in July

    Having been a Tesla customer for a LONG time I can assure you there won't be a Model X for me in September whether I order today or not... Q1 2022 seems to be the most likely but by then I'll be a former Tesla customer and will no longer be interested. Maybe one of these days their sheer...

    Why are people buying new ICE cars?

    Can't buy cars that don't exist... Current S/X debacle is a perfect example. My X lease is up in September and I had planned on leasing another one but looks like Tesla screwed up yet again and that won't be an option. Not many other options out there for what I need so I'll probably end up...

    I know I just posted almost the same thing in another thread but this is absolutely f'n ridiculous...

    What a joke. So those of us who's leases are coming up soon and need a replacement car are just... What..??? SOL? My X lease is up in September and I had fully intended on getting another one but holy hell Tesla... Why does this company suck so horribly at delivery timelines? Now what do I...

    Tesla X without FWD Poll

    Good god no, I can't possibly say that any stronger without getting in trouble. If you want a minivan go and buy one but for the love of all things holy, I hope Tesla NEVER brings that to anything in the Tesla lineup. Jeff

    Leased X returned in May. Received invoice for $9800 in September!

    I was forced to turn in my Model S without an inspection because the inspection queue from US Bank at the time was 6+ weeks out and my turn in time was up as my replacement Model X was ready and Tesla wanted me to take delivery before Q end... Was told repeatedly that I had nothing to worry...

    Series 1 HPWC issues with 2018 model S

    Considering how long this issue has existed I think it's safe to say Tesla has no plans or intentions on fixing it. While I don't fault you for not knowing, my own experiences with this would keep me from ever taking a trip that relied on destination chargers since the vast majority of them are...

    After FSD 3.0, Summon accident!!! Crashed my bumper and hood

    Yet another example of why FSD is no where remotely even close to being "ready"... Tesla continues to sell a "feature" that doesn't exist and won't for any time soon. People keep buying it though so why should Tesla stop selling it? What happened to the OP simply can't happen in an FSD world...

    So sick of "Service".

    The reality here is Tesla couldn't possibly care less about service right now, have you seen the stock price lately? The ONLY thing Elon cares about now is deliveries, deliveries, deliveries... That keeps Wall Street happy which keeps the stock price up and Elon can get his bonus(s) and all is...

    Yellowing of the Dash/Binnacle Display Fix???

    Both of my screens have been yellow banding for awhile now and I don't have any plans to complain about it unless it gets to the point where it impairs the ability to read the information on the screen. I don't like it but I have found that when I take my car to Tesla service it almost always...

    Sheesh, I didn't realize my supercharger miles expire

    Tesla is more and more anti-consumer as time goes on. Horrible service, "expiring miles" (what is this Starbucks or United?), FSD that is neither full or self driving or anywhere close yet somehow the price keeps going up... Eventually all of these anti-consumer practices will bite Tesla...

    TeraFactory & Cybertruck coming to Austin Tx
