    Take it to a different garage. Unless that is what they are told to do to get some money from us.

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    They wanted 100 because I had told them the issue I had with the other garage. I told them I already paid 1100 for something that was not the issue. So we settled at 50 bucks. They were checking other things too so I figured that is fair.

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    Yep the creaking is the control arms. They need to show you the bad links before replacing. They replaced all four links and charged me 1100. I stated would you replace for free if the control arms are the issue. They said no. That is why I went to a different location. After they changed the...

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    That's exactly what they told me. Same quote. I argued with them and they still changed the links not the control arms. Charged me 1100 dollars. A couple of weeks later the creak came back real bad. I had a different Tesla garage change the control arms for 50 bucks. I argued I paid for links...

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    The recall was done a couple of years ago. I believe they stopped doing the recall cause it didn't not fix the issue. If your vehicle is under warranty they will fix for free. If not they will try to charge you 200 plus. You can argue your point it that this was part of an existing recall and...

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    They actually did the work without my approval. When I went to check they couldn't find the actual part. They were buckets of the same parts that were replaced from other vehicles. So my parts could not be found.

    I got my car Tesla Model 3 mid range. The battery I believe they replaced is remanufactured. The range on my 2018 has not really increased still has the degradation. Below is what they did.

    Creaking sound from left front suspension

    When I first noticed the creaking noise I removed the wheel on the right front and separated the control arm to access the ball joint. I just moved the ball joint in a circular motion to spread the grease. It worked and most of the noise was gone for a couple of weeks then the sound returned but...

    Creaking sound from left front suspension

    No they did not replace the control arms. They replaced lateral links. Said my control arms were fine. When I stopped by the shop they had replaced the part already and never gave me a chance to take pics.

    Creaking sound from left front suspension

    I took my model 3 in for creaking and they are quoting me 1100 to replace all four links. They are saying the ball joints are not the problem. Below is what tesla is telling me. I raised the car myself and just moved around the ball joint to try and get the grease to move around in the ball...

    They are going to replace the HV battery free of charge. Hopefully they can make my 2019 midrange battery with a long range battery. :D Wishful thinking.

    Creaking noise

    I have a 2018 and the creaking started about a week ago on right front ball joint. I had the reseal ball joints recall done a year ago. Do you think I would need to pay to get this fixed if after the recall fix it still happened? I am also out of warranty. 75000 miles.

    Side Cameras and Purple Light

    So I had my service appointment for tomorrow. The tech sent the latest firmware update to see if it will fix issue. Of course it did not. So he calls me that they will replace cameras with same model under warranty free for charge, but the issue will persist. If I wanted the updated cameras it...

    Drivers side window does not seal on high speeds. Anyone else experience this?

    That sounds like the same issue I have. All they tell me is that they don't see the issue. I drove a loaner with the same year and build date and did not have this issue. I even pushed on the glass when rolling it up going 70 mph and it sealed just fine. Very frustrating when you are dealing...

    Drivers side window does not seal on high speeds. Anyone else experience this?

    I have had 3 technicians check my car. The third one says its normal and that I should not worry about it. Even though if I roll down the window on the highway then roll it back up it does not seal. I can stick my fingers in that gap. My car is in the shop and the loaner is the same exact model...
