Hope you have better luck with yours! I absolutely loved driving the car...when it worked...and it's hard to find another car that is as fun to drive or as sleek.

UPDATE ON THE CAR: Two months and some change after accepting delivery on my dream car, Tesla did a buy back and I am now renting a car until I figure out my next move. Basically, after the first shut down, the 12-day old car spent 2 weeks in the shop and received a new rear motor and a new 12V...

UPDATE: I received a phone call from the service center yesterday (Monday) morning and asked me what happened. After I described the situation (including the potential damage that the tow truck may have cause by pulling a vehicle with locked wheels as it was skidding on the road and I heard a...

Thank you. I appreciate that...I was starting to regret posting on this forum.

Thanks - I can appreciate your perspective. I'm definitely not naive to think that this is the only car make out there that has issues but just the fact that it's brand new and already giving me issues is unnerving. Like I said, if we had been on the freeway when this happened, we could have...

That's pretty insensitive. "Any other car" would allow you to go into neutral and push out of oncoming traffic. "Any other car" wouldn't break 2 weeks after purchasing it. I've owned many cars and this has never happened to me before.

So it's acceptable to you that 2 week old equipment breaks? I spent a considerable amount of money on something that broke down, left me stranded, and put me in an unsafe situation. Considering the issue and the current runaround I'm getting, I think I'm staying pretty calm.

What type of failure are you referring to? Is it "easy" to fix? I hope you're right, but it's just hard to believe that I didn't get a flawed car, considering the experience thus far. I don't feel safe or confident in something that broke after 2 weeks and has to already be repaired. At the very...

WARNING TO DRIVERS: Last night I was driving on a local street when suddenly a warning came up on the screen saying "VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN - pull over safely". While I was TRYING to pull over safely, the car just shook and stopped. I had less than 5 seconds to react and was still partially in...

Thanks. It got towed and I guess will be looked at tomorrow. Mentally though, the damage is done. I’m so upset. I have totally lost faith in the cars safety and feel completely helpless and stuck with it now. What if next time I’m on the freeway and have no time to pull over? I’m terrified.

Also, the car (Model Y) is not even 2 weeks old and has less than 500 miles. I was so excited when I first purchased the car and now I’m so disappointed and feel scared to drive it again. I tried getting out and walking away. Twice. That didn’t work either.

This just happened to me tonight. I barely got a 5 second warning and the car completely shut down as I was trying to pull over. Was still stuck in the lane with hazards on. Thank God I wasn’t on the freeway!!! I tried to reboot 3 times. Couldn’t even get the car in neutral to push it out of...
