Yup that’s what they told me as well. I did say I would accept another version/color combo of the model 3 or any other model should it become available. I would be okay with spending money on a car I’m going to keep rather than finding an in between car and being double taxed and getting shafted...

Unfortunately no ETA. They’re still working on releasing the VIN from my account. They don’t want to because they’re afraid it’ll be subject to auto cancellation. We’re sort of in limbo

Thanks for the suggestions, I agree, it’s on me. Just looking for ways to mitigate

Hey y’all, I wanted to see if anyone in the community has had this sort of issue. I ordered my model 3 LR in January of 2022 and finally received a VIN last week with a pick up on July 25th, 2022. However, the car was badly damaged during transport and now am being put back in the cue. I was...

The issue hasn't come back so that could've been it but definitely seemed more severe than that

Nope, just says, "replaced 12v battery..."

Hey y'all. Got the car back after 2 weeks. They didn't tell me what was wrong and just said the 12v needed to be replaced. Should take 30 minutes to do... not 2 weeks. Anywho, car works as normal but I agree, the timing is odd indeed.

Update, "the service center does not have a a program for rentals" lol

Thanks! Do you know what the rental limit is? I'd gladly go do that but they never presented that option and its been a week now with 0 diagnosis

This just happened to me. No fix yet. I don't have any accessories plugged in. I was just on business for a month, left the car plugged in, and came back to this very issue. Even the engineers at Tesla don't know what's wrong. My story below...

Hey y'all, hope this finds you well. I've got a situation and was hoping this community can provide insight. (The car is a 2018 Tesla Model 3 LR, still under full warranty) I went on a month long business trip last month and came back to find my car completely dead while it was plugged into...

Hey Thomas, on the phone, they were very vague about the hardware needed. I would ask them for options as to what they can do to correct. What's your situation?

Best thing would be just to ask about the uncorking. Chances are yours is capable

Thanks! All of the back and for was in writing too so that helps but the commitment to buy the car back and pay for the extras I got to protect the car was verbal. (PPF, ceramic coating, ceramic tints, etc). Let's see

Haha I'm moving for a business opportunity haha. So an update in the car, Tesla actually asked if I would be open to having them repurchase the car! What a turn of events. I'll keep you guys posted on if this actually happens because it has to pass through senior leadership at Tesla. The...

Haha and here we go in circles again...

And the Saga continues... I asked for the direct contact for the vehicle sales leadership but let's see if I get anywhere with this. Just a quick background, I did upload a document outlining the screenshots outlining the 0-60 time of 4.2s on the car I bought with my VIN number and price of the car.

Awesome. I just sent the a Violation of Illinois Comercial Law letter when a bit on the violations to the customer service manager. I will be emailing it shortly to Tesla's Headquarters' legal department. Thanks! Hopefully this sets things in motion.

That's fair and I'm glad they did right by you. The Chicago service centers are giving me a really hard time. I've tired 3/4 and they've all ignored me or thought uncorking wasn't even real. I'm working with the last one now but even they stopped responding. Their Customer Experience Manager...

Yeah mine feels the same even after the OTA update. I ran a 0-60 time and got 5.3s. So we're back to square 1 and my car is now throwing errors. I really think Tesla is being lazy because they don't want to do the necessary hardware changes to make it as advertised. @NetRat, did you experience...

I don't think this will be an option for me as I've owned the car for over a year now but as you can tell, I've been fighting this for a while.

Hey Todd, thanks for sharing. I’m having the exact same issue right now! After much argument between Tesla service, sale and engineering, they pushed an OTA upgrade. I have no idea if it worked or not but my car is throwing BMS error codes now. BMS_u024 vehicle configuration mismatch. Not sure...

Hi Kristian, any luck on this? I’m fighting for this myself. Mine is a 05/16 build, refreshed front fascia. The just pushed a firmware update today after I fought with them. Service was saying this isn’t possible but engineering said it is but now my car is throwing an error of BMS_u024 Vehicle...

Ummm how is my car going to receive the 'uncorking' if its already live? I understand Tesla was nice about giving the upgrade to begin with but this false advertising and round and round is so flipping annoying. Apologies if anyone is getting annoyed of me. Just wanted to share my saga.

for a 5/16 build...really... I bet I'll get ignored again...

Wow. I live in Chicago. I've tried Westmont (the place I took delivery), and Schaumburg. Both are playing hard ball. They said they do not perform the 'uncorking' process on a 5 year old car but mind you, I still have 2+ years left on my CPO warranty. I reached out to Highland Park via email so...

Thanks for the advise. I reach out to another SC. Let's see.

Lmfao got shafted :(

Let's see how this goes! I'll keep y'all posted but may need help!

Omg I've been looking for this thread in these past 2 years! I got dupped as well and after 30+ emails, call technicians, I gave up my pursuit. However, I do have screenshots and your story now and I will fight for this. I was 24 when I paid nearly $60k for my Tesla Model S 75D thinking it was...
