    Advice on Accepting or Rejecting Model X

    Zero other new car dealers would ask that you accept a vehicle in this condition. The fact that so many customers accept defective vehicles allows them to continue to deliver them this way without addressing the root causes. I would reject this vehicle. They attempted to home deliver a...

    Did Tesla end mobile service (in NJ)?

    The way they work the service request required me to text them back and forth for fifteen minutes (with no resolution) for something that a 30 second phone call would have solved.

    Tesla service : First impressions: Not good

    My experience with the "service" center has been uniformly disappointing. They could start by being able to take a phone call. On the app they promise to reply within 2 hours of a request. That has never happened for me. Then I was forced to do a fifteen minute text conversation that would...

    Mobile Service

    I just put in a service request. On the app it said they would reply within 2 hours. They didn't. Ultimately when they did reply they said mobile service wasn't available to evaluate a distorted sound from one of the speakers in the A pillar. Seems like mobile service is a thing of the past...

    Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread

    Model X Plaid has an issue where the radio only plays out of the front speakers. Zero bass. Then I do a hard reset and it starts working normally again. Has randomly done this twice now. Anyone else have this happen?

    What baffles me is that someone is supposed to inspect these cars before they are delivered. How do these folks keep their job? That's the one thing they're employed to do. Obviously there must be a culture of IDGAF at this company. Doesn't anyone have the cojones to say, "I refuse to...

    They provided me with a loaner vehicle, a 2017 Model X. So apparently that exempts them from a lemon law claim in Texas. However, the loaner vehicle has a loud noise coming from the left front axle, and the vehicle shakes during acceleration. I have tried to notify the service center to...

    Do not feel pressured into accepting the car no matter what the delivery person says or does. The delivery is not done until you are satisfied that you are receiving the car in new, undamaged condition. Do not believe them if they say you have to click accept to inspect the inside of the car...

    This is interesting, because when my Plaid was delivered one Falcon wing door was way off. I asked the tech who did the pre-delivery inspection why he left it like that. He said "it's within spec." I then asked what is the spec for an offset FWD. He responded that he wasn't able to release...

    I was told that some manufacturers, e.g., Porsche, install the true adaptive headlights without enabling the full features, and it simply requires a software update to allow their full function once approved for use in whatever country you live.

    I don't believe this for a minute. I don't think the quality control coming from the factory is anywhere near as good as legacy auto makers. Maybe the car is technically awesome and is nice when it drives with no problems, but quality is not something Tesla is known for. Nor is the service up...
