    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    It took almost 130 days, an attorney demand letter, and 3 (yes 3) HV batteries as the first two were damaged in transit— but I do have the car back. If there’s a way you can message me your cell number I’ll give you a call and tell you what I would have done differently / see if I can be of...

    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    LOL!! I don't know what's worse-- the 85 MPH limit on an all-highway commute -- or the (I kid you not) maybe 125 miles of range that car presently has on a full charge. The 5 figure body shop repair bill in the glovebox is also a nice touch, ha. I wouldn't give this to the USPS to use in their...

    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    Just to update this thread: As of today (yes over a month later since this service visit started), I am still left without any material updates as to what they theorize the root cause to be. They have shared that engineers have been working on the car both remotely as well as in the service...

    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    OP never left-- but seeing as how I was on trial for my apparently heightened expectations of reliable transportation, I stepped away.

    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    The secret -- and I know it will blow your mind -- is division. To make it more simple; If one has 1 car at a time... how many years will it take to reach X cars during one's life if one was to live to the age of 60? What about if one has 5 cars at a time over the same period? What about Y...

    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    Yes, I'm planning to take the L and move on, but I do thank you for your assessment of my financial situation and surrounding motives. Just wanted to put last ditch attempt out here in case someone had any experience dealing with similar issues coupled with a laissez-faire service dept that...

    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    I have been meaning to do this, just haven't had the time to go down there as the service center is a bit away from where I live/work. I will update once in-hand. If you read the context of the sentence, I implied the Plaid was better than prior Model S's I have ridden in over the years-- and...

    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    I bought it from a dealer I do a bunch of business with. I had a tax credit from a prior transaction on file that I applied here (vs. buying it new from Tesla and having to pay 7% taxes on the full amount). I'm using round numbers and factoring in my loss of taxes if I just go and dump it (vs...
