    Lemon law buyback successes without having opted out of arbitration?

    Yep, I did not know at the time that the service records would disappear from the app. To be honest, the service records my attorney managed to obtain were pretty abysmal anyways. Some showed the car arriving in service weeks after it was towed to the service center and then had no record of any...

    Lemon law buyback successes without having opted out of arbitration?

    I did not opt out, and actually tried Tesla's arbitrator at the beginning, but Tesla lied to the arbitrator regarding the amount of time spent at service, number of tows, and refused to release service records, so the arbitrator told me that getting legal counsel would be the best way of...

    Does anyone have the Rivian suv?

    The doors open and close like a normal vehicle unlike a MX where the doors have not functioned correctly on any built in the past 1.5 years or so since the sensors were removed. If the MX doors just reverted to being normal without the sensors, then great, but the &%%$*% electric motors in the...

    Does anyone have the Rivian suv?

    Yeah, leaving the Tesla ecosystem (except for my wall charger that I use with my R1S with an adapter) has been quite the change after 10 years of Teslas. Now when my Rivian shows me miles of range, I know that I can likely get whatever number it says unless it is below freezing. It's no longer...

    Bellevue Location no longer doing deliveries?

    When I bought my MX in 2022, Tesla made me pick it up in Lynnwood, and I was charged the (I think) 10.25% sales tax despite living in Bellingham where it should have been nearly 2% less. I tried arguing it and they said the state requires the rate to be where delivery takes place.

    Falcon Wing Door issues won't go away

    They won't fix it. I had the same issue with a November 2022 MX and lemoned it in August 2023 after it spent months at the service center unable to be fixed. I think the falcon doors opened all the way a grand total of 5 times out of 100s of attempts during the 9 months I owned it. The 30...

    Model X refresh trunk keeps open on its own. Multiple errors

    I don't know if I ever tried the FM radio in mine, so maybe I had that issue too. I had literally every other issue, so why not this one as well!

    Model X refresh trunk keeps open on its own. Multiple errors

    Yes. That was one of the many features of my lemoned MX that had a mind of its own. The trunk and doors opening on their own started around Feb/Mar of 2023, so look for my posts around then on this thread...

    Lemon law buyback successes without having opted out of arbitration?

    The service manager at Bellevue refused to do this when I requested it despite that my vehicle had been towed there twice already and literally broke down during my pick up at the service center before I got it to drive at all in addition to dozens of other issues. I wish all service managers...

    2023 HW4 Model X Front Door Issues

    I was told the same thing in December 2022. So...good luck. I doubt Tesla will ever fix this issue based on the track record so far.

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    My PB issues were definitely not caused by mirages where I live. It's never hot. But....I could totally see a vision based system getting tricked by a mirage.

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    My lemoned 2023 MX frequently would have phantom braking events on the freeway while on FSD that were so abrupt that the tires would squeal. Hitting the accelerator to stop it was the only solution. Never once was there anything on the road, nor did they seemingly happen in the dark or poor...

    2023 HW4 Model X Front Door Issues

    Lemon it. If buyers won't stand up when they get a defective product, Tesla will just keep doing it.

    Auto Wipers (beta)

    Never use it. Might be automatic since it clearly has moved and there's an obvious wiped area though. My cars are super dirty and it's way way too cold to wash them.

    Auto Wipers (beta)

    I have a Rivian now and have never once even looked for the wiper buttons. It just works. Perfectly. In mist all the way to heavy rain. And it is never wiping when it's not raining. Reading these comments makes me so glad to not be dealing with the wipers in the misty PNW where they either would...

    Auto Wipers (beta)

    I had 3 Teslas with auto wipers. None worked. They either did nothing or wiped at the rapid speed despite not raining. Absolutely the worst wipers I have ever had in any vehicle.

    Rattle on new Model X FWD, wear observed on door latch.

    How many miles on that X?
  19. rpo

    If only the Model X had a 110 outlet (like Ford & Rivian).......

    I've been running a fridge and dual burner induction stove without issue in my R1S. The stove is occasionally pulling 100-200w over the inverter's rated max.

    If only the Model X had a 110 outlet (like Ford & Rivian).......

    I think you must be. Tesla has never had a 120v outlet in their vehicles until the Cybertruck.

    Falcon Wing Door Concerns

    Sounds like mine. Maybe yours will develop the additional feature of randomly opening while the car is parked along with the other doors.

    What I sent to Dublin Tesla on May 8 Asking for a replacement / collateral exchange

    LOL they don't even do that anymore. My X came with dirt everywhere. Outside, inside, oily smudges all over the screen, etc. My prior Teslas were delivered indoors immaculately detailed, and one even came with a giant red bow on top (a la Lexus). Things are nothing like they used to be.

    Model X second row bench stuck half folded

    This happened to my lemon 2023 MX. Seat was replaced. Happened again a few months later. Never tried to get it fixed again because the car had devolved in other ways that made driving it unsafe. It was lemoned after 9 months.

    I don't think that applies to the 2023+ interior since the cubby was removed.

    Window venting problem saga

    Doors opened on their own. Frunk opened on it's own while parked and while driving. Trunk opened and closed hundreds of times while parked. Speed was limited to 48 MPH. Water leaked through one falcon door onto the seat when it rained. Seat heaters did not work in the front seats. Yoke...

    Window venting problem saga

    My 2023 MX (now lemoned) was constantly venting the windows like it was possessed...mostly a few inches, but sometimes one would be rolled all the way down. It was happening when the car had not been unlocked or driven in weeks and eventually months (while I waited for Tesla to buy the car...

    23 MX Owners - Do you think we'll ever get full functionality without USS?

    I lost my keycard in the console! Help!

    I had this happen with my nexus card while sitting in line at the Canada border just a couple of cars from the booth in my 2019 Model S. Based on the circumstances, I managed to crush my hand into that "gap" between the sliding door and the (now non-existent cubby) and pull it out. I'd put it at...

    The only recall on my Rivian was to change the back up light lens. Unprecedented and serious cause for concern? Absolutely not. Meanwhile on your P100D, there's roughly six so far (if you have a 2019): https://www.cars.com/research/tesla-model_s-2019/recalls/ P.S. I had a 2019 Model S as well...

    Model X 2023 front door

    Based on my experience, I don't think that option would work. My door hit my trash can once with my hand holding it because it does not want to stop the few times it decided to open all the way. Tesla would still have pissed off customers. Just get rid of the motors and make them normal doors again.

    2022 Model X roof sensor not working

    Mine was a Oct 2022 build. Same issue. Doors always opened ~6 inches and stopped thinking there was an object when there was not, and then it took 20 seconds of holding the override button inside the door to get it open. With two toddlers, this was quite a pain in the ass.

    If only the Model X had a 110 outlet (like Ford & Rivian).......

    You also can't get 150w from Teslas 150w 12v outlets. The voltage sags a ton beyond 90w and devices will shut down due to the voltage drop. 10v at a 100w draw is what my Model S and Model X both put out.

    Advice on Accepting or Rejecting Model X

    How can the seal degrade that much in 4 months? That is insane. I would reject that in a heart beat. The MX is already known to have leak issues with the FWD seals failing after a few years.

    super harsh ride going over speed bump, problem with suspension?

    10 MPH? Is this a speed hump or a traditional short speed bump that is designed to make you go only a few MPH over it?

    Passanger door opens too fast with full force.

    I could not agree more. Took 6 months for Tesla service to admit it was by design and not a fault with my vehicle too.

    My disaster of a delivery experience (No quality control)

    Home is 95% of our charging. Solar powers 100% of our household usage too. Another thing to note....the range on the Rivian is real. when I drive 200 miles, ~200 miles of range is what gets used. I no longer have to use 70% of Tesla's claimed range in my head all the time. I understand why...

    My disaster of a delivery experience (No quality control)

    The vehicle has been great. It feels like when I got my first Model S 9+ years ago....some odd software things, growing pains at the service centers, but tons of frequent software updates that make big changes similar to Tesla early on. As an example, when I first got my R1S, the harsh...

    My disaster of a delivery experience (No quality control)

    Hey holeydonut, have you ever heard of Mercedes or any car maker BESIDES Tesla refusing to pay for the loaner (rental) car that they provided to a customer or is that just Tesla's clearly superior customer service that treats their customers that way?
