    My battery failed after only 3K miles

    My 2019 M3LR battery failed in March around 40k miles and Tesla replaced it with a refurbished pack. It’s like any other car despite Tesla marketing it otherwise. It’s going to fail at some point. Only pain point is that compared to an ICE vehicle I have limited options in terms of diagnostics...

    Tesla insurance: abysmal service via phone

    Switched to Geico after wasting a few hours waiting for someone to help me. Insurance ID was not showing up in the app and the call was never answered under an hour. The cars are pretty good but company as a whole is not at the level of their cars.

    Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” [range] projections

    From my personal experience, Tesla has a huge communication problem. Whether it’s their service or the in car estimations or the FSD beta. They are not transparent when it comes to things that a regular consumer might worry about and expect people to figure it out. The forums don’t help...

    Service Center refusing to accept drop in for BMS issue

    Sounds good.I'll try to keep the thread updated with my experience. On a side note, battery issues after 2 years like in your case is pretty concerning. Tesla should at least have offered you a new pack after such an early failure.

    Alternatives to Tesla Insurance in Bay Area

    I have been with Tesla Insurance for my 2019 Model 3LR for about 6 months( bought it used in Oct 22 from Tesla). While the premium is cheaper compared to every other insurance company in Bay Area, it has been frustrating to contact Tesla Insurance customer service. I've been looking around and...

    Service Center refusing to accept drop in for BMS issue

    Update 5/1 Picked up the car from service center around 4/12. Received a remanufactured pack and the service center thinks I should get range similar to what I had prior to the issue. So far it's been going around smoothly. I have a road trip planned at the end of May. That should give me a...

    Service Center refusing to accept drop in for BMS issue

    Update 3/11 The service center reached out and rescheduled my appointment to 3/10. I was told the HV battery would need to be replaced and a comparable pack would be sourced. It could take about a week to source and validate a new battery pack and additional 4-5 days to install the battery...

    I reached out to them over the mobile appointment. After diagnosing it over the air they scheduled me for an appointment at the service center on 3/21. Will keep an eye on the range estimated and charge till then.

    Service Center refusing to accept drop in for BMS issue

    Normally, I wouldn't have worried about it. I knew that Tesla service is not that great while I bought the car, but I want to get it checked out ASAP since its an issue with the high voltage battery.

    Service Center refusing to accept drop in for BMS issue

    I noticed an alert on my screen saying "Range and Charge capacity might be reduced. Schedule service soon." The error code displayed is BMS_a066. Upon further research I found that its an issue with high voltage battery and most of the battery packs are replaced. I already had a mobile service...
