    Lemon law buyback successes without having opted out of arbitration?

    Also important to screen shot all the messages. I had every invoice and chat all ordered with a summary index page. This should be done and maintained as part of your service records even if there won't likely be a lemon claim. Good for resale.

    Had they solved the "problem", I would have gladly paid $140K for my MSP. With their current state of quality and service issues, I would never have place the MSP order had they not dropped the price $50K. Seems like that should be enough incentive? :rolleyes:

    Third time. 4th set. After the third replacement, I lowered the car 1" and the problem never came back. That 1" is the original factory height from 2014 and earlier before they raised cars 1" with software to mitigate battery strikes.

    Their demand is not high which is why the dropped the price $40K to $50K on the S/X. Most of their volume is made from orders, not inventory that they ship to dealers.

    The warranty covers defects in paint. Not damage, but factory defects are totally covered. They can't claim it was repainted even if it was. If they admitted that it was repainted after it left the factory, then they'd be admitting it was damaged after it left the factory. If it's a crappy...

    When I had the issue, they also tried to claim that this was just an NVH issue that wouldn't effect functionality and they declined to fix it the third time. I asked them to put it in writing that it would not weaken the forelinks causing them to fail even at low speed. During that time, it was...

    Depends on which vibration issue you're talking about. If it's the 80 mph vibration, then no. If it's the lower speed vibration, then yes, but if you already have it at that speed without accelerating, then lowering the car won't help. The only time lowering will help if there's a lower speed...

    Lemon law buyback successes without having opted out of arbitration?

    Underscores just how important it is to keep your own copies of the services records. Keep in mind that invoices can only be downloaded from the app and only the last 10 service items are visible in the app which includes canceled appts, etc.

    The accel pedal vibrations are normal. Seems to last 60 seconds if you've gone a day without driving. It abruptly stops rather than fading away. My MXP did the exact same thing. Good thing it only lasts a short while.

    Ear-Splitting Rumbling Sound When My Model S is in Motion (except when window rolled down)

    His description couldn't be used to describe anything scientific. Several of you mentioned turning off ANC making the noise go away but I don't see any reference to you or the other poster who had the same problem verify your liftgate stops were adjusted properly. The terms the OP uses to...

    Ear-Splitting Rumbling Sound When My Model S is in Motion (except when window rolled down)

    The OPs symptoms are the classic cabin buffeting sound caused by incorrectly adjusted liftgate stops. Having it vanish when rolling down the window all but confirms it. Is it possible this "classic" problem is now also caused by malfunctioning ANC? I suppose, but I doubt it. It's more likely ANC...

    battery fuse requires replacement soon? what is this?

    Since the P90D was technically being produced since July of 2015, I wonder if they just started using the pyro fuse in all batteries from this point on. Anyone in this thread get the error on Tesla made before July 2015? One thing is for sure, they pyro fuse can't be replaced on a 400v 85...

    My 2015 didn't. It wasn't required in 2020 so your results will vary depending on the delivery center. Refresh requires it to be installed due to crash testing.

    Just realized the when the liftgate is closed the liftgate side hinge is vertical, not horizontal, so that would have course just do height and maybe left<-->right.

    Liftgate adjustment DIY info on 2023 refresh

    In the attached service document for adjusting liftgate alignment, figure 12 shows lateral adjustment, not just height. In my case, I just need to left the upper left portion of the liftgate by 1 or 2 mm. I'm assuming that the "height" adjustment requires some sort of shim between the liftgate...

    So I got an E5 socket and it fits the bottom of the screw on the roof hinge side. Can someone confirm THIS is what we need loosen if we want to raise liftgate on the hinge by 1 or 2 mm with a shim? It looks like it could also be done through the headliner on the body side but there is a bigger...

    Anyone bought the track package for a daily driver?

    Just have them send you a screenshot of the MCU screen when track mode is enabled. If it doesn't have the correct config, it will say 174 mph. If it does, then it will say 200 mph.

    If the MS RGB strips are like that, then I'll be glad I missed them. I suspect, based on the location of the pre-plumbed RGB connectors that they are replacing the satin aluminum trim with the lighting strips which will be sad. Ambient lighting should be ambient and not direct, distracting, or...

    And in fact, it's actually 347 miles, not 359 like the website says. The 21" wheel config however, matches what the site says.

    They can repaint but it's not optimal.

The only reason I knew is because the...

    Automatic reject for that....and if you don't make sure they agree to repaint. i.e open a service ticket within 100 miles or 24 hours whichever comes first.

    Better than mine was. Just adjust the striker plate down 2 or 3 mm and you're set. Should take about 2 minutes. I'd ask them to do it for you right now. The right is higher by about 1 mm. Just do the pillow trick for that and body slam it into shape.

    Seems like it's universal that all hatches are lifted on the right and the left upper liftgate pillar is lower than the a-pillar on the left. My 2015 didn't have this issue.
