    Really frustrated with Tesla Service (headrest issue)

    I know there are already a lot of posts about frustration with service centers. But I thought I'd throw mine into the hat and see if anyone has any suggestions. Our 2018 Model 3, which we are the original owners, has the drivers headrest literally flaking off where your head lays on it. We've...

    Jammed console lid?

    Yea, I went out last night and found a Starbucks drink stopper stuck in there. I was able to fish it out and it works fine again.

    2018 center console lid won’t close

    Went out and really looked at it last night, and she had dropped a Starbucks drink stopper in between the lid and the cup holder area, which was preventing it from closing. Had to carefully use a knife to grab it out without scratching anything but it all works again.

    2018 center console lid won’t close

    On our 2018 model 3, my wife stated she opened the center lid (one that always says close lid gently) to grab the gate clicker. Afterwards it won’t close anymore. I went and looked at it and the movements seem fine, it just won’t stay closed (pops right back up). It seems like it’s slightly...

    50k mile report

    I’m at 58000 on our 2018 LR and haven’t replaced them. They came out and put something on then to oil them so I’m expecting them to go soon….

    Software issue? [climate on for 2 hours message]

    So our 2018 M3 has been pushing notifications through the Tesla app almost daily for about a month or two now, stating that climate control has been on for 2+ hours and will be turned off. Whenever I look, it clearly has not been on as the interior temp is roughly what the exterior is (around...

    List of Warranty Replacements

    Our warranty ends in July. Had the following replaced so far: - Entire dash (had defect at delivery) - charge door - gear shift was coming apart - replaced screen (was fine when brought in and when I got the car back they said they replaced it. I think they broke it on accident)

    End of warranty checks

    Ours is also nearing the end of warranty (July) and I'm worried about the control arms. I haven't heard anything yet but I hear about it alot. Is there anything we can do to be sure?

    Aftermarket Dashcam

    Yea but its still using the battery to power it unless you use a battery-operated one.... ours doesn't take that many miles off our car when using it

    Website advice

    Hi all, Long-time member on here and love Tesla (have 2 Model 3s). However, Im also an EV fan in general and love discussing them. So I created an EV community geared at all EV's rather than a specific brand. I also just started a Hockey & Football community. I'm looking for advice on the...

    How long will a model 3 last and what tesla to replace it?

    Sell at about the 5-6 year mark. By then you'll prolly have around 120,000 miles and there will be a lot of other EV options by then too. Don't risk waiting for the drive unit or battery to fail as if the waits are still there you might end up having to get a used car then. Plan ahead

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    If this passes the Senate before Christmas and Biden signs it, will it apply retroactively to all 2021 or go into affect starting Jan 1st. That's what I'm most curious about

    Driving to Denver in December

    Well yes. If we encounter snow or ice we won't be using autopilot. My point was if roads stay dry, autopilot makes the trip less stressful but still need to pay attention

    Driving to Denver in December

    I think we will just keep an eye on the weather and then choose the morning of. It has autopilot so it's not as stressful driving but we could always stop in Moab or something if we get tired

    Driving to Denver in December

    Are you talking the I70 route? I know you can make it in one day, just a long drive with charging stops. And to avoid possibility of having to have tire chains which I don't have, will prolly take the 25/40 route instead. I'll be paying attention to weather too and if it doesn't look like any...

    Driving to Denver in December

    Yea, its our 18' LR RWD I will be taking, so no AWD. I've driven in snow before as I grew up in Wisconsin, but never with the Tesla. I've heard Denver doesn't have much snow yet in December, so I'm more worried about just getting there. The problem with making it a flexible trip is I need to...

    Driving to Denver in December

    I am going to be making a trip from Vegas to Denver in December. To avoid snow issues, im going to take the long route on the I40/I25 rather than I70. Will I have issues with snow and will I need tire chains for that? Any recommendations for stops on charging, food, etc?

    Passenger visor fell off

    So Tesla just sent an estimate for us to approve us paying $140!!! How do they feel a failed rivet is normal wear and tear and the customer should have to pay? This is the 2nd time they have pulled this (first with them refusing to repair our defective headrest) and we are growing tired of...

    Climate control and fan went out ?

    Good luck! I hope you don't get any rattles from them removing the dash. When they did with our 18', we've since had a very irritating rattle

    Climate control and fan went out ?

    Do a soft or hard reset and see if that fixes it?

    Lots of error messages, not sure if it’s related to FSD 10.3 beta or not (2021.36.5.3)

    I don't know how the beta would cause that. If you call tesla they should be able to flash the previous software version over the air to your car to see if that maybe fixes it
