To have that amount of impact damage would indicate that you caused the damage as opposed to faulty craftsmanship that would be covered under warranty.

You most likely have suspension damage that needs repair. Don’t risk your safety; take it to Tesla.

Accidents are not covered under warranty. You most likely have suspension damage. I would contact your insurance and file a claim and insist on Tesla Repair. Don’t drive the car - like you said - not in a safe condition

That was the cars dash cam. He was just olaying back the video.

Had the same symptoms.

Wire can appear to be ok but can break within insulation from open close motion of deck lid.

Finally fixed. Cam working flawlessly. Bad rear deck harness. Broken ground return wire causing intermittent connection.

See my other comments in another thread. April 2018 manufacturering date. Check and see if you trunk lights flicker when you open/close the trunk lid. Bad harness.

Probably bad trunk lid harness, broken ground wire due to flexing opening/closing of lid.

Hi, So no mercury switch as I speculated. It looks like the truck deck lid harness on the right side is the problem. Earth ground wire was probably broken causing an intermittent ground connection which caused the trunk light issue. Tech replaced harness today and said that it will also...

When you open the trunk does your trunk light flash on and off?

My 2018 M3 is stock and this has been happening intermittently for the past 3 years!!! Intermittent open close trunk switch which (probably uses a level sensing liquid mercury switch) is causing my rear camera to be black screen intermittently. What do you think? I think I’ll set up a...

Ugh! Simply operator error.

You should be getting a higher charging rate at 50a, some where close to 40/hr rather than 29/hr which is typical of a 40a circuit.

I know your pain, but it’s all good now. Currently at 13,618 miles with no problems. Model 3: Breakdowns

UPDATE: Car performing with no problems. Currently at 13,618 miles.

Picked it my car from SC on Saturday. Promptly left on a 225 mile round trip. Now I’m close to 500 miles. Love the car! Worth the wait! My magical Tesla Model 3!

It was being prepped for delivery. Besides, the last identifying digits are really irrelevant for general production tracking.

Here is my car- no trim. 012xxx vin.

Performance 3 at Buena Park, CA location. $81k

Thanks, I look at my car tomorrow to see if it’s missing.

Saw this 3 in Toronto, Canada on 7/11/18.

??? Did you have to pay for this? How did you know about this and how to I go about obtaining one? Part #? Thx.

My posts are strictly meant for the benefit of the Tesla community. In a a forum like this, it’s important to give back and not just take. Hopefully my experience will help someone else with a similar situation. Thanks to those that are contributing to this thread.

Received a service receipt email yesterday with the list of repairs and that the car is ready. DU, pyro fuse, mosfet, bolts, vent tube, rear center console air vent assembly replaced. Passenger rt front door panel (on order), cleaned passenger rt front pillar, detailed exterior. Picking the...

I assume you’re talking about HV battery. Did you have to ask for compensation or did they just give it to you because it was the right thing to do?

???really!!! The thieve will be gone by the time anyone notices. So moral to story, don’t put anything valuable in frunk??

SC called today to state car is ready. Fuse and drive unit replaced, front passenger pillar cleaned, rear peeling center console replaced. Passenger door panel on order. They will send someone out to replace panel when it comes in stock. Detailed car to address paint clear coat haze. I will be...

After repairs, this is exactly what I’m hoping for. Car should save me an easy $200 in gas a month.

I possibly have a stupid question. If you car is not dead, I assume that if you apply power to those two wires, the frunk will NOT open, correct?? Thieves will have a field day if that was the case.

Yes, like you I also had this on my screen "Vehicle systems are powering up - Shift into D or R after message clears". Still haven’t heard back from SC when car will be ready but for now it’s not an issue since I don’t have time to pick it up until Saturday and I let them know that. Only...

That’s just plain dumb.

Yes - didn’t solve issue. Already diagnosed by SC who indicate bad d.u. Well for the record, yah it does suck and obviously for me, the jury is still out on how well things will be resolved. I have high hopes for this car and because it has such long range between charges, I bought my first...

20114 P85 loaner. (Speed limited to 85 mph lol) Drive unit replacement

Well I would think that VIN#s are available before car is actually built, tested etc so a lag in numbers to it being actually assigned to the car is normal.(?)

Reservation 3/31/16. Invited 4/18/18. Configured 4/26/18. Delivery/breakdown 7/3/18.

No. Didn't know that there was a possible concern with something like this happening. Well the story doesn't end there in that there are some paint clear coat issues (hazy spots), rear console rubber peeling, scratch on front pass door and dirty pass front pillar that needs to be taken care of.

For now, all they’re telling me is DRIVE UNIT FAILURE. I see that Model S had same issues early on.

You are correct. All vehicles at the Marina Del Rey delivery facility were already accounted for a specific owner; no choice -not like you would normally have on a dealer lot. Not if it enda up being a lemon - thats a different story. I know, I know do buy first model runs. Had a 2007 X5 that I...

Additional info. The car didn’t want to stay in transport mode. It keep deactivating after about 20 seconds. Tow truck driver asked me to sit in vehicle, which at that point it stayed in transport mode long enough time to be winched up onto the flatbed. I wonder if being behind the wheel is a...

Look for clear coat damage. Here is my personal issues from a 7/3/18 delivery and same day drive unit failure after driving 61 miles.

Yeah, a big spread from manufacture month to delivery. Thought about that when I received VIN #. Perhaps part of the holdback as to not exceed 200k deliveries in Q2?
