    Vehicle fraudulently transferred out of account without permission

    Text Tesla and suggest they call your cell phone on facetime, at a time you will be with your car, and you will walk to your car and show the car and VIN is in your possession. Suggest they do the same after that with the fake buyer.

    Nightmare Tesla experience- all from a flat tire

    60% of US elec power comes from fossil fuels, 20% of that from coal less than 3% is solar and has no significant way to be stored at present. How will there be enough power to run all the elect cars planned to be produced at present. How much diesel fuel is burnt to manufacture and deliver 1...

    Snippiness 2.0

    What world do you live in, where Tesla sells him a car with wheel locks, doesn't supply the key, and they aren't responsible?

    Just come across the phantom braking issue, considering canceling my order

    It would seem your reason for buying a Tesla is for a great AP experience. There are more problems with AP than just PB. Since the main reason you are buying is for AP, I think you will be sorely disappointed. IMO AP is not ready for prime time, and never will be with the current hardware in...

    If my livelihood depended on my car, I wouldn't touch a Tesla. Service can be anywhere between pretty good, to absolutely awful, to non existent, depending on where you are, and you can't even call them on the phone, and getting them to communicate can be difficult or just not happen in a timely...

    Frame Damage on a used Model S

    Tesla is offering to make you whole. Seems to me that your issue is with your ins company, as it is their responsibility to replace your vehicle with a like kind vehicle, even if it now costs more than you paid. Of course I don't know your ins contract, or the rules in your State, but that is...

    Is there a problem here with neutral and ground

    In the old days the neutrals and the grounds were all on one bar, now we isolate the neutrals from the grounds. Your panel has grounds and neutrals mixed together on both bars, and it looks like it's tied together at the bottom. In your case all the neutrals should be on the right and all the...

    eMMC recall reimbursement

    Yes, Tesla does have a belligerent attitude about many things, and to me that's all the more reason to take them to task. I agree with you that, If a person is billing out at $500/hr and has more work than they can keep up with, and No Free time, then of course it isn't worth their time. I think...

    eMMC recall reimbursement

    Actually it costs Tesla more. Arbitration costs $0. Small claims is a small filing fee, which is included in a judgment when you win. It takes a little time but very little money, on the other hand, Tesla has to pay staff to deal with each claim, and travel if in small claims. After they lose 10...

    eMMC recall reimbursement

    Not the method I would use, or suggest. I would file for arbitration, If I got no satisfaction there, I would file in small claims. Filling for arbitration should get you some attention from Tesla legal, that's what happen with yellow screens. legally, Tesla has no leg to stand on, Tesla offered...

    Ex Tesla Forums community: We were closed down by Tesla: Engage has nowhere to go.

    Yes there are, and yes they do, but they don't take over every thread with their cheerleading BS, like in that forum, which, I believe, is the reason most of us left.

    Sentry Mode bust!

    Yes, good point. In Michigan, punitive damages are not permitted to punish defendants, but exemplary damages are awarded to the plaintiff for especially despicable behavior on the part of the defendant. Punitive, exemplary, Hmm, seems like a distinction without a difference.

    Sentry Mode bust!

    Simple. Let the do whatever they will, then file in small claims, for actual and punitive damages, to the max allowed in small claims. If that doesn't deserve punitive damages, I don't know what does. When he has to pay out of his pocket, that's when he will learn.

    Small accident

    Simple. Since he tried to pull that, get your car fixed at his expense. He deserves it and I can see the dent in your car, no reason for you to eat that.

    I have read every post in this thread, and unless some of wk057s posts were removed before I saw them, I have not seen anything that I believe should have caused him to not be able to post openly. Given that Tesla has not been forthcoming to say the least, on this issue, it leaves owners, try to...

    NHTSA asks Tesla to recall 158,000 [now 135,000] vehicles for eMMC failure. Voluntary Recall issued

    Tesla made the mistake of having safety features controlled by the MCU. People are having MCU failures that Tesla claims are not the emmc. That needs to be reported to the Feds, with pics of the failures, and writings from Tesla claiming it's not the emmc. This is just as unacceptable as the...

    Agreed. Seems the only way to get Tesla to do the right thing anymore is to sue them. Should be an easy win since they have basically admitted fault in a "malfunctioning chip". Remember when they sold us cars based on how well they were going to take care of their customers? :confused:

    What is 12v battery replacement cost

    Congrats OP. I knew Tesla could not be trusted when they trashed our model S UI, to accommodate model 3 software, Then when they force downgraded me on to V9 from V8, after I refused to accept their downgrade, for possibly around a year I think, then add in batterygate and chargegate, I knew I...
