    Tesla Service in Santa Clara cannot fix basic things

    In February 2024, I purchased a brand new Model Y. The ordering through the all went smooth and they dropped off the car on my driveway while I was at work. After work I did some delivery inspections and realized small paint scratch (around 2 inches) and secondary door seals weren’t positioned...

    Received wrong roof rack with rewards redemption

    I recently redeemed rewards points for a roof rack for my MYLR. I received a Model 3 roof rack instead. Hoping to answer a few questions: - Are the MY and M3 racks interchangeable? I thought this was previously the case, but have heard that they no longer are interchangeable. - Does anyone...

    Tesla Warsaw center. Nightmare customer service. Looking for a complaint contact

    Hello fellow Tesla owners, I have had a worst experience during Tesla Service visit in Warsaw, Poland. Long story short - car was not fixed because of missing part after they have sent me a confirmation that all parts are ready and in place. Traveled ~600 km, rented a hotel for two nights...

    Is it worth reporting bugs?

    I still report bugs, particularly phantom braking, by hitting voice assistant and saying "Bug report: phantom braking" and it goes through. Is it even worth doing that? In this age of AI learning everything, does reporting like this even do anything?

    Tesla Service Opinions

    Just got a model 3 and had some issues. I took it to a service center and had a pretty big discrepancy with management and they declined to escalate my situation above that location. Dont understand why they are allowed to chose where my complaint escalates to when i am the customer. Very...

    Safety Score 2.0 and Hard Braking

    I have a 2018 model S, purchased TSLA insurance 10 days ago, and reside in a North Texas metro. I am enrolled in Tesla insurance with Safety Score 2.0, with a current score of 92, and a zero accident history. All of this context because I believe the safety score calibration is wrong, as I...

    Issues with Car software during drive

    Yesterday I was travelling on a busy freeway with merging traffic and entering a 55mph construction zone. I typically have to adjust the cruise control to accommodate this as the software isn't aware of the reduced speed limit. And, what's even more frustrating, the car usually speeds up in...

    Tesla Insurance Experience?

    Anyone else have an impossible time getting a Tesla Insurance adjustor to respond? I was hit in my MY the first week of April, and submitted a claim. I was contacted the first business day after, and it has been radio silent ever since. I've only had success receiving responses from the tesla...

    Theater Center unsyncing and speaker popping

    Hey everyone, I'm having some issues that have been on going. 2021 MYLR. Bought new. Without fail, when I am watching Hulu or Netflix I will hear a pop or crackle from the speakers, the sound will go out completely and come back over a period of seconds, or the volume will lower with more...

    Gen3 charger order black hole

    So we ordered the Gen3 wall charger on 1/Feb (so 7 days ago) and it seems to have gone into a black hole in Tesla’s system in Australia. CC was charged, order shows on the site but no shipping reference number, no status updates. No response to emails. No phone number to call it seems for the...

    What should I do - 2012 Signature Red Model S

    I've happily owner a 2012 Model S Signature 132k miles for over 8 years. I've had some minor issues over the years but most were resolved under warranty or fixed for less than $1000. My recent problem started in August 2022 when my car was rear-ended while I was at a light. The damage to the...

    Poor Experience buying a Tesla Model 3

    I am posting my story wondering if anyone will read it or frankly care. The statement bellow was originally intended for Tesla, at least whichever department handles complaints (if there even is one) but my post purchase survey gave me little room to deliver my account of my experience and my...

    Tesla Mobile Service No Show - Unresponsive

    Hi All, Newbie here to this app and forum, but figured I’d give it a try. I own a Tesla Model 3 (since circa 2018) long range and love it. I’ve always scheduled service maintenance visits via the Tesla App with no issues. I’ve always been able to schedule services at the service centers...

    Lease return nightmare model X

    So I leased a model X in 2018, my lease ended in 9/2021, and I decided to extend it for another 3 months, so my new end lease date was 12/2021. All payments for the past 39 months were made on time. December comes around and I tried calling to schedule my return, but all I got from tesla reps...

    Model S Service Experience

    Door Handle - make sure to get the same version if you replace it yourself

    The gear on my 2013 Model S 2.5 Door handle broke (changed once during warranty). I ordered a repair kit from Teslarti but it was for the version 1, they are in the process of the return... since I had the car open, i didn't want to waste time finding a gear so I ended up calling my local...

    Tesla Online Shop - Emails ignored, half the order missing (£500+) What do I do?

    Has anyone else found it impossible to get in touch with the Tesla Online Store? The address given was: [email protected] I get an email back saying they will take a while to respond but then nothing for weeks. About 2 weeks ago I ordered 2 wall chargers and 2 pedestals. Only half...

    Weather delay?

    Is weather delay a thing? I feel like it’s a lie from Tesla. I ordered a model Y in early July. Same experience as everyone else: original timeline was 4-8 weeks, then it delivery estimate kept moving. Finally got a note saying my car would be here by Nov 19. I got a VIN. I was contacted by...

    Aggressive Bill Collection

    Had my first mobile service on June 22nd, servicing a smelly A/C system (vehicle is 7 months old...) and diagnose a substantial rattle. After the tech completed the AC repair (needed to schedule follow up to replace entire skirt for rattle fix) I asked about payment, she stated I'd receive...

    Extremely poor delivery experience from Mt. Kisco, NY

    Yesterday, my wife and I drove 235 miles from Central New York to Mt. Kisco for a 2:00pm appointment to pick up my new Model Y. About 20 minutes after checking in, a sales associate greeted me and took me to my car. To my surprise and disappointment, I immediately saw that the vehicle had a...

    Tesla Energy has the worst Customer Service. Regret getting Tesla

    Tesla customer service is non-existent. Terrible experience from the start. I should of listen to my gut and NOT used them. I ordered the panels July 2020. They installed the equipment in December 2020. They installed the Powerwalls on the floor when I asked them to wall mount it. They...

    Supercharger support: Total fail

    Once again, Tesla’s horrific customer service has demonstrated itself. Such a shame, given how exemplary there were when they first launched. I took a road trip this past weekend. About 2 hours after my 2nd supercharger stop, I received an alert, both on my IC screen and the main screen that...

    Christmas Delivery Delays

    Has anyone else gotten a text from Tesla about their delivery delayed that were expecting in the next few days? My scheduled pickup date was supposed to be Saturday. I just got a text message (on Christmas Eve!) that they will have to push my date back to Monday. No real explanation. Not sure...

    No customer service for 2013 Model S

    I have a 2013 Model S with 133K miles on it. My problem is that it is extremely difficult, nearly impossible to get any customer service. When I first got the car customer service was great. It went from excellent to good, good to so so, and now I am being ignored. No service. Tesla just...

    Cancelled my MS order out of frustration

    Before I go on this rant, big shout-out to everyone on this forum who is just so awesomely helpful. So much better than Tesla's actual "customer service". I swear if Tesla fired their top 10 customer service people and replaced them with random people from this message board, they'd probably...

    Customer service appears to be broken

    I just found out that customers have no avenue to escalate a new vehicle delivery issue with sales or service beyond the level of local store manager. If the issue is the store manager or the issue conflicts with the business pressure put on the store manager, the customer really has no...

    Free unlimited supercharging

    Dear Tesla friends, I bought Model X at the end of last year . I was told by sales-rep. that I have free unlimited surpercharging. I got media proof that I should have free unlimited supercharging. Does anyone here who bought Model X or Model S in October-December 2019? Do you have free...

    Bad Tesla Customer Service

    For a CEO that can put men safely on a space station and will eventually get them to Mars and for a CEO who can get a car to drive itself on curved roads, how in the world can he not get the customer service piece right. My Tesla 3 did not start (apparently the 12V battery was dead without any...

    Is the insane lack of email responses/customer service I am experiencing common?

    I have sent of about 9 messages in total to my Tesla Advisor and Tesla Delivery Specialist since I ordered my Model Y on 5/28. I have had responses on less than half of them and from the Delivery Specialist the responses have come 5-7 days form when I sent the email. Furthermore, the emails to...

    Should Tesla do something about my degradation?

    I own a 2013 Models S 60 (EPA rated range 208) purchased in September of 2018. After taking delivery I charged to 100% and the rated range was 177 miles. I brought this to Tesla's attention immediately and the response was "it's normal". Now, a year and a half later it gets 160 rated miles to a...

    Tesla Total Customer Service Experience poll

    It is clear to me that Tesla has shut down traditional customer service eg call, text or email a single source and get a timely response that takes care of your issue(s).

    No Way to Talk to Human at Tesla

At first, the manager said it is on the website, to which I searched and found nothing. Then she replied with what seems to be a fake mobile phone number that when googled goes to some...

    Tesla Owes Me $1000+

    Accused of cracking my panoramic sunroof within less than 24 hours of ownership. I had largely forgiven and ignored Tesla’s less than adequate customer service, because I was keen to get my hands on my new car. My experience today though, cannot be ignored. I collected my Model 3 AWD...

    Delivery Contact Problems

    I am all for Tesla trying out new ways of selling cars, but can it really be a sensible approach to selling a £35,000+ car to make it impossible for the customer to talk to any human being about their purchase between the point of order until they turn up to take delivery? I've tried all sorts...
