defects

Interesting question, I purchased a used 2022 model S with 1200 miles. I was doing a deep clean of my white seats today so I can prepare for ceramic coating. I’ve come to realize all my seats have defects. I was wondering if this is covered still even though I have 2,300 miles, and the car was...

Its been a rather frustrating time owning a model 3. It was meant to be part of an enjoyable YouTube series which ended in me personally not wanting to poster something of bad quality. Yes I held back. I have documented here the cluster of a pickup experience with pictures and video in another...

The guy dropped the car off and immediately I noticed 3 issues. - Door, trim, panels not lined up (I'm used to this on my S and X, but my 3 never had this) - Multiple paint issues (see video) - Tailgate not locking issue. This has been noted by other youtubers I was so close to refusing the...

Hi all, I've had my current ICE for 13 years and finally decided to take the plunge and go for a Model 3. This is my first vehicle purchase (last one was inherited) and also the largest purchase I've ever made... so I'm a little nervous. Any advice on what I should be looking for, what...

After one hell of a terrible experience with an Eniro 64kw new car failing me on a trip to france I dodged a bullet and rejected it. Long and agonising story short the car can go into a mode where it will not charge anywhere without alerting the user there is a problem and you can imagine...

So I know we have a 30 day / 100 mile window to report defects for a service appointment following collection. I initially logged a service appointment on the app following delivery where we established 3 paint defects and an ugly seal of one side of the headliner to the roof glass, and these...

Today I seem to join many Model 3 owners who have suddenly noticed a large crack in the glass roof without any sign of impact. My car is only 3 months old, and not seeing a sign of impact or hearing any noise whatsoever, I can only assume a manufacturer defect / stress crack, etc. As such, I...

Hi i just got my model 3 a week again, and since the first day the backup camera wouldn't work. The screen would be white, and and reset wouldnt work either. I took it in yesterday to Tesla and they the computer/screen was bad. Tesla said they already knew about this problem for the model 3, yet...

I'm looking for several owners that are having issues with paint and interior issues with cars that are out of warranty. My car a 2015 Model S (even though garaged 100% of the time when not in use) has paint just peeling off the top of the driver side mirror. Additionally my dashboard looks...

JAN 2017 S75D-nee-S60D high-mileage owner here. Curious to see if other members with a S (or X) built in this time frame experienced any issues with the DRLs. By DLRs, I mean the "halo" which borders the LED headlight enclosure. Earlier this year the passenger side DLR partially failed where a...
