    North Hollywood Service Center opening in former Kmart space

    Saw this on Reddit but I don't think it was posted here yet. Just passed by today and the barbed wire fence is still up but they have some Tesla banners up on the front. This is a massive space so it might be a while before it opens. Not too long ago they were using this as a storage space of...

    Tire failure after service center visit

    Warranty was expiring on my 2019 3P so took it in for an inspection to the service center in West LA. Told everything was fine, charged me $250 for the privilege. ~2 months and maybe 500 miles later, I get a flat tire. When I get the wheel off, this is what I'm greeted with! I can't...

    "Unable to charge - Service is required" -- 1st service visit didn't fix it. Any ideas?

    I took delivery of my 2023 MS LR last month, and it was sent out to fix issues found on the delivery. Most of them are paint issues, and the service center was able to fix them, though it took them 2 weeks. Right at the time I think my car is perfect and am ready to enjoy it, it threw an error...

    Why did Tesla Service Touch My Perfectly Fine Panels and Make it Worse // Best Service Center in Bay Area Recs?

    Hi folks, recently I had my model Y passenger side rear door adjusted at a Tesla Service Center. It was raining a lot on that day, so I couldn't really look at the results too closely. However, when I got home in my garage, I noticed that now I have weird panel gaps near the trunk that was not...

    Does Service Center perform any courtesy perks?

    Taking my Y in for service and wondering if they do things like top off windshield fluid, vacuum interior, wash the car, charge the battery? Any of those? I know for my old ice car they would do a lot of these as a courtesy.

    Woke up this morning to find my rear windshield spontaneously shattered!

    Not sure when exactly it happened, some time between 11pm and 7am. It was 33-deg F outside and I had turned on the defrost at around 6:45am, where my Long range MY was parked. As you can see, there is ice from the previous days snow storm (not sure if it’s related to the breakage). You’ll also...

    Taken 2021 Model Y in to service center 4 times in last month for "Powertrain needs servicing,", still unresolved - Anyone on the other side of this?

    Started with DIR_a149 error, and limited speed to anywhere from 71-50 mph. The first time we took it in, the service center said they found the problem and it was a sensor. Fair enough. Same message popped up a day later. The next two times they replaced the oil pump in the rear motor. The...

    service center covered dash cam

    Several months after my Tesla had been in service, I went to look at dash cam footage of a recent incident, only to find that there was tape on the dash cam blocking its view. On previous visits to the service center, they can disconnect the power from the dash cam. So I checked that, and it...

    Wrong Service Repair Solution?

    So, not sure if this is a 'common' Tesla thing, but when I collected my Model 3 last week the SA helped me log paint issues (chips & scratches) that needed to be fixed with the service option in the app. Now the unusual part is that Tesla have just quoted the repair (under warranty, so £0) and...
