    Anyone Experienced This Service Message

    My 2016.5 75D 66k miles has this bizarre issue that no one seems to know what it's caused by. Once every few days sometimes about a week a car needs service message pops up for less than a second followed by a short alert tone. The service center has checked the logs and saw where the message...

    Service appointment confirmation

    Just got a service appointment confirmation via both TEXT and EMAIL, for service of my Model S this July. The appointment confirmation shows I'm due at a service center in NORWAY, July 17, 2019. Two things... 1. I never called, nor scheduled any service appointment. 2. I live in the United...

    Falcon Wing Doors Refuse to Open, et al

    I've always had trouble with the rear doors opening properly to their full range in an intermittent manner. I mentioned it as an afterthought the first time I had the car in for repair and a service tech diagnosed a faulty sensor on the driver's side. At that time I didn't know I had a problem...

    Are the Tesla Service Centers bad enough to cancel my Model 3 order?

    I ordered a Model 3 about a week ago and it is scheduled to be delivered next Tuesday (5/21/19). I've seen some threads where people are describing the horror of taking their Model 3 into a service center (Mainly for body repairs). On more than one occasion there was someone who was without...

    I told service about a tire defect, they said it was fine.....

    Hello everyone first time poster, long time reader. First and foremost, I love my MX I think it is literally the best car in earth. I didn’t come here to smash on my favorite brand. I took the car to service with a large list of minor repairs and concerns all due bill stuff in mid March. One...

    Battery Marriage Residual Torque Measurements - Engineering Study

    I got my Tesla back from the service center today after having some work done, and noticed this: Note the Correction (Paint Repair/Refinish) - I wonder if this study required retouching paint - and if so, where? Does anyone have any idea what this may be about?

    Toledo, OH getting a Service Center (Detroit, MI owners)

    Saw today on CNET, that Tesla is opening a service center in Toledo, OH that will also provide access to those in the Detroit, MI area since that State has blocked repair access to Tesla owners. Great news for many I'm sure. From the Tesla map for superchargers, stores and service centers it...

    Louisiana Tesla Owners

    Hello, I am very serious about purchasing a model 3 before the end of the year. There is just one thing that worries me. The nearest service center is Houston,TX. Is this something to consider a problem of owning a Tesla? Or am I just overthinking things? What has been your experience with...

    Service calls

    when I had questions or concerns for my local service center I used to pick up the phone, dial the number, and just like with my Honda dealership, spoke with my service department within a few seconds. Now...apparently Tesla has changed things and every time I try to talk to someone I can no...

    Can't contact a human at Service Center

    I tried calling my Service Center today, Lyndhurst Ohio. Humans no longer pick up the phone. The message refers you to the app for online scheduling or chat. Anyone else experience this?

    Very efficient service from the Devon (PA) service center

    I had the unfortunate experience Monday around 4:45 of hitting a huge pothole (totally covered by water) that totally flattened my right rear tire and damaged beyond repair the right front tire. So that was my first experience in calling roadside assistance. The roadside assistance truck was...

    Changes to Servicing

    Hi everyone, I'm a little confused, forgive me I'm a n00b. I placed an order a week ago for a long range Model S. My car hasn't been built yet. When I was at the showroom, they walked me through a service plan, which was basically buying 4 years of servicing upfront. Now I see they are saying...

    Model X - Noise Rattle Problem - Fixed @ San Francisco Tesla

    I have a Dec 17 MX 100D. Since I've owned the car there was this slight creaky sound coming from around the glove box - dash area on the passenger side. (I think someone else here on these threads posted something similar) It would make this creak sound as if either something was too tight, or...

    The honeymoon finally ebbs...

    I’m a little more than two years in with my late 2016 Model S 90D. I love it. Always have, still do. Brag on it at any opportunity. And, have often said “I’ll never go back...” meaning not just EV vs ICE but Tesla in specific. This weekend my wife and I traveled from our home in Alabama (one...

    New off-site car storage facility for the Dedham delivery center

    Driving south on Route 1 in Dedham this morning, I was surprised to see a large number of what looked like brand new Tesla cars in front of a now-closed former car dealership on the southbound side, at the corner of Pleasant Street. Looking at Google Maps street view, it looks as if the site...

    We're scheduled to leave for our annual Christmas trip early Saturday morning...so, of course.... this past Sunday, my frunk latch failed. Not great, but recoverable. I attempted to schedule an appointment for it, but they are slammed through late January, and no slots were available. Degree of...

    Have to pay for diagnostics at the SC, Reus audio is the reason

    My MX failed FW upgrade from 42.2 to 46.x last week, and by failed FW upgrade I mean the car didn't power up. The only things that worked were the doors and windows, nothing else. Once it was towed, I get a call from the SC who said I need to pay for the diagnostics (175$/hr) since the...

    Is it possible to ask a service center to downgrade version 9 to version 8?

    Is it possible to ask a service center to downgrade v9 to v8? If not, are there people I can hire to hack and downgrade version 9 to version 8? I really do not like the user interface of version 9. Thanks.

    Service failed me AGAIN - ISO a windshield for Roadster 2.5

    So, this happened the other day, right in the driver side. My insurance filled out the claim, and connected me with one of their "approved" repair companies. They put in a call and email to Tesla. Over a week later, no one has responded. This is typical of the horrible service that Tesla...

    What would you do? Keep or replace this service damaged car?

    This is a kind of a long story, so bear with me or TL;DR at the bottom. My car was delivered with several defects that I was told could be addressed by service at a later date. I documented the issues and waited several weeks for service to source the parts and then dropped the car off at the...

    New member with big plans... I hope.

    So as my profile states I am a mechanic by trade and a business owner by choice. I am interested in converting one of my BMW/MINI repair shops into a Tesla service shop. Why? Because I believe in Tesla and I have a child and I want to leave something other than a polluted mess of a planet for...

    P3D+ Issue: Front Undercarriage cover came loose (while driving)

    Hi all, First post. I took delivery of a P3D+ on 9/27. I've been absolutely awestruck with how well this thing drives, and have been driving way more as a result. Decided to go for a 110 mile trip with the family on Sunday, and about 60 miles from home, I hear a fluttering noise that is clearly...

    Servicing my Used Tesla Model S

    I recently purchased a used Model S and I wanted to know if I'm able to take it to a service center even though I'm still in the process of transferring ownership through Tesla. Or Is that a requirement before I can take it to a service center?

    Lack of loaner cars?

    Has anyone experienced a lack of available loaner cars at a service center when your appointment was made weeks in advance? This is the second appointment I've had to reschedule because Tesla, within the hours of the scheduled appointment, txts me saying there's no loaners available. I'm...

    Do not allow a third part of put your Roadster on a lift (properly placed jack okay)

    I did some searching on TMC, and I could not find a post that mentioned this, so I thought its worthy of posting. After having some service on a 1.5 , I asked about having a state inspection. I was told that the Tesla service centers in New York don't offer this, as they would need to make the...

    Has anyone had their Model 3 damaged at Burbank Service Center? What happened?

    I recently took my M3 for service at the Burbank SC, and when I picked it up, it had damage (curb rash) on the passenger rear rim, and a scratches on the rear bumper. Now the bumper on my 1900 mile Model 3 has to be repainted. Very frustrating, but has anyone had to deal with something similar...

    Advice on bumper repair

    In less than 3 weeks of owning my M3, someone scraped their car against mine while it was parked and unoccupied. I was livid, but to the person's credit, they stayed on the scene and admitted to the deed. There's a pretty good scrape on the rear bumper and the side was dislocated from the rest...

    Model 3 Damaged at CS, is this normal? What should I do?

    This is my first post here, but I need some advice. I dropped my M3 off at the Burbank SC on a Saturday with 77% of charge. The next evening when I checked the mobile app, it had 52% charge. Then they turned the mobile app off on Monday (when they started working on it). When I went to pick up...

    Item missing after a service center visit (Buena Park)

    Just a heads up... if you take your 3 in for service, might be worth taking an inventory or photos of your contents inside the car. I had an electronic device that has gone missing from my center console during my Model 3’s 3-day service trip to the Buena Park location. I specifically saw it in...

    Service Center swamped

    Here I am waiting 90 minutes for a loaner. Monday afternoon in Costa Mesa. I know we're in TeslaLand here, but none of the three people ahead of me have been offered a loaner. You should see the place, though. It's swamped. What's your experience?

    New MCU

    Car was in service center for a couple of cosmetic issues but then would not complete the firmware update to 18.10.5. A charge port door alert appeared and the port cover and its ECU were replaced but this did not fix the firmware install problem. At first it seemed the SD card was bad so they...

    Cross-country, service centers

    Going cross-country next week. In regards to service center availability, seems like there are large gaps in coverage. For example, if the car breaks down in Mississippi, will my choices be to get towed 400 miles to either Dallas or Atlanta ? Or is there a better option ? Thanks

I purchased the good year 19s both times. Should I be buying a different tire or is there no way to avoid...
