There are now numerous threads in this forum about the battery's PCS in the HV Battery Service Panel breaking down. In the dispute I have filed with Tesla awaiting AAA mediation, it would be helpful to have a rough estimate on how many forum members have experienced this problem. If you are one...

I took delivery of my Model Y in April of 2021. Upon delivery, I did a thorough inspection of the car, as many on this form advised, to look for scratches, panel gaps, etc. that would need to be addressed by Tesla Service.
As expected there were a number of build-quailtiy issues with the Model...

Is there a list of tire stores or resources for Tesla service in Atlanta that can put tires on Tesla's apart from the Tesla service center? The places I have called do not have the equipment to lift a Tesla as it's too heavy.
I am in Newnan and the service center says I am 52 miles away (they...
I've been looking all over the internet, on forums and Twitter, with no luck even finding anyone with my problem. I am looking for any tips or suggestions. Ever since v11 all my dome and visor lights turn on and off over and over every few seconds until I put the car in drive. It get really...
Dear Friends,
I wonder if Tesla sell spare parts alone for DIY repairs. Anybody has any experience with that?
If they do, are the price levels the same with what they mention on their repair quotations or higher and if higher, by how much?
Thank you!

Short version: I replaced the compressor in my 2014 Model S just two years ago. Service is telling me it has failed again and want to charge me $4000 for the full fix. Something feels off about all this, and so I'm seeking advice.
Longer version:
In 2019, I bought a used 2014 Model S85. I...
Tesla charging me 1200$ for two back tire change and alignment. Can i go to firestone to get this done? Or are there cheaper options? If not is 1200 good?
My Model X has been to service 5 times since March 2020. For all sorts of issues, however the last 2 times I took it to service for a warning that stated my brake fluid is too low and to pull over. Both times they told me it was normal and it should give you that warning when parking on an...

Hello Everyone,
My Tesla Model 3 SR w/ FSD arrived on June 24, 2021. I have not been able to get my cameras to calibrate despite driving over 200 miles on roads with lines that could not be more clear. Furthermore, in the Self Driving Visualization view, I only see the lanes on the roads, no...
Amid speculation of Madison Wisconsin getting a new service center based on a job posting somebody saw-
I was visiting the Milwaukee showroom to test drive a model 3, and the sales advisor asked me what my biggest hang up is to pulling the trigger. I said that Madison doesn’t have any service...
I bought this 2020 Tesla Model 3, which the sticker indicates is a Standard Range Plus. The car was made in March 2020. The sticker clearly shows this a Standard Range Plus model with base autopilot included. The car has fog lights which only the Standard Range Plus cars were made with. The base...
I have a 2013 Model S that needs new headlights due to seal ruptures in the case that allow moisture to seep in. I have one that regularly turns off while in use and last night they both went out as I was driving home after dark - only the fog lamps got me through. This morning they are working...
I took my Tesla Model 3 for a pre-arranged appointment at Park Royal service centre (London, UK) at 10.30am on Friday Nov 20th. They said the repair--camera calibration--would take two hours and told me that they would be in touch as soon as it was finished. By 2pm, I had heard nothing, so sent...
I'm in Boston. I noticed about a month ago that the rubber seal between the door (both front and back on driver side) and body have come off on the bottom. Created a mobile service appointment on 1st of November for 19th. I got a text today that the parts didn't arrive so I need to push my...

I recently had the WEIRDEST and probably coolest auto maintenance experience ever with my Model Y, and thought I'd share it here. I got my MY in September, and from the beginning, I was noticing a weird, chemically, hot-battery smell outside the car when I would drive with the windows open...
Tesla’s service situation needs to catch up with its growing sales. As reported by Electrek, a person familiar with Tesla‘s upcoming plans shared that the company informed staff that a huge service center expansion is coming. This is, of course, to better equip the electric automaker to deal...
First post on this forum.
Picked up my Model 3 dual motor AWD in March of this year, upgraded to EAP (enhanced autopilot) in late September when it was offered.
Since that update, whenever I drive over 6 hours on the road ALL of the driver assistance features shut off. No autopilot, no auto...
Thought this could be fun... the crazy stuff that service personnel sometimes say that is disconnected from reality.
1. I made an appointment to have my car aligned because I scraped a curb with the right front wheel, and it no longer tracked straight. Tesla Service (when I arrived): "Since you...
Ok, I've had my new Model Y for three days. Last evening around 8PM, just after it had gotten completely dark, a small freak storm rolled over that dumped golf ball size hail on my new car (and two others in the driveway). After the storm passed we examined the cars and noticed some damage on...
Jack Mode setting has apparently been moved on a recent software update.
Had a wheel swapped out today and neither the technician, a manager at Discount Tire, nor I could find a Jack Mode setting.
Called Tesla and Jack Mode is still present in the car but is now found under the Service tab and...
I could use some advice......I have a 2016 MX 90D that I purchased new. At the time, I also purchased the prepaid service plan to provide 4 years of recommended factory service. I have now taken my car for service 3 years in a row and had the prepaid service done without issue. Today, as I...
I was browsing the Irvine permit portal and came across a new permit that mentions Tesla as the tenant. I thought it might be a Supercharger at first but upon closer inspection it looks like it might be a Service Center.
The address is 2801 & 2803 Barranca Parkway, Irvine CA which is across the...
I have a Model Y performance that is having heat pump issues after taking it to my nearest service center to have the retrofit heat pump cover (AC Compressor Acoustic Cover, Model Y Part #: 1502213-00-A, I think) installed. I must say that I'm not real happy with the service there and would...
I'm tired of seeing all these threads about a bad experience someone had with their local service center, so figured I would start a thread to share some light.
One caveat, the issues I have had with my car have been rare and minor.
My first issue was that my car refused to download an...
Came early this morning to get a head-start on the day, and spent ten minutes trying to find a supercharging station that works. I attempted 6 of them before I spoke with another Tesla driver here who showed me that only the stations marked with a Star are actually energized. This location has...
Just spotted this post on Reddit, where a user found the Tesla app now can schedule service for energy products just like the vehicles: Just noticed Tesla app now has a service option under solar page, wasn’t there previously : teslamotors
Sounds like a big step toward better customer service...
Although it may come early, I'm scheduled to pick up my TM3 on Sunday, Sep 13th. I've already talked and texted with the manager at the shop where I plan to take my vehicle for PPF & ceramic coating. He recommends bringing it to him directly after I pick up my car. The reasoning is sound - i...
Hello... I have been living with a rattle and squeak in my M3 for almost a year now and Tesla Service has been pointless on tracking this down and fixing it. We did a "ride along" and they were able to verify the sound immediately so they took it for service, twice. Now they tell me that this is...
I bought my 3sr+,2 months ago and recently noticed steering wheel was not centered apt today said possibly 4 days for it to be ready, at drop off they gave me 500 in Uber credits, and texted me 10 hours later to pick up, overall very impressed
Hi, first time posting here and I apologize for incoming sob story but finding myself with limited recourse to solve my situation and hoping someone knows a way to help.
I received my Model X 75D June 2018 and instantly fell in love. I stretched my budget a bit (or more) but found every bit of...
Model Y pick-up in June. Three weeks at Service Center. For 20+ issues including: paint, fitment, interior, and out-of-alignment doors.
Most issues resolved. But, somewhere in the process my front hood and rear trunk lid "T" emblems were taken off. Still have the 'DUAL MOTOR' letters, but...
I got my model Y delivered at end of June. I found multiple issues and scheduled a service at Clarkston Michigan. So far It’s been postponed for at least twice.
After being postponed the first time, I had the appointment rescheduled tomorrow, while today I received a mysterious txt saying they...
