    Is 1'000 USD too much for a 2 year service ?

    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...

    Tesla Service Center coming to Madison Wisconsin

    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...

    Standard Range Plus Autopilot Removed Remotely [by Tesla]

    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...

    Model S OEM headlight installation

    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...

    Bad service, great car

    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...

    Tesla made a *HOUSE CALL*

    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...

    EAP and driver assistance failures

    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...

    Crazy Things Tesla Service Has Said...

    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...

    Freak Hail Storm!

    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...

    Tesla Service Center - Irvine

    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...

    SF Bay Area Service Center recommendation?

    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...

    Share your positive Tesla Service experience

    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...

    Tesla Superchargers | Brooklyn Museum | Out of Service Stations

    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...

    Should I take my car to PPF service right after delivery?

    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...

    Recommendations on repairs outside of Tesla

    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...

    Bad Tesla Customer Service
