Thanks cleverscreenam, I am aware of all of these shops on the east coast. But living in MD it isn't easy to reach 057 or EG especially when I have simple issues (not battery or motor issues). Additionally, I already purchased the extended battery warranty with 057 and do plan to get up to EG to have them do a 100k vehicle inspection and overview for me. For now I will work on all the little issues myself and unless I absolutely need to then maybe take it to my local Tesla Service center. Additionally, I recently found a local tire, wheel, alignment shop that I trust that I plan to have them do all my alignment and tire work for me moving forward.3rd-party repair shops, my friend. Nothing special about the suspension, anyone can work on it, and places like wk057 in NC and Electrified Garage in NH can fix special battery/motor issues.
Oh you nailed it...Tesla no longer needs any one to sell their cars thats for sure. Well for now I am keeping my until they pry it from my hands. Hope to catch you in the wild. Stay safe and don't be a menace on the road...=DAbsolutely. I too feel betrayed by customer service, I bet most of the early adopters do, as we used to be Tesla's biggest fanboys. Alas, we are no longer needed by mothership.tesla.com...
@cleverscreenam...this one is a bit tough for me to figure out short of hitting pot holes and bad roads over the life of the car so far. I think metal fatigue happens. I have taken it to the Owings Mills Tesla Service Center just this afternoon. Lets see what happens. I definitely want to repair it and keep driving it. But lets just say that I am super thankful that over the past 2 years I have been dealing with the car driving strange and doing the same behavior as when this broke...So I knew to not just left of the gas too hard and to not use breaks but to be very gentle with all my inputs. For now I highly recommend all Tesla owners to have AAA Premier membership for that free 200 mile towing. Just in case...well worth its weight in gold. Please cross your figures for me that this doesn't cost an arm and a leg.WOW!!! Did you buy some lottery tickets while you're at it, because you are SO LUCKY and skilled to keep control and not crash in that situation!!
Can you help me since I have your service plan? I do have AAA so i could get it towed to you some how. I PM'd you too.Pretty easy fix, but the parts and labor at Tesla Service are going to make that expensive...

Can help regardless of that.Can you help me since I have your service plan? I do have AAA so i could get it towed to you some how. I PM'd you too.
Tesla Customer Service on the phone quoted me $800 to tow 60 miles to their repair center, that's the same price to ship it coast-to-coast on a car hauler. Instead, I rented a car trailer from uHaul and paid a pickup truck to pull it.Looks like it's about 420 miles to Hickory, NC. AAA Premium is what, 200 free miles? Then full towing price for the remaining 220 miles. That's going to be one hell of a honking towing bill!!
Thanks for chiming in @cleverscreenam. I agree shipping it would be best. For now waiting for SC cost estimate.
Thanks @wk057, I will contact your team, how do I get a hold of anyone? I email you all via your website contact us page, but never get response. Call?
At 125,353 Miles.
Long time with no updates. But recently had this strange clicking clunking noise coming from the rear when decelerating, so decided to check all the suspension bolts in the rear...and found that my rear driver side toe arm eccentric bolt was loose. I am guessing when I got the alignment last at Tesla Service the same horrible tech left the bolt loose and not torqued down. It was loose enough that I could see it with my eyes, and then when I put the wrench on it yap...super loose. Folks looks like we need to check these things after the techs work on our cars...this is why I will soon leave the Tesla family. Tesla needs to hire techs that care and not over work them. Very disappointing, but I fixed my issue. But what happens if they do this to someones who isn't car guy. I mean This could have ended up with me causing some serious damage while driving at high speed.
Thanks for that info. I have always taken my car into Tesla for issues with the rear pushing and swaying and they have always done alignment for me. I would assume they do it under load. Also they mentioned that after replacing the front components they think I should come in later to replace the rear. And that was on the list of things to do...but welp...this subframe issue hit me first. I am pretty certain that my subframe was failing from day one of me reporting the strange wandering and swaying at high way speeds on and off throttle. Also when in chill mode and low regen the issue was less pronounced soo...points to the issue being spotted early. But service always stated alignment issues, then even stated bad tires, and maybe out of round wheels. So I purchased new wheels and tires and still the issue persisted.I just reinstalled my subframe after LDU rebuild. bolted on the toe link, camber link, and shock without loading the suspension. Rear end felt less compliant after (or maybe from just not driving car for 2 months during rebuild haha)
