Hello All,
Brand new to the Tesla Family, 8 days since “owning” one. I’m teetering on the verge of absolutely regretting my purchase.
On Wednesday I noticed a puddle of fluid/oil under the rear axle in my garage and initially thought it was break fluid, took the day off to contact Tesla service and they asked me to drive it in that day so they can take a look.
The service advisor took a look and said it just looked like the drive unit had a small leak, 2 hours later they tell me the leak is BAD, so they said they were going to replace the entire drive unit and that there was a “manufacturer defect” w/ the seal. Luckily they had one in stock to replace the unit, but received a message this morning saying that everything is now delayed because they broke a coolant hose while either installing or removing the old unit. Less than 500 miles on the rig, and already 2 major repairs. Has anyone ran into any similar issues on a BRAND NEW vehicle? Please tell me it gets better.
