I have a lemon! What do I do?

Tesla uses arbitration so they voluntary buy the car back, that way it keeps the title clean. READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND FILE THE CLAIM, STOP BEING LAZY.

Tesla does not replace vehicles. Best case scenario for original poster is that Tesla will purchase this vehicle back based on negotiated price which will be lower than purchase price and the original poster will receive a check in the mail. At that time, he can purchase another Tesla. These are two separate transactions.

Correct, they do not "replace" a vehicle, but given that the problems started so early on in the purchase history, the buyer would likely get enough funds to be able to purchase a new Tesla all things equal without having pony up any more money.

Unless you read the fine print in advance and opt out of being held to mandatory arbitration.
