What were the failures out of curiosity?
I just got a 2013 with 100k miles on it. The only issue is that the sunroof won't open. But I understand the sunroofs are garbage in these cars anyways so I can live with it.[/QUOTE
I’m interested to know who has had the worst experience and most unreliable second hand model S. I saved for 5 years for mine and purchased a 2015 Model S with 53,000 miles on the clock. It has been a totally unreliable disaster. Breakages and failures time after time. I’ve had it for 6 months and it has been in the repair shop 4 times now and undriveable for 11 weeks. It is disgraceful.
I’m a front line essential worker and it has caused me so much stress through the worst of Covid. I am gutted to have my heart and wallet ripped apart after having bought my dream car.
First failure early April after 2 weeks was the battery coolant heater £1300 and off the road for 2 1/2 weeks
Next failure 3 weeks later was a boot lock but I couldn’t lock the car since it still believed the boot was open, 4 days off road to get that fixed
all the tesla service would offer me was a normal hire car at £140 per day ffs.totally useless.
It worked for most of June and July.
As I was travelling home from work the night before I went away on a 2 week family holiday I stayed getting a horribly loud crackling and arcing noise over the audio at max volume. No radio, sound or anything. The car was only driveable with ear plugs and ear defenders over the top.
3 weeks to get the car into the service Center a week to diagnose an MCU fault, 2 weeks to wait for the wrong part to be delivered then half a week for the correct part. A week to fit it, total over 7 weeks and £1724
I picked it up last thursday then on Saturday night. I stoppped to charge at a supercharger On my way to work and reversing in there was a very loud bang from the front suspension and It part collapsed. Car towed back to service Center and an £85 taxi to get me to work. Goodness knows how long it will be in the Center for now and how much it will cost.
I just don’t know what to do with it.. advice appreciated..
I think Tesla should buy it and crush it. Unless something changes I won’t ever be recommending anyone to ever buy one.
many dream has been destroyed!
