My 2021 Model 3 Died After Drive Unit Repair

[Double "R"]

My 2021 Tesla Model 3 STANDARD died today after pulling out the driveway of my kids daycare. I was lucky that the dump truck I pulled in front of did not plow me down.

I'm trying to defend Tesla and tell my wife that it is a reliable car. However, it is indefensible when the vehicle fails so suddenly in traffic. I'm venting here, but seriously, there is a big problem with Tesla service when a vehicle that is supposed to have a "new drive unit" just craps out on the road 3 weeks after replacement (picked up on Sep 29th and failed today, Oct. 19th).

QUESTION: how many failures does it take before I can reasonably request a replacement? Is the issue the car or the service? I don't know because Tesla lacks that human touch. What is Elon's plan to address this issue?

If you mean "replacement car" you will need to look up your states "lemon" laws.

What is the Virginia Lemon Law and how does it work?

Sounds like the service center doesn’t read service bulletins something that I have never have understood but a bulletin about the rear inverter replacement on 2021 3/y is so clear and obvious it baffles me
