I tried posting on reddit first but no lick in getting responses as to what to do. I don't see anyone else having this many problems with there tesla so I'm alarmed. I know it's old and probably needs some normal upkeep but this just sounds ridiculous at this point
Please, if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it because I can't keep this car if it's going to constantly be in service, and I don't know what to do anymore.
I purchased a used 2015 tesla s p85d from a 3rd party dealership in May 2021 out of state because it only had 16,000 miles on it and I figured that's too low of milage to have anything wrong with it. Biggest regret of my life. Never buy from APX Brokers in WA.
When it shipped to me, the center screen had a crack, the left turn signal was broken, it was covered in scratches (even more than my 2013 vw!), the seats were scratched, all four tires and rims had road rash... All not disclosed to me.
I spent over $2,000 on replacing the mcu, center screen, and left turn signal and then the Tesla mechanic told me there's a section that was repainted and the alignment is off. This makes me think it was in a car accident which makes me mad because I specifically asked the dealership I purchased it from if it was in an accident and they said "no, it has a clean title".
So that was back in July/August when I received the car. It's been to service some more times
Next, the coolant valve needed to be replaced, and then, not even a month later the electric heating battery, hv battery, and the 12v battery all die at the same time. It's crazy especially since I only drive it two times since that service appointment because of the holidays and I got covid....
Tesla wants $1,700 for all 3 of those battery replacements but I thought the hv would still be covered in the 8 year warranty?
Ugh this sucks. I purchased a tesla because all the online posts claim you never spend more than $100 in annual maintenance and I haven't even driven it 3,000 miles and it's seemingly constantly needing service.
It died when I was picking up my sick cat from the vet, and I live in the Midwest so it's cold here now... It was sitting at tesla for two weeks before they even looked at it, and I know this due to when I could see the 'last seen' in the app update.
Tesla hasn't given me a loaner or paid for my ubers. The towing is also really expensive
Do I have a lemon or are these common expenses? I don't want to shell out another $2,000 if another thing is just going to break in the next couple of months
I haven't even had this car for a year yet.
Help! What should I expect/do???! I'm really stressed out because my cat just got diagnosed with fatal jaw cancer today so please be nice. I know I was really dumb and purchased it from a 3rd party and out of state but I really thought low miles meant newish parts
