OK, I do not complain much about Tesla but now they are 0 for 2 in customer service with me...grrrr!
The first time was several months ago when they replaced my front bumper and headlight and AFTER they did the work, noticed the bumper did not align with the front of the fender and DID NOTHING to correct it (still living with it).
Today, I got my first flat in 30 years! A screw was embedded in the front tire and I contacted Tesla Roadside Assistance through the app...WHAT A JOKE!
I selected "flat tire" in the app, provided the details, address, etc. I got a text telling me they have received my request. I then got another telling me they were reviewing my request, followed by another telling me the reply was coming from Ashlee and their mobile tire team could come and provide a spare, BUT only if I allow them to take my tire to a Tesla Service Center (Carlsbad, CA). If I was interested, please provide which tire, type and size via text. I asked how much the tire repair was going to cost, via text...only to be followed with the following response, "I have not yet received a response. Do you need further assistance?" I responded with a text, "YES". Another with "Please provide me with pricing" and another with the tire/wheel details. I then got a text informing me "We are closing the request due to no response via text and we were unable to reach you via Phone". Tesla has my phone number on file and through the app (obviously or they couldn't text me) and NOBODY ever CALLED me (as indicated in the BS text).
So, WTF?!!! Then the last text gets followed by 5 texts saying "Your concern is closed...etc." FIVE identical texts!
I then call Tesla RA and they tell me that it would cost me $78 + tax to repair the tire. I said, if you can provide me a spare, I can get it fixed on my own and return the spare. I was told they do not do that anymore because people do not return the spare wheel/tire. I find that difficult to believe as Tesla has my credit card on file (for supercharging) and if I didn't return the spare, then just charge me up the wazoo!
Tesla RA ended up towing my car to Discount Tire, where I had to wait 3 hours...they fixed the flat for free AND rotated my tires. Telsa service has gone to hell since I leased my Model S P90D in 2016. I love their cars...HATE their service!
They need to take a page out of the Apple book....beautiful products, great to use...and the customer service is AMAZING!...then the Tesla fan base would be unstoppable, but I will be a negative naysayer until they get their service act together.
