Ok so here is an update.
I waited a couple of weeks to write this because, well i'm pissed & disappointed.
According to Tesla:
- Supercharging stops taking 2 hrs or more = Normal. Nothing Wrong
- Charge not completed (stopping at 96-99% when set to 100%) = Normal. Nothing Wrong
They kept the car almost 2 week and did a couple of supercharger test and comparisons. Took them a while because the bearing on the front wheel hubs had to be replaced because they were making noise. Yet another issue on this car. BTW it still not fixed. I still get the noise.
Anyways, They tested charging my car and compared it to several other 85KW models. 1 of the same year and 2 older ones. They all used the same supercharger in Cabazon and they all saw the same behavior. One took over 20 minutes longer to charge than mine, almost 2.5 hrs. Mine completed at 99% and so did at least 1 other. I was told these other cars were part of their loaner & CPO inventory. Charging to 80% SOC took 45-50 minutes on all the cars.
How the **** can I take a trip in this car?
- I cant rely on the car to give me an accurate charge time estimate.
- I cant rely on the trip computer to properly calculate charge times. Almost always have to double
- How can I go across the country when some supercharger stops can take 2 hrs +
- I cant rely on getting a full charge
I've lost confidence in my Model S.
I feel cheated. The passion I once has for Tesla is gone.
We have a Model 3 now, and i cannot enjoy that car either. I'm afraid of what surprises that car is going to have.
Here is a list of issues My 2015 Model S has had in the last 2.5 years:
- Autopilot camera failed (windshield cam)
- Frunk panels warped after 26k miles
- Front bumper cover sagging (happened Multiple times)
- x2 Condenser fan failed
- x3 Door Handles failed
- Loose GPS antenna harness
- Arm Rest cover broke
- Both from seats replaced due to loose fitment (took 3-4 months)
- x2 12 volt batteries (1 battery per year)
- Wont charge to 100% in cold weather
- Slow Supercharging
- Main Battery replaced at 42k miles
- Horn failed
- Wheel wells warped & started rubbing
- Dashboard display failed
- Passenger window grinding and gets stuck
- Front wheel bearings replaced due to tumbling noise. (still not fixed)
I know it's a lot of little issues with only 1 or 2 big issues. But most of these happened before 40k miles.
My last 2 Ford Trucks have had far less issues. My current Ford Truck that I beet up in the desert every weekend has had far less issues.
My model 3, Less than 3 months old has already had more issues than my truck
1. Poorly installed Driver door panel - screws were not installed all the way
2. Improperly torqued windshield wipers - They actually damaged the pain on the Frunk & had to be replaced.
Thanks for all those that helped and provided suggestions. They really helped me understand what is going on with my car. But at the end of the day my car is still not working right, Tesla Refuses to acknowledge there is something wrong, and there is no one else to take it to for a 2nd opinion. I'm done with My Model S and counting the days to get rid of it. We still have the Model 3, so I'm not done with Tesla, but if they treat the Model 3 like they did my S, The company is headed for a rude awakening with a less educated public now buying EV's.
