You guys have probably seen I had an issue with a rear brake caliper that was causing the brakes to rub and make vibrations on the highway. I sent the car in to Tesla in Toronto on the 6th of April.
They've been communicating back and forth with me, said they didn't have the particular brake caliper in stock and would have to order it in. Said they were going to replace both the rears proactively. I received notification yesterday morning that the parts were supposed to arrive that day and that they'd get to it today.
Today, after messaging with Tesla Service through the app, and determining that the car would be done today and planning to drive their Loaner S (which is locked in chill mode) back to them and get my car, I got a phone call from them.
They received the wrong "revision" of brake caliper and need to order 2 more in. The car will be there for another week.
I took delivery of this car on March 30th. Sent it to Tesla on April 6th and am not going to get it back until sometime after the 19th now.
All for a Brake Caliper.
Tesla has officially had the car in service longer than I've had it in my possession. By the time this is resolved, they'll have had it twice as long as I have.
Am I wrong to want some kind of goodwill from Tesla for this? I feel the company needs to compensate for this extra time that I don't get to enjoy my new purchase. Sure, they sent me a loaner, but it's Boring to drive stuck in Chill mode and just sits in my garage.
What do y'all think? What should I push for?
