Really surprised at how poor Tesla's service is. I finally got my refreshed Model S LR in Dec 2021 (after having a reservation pre-announcement in Jan 2021). Literally 1 month later - car heater stops working (right in the middle of winter in Pittsburgh).
Car has now been at the Service Center for nearly 3 weeks (about 11-12 days shy of meeting Pennsylvania's Lemon Law criteria). The only times Tesla has provided an update is when I reached out to ask them after not hearing for a week or more. Both times "we're waiting on a part, no ETA." Oh - and of course they have no loaners so I got sent off to Enterprise for a small Hyundai.
Really surprised if this is the best Tesla has to offer. I've had significantly better experiences with even non-luxury car manufacturers. This by far takes the cake for worst service. Curious if other owners have been in similar situations and ended up with a reasonable outcome/had any luck escalating? (Is it even possible to escalate these issues?)
I guess shame on me for not taking the Tesla customer service complaints more seriously. I should have known given how they handled the refreshed Model S ordering last year with no updates to reservation holders for months on end.
