I have posted before about how my m3 after 3000 miles is having issues being unable to charge and throwing errors all the time and on occasion refusing to drive. It has been to the service centre twice on a flat bed now. I got the car back yesterday after they replaced the charge port, the 12v battery, the high voltage controller and everything looked good. Car charged fine at home but when I went to drive it it started throwing the same errors about unable to charge (it wasn't connected to the further at this point) and wouldn't drive. The same symptoms as before. In desperation I drove it straight to service centre today. Here is the catch. I have to leave la on Monday to drive across the country to start a new job on the East coast.
Realistically if they can't fix the car by Monday what do I do?
I have already paid for accommodation and arranged meetings etc. Along the way. Changing plans will incur some expenses.
Tesla had been nothing but helpful and accomodating but toys situation is a little desparate now!
Options I see are:
I could drive the car and hope for the best and risk getting stranded 1000 miles from either coast(can I get a tow from la to nyc?!)
I could fly and request Tesla ship the car to east coast (might this be reasonable request?)
I could fit and forgo my $54000 car for 6 months until I return
I could request/demand Tesla give me a loaner for 6 months
I could try California lemon law and demand a new car when I get to east coast.
Who could I contact at Tesla to help me resolve this? Tweet Elon directly?
