Yellow Screen border, poor quality & workmanship, and poor customer service -- Arbitration

[docbrown]

Yellow border gone, no fee. Friendly staff, pleasant experience. No drama.

I assume you're talking about the main screen. Does anyone know if Tesla has a setup now to treat the instrument cluster screen?

And EVERY SINGLE EV AUDI AND PORSCHE SOLD GIVES THEM MORE CREDITS TO SELL that many more GHG-DUMPING ICE AUDI AND PORSCHE cars and SUV's.

Yeah, that's smart . . . not.

In that case Tesla themselves don’t care about the environment since they sell credits to ice manufacturers who are then able to produce and sell gas guzzlers.

Goodness, so much vitriol on the internet this morning.

I'd much prefer to punish manufacturers of ICE vehicles by having them pay an EV competitor (Tesla) to grow even faster, building more factories, expand their product line up, etc.

What would you Tesla do? Close up shop and put all their employees up in yurts?

Please.

That’s a good question and I really think we should discuss it further. Over some steak at Harris ranch, I’m free anytime bud.

Always impressive to see just how erudite and intelligent some posters on the TMC Forums can be . . . when faced with uncomfortable facts that challenge their worldview, some here reflect the truth in the oft-heard statement, "Some people never actually graduate from high school."

Recommend you become better aware of the facts; just because you don't like them, or cannot accept them, does not make them any less true:

COWSPIRACY: The Sustainability Secret

Animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation.


"Livestock's Long Shadow: environmental issues and options". Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Rome 2006

Transportation exhaust is responsible for 13% of all greenhouse gas emissions. [.i]


Greenhouse gas emissions from this sector primarily involve fossil fuels burned for road, rail, air, and marine transportation.

"Livestock's Long Shadow: environmental issues and options". Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Rome 2006

Environmental Protection Agency. "Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data".

Livestock and their byproducts account for at least 32,000 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year, or 51% of all worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.

Yes, there is a similar fix for IC.

All this over a dinner invite?

you know you could have just said no.

Can I invite myself to this shindig. I would drive from Brooklyn to California in my Ram 1500 with the big hemi motor. I'll bring brick oven bread, from the local awesome bakery, and some Canolis from Alba Pastries.

I think for any prospective Tesla shopper, coming here first to at least get some idea of what "may" happen or be encountered is more helpful, because reading the OP's comment a lot of what Tesla stated is true i.e "...he yellow screen could be "healed" at some future date, "free of charge for the first attempt, through a "goodwill" something or other. They even admitted, after it was leaked, that the yellow screen was due to a defective glue curing process they used during manufacturing"

True, they have a machine and from all indications it does work to fix the yellowing issue, the problem is it seems there are only a limited amount available and the waiting list is long.

People that are shopping for an $80-100k vehicle probably came from Benz, BMW, Lexus, Audi or Porsche and overall their customer service at least appears superior, not to mention you can always get a voice on the phone. This is why you see a lot of posts like this, because the expectation for the money should be similar, when in reality it seems you are more so paying for the tech and ' Tesla experience'.

I have called a number of times and have spoken with support in California when I had some questions regarding regen. I personnally found them very nice. I believe that I have called 3 times and each time I can honestly state that I was please with the response. I had a small issue at delivery with no only did they fix, but they gave me a key fob for my inconvenience. I cannot speak for others, this is just my experience.
