2019 TESLA MODEL 3 Complaints

I WAS PARKING IN MY DRIVE WAY. I THOUGHT I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK . MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. SO I OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF BRAKE THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD.THE DOOR WAS OPENED AND I HAD BOTH FEET OUTSIDE THE DOOR. I TRIED TO PUSH THE PARK BUTTON . THE CAR WENT INTO REVERSE. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER DOOR TO IMPACT THE BUILDING AND DAMADGE THE DOOR.

THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY THE NEW CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH HAD DAMAGE TO THE 4 JACK POINTS THAT REQUIRED THE BATTERY PACK TO BE REPLACED. THE ORIGINAL BATTERY WOULD CHARGE TO THE FULL RANGE PURCHASED, HOWEVER, THE NEW BATTERY THAT WAS INSTALLED WILL NOT CHARGE TO THE FULL AMOUNT OF RANGE PURCHASED. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO SERVICE BEFORE I PICKED UP THE CAR FROM SERVICE. THEY TRIED TO GET IT TO FULLY CHARGE MULTIPLE TIMES BUT IT WOULD NOT. I ASKED TO SEE THE BATTERY HEALTH REPORT AND THEY DECLINED. IF YOU PURCHASE A NEW CAR WITH X AMOUNT OF RANGE, WHEN THE BATTERY IS CHARGED TO 100%, IT SHOULD DISPLAY THE RANGE YOU PAID FOR. THEY TOLD ME IF I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THE RANGE, I WAS FREE TO FILE AN ARBITRATION CLAIM. ON THE WAY HOME I ALMOST RAN OUT OF BATTERY AND COULD HAVE REALLY USED THE EXTRA CAPACITY THAT I PURCHASED.

THE BACK UP CAMERA VIDEO FEED HAS PURPLE AND GREEN VERTICAL LINES THAT GOES THROUGH IT INTERMITTENTLY LIKE THERE IS A SHORT. THE ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO SERVICE VIA EMAIL WITH A PICTURE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT A FUTURE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I WAS THEN TOLD VIA TXT THAT THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THEY COULD ONLY PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED AT MY EXPENSE. HAVING A FAULTY BACKUP CAMERA FEED IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO USE IT TO BACK UP. THEY SHOULD TAKE THESE REPORTS SERIOUSLY AND NOT DISMISS THEM.

THE ONLY DISPLAY IN THE CAR LOCKED UP, TURNED OFF, AND TURNED BACK ON APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE LATER WHILE I WAS BACKING UP WHICH CAUSED LOSS OF ALL READOUT INCLUDING THE BACK UP CAMERA, MPH, ACCESS TO MANY OTHER VEHICLE FEATURES. I REPORTED THIS TO THEIR SERVICE GROUP WITH A DATE/TIME STAMP FOR THEM TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT THIS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY COULD PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE NEW CAR'S WARRANTY. THE ONE AND ONLY DISPLAY SHOULD NEVER LOCK UP WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING BUT IF IT DOES, SERVICE SHOULD TAKE ALL REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING VERY SERIOUSLY.

I TURNED INTO A PERPENDICULAR PARKING SPACE IN A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT. I LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR AS THE CAR INCHED CLOSER TO THE CURB. AS I BEGAN TO PRESS THE BRAKE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB, CROSSED THE GRASS MEDIAN AND COME TO REST ON THE HOOD OF ANOTHER CAR. I KNOW MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AT THE TIME AND CONTEND THAT THE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION.

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL 3 IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS?ITEMID=33838953&ROWNUMBER=80&SIMILARVEHICLEITEMID=&ISNEXT=&LOADRECENT=TRUE BOTH FRONT WHEELS AND SUSPENSIONS HAVE COMPLETELY FALLEN OFF. ALL OF THE BALL JOINTS AND SUSPENSION GIBLETS HAVE SNAPPED. WHAT THE BLEEP? PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THIS IS JUST INSANE AND LUDICROUS. THANK YOU. PERSISTENT CITIZEN.

MY WIFE WAS TRYING TO PARK THE CAR IN OUR GARAGE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SPED UP AND HIT OUR INNER GARAGE WALL. IT THEN REVERSED BACK AND HIT THE WALL A SECOND TIME. THEN IT AUTOMATICALLY REVERSED AND PARKED ON THE NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY. BOTH THE STERLING AIR BAG AND AIRBAG NEAR THE FEET DEPLOYED. THE CAR'S FRONT WAS SMASHED. OUR GARAGE WALL AND DOOR ARE ALSO BADLY DAMAGED. I HAVE ASKED TESLA TO INVESTIGATE IF IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AUTOPILOT TAKING OVER BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM YET AFTER MORE THAN A WEEK.

MY WIFE HAS A TESLA MODEL 3 CAR, PURCHASED EARLIER THIS YEAR AND HAVING ABOUT 8000 MILES ON IT. THE SAFETY BELT BUCKLE IS BROKEN AND CANNOT INSERT THE SAFETY BELT TO THE BUCKLE. MY WIFE SCHEDULED A SERVICE FROM THE APP. THE COMPANY SENT AN INVOICE FOR OVER $100 FOR THE REPAIR. SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE ON THE WARRANTY AND SIGNED THE INVOICE. BUT AFTER THAT, I TOLD HER THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. IT IS NOT ONLY COVERED BY THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS A LONGER WARRANTY. MY WIFE THEN RESCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT, AND CALLED THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED IN THE INVOICE, ALSO CALLED THE TESLA CUSTOMER NUMBER. CALLED EVERY DAY AND LEFT AT LEAST 3 VOICE MESSAGES. HOWEVER, SHE COULD NOT REACH ANY LIVE PERSON TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. MY WIFE RESCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT MULTIPLE TIMES SO THAT SHE COULD MAKE CLEAR ON THE WARRANTY ISSUE. BUT NOW SHE COULD NOT RESCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT ANY MORE, SO SHE HAD TO CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT. IT'S BEEN CLOSE TO THREE WEEKS SINCE THE FIRST CONTACT AND STILL COULD NOT REACH ANY LIVE PERSON TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. I'D LIKE TESLA TO CONTACT HER TO DISCUSS THE WARRANTY ISSUE ON THE SAFETY BELT BUCKLE AND FIX IT FOR FREE.

I JUST BOUGHT THE NEW TESLA MODEL 3 LAST WEEK FOR LONG RUN BATTERY BUT IT'S NOT GIVING ME FULL RANG OF MILES AND DROPPING CRAZY AMOUNT OF BATTERY . THE WAY TESLA IS TELLING THE PEOPLE ABOUT MILEAGE , IT'S NOT WORKING THAT WAY , I HAVE LONG RANG MILEAGE AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO GIVE 310 MILEAGE AFTER FULL CHARGE AND THAT'S ONLY REASON I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE EVERY DAY I'M DRIVING AROUND 200 TO 270 MILEAGE . BUT TRUE IS IT NOT GIVING ME THAT MILEAGE AT ALL AND JUST GIVING ME ONLY 230TO 250 ALL TOGETHER AFTER MY FULL CHARGE WHOLE NIGHT , AND SO I HAVE TO STOP BY SOMEWHERE EVERY DAY TO CHARGE MY CAR TO GO HOME WITH ENOUGH MILEAGE . FOR ME IT'S DOESN'T NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL SINCE YOU ARE BUYING LONG RANGE DISTANCE CAR AND YOU ARE NOT GETTING WHAT YOU ACCEPTING .

REAR WINDSHIELD GETS DISTORTED EVERY TIME THE DEFROST IS TURNED ON. TESLA HAS SEEN AND NOTED THE DEFECT, STATED THIS IS NORMAL ON ALL TESLA MODEL 3 VEHICLES, AND WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT NORMAL AS NO OTHER CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN IN HAS THIS KIND OF DISTORTION WHEN USING THE DEFROST. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE REGISTERED AS A SAFETY RECALL ASAP.
