2017 TESLA MODEL X Complaints

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/61279099/PHOTOS IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH, NO DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK AND NO AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED. THE REASON THAT IT IS AN INSURANCE WRITE OFF IS THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED FORCING THE WHEELS UP INTO THE ARCHES AND DAMAGING THE WEEL WELL LINERS. THE LUDICROUS THING IS THAT TESLAS DO NOT HAVE ANY LIMIT STOPS ON THE AIR SUSPENSION. A SIMPLE AIR LEAK CAN CAUSE THIS FAILURE WHICH IN MANY CASES IT THEN RESULTS IN THE WHEEL JAMMING UP AND WRENCHING OFF THE SUSPENSION TWIGLETS. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? HOW MANY MORE DEATHS DO YOU NEED? ARE YOU GUYS JUST SCARED OF ELON MUSK? I'M NOT. YOURS IN DISGUST KEEF

HERE IS A MANGLED MODEL X IN THE AUCTION YARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS?ITEMID=34406683&ROWNUMBER=25&SIMILARVEHICLEITEMID=&ISNEXT=&LOADRECENT=TRUE IT MIGHT POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN JUST AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT....BUT, THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL. LOOK CLOSELY AT THE RIGHT HAND BACK WHEEL. THE TREAD IS COMPLETELY WORN AWAY. THE TIRE IS PEELED OFF THE WHEEL. SOMETHING HAS SPEARED INTO THE TIRE AND WHEEL AND PEELED THEM BACK OVER A QUARTER OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE. THIS CERTAINLY HAS THE APPEARANCE OF YET ANOTHER FAILED SUSPENSION THAT HAS CAUSED A SELF-INFLICTED INJURY TO THE TESLA. I AM FINDING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FORMAL INQUIRY INTO THESE ALARMINGLY COMMON TESLA SUSPENSION FAILURES. PLEASE TAKE ACTION. THANK YOU. KEEF

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/56259179/PHOTOS IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH, NO AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. THE ONLY SLIGHT PROBLEM IS THAT THE BACK WHEEL HAS GONE TOTALLY WHOMPY. WHY NO RECALL? ANY OTHER MAKE OF CAR THAT HAD EVEN A SMALL NUMBER OF SUCH SUSPENSION BREAKAGES WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG AGO. PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. THANK YOU. KEEF

MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/57745099/PHOTOS BACK SUSPENSION FALLEN TO BITS. WHEEL AND TIRE HARDLY DAMAGED AT ALL. WHEN'S THE RECALL?

WE HAVE 2 MODEL X VEHICLES. THE 2017 X100D DEVELOPED SERIOUS BUMPING AND GRINDING ISSUES IN ITS LEFT FRONT STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY DURING SLOW TURNS. IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS ZERO INDICATION OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE FROM OUTSIDE FORCES. THERE WAS A LESS-THAN-PIN SIZED PUNCTURE TO THE RUBBER BOOT, VISIBLE ONLY BY SEVERELY STRETCHING THE RUBBER APART, AND THE LUBRICATING OIL WAS GONE. TESLA SERVICE CLAIMED THE PINHOLE SIZED DAMAGE TO THE STEERING RACK'S RUBBER BOOT WAS CAUSED BY OUTSIDE FORCES. I WAS CHARGED $1,600.00. GIVEN TESLA'S MODEL S RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUES, I RETAINED THE MALFUNCTIONING STEERING RACK AND HAD IT INSPECTED BY 2 INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOPS: WHEELWORKS AND AAMCO. IN BOTH CASES, WITHOUT REMOVING THE BOOT, THE OPINION OF BOTH AUTO REPAIR SHOPS WAS THAT THE PIN HOLE DAMAGE TO THE BOOT COULD DEFINITELY NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY EXTERNAL FORCES. THE DAMAGE COULD ONLY HAVE RESULTED FROM INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE STEERING COLUMN JOINT SPINNING OUT A SHARD OF STEEL, AND SUBSEQUENT EXTREMELY SLOW DRAINAGE OF THE LUBRICATING OIL. THIS TESLA HAD ITS 2 YEAR SERVICE PERFORMED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. TWO DAYS AFTER THIS STEERING ASSEMBLY REPAIR ISSUE, THE TESLA WAS AGAIN BACK IN THE REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE OF A LOUD CREAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT END. TESLA MECHANICS ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A CREAKING SEAT, AND THEN THOUGHT IT WAS A CREAKING SUSPENSION. IT WAS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE RIGHT FRONT UPPER BALL JOINT. THERE WAS NO LUBRICATING OIL IN THE PROTECTIVE BOOT, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE BOOT. THE BALL JOINT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS BALL JOINT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, YET TESLA PERSISTS IN REFUSING TO REIMBURSE FOR THE $1,600.00 STEERING ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT NECESSITATED BY THE SAME ABSENCE OF LUBRICATING OIL, SIMILAR AGAIN TO THE MODEL S RECALL.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA BATTERIES WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF AN NHTSA INVESTIGATION. I DO NOT HAVE INFORMATION ON THE ACTUAL VIN OF THE CAR IN QUESTION SO I HAVE HAD TO SUBSTITUTE THE VIN FROM ONE OF THE MANY TESLAS IN A JUNKYARD. HERE IS A REPORT FROM A TESLA OWNER IN AUSTRALIA WHO IS GETTING EVEN WORSE SERVICE THAN IS NORMAL FOR TESLA. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/WARRANTY-DOES-ANYONE-HAVE-THEIR-WARRANTY-TERMS-FROM-2017.172151/ *** SNIP*** WARRANTY - DOES ANYONE HAVE THEIR WARRANTY TERMS FROM 2017 DISCUSSION IN 'AUSTRALIA' STARTED BY CSL2C3000, TODAY AT 6:36 PM. LOCATION: MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA CSL2C3000, TODAY AT 6:36 PM HI, I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WHICH RELATES TO LOW VOLTAGE AND SO I'VE SPOKEN TO TESLA WHO'VE SAID THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW BATTERY PACK AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THEY LOOKED AT REMOTE LOGS AND CONCLUDED THIS WITHOUT AN INSPECTION. THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT IS $50K INC AND THERE APPEARS TO BE NO POTENTIAL FOR A SINGLE BATTERY BANK TO BE AT FAULT (BASED UPON WHAT THEY'VE SAID). THEY'VE QUOTED THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE WARRANTY TO ME BUT MY LEGAL GUYS SAY THAT THE TERMS THAT APPLY ARE THOSE THAT APPLIED WHEN THE CAR WAS SOLD, NOT THE CURRENT TERMS. THEY'VE ASKED ME TO TRY TO TRACK DOWN THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THE CAR IS A CP 04/17, BUILT 07/17, TESLA, MODEL X, 75D. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS A WARRANTY FROM 2017? SPECIFICALLY THE CLAUSE RELATED TO BATTERY PACK WARRANTY. THANKING YOU ****** I BELIEVE THAT YOUR INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER TESLAS THAT HAVE BEEN SOLD OUTSIDE OF USA. THESE BATTERY FAILURES AND POTENTIAL FIRE RISKS APPLY TO ALL TESLAS SOLD ACROSS THE WORLD. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. CONCERNED CITIZEN ETC.

THE VEHICLE UNUSUALLY ACCELERATES WHEN IT IS FULLY CHARGED. ALSO, TESLA COMMITTED TO UNLIMITED SUPERCHARGING FOR LIFE REGARDLESS OF ANY OWNERSHIP TRANSFER BUT NOW REFUSING TO ADHERE TO THEIR COMMITMENT.

ELON MUSK IS STILL CLAIMING THAT THIS IS THE SAFEST CAR IN THE WORLD! HOW MUCH LONGER WILL YOU ALLOW THIS SITUATION TO CONTINUE? IS THIS WHAT TESLA MEANS BY INSANE AND LUDICROUS??

BATTERY RANGE HAS SIGNIFICANTLY AND SUDDENLY DROPPED. WHILE TESLA HAS STATED THIS IS 'NORMAL BATTERY DEGRADATION,' IT APPEARS THROUGH RESEARCH THIS MAY BE SOFTWARE LIMITED, DUE TO RECENT BATTERY FIRES WHICH ARE LIFE THREATENING. INSTEAD OF ADMITTING THE SAFETY ISSUE, RECALLING THE BATTERY, AND ENSURING A SAFER BATTERY IS INSTALLED, TESLA IS UPDATING SOFTWARE OPAQUELY. THIS IS FOR A MODEL X 75D WITH A 75 KWH BATTERY, AND SEEMS TO HAVE BEGUN WITH FIRMWARE 2019.32 ONWARD.
