Tesla Model 3

""The 12V Battery went out on April 12th, the car basically just stopped turning on and nothing was working with it for about 12 hours, then out of nowhere it turned back on and notified us afterwards that it needed to be replaced. We got it replaced on April 16th.""

""Keyless entry with my phone sometimes doesn't work. I always carry the backup card, which usually works. There was one time I was locked out for a while before I figured out a way to get it open.""

"While I was driving I received an alert that the speed of the car was being limited, so I brought the car into the dealership and was told the cooling system for the battery needed repair and that it wasn't safe to drive. The dealership took four days to repair the car."

"Battery would not charge. Tesla replaced battery with new battery under warranty. Range increased after replacement."

"Not fully engaged.Tesla said ship it to Oahu to get it looked at.Never buy a car with no repair shop in your area!"

"I get am erroressage saying that the internal GFI has tripped"

""The power train went into 'limp mode' or similar state,limiting top speed to 58 mph. That happened on a long interstate road trip, so was quite inconvenient. The error cleared twice upon restarting the car and did not return. There are months-long wait times to get Teslas serviced in our area (Jacksonville, FL) so we spent a couple days in Savannah, GA in the course of getting it diagnosed. While we enjoyed our time in Savannah, and Tesla loaned us a replacement vehicle, the service center was NOT able to duplicate and thus repair the issue, even though it was visible in the car's service event history. Same or similar message has appeared twice since, though not again accompanied by limp mode. Tesla has amazing technology, but it is often error-prone and annoyingly quirky to drive. Contrast that with our three 2017 CHEVROLET Bolt EVs...they just work, day in and day out.""

""Many paint chips on the hood and elsewhere within a year of purchase. Not covered under warranty. Then, a few months after my 4-year warranty expired, paint started peeling off of both rocker panels. Tesla refuses to cover. I read of the same issues in a class action lawsuit in Canada.""

""The climate control fan stopped working, probably due to a motor failure. I had to pay for its replacement because the warranty had run out. During the fitment of the new motor, they screwed up, and it started making loud noises. They fixed this for free under an already paid-for replacement, but the hassle of going through the service and waiting for it to be fixed again was a hassle they could have avoided if they had fixed it properly the first time. In general, all services have been good in the past before 2024, but I feel quality and attentiveness are dropping off lately in 2024 onwards.""

""There is a persistent rear rattle that is difficult to isolate. Since my bumper-to-bumper warranty has expired, I'm going to try to hunt it down and see if I can solve it myself.""
