While driving, my back wheel fell off. I had the car in for suspension work twice in q4 2023, and then on March 7, 2024 my back wheel fell off. When speaking with Tesla, they said that this sometimes happens and they have seen this issue before. The also told me that they think it only happens at low speeds, but I have found articles where people were on the highway and their wheel fell off. China has made Tesla do a recall for suspension and wheel issues, why haven't we? I now have had my vehicles suspension worked on at least 4 times, this is dangerous and scary.
The tpms system has failed and has been a known issue with telsa since 2014. The system will not reset and telsa has said it has to be upgraded for 1000. The warning light comes on randomly and goes away after the car drives for a while or gets parked.
The instrument control screen is failing as the glass is separating from the glass and unable to view icons on the panel. Telsa is not going to replace unless 1500 is paid for replacement with updated screen that does not separate from the glass. Some people are reporting it as bubbling or impression of water marks behind the glass but it is the glue failing. This is a known issue. For the wheel issue, the tpms system is failing and telsa will not replace unless 1k is paid to "upgrade" the system.
Because the computer in the Tesla Model S from 2014 was broken, the car was very low in suspension. Tesla knew about it in may 2020, but did not offer a repair even if I paid $2,500. Eventually the frame of the car touched the rear passenger side and the tire exploded and the wheel was so low that is bent the frame and big pieces of the frame of the car as the base of the car was touching the street. The car was deemed a total and my compensation from aaa did not even allow me to buy a used Model S. The car at the time was in motion on the 380 freeway and I had to drive several yards to get to safety running on the frame of the wheel with the base of the case touching the road.
