Tesla took my car in for service again, fixed nothing again. This time they messed up my dashcam even though it is clearly marked with bright red notice stickers on both sides of the car that consent for audio and video recording is given by entering vehicle that is owned by me (not a lease). Car wouldn't charge yesterday, then I do the newest software update and when I get 3 miles down the street from my house I yield for an ems emt with siren and lights on in the middle of the day with perfect visibility and big surprise the car doesn't even register that I've not only left the lanes without lane keeping assistance but it also doesnt see the emergency vehicle so I have disabled fsd and am refusing to use ap because this is a death trap. When I complained to the fbi about it they tried to have the local pd basically swat my house at 4am and wake up my whole family. My wife and I are both fbi witnesses. I also received a letter from the irs claiming they changed my taxes from 2020 (filed by my accountant) claiming that I owe $132,021 (on less than $800 in gains) by next month or they will charge me $20,000 a month interest. Today I received a notice from my insurance company of 1 year claiming they are canceling my coverage because I "drive uber black" which isn't true I never have because the orlando pd wouldn't approve me to because the insurance agent lied about the coverage because ana (moore resources insurance) and Mercury insurance; was too drunk on new years day and has caused me to lose $30,000+ in lost revenue because she ruined my 4 month wait for uber black approval which has completely destroyed my financial ability to provide for my family. I received a call from a dot agent a couple weeks ago from washington DC but the call was dropped so he called me back on a cell and we haven't been able to contact each other since. I am really in fear for my life. I am an fbi whistleblower and potus is retaliating against me and anyone who helps us. Sos send help!.

Made it less than a mile from my house this time when the Tesla couldn't see the fhp (florida highway patrol) with lights on and perfect visibility. The car was updated yesterday but it has never actually worked as advertised and the more I complain the more everywhere I go gets hacked. My wife red cross servers, hacked. My medical files, hacked. The pizza shop I was driving to, hacked, my grill, hacked, my alarm system, hacked. The lawn equipment store, hacked. My iphone, hacked. My Tesla, hacked. My insurance, hacked. My uber, hacked. My lyft, hacked. I am currently obtaining my security+ cybersecurity certification so I can keep my family alive. I am failing and being smothered! Tesla refuses to cooperate despite my countless attempts to be civil, involve the fbi, local sheriff, local pd, irs, cisa, my state attorney ashley moody and governor ron desantis and even the airforce with . Mil emails are having trouble contacting me/my family. I am a high profile witness that demands witness protection. I am a witness against peter theil, hunter biden, jeffrey epstein, jeffrey bezos, bill edwards, peter savage, elon musk, raymond jones, mark zuckerberg, twitter, instagram, facebook, local pd and sheriff offices, the doj, the fbi, the usda, uber, lyft and of course Tesla and many more. They want me and my family dead! they will stop at nothing! impeach impeach impeach! huge coverup! witness intimidation! violation of head of state! racketeering! I am not suicidal! I pose no harm to anyone! I applied to gs13 ts clearance under spaceforce dod was interviewed and told I was one of the final selections and ever since biden took office I have been in a hunger games type survival nightmare where I am continually hacked, poisoned, banned and left for dead. Not even your own dot agent has called me back in weeks. If you are being targeted like me then contact the cia and sokolove law for Tesla class action false advertising. All evidence on ig @aquaponics_guy fear for my lifesos.

Tesla refused my lemon law surrender and claims there's nothing wrong with the car once again, big surprise! they messed up my dashcam during fake service regardless of legally consenting to being video and audio recorded (very clear notice stickers on the doors) when entering the vehicle which I own; it is not leased. Consent is important, without consent things become crimes. Like if a flight attendant says no to sex with her boss elon you cant just rape her and then offer her a horse after and get away with it. Anyways the automatic indicators that elon suggested everyone try on twitter the other night doesn't actually work for automatically turning on or off with or without ap and fsd. I decided to turn off my fsd that I paid $12,000 because its a death trap. Here's a video since Tesla says I'm imagining it and I must be schizophrenic or something but this is exactly why I record everything and trust nobody. The link probably doesn't work because the government is trying to silence me in this huge coverup. . Read more...

Hello it's me for the 500th time. I was sitting at a light when a new song came on that's actually a movie clip from pulp fiction directed by quentin tarantino about hitmen that kill people that speak out, like whistleblowers; for their boss. So I'm sitting at the light and the cars behind me are all glitching between 3 lanes but nobody is moving and my volume is up and it starts 'yelling' "storing dead niggers aint my fucking business!". This was soon after almost being ran off the road by a white Cadillac escalade that I called in and reported to the local pd. I was rear ended by a white Cadillac escalade in 2019, I almost died and received death threats while leaving a competitors business. And I'm permanently partially handicapped at 31 years old. About 1 mile down the road my car started encountering 'ghost cars' that show up on the gui of the screen but aren't actually there in real life lol. Just so I'm clear the car is basically threatening me after Tesla says there's nothing wrong with it so I disabled my $12,000 fsd and will be keeping this car in the garage from now on. Here's the link to my shadow banned instagram that holds all the videos of this car trying to kill me because the government wants to cover it up. The fbi actually tried to swat me in the middle of the night for the second time in 3 years 2 nights ago but luckily the sargent was cool and a desert storm veteran so he knows what's up. .

Hello, me again. Been having alot of trouble with voice text when trying to respond to my wife at the stop light. I started telling her about how a white Cadillac escalade almost crashed into me and all the safety features 'randomly' disabled themselves while driving and I'm late because I tried to keep eyes on the car while the local pd dispatched and had to drive further than I intended but I eventually gave up after he got so far ahead after weaving thru traffic like he's playing grand theft auto. So the voice text has been doing this really 'cool' feature where I say some stuff that's incriminating about Tesla or the fbi and then it just doesn't type it at all or says some stuff I never actually said that usually sounds incriminating like this one time I tried to voice text my wife that some guy tried to crash into me and then sped away at 100mph plus and later I caught up to him because he crashed at a toll in the rain; the car said I was racing a guy and I crashed! then my wife got all freaked out and called me and I explained that I'm totally fine and wasn't racing him he raced past me. This car is scary as hell, it should have its own horror movie. Oh yea I just got a letter from the irs for the third time saying they changed my 2020 tax returns and I owe $138,021 in back taxes by next month or I'll get $20,000 a month in late fees but I only made $729 that year and already paid my taxes thru my accountant. Fbi tried to raid my house 2 nights ago again using localpd. All after Tesla refused my lemon law surrender and they claimed nothing is wrong with my car and tampered with my evidence camera despite them consenting to being recorded by entering my vehicle. Car is living in the garage now until dot agent finishes setting up our meeting because I really don't want to die that would suck. Here's a link to my shadow banned instagram that has hundreds of videos of my car trying to kill me. . Read more...

Why I am submitting this complaint: I am writing to you upon the advice of the CA attorney general's office. Their guidance was in response to a question I submitted on their web about safe and legal towing with the Model Y factory-installed towing package. Problem: risk of silent brake controller failure. Vehicles impacted Model Y's with the lithium ion low voltage battery & towing trailers 1500 lbs or more. Technical issues: the lithium ion low-voltage battery operates at 15. 5v, out of the normal 12v operating range. The wiring harness sends 15. 5 v to the brake controller. Brake controllers connected to the Model Y towing harness do not throw an error. High voltage through a 12 v brake controller may result in unexpected brake controller failure per controller manufacturer's support teams. Tesla disconnected the 12v aux power to the 7-pin towing connector. This power is used for rf trailer brake controllers. Rf brake controllers don't get the required power. Rf brake controllers will throw an error & the driver knows the brake system isn't connected correctly. Why do I know this? I bought the Model Y to tow my 2,000 lb teardrop trailer w/ a prodigy/tekonsha rf brake controller. When I attempted to connect & verify the rig was in spec, I discovered there was no power to the 7-pin plug. While troubleshooting, I found a twitter post that described the problem, said Tesla disconnected the power & there would be a retrofit in mid-2022. See attached. Attempted resolution I've worked with Tesla rocklin CA for a year. They submitted cases, escalated, and even unsuccessfully tried to connect a 24v controller. A fix isn't hard. I've heard corp. Didn't expect people to tow. Communication: to my knowledge, there's been no communication to affected owners or to brake controller manufacturers. No fix planned Tesla corp. Doesn't intend to fix it or communicate to owners. See attached. Action needed people towing may be at risk of silent brake controller failure.

Leaving mothers day dinner at disney orlando with all 3 generations of family in the car and I click 'home' and the map sets a charging station in miami 120miles away in the wrong direction, the fsd and ap wont work and the cars gps goes completely black. That doesn't even make sense, there was the hooter's supercharger down the street and several others in miami and probably a dozen more between disney and miami. If I wasn't a professional driver I fear this many bugs and susceptibilities could kill my entire lineage. Texting and driving is illegal and dangerous, that's got nothing on a malfunctioning Tesla screen while driving main street disney. Look out king charles there's a new kid on the block, elon musk doesn't need a tunnel to disappear your whole family. He can do it in broad daylight on mainstreet disney in front of the police, god and the NHTSA and after you report it 30 times nobody will do anything about it. . Read more...

Less than 2 minutes into my drive the car decided to disable lane keep assistance and warnings for no reason. As you can see in the photo linked below the vehicles in the oncoming lane are lagging and look kind of like a ghost car while the rest of the screen is totally fine. Well all I did was switch from the middle lane to the left lane like I do everyday with my indicator on, on my way to mcdonalds. Absolutely no reason why this happened like I mentioned I had my indicator on nobody was around me and visibility is perfect. . Read more...

44 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2023

Component or system failure: the internal malfunction of the rear drive unit in my 2022 Tesla Model Y, which has been documented and addressed on two separate occasions by the Tesla service center, has raised significant safety concerns. This component is critical for the vehicle's operation, and its failure mode necessitates thorough inspection and a definitive resolution to prevent recurrence. Safety risks: the sudden loss of power on a busy highway, without any warning, significantly compromised my safety and the safety of others around me. Being forced to restart the vehicle under such conditions was not only distressing but also exposed everyone involved to a heightened risk of accidents. This incident has profoundly impacted my confidence in the vehicle's reliability and safety. Problem reproduction and confirmation: the malfunction was initially confirmed and addressed by a Tesla dealership, which underscores the seriousness of the issue. However, the recurrence of the problem, even after professional intervention, and the subsequent attempt to rectify the issue without a clear diagnosis, adds to the uncertainty and concern regarding the vehicle's safety and the effectiveness of the repairs conducted. Inspections: the direct involvement of Tesla's service center in inspecting and attempting to repair the vehicle indicates that the manufacturer is aware of and is taking steps to address the issue. Nevertheless, the absence of a definitive resolution or clear understanding of the malfunction's cause continues to be a source of worry. Warning signs prior to failure: the complete absence of any warning signs before such a critical failure is particularly alarming. This lack of forewarning deprived me of the opportunity to take preventive action, further exacerbating the fear and potential danger associated with the malfunction.

The usb charging plug inside the middle console burned my charger causing smoke inside the cabin. Tesla has rescheduled the appt once already and doesn't seem to be a concern to them. This is a huge safety concern as it could have caused a fire if items were near this usb plug.

Failure Date: 05/03/2023

Once again I caught on video my car trying to suicide me (a jeffrey epstein (not a typo I'm in fear for my life) witness) by turning off all safety features and attempting to drive me directly into oncoming traffic. Tesla has refused to repair or replace my car. They have done everything they can to prevent me from getting service for months. Reschedule after reschedule, 'we cant reproduce the problem' and 'the car is fixed' after recording them doing nothing on hidden camera for 3 days besides unplugging my dashcam after I told them on my ig that I was recording them and they agreed because its clearly posted on the door used to enter and unplug the camera. This is racketeering, tampering with a witness and attempted murder not to mention conspiracy to defraud the us government with false advertisements to convince blind and corrupt politicians to give elon another round of government subsidies even though co2 isn't the problem, methane is! as you can see in the video the cars path is stuck in the ":kill yourself with oncoming traffic" mode. Its a feature that is activated on my Tesla way more than I have video evidence like this to prove it. . Read more...

After the car couldn't drive me into oncoming traffic and put me out of my misery; I reset the car and then all the safety features were disabled again, the car couldn't see the solid white freshly painted lanes during the middle of the day with perfect visibility. As I approached the red light I demonstrated how the Tesla has no collision warning or assistance enabled although they are features advertised on the car that I paid for. Once again not a coincidence. Tesla has refused or is incapable of repairing this frankenstein's monster covid Tesla it needs to be totaled under lemon law. All the windows are from different countries ffs. Also the doors are sagging and scratching the base of the car but Tesla is also completely blind on that one too, go figure! they've also illegally tracked me home and to the grocery store but that's just what I can prove, I'm sure they've broken more privacy laws than just that. From a simple google search you can discover how Tesla employees use the car footage to spy on you in your own home and pass around nude photos of you on internal company email and messenger apps. .

Failure Date: 04/27/2023

Since the day I got it the Tesla hasn't been able to identify emergency vehicles with their lights on. I started video taping after like the 20th time because my dashcam cant show you the screen also. I did this strictly to display that the Tesla failed to identify a state trooper with his lights on for several hundred feet with 'full self driving' enabled. Just to be clear the car is on the current software update and has always been up to date. Tesla is once again lying about the cars capabilities and putting innocent police officers and random civilians at risk of serious bodily injury or death. . Read more...

Since I received this awful vehicle it has never properly identified emergency vehicles. Sometimes it confuses neon/led signs with emergency lights and smashes on the brake for emergency vehicles that aren't there. Other times it slams on the brakes on the highway when behind an emergency vehicle and the reflective tape is lit up from my own headlights bouncing on the awfully hard and cheap suspension on this 'performance' vehicle. Lately I've captured video of the car completely failing to see a fire truck right in front of it for at least 1 minute straight with the lights and sirens on. This is unacceptable. Tesla not only wants me and my family dead, they don't care about the lives of our brave firefighters, emts and police officers. Then don't care about you either. . Read more...

I pay $9. 99/month for 'premium connectivity' which is an acronym for "none of the features you paid for actually work unless you also pay us $9. 99/month for spotify wrapped as Tesla radio that doesn't work half the days you drive it". How can you sell me a car with all these safety features, charge me to have access to them and then not give me service? I paid for features Tesla isn't capable of delivering on. False advertising on steroid, Tesla should be ashamed. . Read more...

Failure Date: 04/19/2023

Almost everyday I have to restart the car while I'm driving because the car starts playing songs that are mean, discriminatory, or out right telling me to "kill yourself on the beach" and "you can't sit here". While I'm driving I'm forced to restart the car to regain control of my instrument cluster which when resetting while driving you basically lose all features of the car minus steering gas and brake. The sentry mode isn't recording, the indicators aren't working, there is no speedometer or navigation, all safety features are disabled. It's the perfect time to commit a crime, no evidence except my iphone dashcam and anyone else around. I have to sometime do this with children in the car because the radio keeps cursing and I can't change the song. This car is a haunted death trap and I have entered pre-arbitration with Tesla but they have not responded. I have a lawfirm on standby that has offices in FL, CA and TX. They want my 10,000 gigabytes of evidence bad unlike NHTSA. That's because they are fascists and trying to cover this up. He also bought twitter as part of this coverup. I talked about it in my podcast about 3 years ago that's still on youtube. This is all premeditated torture and attempted murder. . Read more...

The car radio keeps freezing on songs insulting me or wont play music at all. After resetting the car while driving for the 937,845,609,238,457,609,823,756,098,273,546,908,723,549,068th time the car started playing "car radio" a song about a guys car radio being stolen and the silence making him want to pull the steering wheel and kill himself in a car accident. Shortly after this the car radio played "kill yourself on a beach" on my daily trip to mcdonalds because it's all I can afford while slowly going bankrupt driving this Tesla on uber because of all the 'defects' and false advertising if you can even call it anything other than intentional punishment for whistleblowing at this point. Tampering with a witness is a 3rd degree felony federal offense punishable by up to 5 years in prison with a $5,000 fine. Photo attached. . Read more...

Same fatal error I've been reporting for over 6 months and about 10 "over the air updates" yes we all really 'needed' more ways to make fart and poop sounds and open our rainbow led buttholes by voice command but what id really like is for literally anyone in all of America to do their job! maybe if someone would do an investigation into to how much fraud there is at literally every level of Tesla from the very top all the way to the pathetic worms at the bottom that somehow find the one vertebrae they have left to continue lying to protect the bank account of a lying megalomaniac. Maybe they would investigate how Tesla vehicles can be used as remote operated drones to kamakazi themselves and kill anyone in the vehicle you don't like or even worse they could hack it thru the radio and use it to crash into literally anyone on the road as described by elon himself and the fbi when asked about drone technology. I mean if elon musk is allowed to spy on all of planet earth without their consent, freeze their car radio, miss every auto payment for 8 months, keep your car in an overflow lot for 3 days on hidden camera and never work on it once 5 times, make your car stop on the highway 50 time, stop your car from charging at home with your own charger in your own house then why does anyone follow any rules? why don't we all just go out in the street and rob and kill and rape anyone whos dumb enough to believe that a car can drive itself? really tho why do I even bother doing any of this everyone on the internet just calls me a stupid, fat, retarded, fag, elon fan, fuckboy. So like why would you ever buy a Tesla. It's made by slaves for f sake! I'm a slave for uber, Tesla and apple. Slavery is real. I lost $28,000 last year doing 1,000 uber and lyft rides in an electric car that's supposed to save money on gas but actually costs more than gas if you use a supercharger. Worst purchase in my entire life by far. . Read more...

In a 1 minute clip I captured how the Tesla constantly misses collision warnings and/or assistance while all safety features are turned on because the car misses the first collision warning and then goes off early on the second scenario with the same car and driver in front of my passenger and I. It's dangerously inconsistent and this is the third passenger on lyft this week this has happened to and the passenger verified as a witness to the event in each example without any sort of coercion. Without the lidar the Tesla makes constant mis-judgements it never should have been removed. Last night I traveled down 429 west and had the same issue with the car reducing to 0mph like it has been for several months but this time I didn't let the car slow down all the way before canceling and leaving Tesla a nice explanation in my best forrest gump impression soundtrack was playing. I said "life is like Tesla fsd, you never know if your cars gonna stop on the highway". What's the point in the voice recording if the error isn't corrected? to make me feel like something is being done? everyone in person and online keeps telling me to just sell the car. Well I would if I could afford to but now I'm stuck between paying my overpriced car bill or driving the overpriced car that keeps failing at its job and almost causing tons of accidents. Thank god I have a dashcam otherwise I bet Tesla would say I'm drunk or something to cover their own butts! hate to break it to ya but I don't drink that's all just bad programming and sensors. You can see once again the person behind us has to switch lanes last second to avoid rear ending us. I wonder all day every day for the last year or so if anyone actually reads these countless reports I've filed or if they're just another corrupt official on the elon musk payroll lol. Https://drive.

Here's front and rear with audio of the Tesla failing to trigger a collision warning or assistance with passengers in the car during a lyft ride. There should be a loud beep paired with some braking assistance but most of the time neither work or they work when they shouldn't. If my car actually got the miles range I paid for and actually charged as fast as they advertise I wouldn't be at home filling out these reports. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, so I squeak, squeak, squeak! https://drive. Google. Com/file/d/15hvhf2et8--xljxwktarqxqsqqyvdzp8/view?usp=share_link https://drive. Google.

Failure Date: 03/18/2023

Bought a brand new Tesla Model Y with 11 miles on it. 1 mile down the road it tells me to “pull over immediately” “reduced power” I was going 45 mph downhill and thankfully not a lot of cars around. I pulled over and it said reduced power, exit and enter vehicle to restore operation. I did and it worked fine. I drove home with no problems for 25 miles. An hour later I was headed somewhere else and stopped at a light, when it was green I accelerated then it did the same thing but I was on an entrance ramp to a bridge and 5 cars were behind me. The car then was in reduced power mode and told me to do the same thing again, exit then re-enter. It was busy traffic and took me 5 minutes to get out when there were no cars going past me. It reduced power and couldn’t excelerate and caused a dangerous situation. This happened 3 more times while I was on the phone with Tesla support before I had to wait 2. 5 hours for a tow with 47 miles on it.

I saw elon musk on twitter recommending a woman put her children or dogs inside his cars with overheat protection on however I have been recording and reporting this fatal error for several months and they have not corrected it. The car has overheat set at 100f I routinely screenshot the car reaching 130f (assuming the cars thermometer is even accurate) this is hot enough to kill basically any living thing. My baby, dead. Dog, dead. It was only 82f outside so I'm going to call bs on the 'tempered glass' that 'repels over 90% heat' the car is a fishbowl/greenhouse. So if my car doesn't kill me, my family and those around me 'full self driving' it will kill your kids and pets while you run errands because you trusted a melomaniac. And if that doesn't kill you everyone who hates elon and Tesla will routinely bully you on the road too because apparently there isn't a single person in all of the entire USA government who isn't a total puppy for elon. Not to mention Tesla just awarded some hackers $350,000 and a new car for hacking a model 3's radio to take over the car when I've been reporting this exact exploit to NHTSA and fbi for months. Many times my car has played insulting music and not allowed me to change it, the car often driving with a mind of its own towards fatal crashes that would kill me if I didn't disengage every 2 minutes (that's being generous when not on a highway). "you pussy ass bitch I aint fuckin with you!" "ive got a million other things I'd rather fucking do, than be fucking with you; little bitch! I don't give a fuck!" I have all this on video. Tesla harassed me when I reported it to them. The first photo is this month the second photo is in August last year.

Failure Date: 02/20/2023

While I was driving on the freeway, the screen/display froze. I was unable to see how fast I was going. I was unable to use my blinkers. Basically just driving with know knowledge of my speed or if people tell if I was changing lanes. Then the screen rebooted as I was driving and everything went back to normal. Just very concerning.

59 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2023

I had just parked in a spot 30 feet in front of my clinic building. My foot was not on the brake nor accelerator — the car had stopped and was parked. Tidied my hair and was grabbing my purse placed on the passenger seat, the car seemed to “surge” and suddenly accellerated quickly straight toward the sliding glass doors toward my medical clinic building! I screamed, dropped everything and stepped as hard as I could on the brake. It stopped suddenly about 5 ft, onto the curb, in front of the doors. No damage (except for the scare!), so no reports. The aaa tow truck driver said he had seen this before in electric cars in his recent 3 months ( 4 out of 5 was Tesla; the other a Volkswagen), and that the black box can’t detect the surge because it’s electrical? didn’t report it because no damage, no proof. Not looking for compensation, am not hurt (yet), but please look into this. I could’ve mowed down precious babies and children, mothers, doctors in my hospital pediatric clinic. I have heard 2 more incidents from a coworker and a family member (model 3 and s), so although my experts not recent, I cannot with clear conscience not report this. Please, please research this, lives are in your hand. Even if it is just one.

60 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2023

A backup camera is required on all new cars. Tesla has a backup camera system comprising 3 views. When reverse gear is engaged, camera views should appear every time on the instrument display. On the first drive of a given day, the camera views are not properly visible until the car has been driving for a few minutes. Specifically, “night mode” on the infotainment display (effectively the instrument cluster) becomes stuck on dark colors and unreadably low brightness. When reversing during daylight hours, the screen is not bright enough to view the backup cameras. Additionally, audible cues for turn signals are inaudible. After about 1/4 mile of driving, the display “catches up” to day mode and responds with appropriate brightness. I believe the dysfunction of the system is a safety hazard to vehicle occupants, other drivers, and pedestrians. I have previously contacted Tesla service about this issue. I was told that the issue is related to software; nothing can be done; it will be fixed at a later, indeterminate date via software updates. The issue persists consistently and has no fix aside from a workaround.

Failure Date: 12/05/2022

I am writing to file a safety concern with vehicles manufactured by Tesla motor company inc (“Tesla”). The complaint relates to safety failures with the automatic retracting window system. This complaint is different from the NHTSA previous issued recall for pinch points (issued on or around September 19th, 2022). During the vehicle software update process, owners can enter the vehicle and close the door (there is no engineered prevention of opening the doors). However, upon attempting to exit the vehicle the window does not automatically retract. When the owner closes the door after exit the windows are prone to break or shatter (see attached photo) which creates a safety hazard. The specific hazard is with broken glass spread in the cabin of the vehicle.

First my car was having issues charginging at the charge stations. Then as soon as that issue occurred, I had to replace the car battery. Then I noticed that the windows would randomly retract while I was driving my vehicle. My child had pointed out that his window was down, when he did not roll it down. Then I noticed some leakage from underneath my vehicle. My main concern of fluids leaking from my vehicle was my main concern. The Tesla dispatcher confirmed that concern by stating that fluids should not be leaking from my vehicle. When he started accusing me of having a car accident that caused me to be even more concerned. He told me that the Tesla service center on 1100 colorado Ave, santa monica, CA. Would find out if I did have an accident by running a diagnostics. When I had my car towed to the Tesla service center, their main concern was a hole in my tire and their professional opinion was to just patch up the tire and not replace the damaged product. Crystal, a representative from the service center said that she would address the main concern of the leakage which she never did. She told me that my car was ready for pickup. I was again confused because she never addressed my main concern. Then I asked what I was paying for and she simply said that it was on my estimate and that it’s a patch for my tire. She was very adamant about me picking up my car before the service center closed at 5:30 but told me at the last minute to do so. She did not explain the details of the leakage until I inquired about it. I did not receive the diagnostics that were promised to me by your Tesla dispatcher. Her explanation to my main concern was, “ no leak was detected under the car so just recommend monitoring and definitely taking a pic when it happens. If the leak is by my left front tire, it’s more likely to be my ac and can be normal. ” that did not make me feel like Tesla’s supplier code of conduct was being followed. Now I am being told that the only liquid coming fro.
