Dead on arrival

The car can die WHILE PLUGGED IN. The app will not notify you. If it’s dead, there is no way to unlock the car and jump it like a normal car. You will have to pay for professionals. You better live in town with a Tesla dealership or you’re going to have to pay to get the car towed to a place that can work on it.

THIS LEMON IS AS RELIABLE AS A SWISS CHEESE CONDOM

I hate loathe despise my piece of crap and I say this because I probably can’t curse on this site and plan to put reviews on every reliable site I can. This is how feed up I am with this rat mobile so others will be warned. I constantly have thoughts of what’s going to break down next week or month? This is not what you want to think of for any car and this is without a doubt the WORST I’ve every owned in terms of reliability and service which I will elaborate. The worst car I’ve ever owned in terms of reliability is the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is no longer made for obvious reasons. What makes this Tesla worse is not the reliability but the scheduling of service. You cannot talk to a live person, everything is done on Tesla APP and scheduling could take 2-3 weeks if you’re lucky they don’t cancel on you and keep rescheduling. At least with the Jeep I got it fixed anywhere anytime. My Tesla model suX is practically at in the Tesla service shop every month or 2 months when I can get scheduled. Oddly I don’t even speed much or drive it hard. The issues I’ve had which I can remember are: Side mirrors not working $565 Front passenger door wont open $146 Control arms replacement around 50K $1500 HEPA filter replacement $919 Small battery change, not the big one but a small one $243 Constant software issues Charging fuel latch won’t open $400 Rear balancing after eating my new Continental tires at 12,000 @ $275 Both rear trunk buttons won’t work $95 As of 07/11/2022 the car wont even charge now!! How insane is that???? Haven’t gotten repair price for this yet. This car gets lots of looks and saves on gas for sure but TRUST ME it doesn’t make the worst reliable car list on several reports for no reason. I don’t think the S 3 or Y have the same issues as the X but be forewarned: stay away from this LEMON unless you plan endure lots of time bringing it to Tesla’s service center.

No Room to Sit...

Test drove the tesla when in the market for a new vehicle. Loved everything about the car except the interior room. I am 6'4" and you would think that a vehicle that has no engine in the front would be so stingy with the leg room. The tesla has less leg room than many compact SUVs on the market. If you are short this is the vehicle for you, otherwise keep searching.

This is not your grandfathers vehicle. This vehicle gets better with time. I bought an car with batteries, a huge windshield, and super cool falcon doors, later i got though over the air updates, from dash camera, then side camera,then rear facing camera, security recording while parked known as sentry mode, self driving, ability to watch netflix, hulu, youtube, play games, make music, it just keeps going on and on. After driving this, everything else is just outdated, did i mention it's quiet and you wont die from breathing the air while parked in the garage.
