Tesla Model S

"The Tesla Model S Navigation System messaged me the 12 battery "must be" replaced immediately, or I risk it not starting. I complied. I had no issues other than the warning message to replace the 12 V battery, a very expensive Tesla proprietary part. I requested the Testa Service Center show me supporting test results confirming the battery was failing. They had none - stating they just followed the warning message & replaced them. Two months later, I got the identical Navigation screen message telling me to replace the 12 V battery. The second warning message was removed from my screen by the Tesla service Center resetting the computer."

"The main battery needed the fuse replaced. The 12v battery needed to be replaced."

"I repaired the driver's side front door latch myself & was surprised to learn I was replaced previously with an upgraded (2017) unit. The upgraded unit was seized, apparently from water on the door latch motor. As the "new" owner I washed it regularly with a pressure washer. The sheet metal door latch passage is not sealed from water. It appears I ruined the motor with the wash water. I purchased a new upgraded unit off Ebay."

"Seal of the sunroof leaks. Water drips in and on to the driver's seat. Problem occurs in heavy or extended rains and, of course, in a car-wash. Tesla looked at and thought they'd fixed it. Nope. We just keep a towel in the car now."

"The previous text explained this issue."

"The sun/moon roof seal has come loose and causes a leak in a car wash."

"upgraded computer and screen - now works more smoothly"

"The screens (main and driver's side) leaked glue causing bubbling, difficulty seeing parts of the screen (a real safety issue) and caused and large mess that the dealer poorly cleaned, and I am still dealing with."

"The screen starting leaking a glue like substance. To fix it, it required the infotainment upgrade, cost $2800 out of pocket. The car was out of warranty to it was not covered. A car that costs as much as Teslas do, should hold up better than that. In addition the battery is losing range. New the range was 238 miles on a full charge. 9 years in range is down to 222-226."
