Car wouldn't start or release charge cable — dead in garage. Car was transported to service center for diagnosis and repairs. Problem was a corroded wire to the charge port. Tesla service said it took nine hours to find the problem but they comped me all but one hour. My car is long out of warranty (except for the battery and drive unit). Service also paid for a rental car to get me to the service center to pick up my car. |
| 55466 mi | Had a "Low coolant" message in the car occasionally, getting more often each day. 2 days ago I saw liquid under the car, took pictures and sent to mobile service team which was supposed to come a week later. They told me to go to the service center ASAP, which I did. They found leak from the 4 Way Coolan Valve - Series/Parallel. They replaced it, it was quick work. Charge cable didn't work with 110v or 220v. Replaced universal mobile connector. |
| 57040 mi | Replaced 3-way coolant valve (chiller bypass) |
| 65720 mi C $524 |
3 way valve leaked. This valve was replaced 2 years ago. Leaking again... Did not send to Tesla, cost way too much than a closer repair shop that does Teslas. Drove there as the leak didn't prevent me to go. |
