| 46500 mi | Loose stabilizer bar joint, passenger side. Was replaced. It started just after they did the repairs on the front shocks last year. Car can work for a while even if those joints are a bit loose. |
| 50147 mi | Replace Bolts In Steering Rack Housing, Bosch part recall. |
| 62751 mi | Cracking when over speed bumps at low speed. Tesla replaced suspension control arms and sway bar. I also asked to check for a possible cooling fluid leak, but they did not find anything. The problem came back once after this trip but nothing afterward. The leak was in the middle of the car, so it was possibly an overflow as this is where it goes. I also asked for a knocking when going from forward to reverse and reverse to forward as I was getting close to the end of the warranty, they did not hear it, but it's still there. I assume it's a normal wear and will not break soon. |
| 67952 mi C $750 |
Broken rear control arm (around rubber). Replaced myself with my father. Took long because we lost screws and the new control arm was pretty hard to put in place due to torsion to apply to rubber. |
| 68820 mi C $400 |
Replaced the other side rear control arm before it broke like the previous one. The cracking boat sound went away, it was caused by a bit loose bushing in the control arm. |
