346-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic AWD
| 6200 mi | Rear windshield replaced due to defective defroster |
| 17000 mi | I believe that a software update bricked the LTE connectivity card. I could not access the car from the phone app, and navigation was somewhat limited because it didn’t have traffic data. It was very drivable, though. |
| 18000 mi | rear tail light fogged up to the point where there was standing water inside. replaced under warranty. |
| 500 mi | Heat pump part malfunction [subject of a recall] |
| 12000 mi | Failed trunk latch. Replaced and re calibrated |
| 23000 mi US $140 |
Cabin air filter smelled horrible 8 months after delivery, they say to do it once every 2 years so this failed before expected lifespan. Still had to pay. |
| 3000 mi | Defective headlight replaced. |
| 500 mi | Periodic notice that the frunk needed attention. Turned out to be a grounding wire that needed to be reset. Never were there any problems that prevented the frunk's use, its opening or closing, or errors while driving or (remotely, via the app) when the car was unattended. |
| 4096 mi | Driver side roof speaker is making intermittent static noises when driving and made worse when driving over bumps. I can hear static across FM, Streaming, and Bluetooth. Tesla service found that Speaker wiring was grounding against the body of the vehicle. Trim removed, proper insulation/foam placed, and trim replaced. Service covered by warranty. |
