What Owners Say
"Water entered the trunk after rain storms."
Anonymous A., CA (2018 Tesla Model 3 Standard Electric)"Tesla service came to my house a year ago to perform a recall on a rear camera harness in the trunk. The tech cracked my back windshield while performing the service and Tesla replaced my back window for free. It has now started to leak into the trunk and into the cabin near the back drivers side pillar (my daughter said her seatbelt was wet when she buckled). I took my car to Tesla service a week ago. They left my car in the rain and said they could not duplicate the leak. Then at the end of the week they said they were able to finally duplicate the leak and charged me $700 and replaced the rear door seal. I brought the car home, sprayed it, and its still leaking from both spots. Additionally, from being left in the rain by back pillar now has water stains. I'm waiting for the manager to call me back to resolve the problem. I've had so many problems with my car: Tesla replaced the trunk initially because it was crooked, the first time it rained it wouldn't charge and Tesla had to replace the charge port, interior trim pieces falling off, the A/C has a mildew smell and Tesla took so long to replace the filters the first time I (coincidentally?) got pneumonia, the smell occurs every year and I have to replace the filters annually, the back seat won't stop squeaking, the rear breaks kept squealing and had to be fixed, and now this I will never buy another Tesla. The service center has also been horrible to deal with. They told me that since they replaced the glass over a year ago even if they find a leak in the seal I have to pay for it."

Anonymous A., VT (2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Electric)"annoying seat belt and steering wheel column noises"
Anonymous, CA (2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Electric)"The back seat squeaks when someone sits in it on the passengers side. It appears to be because the main clip is located on one corner of the seat and the squeak is occurring at the opposite corner."
