  • Unavailable Repair Parts Tarnishes Tesla Image - 2016 Tesla Model S
    By -

    When I bought my new Tesla Model S in May 2016 and for months before I was proud to be part of “accelerating the worlds transition to sustainable energy.” I talked it up with my friends and family and even with strangers I met at Starbucks. I got 2 of my kids to pre-order the Model 3. Then I ran over a truck tire tread on the freeway, causing $6k of damage to the bumper and undercarriage. Since then, the car has been at Kniesls Repair Shop in Roseville, CA, a Tesla-authorized repair shop. It has been there for 6 weeks now awaiting repair parts, with no ETA for those parts. In fact, Kniesls tells me that they have 3 other Teslas in their shop in similar condition awaiting parts for as much as 3 months. After 4 weeks, I contacted Tesla using the form on their web site. No response. At all. If “the worlds transition....” involves no repair parts, I want no part of it, and neither should you. If “the worlds transition....” includes the inability to forecast a delivery date for repair parts, I am ashamed to be a part of it. If “the worlds transition....” entails a complete lack of interest in post-sales customer service, I am afraid of it. What would you do if your car was unavailable for 6 weeks with no forecast for when it would be available again? Would you feel like you were accelerating the worlds transition to sustainable energy?
