      While I was driving in self driving mode, the car over corrected and hit the center divider on the freeway. My insurance had placed the fault on me since there was no other cars and I have received no help or contact from Tesla.

      I reserved a Tesla Model Y in February of 2022. I was told by the sales agent that the car would be delivered by May with no worries. The month of May came around, and the delivery date got changed to June and was promised to me that in June, I would have the car. Then June came, and Tesla still did not have updates and later increased the delivery date to October-December of 2022. I called the sales agents and managers they had promised me each time my car would deliver on time, but that never happened. Now I have a super long date that I cannot afford at this time. I had sold 2 of my cars in May and June, expecting the Tesla would be delivered in May or June as I was promised. But I now am left hanging and no car. I had the payment ready and everything, but I am so beyond frustrated that my car is not here. I also had done the project of installing the electric charge station and put all my effort and money into having and preparing for this Tesla. I have attached my reservation number and the car type in the supporting documents section. I would like Tesla to resolve this issue and deliver my car to me.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      This is *************************. I had submitted a complaint to BBB about Tesla corporation a few weeks ago for the delivery of my car and me not getting in time. At first when bbb asked me to reply if I was satisfied with the business response, I said no because nothing was done. However, this has changed  since the last week. I had received an early delivery date of my car and I got my car a few days ago. 

      I wanted to contact you to tell you that the complaint was satisfactory and was resolved. I wanted to know if you can update it in your records and give Tesla a great review. 

      I thank you ****** and BBB for everything you did for me I cannot thank you enough. Please let me know if you need any more information. I look forward to hearing from you.

      Late 2013 a sign a 20 years lease agreement with Solar City. At the time I decided to go with a prepay option. I paid $6,670.00 and authorized SC to collect federal and state rebates on my behave as par of the agreement.On March 17th, 2022, a 100' tree fell on part of my house damaging all the solar panels in my roof. I immediately notified Tesla and a rep was sent to inspect the damages. The Tesla rep declared the panels total loss. Later I spoke to *************************** Installation manager, he stated that removal of panels and roof repairs were my responsibility. He also told me that once the roof is repaired they will install the new panels. On March 31 I called ******* to discuss the installation process. At that time he suggested that I should speak to someone from costumer service, since he heard from higher authority that they will not be installing the panels back because I have a flat roof. I answered by telling him that my roof was alway flat and there is nothing in my contract about flat roof. Same day I spoke to **** from costumer service, he told me that the system said they are waiting for the design from *******'s team. On April 8th I spoke to ****** from Tesla costumer service, she told me that they're waiting for the design team to finish with their review and never heard back.On May 3rd, 2022 ******************* from Tesla Resolution Team contacted me to tell me that she was assigned to my case and will be working in trying to find a resolution. I asked her what's the process and how long will it take. her response was about 7 business days.On June 21st 49 days after our original conversation, *** sent me an email with her resolution. On the email she stated that she was finished with her additional review of my panels installation was not possible due to my flat roof. she also suggested the removal of the rest of the equipment.Everyday that passes by I am loosing money, but Tesla has not have any interest in a resolution because they already collected

      Complaint: 17672779

      I am rejecting this response because:This is in response to the email I received from you on August 22, 2022. The issue with SolarCity/Tesla, has not been resolved. I reject the response from Tesla.They offered me $3,614.76 for the 11years 9 months left on my 20 year prepaid lease. SolarCity/Tesla collected over $30k from the deal between the money I paid, plus incentive from ** state and the federal government they were able to collect on my behalf. The fact that they chose not to reinstall the solar panels on my new roof roof, will cost me over $11,000 for the remaining 11 years and 9 months left on the lease agreement. I believe they also collected the insurance money from the total loss of the solar system caused by the storm on January 17th, 2022.
      I have been trying to reach a resolution with Tesla since April. Unfortunately, they have no intention of a resolution and it wasn't until a couple of weeks ago they made me an offer.In August I requested an offer on two separate occasions. Prior to me requesting an offer their resolution was "we will not be installing the panel, due to the fact that I have a flat roof". Even though our contract has no stipulation or language about flat roofs.  Tesla as a big powerful corporation with good attorneys on their payroll has made this issue very difficult and extressfull. I have spent countless hours between phone conversations and emails with them. This was on top of a very stressful situation of having an over 100 foot tree 44" diameter falling on top of my house roof. 
      I understand they are just trying to frustrate me, so I can give up and they get to walk away. 
      Thank you in advance for looking into this issue,

      I have been working with this person since early May. This person made me an offer that is about 30% what it will cost me over the next 11 years and 9 months the time left in my contract. The reason why I am reaching to BBB is because I wasted over 3 months working with this person that never follows up and never does what she said she will do.

      Non-performing Tesla Solar and Powerwalls Mickaly-Your email is a great example of the struggles we as consumers face when dealing with Tesla for product resolution. Again it seems the right hand has no clue what the left hand is doing. Your email notification is about 3 months too late and countless hours wasted. I'm not sure why further review of the notes wasn't done prior to your dismissive email response. Another wonderful example of Tesla adding insult to injury....Your field Techs and Operations *********** teams advised of a shade cover to help the inverter that was placed in the ******* sun (at install) for a min of 6 hours a day with outdoor temps reaching 116 degrees. We've wasted months waiting for a tech to come out and "install" only to be advised by the most recent field visit that this product does not exist and we're back to square one and waiting on another part to be installed. Unfortunately, the pending part/install has nothing to do with providing system relief to the inverter but merely a way to read the power output from the different sets of solar panels.Your team/s advised the only way a repair could be done was if the inverter started to throw errors,itdid. Then they said it needed to then start shutting off, it does. Your teams are on record confirming the system is malfunctioning and it's overworking as this is the first full summer it's been exposed to, and due to the heat it's overheating and shutting itself down. Everything you've asked for has happened, but still Tesla finds a way to say no. "We would have to re-pull permits to move the box 3' to the left"We have filed an Executive Compliant both via Tesla.com as well as spent another hour+on the phone with your Customer/Tech Team on 08/03 and again today I'm currently on the line with a rep who stated her manager advised that Tesla is unable to offer any type of resolution to fix a malfunctioninginverter.

      I am rejecting this response because: This is the same tactic they have done over the last 6-8 months. Then as usual no action to offer final resolution ever takes place. They string us along forcing us to waste hour after to hour calling them trying to get something scheduled. Months will go by, they'll send out a service tech who will then advise they A) don't offer the "fix" the operations team advised of or B) they need one "error" or "malfunction" in order to do X. 

       

      We simply want the unit fixed once in for all or they can come remove the equipment and refund our $36,000.

      In March 2022 I reported to Tesla that my rear suspension have an issue (squeaking). I went to Tesla ************** in *********, **. They said they could not replicate the issue. I went to other Tesla ************** in *******, ** in April and they temporarily fix the problem by retighten the suspension. At this time, the vehicle is still under warranty.

      I purchased a Solar System ( Panels ) from tesla about 4/5 years ago. around the end of February 2022, my solar system turn off. I **ntacted Tesla by their app to inform them of my problem a technician came out went up to check my solar panels, and determined that I had damage done by critters ( squirrels, birds ). I was told by their customer service rep that ********************** can not **me and repair my system because critter damage is not under warranty. that I have to get a third party to **me and fix my system. I got a solar ** to inspect it, I hired this **mpany and now i find out that TESLA put in a skirt around my system and a special TOOL is required to remove my panels in order to have the damage repaired . the **mpany does not have this SPECIAL TOOL to remove my panels and TESLA is refusing to help in this matter they say they don't lend this tool out . how do I have my system repaired if the only way is using whatever tool they claim they have to remove them? I find that is unfair business tactics. tesla will not **me out and perform the repairs themselves. in the meantime, I have a solar system on my roof that they sold me and got paid in full but won't do anything to help me so that I can get my system working again AND MY ELECTRIC **** IS GOING UP EVERY MONTH PLEASE, PLEASE.

      I made a reservation for a Tesla Model * on March 15, 2019 (Order No.: RN110243510) with a fully refundable payment of $2,500. On March 1, 2020 I placed an order for the Performance version of the vehicle for $67,200 (due upon delivery). I own a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance and had an exceptionally poor delivery and service experience which led to Tesla committing in 2019 to transfer Free Supercharging for Life and Premium Connectivity for Life from the Model 3 to the Model * as long as I ordered a Performance version since the Free Supercharging for Life was only available for that version of the Model 3 at the time that order was placed. Tesla reneged on this agreement and I have been trying to reach a positive resolution ever since. On March 26, 2022 at 9:55am (all specified times are Pacific) I was given a deadline of 5pm to take delivery on an assigned VIN or face reservation cancellation. Tesla agreed to defer delivery until after I'd relocated to Texas in June/July 2022, but reneged shortly thereafter. At 12:25pm Tesla re-assigned the **** 4 hours and 25 minutes ahead of the communicated deadline. The reservation was placed on hold and subject to cancellation. On March 27, 2022 at 5:30pm the reservation was listed as on hold until April 22, 2022. On March 28, 2022 the reservation was unceremoniously cancelled without communication. On April 25, 2022 my $2,500 deposit was refunded. I have reached out to Tesla numerous times to try and resolve this issue, but they have not responded to my letters, emails, or calls. I am still very much interested in taking delivery of the Model * and would accept either of the following resolutions: 1) restore the Model * Performance reservation for $67,200 and transfer Free Supercharging for Life and Premium Connectivity for Life from the Model 3 as agreed upon; or 2) restore the Model * reservation and change to the Long Range version, reducing the price by $9,000 to match the price at the time the order was placed.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Teslas response on 8/9 at 11:33am (Central) referenced a provided document which was a text message transcript. They claimed that VIN reassignment occurred on 3/26 at 6:10pm (Pacific) despite the referenced document clearly indicating that this action occurred on 3/26 at 12:25pm (Pacific). The company also failed to address why the order was cancelled on 3/28 at 1pm (Pacific) while the order was listed as on hold until 4/22. I responded to Teslas email correspondence via email on 8/9 at 12:48pm (Central) and refuted their claim, but did not receive a response.

      On 03/26/22 at 12:25pm Tesla communicated that it reassigned my ***, 4 hours and 35 minutes ahead of the 5pm deadline that Tesla communicated on 03/26/22 at 9:55am. Tesla now claims that the *** reassignment actually occurred at 6:10pm. That *** accurately reflect when the *** was systematically reassigned, but as a customer I do not have transparency into **********************'s internal systems and can only work off the information that was communicated to me at the time. To claim that I am responsible for the differences between Tesla's communication times vs. their actual systematic times is unjust. See 2022-03-26_TextMessages.pdf for reference.

      Tesla also communicated that the reservation was on hold until 04/22/22, but re-assigned the *** on 03/28/22. This remains unaddressed by Tesla. See 2022-03-27_DeliveryHold.pdf for reference.

      The reservation was cancelled by Tesla due to its age, which, according to the Motor Vehicle Order Agreement Terms & Conditions, is not a valid cancellation reason. See 2020-03-01_OrderAgreement.pdf for reference.

      I responded to Tesla on 08/16/2022 at 6:17pm (Central), but did not receive a response.

      Regards,

      When I purchased my solar panels Aug 2017 I was informed that if I needed the panels removed and replaced for a roof repair it would be $500 and not to attempt it yourself or have a 3rd party cause it would void my 25 year warranty.Come 2022 I have a roof leak that Tesla informs me is not due to their installation but also will not remove the panels so that I can get access to the roof. I was told my issue doesnt qualify for them to remove the panels and to find a 3rd party (which yet again will void the warranty). After discussing the issue with the girl on the phone she said she would ask her manager to see if they could make an exception and remove my panels but it would run $5300!!!. I asked to have the manager return my call which has not happened.Thats a far way off from $500. Even with inflation etc Im willing to pay $1000-1500 for something that will take them less then half a day with no materials other then a tube of silicone to perform. So I am stuck cause a 3rd party wont due the work and if they did it would void my warranty or beg for Tesla to do the work for $5300???This is not acceptable. I just recently had surgery and cant do any of the work myself and Tesla wont help as water continues to leak into my house. Thanks

      I am rejecting this response because:I am still going back and forth with Tesla.   I have this email attached asking for confirmation on the pricing before I signed the contract that states it would be $500 or current labor rate.  They are sticking with that means current competitive rate NOT current labor rate.  
      I am not out to have Tesla lose money and am willing to pay current labor rates that even if they tripled or quadrupled in 5 years would be $1500-2000 not $5300 which is an over ****% increase.  
      We still havent come to terms but I feel they wont.   They stated I have the right to go to litigation which they know most people wont cause the cost to litigate would be as much as me paying the $5300.
      I feel I was lied to up front cause if I was told this I would have pushed off purchasing the system and got a roof first.
      But I have made connections with Tesla customers in my area with similar concerns so we are talking about how to proceed.
      Thanks

      A solar system was installed at our address - ***********************************************. It took Tesla over a couple of months have things going and getting the system operational.After almost a month of production, the *********** System installed has gone out of order and is no longer operational. Reached out to Tesla support through various means (chat, phone) and it was only today I was able to talk to a scheduling advisor (after 4 days). I am being told that the earliest available appointment to resolve the issue is 9/21/2022, which is like 50 days from today (please note the system is not operational for last 5 days).
