My Tesla Battery Failed After 1 Month and I Was Denied a Proper EV Replacement


My Tesla has been experiencing a critical issue for the past 45 days—the autopilot system and all cameras are non-functional. A service ticket was opened on February 23 after I reported that neither the autopilot nor the cameras were working. The technicians identified four parts that might need replacement. So far, only three have arrived, and no one can give me an update on the final part. I was told it would arrive by April 24, but it’s still not here.
The car is only three months old with 4,000 km on it, and yet I’ve been forced to drive it for over a month and a half without any cameras, no autopilot, and no active safety systems—the very features that define the Tesla experience.
Tesla service staff have acknowledged that waiting 45+ days for a part is unacceptable, but I’ve received no support regarding a replacement vehicle. Apparently, they only offer a loaner if the car is “undrivable,” which completely ignores the fact that driving without safety systems is a huge risk.
I’ve called Tesla support more times than I can count, spoken to numerous reps, and still—no resolution. I understand manufacturing defects can happen, but it’s how you handle them that matters. Tesla is a brand people choose because of its advanced software and safety technology. I’ve been driving a “blind” car for 45 days—no cameras, no autopilot, no safety assurance.

Additionally, the navigation system frequently offers incorre...

It's quite evident that there is a noticeable lack of any responsible figure or manager who can offer a solution. In spite of the promi...

One of my Tesla’s tires has a cut and clearly needs to be changed. I have a spare tire ready to go, and I know that due to the battery pack underneath, the car requires special care while lifting to avoid potential damage. So, I did the responsible thing and called Tesla Service for assistance. I e...

I purchased a Tesla Model Y, which is officially advertised to have a range of 465 km. However, every time I charge the vehicle to 100%, the range displayed on the screen is only 370–380 km—not even close to the advertised figure. Let me be clear: this is not the actual driven range, but the projec...
