Tesla Model S

"Water was leaking into the tail lights when the vehicle was washed. Tesla replaced the tail light"

"air leak in left rear window"

"drain hole in trunk hatch got clogged ,Tesla fix it ASAP"

"A seal on the rear brake light allowed water into the light fixture. Tesla replaced both rear brake lights with newer versions."

"There was a water leak in the tailgate. It was fixed by Tesla service at no cost."

"The lift gate leaked water after a heavy rain apparently due to a defective seal around the tail light. Tesla promptly came to my house and updated the seal to prevent the problem in the future"

"My sunroof was slowly leaking water (I only saw one drop but there were water rings at the top of the inside of my roof. Tesla fixed the problem and told me the drain hose for the sunroof was clogged."

"slight suspension squeak. Notice first by Tesla service when in for routine check. Proactively fixed under warranty by Tesla"

"Clips on the dash and doors can sometimes come loose, and since the car is so quiet, these become obvious. Tesla is very good about fixing these."

"Problem fixed when taken into service center"

"pesky noise in door was solved"

"loose cable in rear deck"

"The side mirrors were making noises when they were retracted. Fixed by Mfg"

"squeaking at the sunroof area"

"Left windshield wiper motor made squeaking noise when returning blade to home position"

"The only tires/wheels available for the P85+ model at that time were 21". These tires make too much noise and cause the body to shake on freeways and rough roads, which sometimes deafens the interior"

"About 6 different rattles from dash, to A-pillar to rear cargo area. They have successfully fixed 4 and they'll take another stab at the other 2 during the next service. They work really hard to make everything right"

"Car creeks alot when driving, might just need lubrication"

"The A/C condenser fan at the front of the car developed a rattle. Tesla corrected the issue by securing the plastic shroud more securely"

"in dashboard, driver's door, and rear of vehicle"

"Some rattling noise intermittently comes from the panoramic sunroof area. I'm not sure of the cause"

"Driver's seatbelt rattles above the shoulder"

"Since my car was manufactured in early 2013, it was one of Tesla's early cars. They figured out how to fix/retrofit them and everything was fixed perfectly, the first time I asked, like always and for free with great service"

"Squeaks coming from driver side and pano roof, annoying constantly squeak from passenger back seat area"

"Front door window seals on both sides were replace to eliminate rattles."

"The car has had some rattling noises off and on through the ownership of the car."

"There was a constant tapping right above my head that was caused by some issue with the sunroof. It was like Chinese water torture, but with a tapping sound."

"wind noise around window"

"The front windows (driver and passenger side) can get mis-aligned, causing wind noise. Since the car is so quiet, any wind or rattles are heard."

"The dealership did not fix an issue I had with the sun roof, apparently not installing one piece of weatherstripping. Since the dealership is 70 miles away I have lived with the wind noise. I am pretty certain the problem will be resolved when I take the care in for its next scheduled maintenance."

"The sunroof seals broke down causing wind noise. TESLA fixed and no cost and the problem went away"

"Passenger side window had excessive wind noise. Tesla arranged for and picked up vehicle. Replaced small corner front window due to poorly placed seal. Delivered it repaired"

"Air noise from rear hatch was quickly adjusted and repaired by Tesla"

"The wind noise, coupled with the loud tires, cause excessive noise in the passenger area. The noise seems to come from windows and the sunroof that are not tight enough"

"Excessive for a 100k vehicle"

"Freezes"

"Bubbles in the screen which did not affect the operation but were irritating."

"Display Screen had some bubbles on top and was fix by Tesla Services."

"Screen would just go blank at various times, but would reboot itself. Problem was resolved by Tesla via system update"

"The screen does not go blank when the car is running. The problem is that the screen does not come on as it used to do when I get in the car. I can get it to come on by pressing simultaneously on the two buttons on the sides of the steering wheel. The problem was not resolved when I last had it in for service. I am hoping that it will get resolved next time."

"It started leaking sticky fluid and lost color around the edge"

"When screen not working, no media, no AC, no GPS. It was replaced in about an hour."

"Started after SW update. Has not been taken to the dealer to fix yet. Scheduled for next week"

"Freezes"

"Display screen seemed dead and wouldn't reboot. Tesla replaced for free"

"My main computer, the big display in the car, failed and had to be replaced"

"screen was blank - could not perform any functios - had to be replaced"

"The screen used to freeze up or go blank occasionally in the first few years I owned my car (I’ve owned it since 2014), however it is far more infrequent now...maybe once every 6 months. It’s an easy fix by just rebooting the screen. I’ve always enjoyed having the latest gadgets and don’t mind (and even expect) the occasional issue and willingly put up with it because my 2014 Model S is fun to drive and requires so much less maintenance than gas powered vehicles (no oil changes, no transmission fluid flushing, etc.) because it has so many fewer moving parts."

"Ability to play MP3s from flash drive suddenly vanished after SW update. After investigation - some SW updates apparently failed - this issue eventually resolved itself after the next SW update."

"Tesla promptly updated touchscreen to latest version at no cost to me."

"Screen showed liquid behind glass and dripped sticky liquid from console. Ruined my windshield visor because of the stickiness."

"Sede prior comment. Display screen wouldn't reboot, no GPS or anything else controlled by the display screen. Vehicle ran fine. Tesla replaced for free,"

"Apparently a failure of a component on some circuit board prevented Bluetooth pairing. The part(s) are on order to fix this and it's covered under warranty."

"When the screen problem occurs and I resolve it by doing the reset, the car loses its bluetooth connection to my phone and even after it says that it had reconnected, I have to disconnect and then reconnect again."

"Streaming stations use home WiFi while parked in garage. When leaving home, occasionally radio will not connect over 3G network. Dealer replaced 3G receiver with 4G, didn’t solve problem"

"static/interference near tall buildings, mountains, under bridges/roadway under passes"

"a SW bug sometimes causes static when starting the car - this bug was created during an upgrade ~2 years ago and still not fixed by Tesla. engineering is working on it..."

"Some over the air wifi software updates failed - no error message or indication of a problem until car capabilities / features simply stopped working or disappeared from screen. Tesla unable to re-push failed over the the air updates and unable to explain issue - only suggested solution is to replace the entire media control unit (which isn't available and costs $thousands.)"

"Mute button and voice command button worked intermittently. Mute button was hazardous as radio could not easily be muted when needed for concentrating on traffic or parking"

"The voice control command to dial a phone number based upon the person's name rarely functions correctly - never the first time and often not at all after 3 or 4 tries."

"Voice commands repeatedly ignored, or described as "uninterpretable" even when a standard simple command was used, such as calling a telephone number, or navigating to a street address. Fixed by rebooting whole car, but recurred"

"THE Door Hinge on the passenger door , was Jammed and would not Open/unlock, Needed replacement"

"Multiple door handles stopped presenting. It's a known issue and all were fixed under warranty with excellent customer service."

"Door handles on both driver side and passenger side stopped operating about seven months apart."

"Door handles have been defective many times since I own the car. The problem keeps on coming back even after repairs."

"The driver's side rear door handle would not present itself so the door could not be opened from the outside or inside in some instances. Fixed under extended warrant by mobile repair in my garage."

"Front trunk latch had to be replaced because it was defective"

"Outside door handles would not operate (can't open door). Problem happened twice"

"Rear door would not unlock. Tesla sent a service tech to my house the next day and fixed it in my garage for free"

"The passenger door handle failed to present. The issue was repaired satisfactorily under warranty"

"Typical model s door handle needed to be repaired"

"the typical tesla model s problem: handle no longer presents"

"Driver's side door handle gear failed due to poor initial engineering on the part of Tesla, and weak part construction."

"Noise from sunroof"

"would not close. Warped and needed replacement"

"Panorama roof sometimes wouldn't close properly. Had to reopen and reclose. Tesla cut out and replaced the track on one side, which fixed it"

"Developed a huge leak from sunroof, but fixed in one visit under warranty."
