Shareholders must be thrilled!

>>(XC40 T8 EV). Such model doesn't exist. Do you mean XC60? And if so then it's not an EV, it's a PHEV. Anyway, Volvo made a collosal mistake of going with the Android Automotive operating system. It looks good but it's genuienly a pile of steaming crap. When Volvo had Sensus(their own OS) yeah it wasn't pretty but it was stable and it worked day in day out. I have a 2020 XC60 T8 with sensus and I literally have had…
The XC40 T8 EV does exist. I know, because I owned one. It was a 2022 model I think, got it late 2021. The renamed it a few times after that. I basically had one of the first XC40 EVs on the local market. I ordered it before they were in the showrooms. EDIT: I looked up the invoice; they called it a "XC40 Recharge Level III P8 BEV AWD AT". I think it had a P8 TE badge ("Twin Engine"). So it wasn't T8. I got it Sep 20…
Knowing Tesla’s reputation for unreliable products and poor customer service how did you nazi this coming?
There's two updates to the original post: - All my communications with the Budapest Service Center: https://www.myteslaexperience.com/2025-02-04/all-my-communic... - How to spit in a customer's face: https://www.myteslaexperience.com/2025-02-07/how-to-spit-in-...
It's funny to me to buy a domain name just for that.
First: has the author tried a tesla before buying one? I'd never buy a car without trying it. Because comparing it to a Clio just because the Clio worked, well, seems a bit off. a Clio is a car, a fully functional Tesla is a gian iPad with wheels. There's a huge difference.
Second: when you buy a car, do you ask yourself, how will I fix it in case anything goes wrong? Buying a car in a country where there's no service is a huge no-no.
Third: No doubt that a car with all these defects _must_ be changed, or fixed immediately at no cost of transportation, or offered a compensation to get it back. I think the owner should _also_ contact a lawyer and try to get a refund. I'd not accept this kind of treatment.
"Tesla acknowledges all faults in the vehicle (except for battery losses, a fact on which it has not yet formally commented). The company refuses to accept a return of the vehicle without penalty, even though the problems were reported immediately. The only solution they offer is to make me wait 3 months for a miraculous replacement part. Ignored and without any type of compensation, I live attached to a car that nee…
A colleague of mine bought a Model 3, which he has mostly been happy with. But, since there aren't any dealerships / service points anywhere close, he has to drive 12 hours to the closest one. He got some error, I think it was the tire pressure sensors/tire pressure monitoring system, and had to drive 12 hours, sleep in hotel, and drive 12 hours back, to get that error fixed. Two days after he comes back home, a new…
Buying a car in London I check there is a dealer within a 12 minute drive!
Putting aside the ethics of buying a Tesla in 2024, who buys a car brand legendary for unreliability and ridiculously long service times in a country that doesn't even have a dealership? Some people like to live dangerously.
The 8% battery loss per day comes from sentry mode. It's draining your battery like crazy.
8% seems like a lot. Car usually stays plugged in at home so I haven't seen it drain. I wonder if it's having trouble since the cameras aren't working, and constantly trying to detect objects or something?
That's a lot of power, and a lot of money.
Considering these are (bad) corner case situations other modern cars seem to be having as much as Tesla, just by glancing at the comments, the first thing in the article highlighted being "Elon Musk's company!" just makes this look like a hit piece no different from that oil&gas connected "car reviewer" who forced the Tesla to run empty by driving back n forth in a parking lot. The crazies are always there. But they…
