To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell

If Elon wasn't so busy talking crap on Twitter all day long, he could maybe pick up on stories like these if it went viral, and get something done. This is unacceptable. Teslas, in principle, are great cars.

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?

if you are trying to but a tesla, then you have only yourself to blame when something goes wrong.

tesla is (in)famous for customer service and quality issues.

I'm ready to provide witness statement in front of court about the 8% per day battery loss from sentry mode on a 2022 M3P. It's not even on a busy street, just a shitty software. Not sure why you want to argue about that.

Edit: Sorry maybe this sounded a bit too rough, but unplug your car and check it yourself. It's like someone is siphoning gasoline from your vehicle every single day.

Tesla sales are plummeting all over the world currently, also in the US. But with Musk in the US government, I wonder how long it will take before there will be tariffs on foreign cars big enough to pretty much force US citizens to buy his Tesla's.

i've been lucky with my model Y purchase in that there have been no issues with the car itself so far. i would certainly never buy a tesla again, however.

Not that famous, as they used to (maybe still do? I don’t follow) force customers into an NDA in order to warranty fixes.
