Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY TESLA'S SUNNYVALE SERVICE CENTER AND WHEN RETURNED, THEY OBVIOUSLY NEVER DID A SAFETY TEST. AFTER DRIVING DOWN THE STREET I FOUND THEY DIDN'T RECONNECT SEVERAL CABLES, INCLUDING THE FOG LIGHTS AND THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS. THEY ALSO DISABLED SEVERAL SAFETY FEATURES (LANE DEPARTURE WARNINGS, SPEED WARNINGS, DOOR LOCKS, CHILD LOCKS) WITHOUT TELLING ME ANY OF THIS!
