Consumer Description

AUTOPILOT SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK FROM THE MOMENT IT LEFT THE LOT BRAND NEW. THE WARNINGS ON THE FORWARD CLUSTER DISPLAY LOWER CENTER STARTED OUT DISPLAYING "SURROUND VEHICLE DISPLAY LIMITED" THEN CHANGED TO DISPLAYING "AUTOPILOT FEATURES LIMITED". NEVER HAD THE CALIBRATION IN PROGRESS DISPLAYED WHILE DRIVING OFF THE LOT. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE TESLA SERVICE CENTER IN VIENNA, VA TO ADDRESS DUE BILL ITEMS. AFTER 2 WEEKS AT THE TESLA SERVICE CENTER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A WIRE IN THE HARNESS LEADING TO THE RIGHT B PILLAR WAS DAMAGED. A WIRE WAS ADDED OUTSIDE OF THE HARNESS TO REPAIR IT. REQUEST TO HAVE THE HARNESS REPLACED WERE DENIED AND NO ASSURANCES IN WRITING FROM TESLA THAT THE REST OF THE HARNESS WAS FREE OF ANY DAMAGE. I NEVER HAD A "CALIBRATION IN PROGRESS" RETURNING THE VEHICLE HOME. IS THE AUTOPILOT FUNCTION CALIBRATED? WE HAVE THE FULL SELF DRIVING PACKAGE. INSPECTION OF THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY TESLA I DISCOVERED THE ANCHOR BOLT, ANCHOR BOLT CAP MISSING AND A COUPLE OF CLIPS BROKEN ON THE TRIM PANELS.
