Consumer Description

1)2 weeks into owning the car had a powertrain error message which was fixed by replacing the front drive unit oil pump. 2)Static noise behind the display unit was due to the harness of the circuit not being tightened properly. 3)Left hand drive side LatheralLink bolt was loose and dropped off while making a turn. Right hand LatheralLink bolt was not tightened to the recommended torque. Lefthand driver side Latherallink was replaced and bolts have been tightened. I have updated the invoices, videos and pictures of the 3rd issue. Have requested Tesla to replace my car with a new one as I do not feel safe in the car nor do I feel safe having my family in the car. I have raised this issue with Tesla on Saturday (April 30) and have not heard back from them. I could not upload the video of the issue that I have captured on my phone in this ticket. Please let me know how to share that via an email.
