MAJOR Tesla Problems Are HERE - Owners Are FURIOUS?!

All Tesla models have some major new problems and all Tesla owners are furious...at least that is what we're told. Love Tesla or hate them, there is a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt surrounding the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. From charging problems, range anxiety, sky-high prices, and the lack of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Let's break down some of the big Tesla problems, myths, and how this may affect all current Tesla owners and new vehicles like the new Model Y Juniper.

What I hate are disingenuous Youtube channels with rather phony titles … what owners are furious, as example?

The only friends/family that I have that would never buy a Tesla are the pretty liberal ones. I love my Tesla and tell them all that it's the best vehicle I've ever owned but they hate Trump so bad that they'd never buy one. Who cares about the person Elon is voting for. It's really ok to have a differing political opinion. Unfortunately, people have lost their minds these days.

I want to share my experience with the Tesla Model Y to raise awareness about its significant flaws. This car is not suitable for driving in the rain; the design is poorly built, compromising the water seal to the motors underneath. Recently, I found myself driving on a road flooded to the curb level. I know this was a bad idea, but it wasn’t intentional. After all, it’s marketed as an SUV, or at least a crossover, given its size. Mine is a 2023 Performance Model Y.
Tesla will not cover water damage, despite the fact that they build cars that are prone to major issues when driving in wet conditions. I received an estimate for repairs of nearly $6.5k. This makes me suspect that Tesla has a strategy of attracting customers with significant discounts compared to their initial prices, only to make more money off of repair costs later.

To make matters worse, if you do not have Tesla insurance, they won’t send you roadside assistance in this kind of situation.

These cars are extremely delicate when it comes to water exposure. To anyone reading this: never drive your Tesla on a rainy day or even shortly after it stops raining. Avoid taking your Tesla to a car wash, and if you must, do not select the underbody wash option.

I have owned this car for just 10 months, and it’s already been in the service center three times. I purchased it for nearly $53k, and the insulation around the major components is alarmingly poor. I can no longer drive it with peace of mind when it rains, and I deeply regret my decision to buy this vehicle.

I bought my 24 MYP in May taking advantage of .99% financing. No issues. No range anxiety. Pure driving fun! Not worried about the refresh. Great deal. Great car being my first EV. Never have attended a Tesla event but looking forward to attending many in the near future!

Will someone please add up all the time spent in a year driving to the gas station, over to that other one where you collect points. Add in the time you have to wait for a spot, the time it takes to pump you gas, check your oil and drive home. Total that up for a year and I think you will be surprised.

I don’t ever do any of that. Except on vacation. When we take the kids to the beach we get the Hua Hin, and I have about 25% left. (If my wife makes the trip, she arrives with 49% left) That is enough to go out to dinner a couple of times and run to 7-11. Yes, drive to the new Super Charger in Hua Hin, and drive Home. But anything we do around Bangkok, stuck in traffic for hours sometime, we never get below 50%… down from 80% that we charge to at home.

To be honest, I rented a Tesla in Dallas last year and I was going to drop it off in Van Nuys. We (me and one coworker) had to stay in dallas for a month before we went back to LA area. I got an idea to Show my coworker the Southwest US a little on the way. We would stop by and see my ex brother in law in Pagosa Springs Co, take the drive out through Cortez, down through Mexican Hat, at least drive through monument Valley and Bryce Canyon National Park.
But you can’t do that in a Tesla. I see now that they have a new supercharger in Kayenta AZ since I went through but there were no supercharger in Southwest Co. We had to charge at a 1772 (hertz didn’t give or have a ccs plug) for 5 hours, which pit us late to Cortez. To make our hotel in Page AZ we had to go to Blanding to get the supercharger up there. Then, if I drove like my wife does, we could just ‘bearly’ make to page with 15%. So now at 10:30 we headed to page from Blanding. While at that supercharger we put our navigation to Page and once finished charging we didn’t notice that it change the destination to Farmington supercharger. Halfway through battery, we noticed. From there, we could not make it to page Arizona and to drive to Farmington out-of-the-way meant that we would stay in Farmington and Miss, our hotel and deposit in page Arizona. So we had to drive back to Blanding Utah to go to the supercharger once again so we could drive to page against the recommendation of the navigation system. This put a so late in our trip that we could only spend the night in page, not see anything but the Glen Canyon Dam, and just drive to the valley. There is just some things in a Tesla that you cannot do and that is sightsee in the Navajo nation or countries like Thailand that have very few superchargers thus far.

Most are valid. I took my first long distance road trip one month after getting my Tesla. I did great, no range anxiety until I tried to out think the car. It told me when to charge and I tried to push it and had to eventually go to a charger. So remember the car will do its job and get you to your destination, just follow its instructions.

[TeslaTravelsandStops]

Love my 23 MYLR. Never had an issue and zero range anxiety. Love Tesla and Elon. Awesome person and company.

[bryanlau]

Those haters will always find things to complaint. Stick with the gasoline cars blah blah blah…As a citizen of this great country, we should be proud of what Tesla has accomplished for a relatively young American corporation. For the first time in so long that an American made dominates the global market. That is something WE should be proud of! I bought my Tesla because that’s how I want to spend my hard earned money regardless of Elon political view. His political view has no impact on my life what so ever!

[AceAskin]

I bought my 2024 Model Y a month ago and I LOVE IT! No range anxiety, no regrets at all.

[jimhertwig]

I bought my 2020 Model Y used one year ago. My biggest regret is that I waited so long to get it. It is without a doubt the best purchase of any type that I’ve made. Being used, it did not qualify for the $7500 tax refund, and it was too expensive to qualify for the used car refund ($35000). Regardless, I LOVE the car and really enjoy driving it. And FSD is spectacular. Very little intervention, and very smooth. I don’t miss ApplePlay at all. I just sync my phone through Bluetooth and enjoy my music, podcast, or audio books while still enjoying the full functionality of the screen and Tesla software. I charge at home using a 120 outlet; it’s slow, but easily covers most of my driving at $0.15/kwh. If I need more charge for extra driving or a road trip, I simply pull in to a SuperCharger, no problem. And I’ve taken several multi-day road trips, and never had an issue with finding a SuperCharger; as you say, the car takes you to the locations. It’s the best purchase I’ve ever made.

[Docto]

What if it takes me on a route where I need to stop for charging but it’s the most congested traffic ridden route rather than a route that is free of traffic but has no charges? I don’t have to worry about that with a gas powered car obviously because there are plenty of gas stations around. You see what I mean? Don’t want to have to think of where I might have to gas up because of where I’m going and that’s a major issue and that I have to drive according to the cars capabilities rather than it takes me where I want to go.

[EV-Darryl]

Great video, right on the money. I own a 2024 Model Y and now have 8, 500 miles on it in 3 months. We already own a 2023 Chevy Bolt and know the myths about electric cars. We have been on road-trips and you should be on myth busters as we are not afraid of anything. Stay safe.

[boomerfuturist]

I bought a model Y last November and it was okay. Traded it for a model X in May and I absolutely love this car. As for full self driving I don’t have much use for it until they actually have level 5 full self driving.

[cjayseven]

The range thing is overblown. Accessories are plentiful. Prices have been coming down and are more affordable than ever. Apple care, the Tesla system is pretty awesome and is getting better. People often assume bad software in cars since non-Tesla OEMS are horrible at software. Charging at home at 0.12/kwh for me rocks. I used FSD Supervised for about 95% of all my driving. No major issues. The eye tracking is way better than jiggling the steering wheel. Hopefully, Y will get everything that my 24 M3RWD-LR has. The updates were great enough for me to trade in my 23 M3Performance. I registered my shares and would love to go!

[duncanmacleanjr]

You have 4 groups of people.... early adopters, potential buyers, cautious buyers, and never buyers. You largely have exhausted the early adopters. Potential buyers need to be pushed a bit... get range over 375 miles... get charging from 20-80% down to 15 mins. You can talk all you want about "you really don't need that much range..." but people are irrational. Features are nice and all, but to really open you up to a broader population, you need to increase range and decrease charging times.

[Docto]

Why can’t they make the Tesla with the same controls as a regular car? Why is everything on a screen? I mean, if something goes wrong with the electronics, you wouldn’t be able to do anything with that car. What’s wrong with having turn signals on the steering wheel and buttons on your radio and a stick shift in the middle, and just hook it up to the engine?

[robertyoung]

I bought a MYP in April for 43k with 5k off. We turned around in June and bought my wife a MYP on the 1% financing. Its hard to pass up these offers even knowing there is a refresh coming next year and ultimately why we decided to do it now instead of later.

Any fears of range we killed with a 2000 mile road trip through the Midwest. The hassle of stopping is so minimal, you just plan bathroom breaks and food around these stops and it barely adds any time.

Its been an absolute joy having these cars and I have no doubt my next vehicle will be a Tesla again in a few years. My wife though has her heart set on the R2, she's sold on EVs but the R2 design matches her heart which is fine by me as I'd love to have access to one too!

I considered cancelling my order (Model Y) back in 2021 because of NO XM Radio. Having to pull the app up on my phone and choose stations from the phone is frustrating and Dangerous while driving. I have had multiple false braking alerts while using Autopilot (just for speed control) on my car. It happens at least once during every road trip! My wife will not use the Autopilot. Also, based on my experience with Tesla's free month of FSD (last April) and the issues with Autopilot, I would NEVER pay the price for FSD. I could not even offer up any comments on the FSD experience because they required you to have an "X" account, which will never happen!

[davecaudwell]

Another excellent post Robert.

Here in good old Blighty we don’t yet have FSD. Really hoping the laws are changed that will allow it to become an option.

I bought my M3 Highland RWD in July this year and absolutely love it. I was and still am a petrolhead with 35+ years of driving.

I can hand on heart say that my M3 is the best vehicle I have ever owned (and I’ve had a lot of nice ice cars)

Here In the UK we still face a lot of challenges as the transition towards EV adoption continues. Media myths being the main obstacle in my opinion. My recent experience here in the Uk is there are lots of really good EVs currently on sale from a range of Manufacturers. However, after looking at all my options it was a total no brainer to go for a Tesla and I’m completely satisfied with the fact that I did.

To all those who aren’t sure or convinced I say.

Don’t knock it till you have tried it.

[shaggydogsales]

My wife and I each purchased 2024 MY. We took advantage of all the great purchase incentives including 1.99% financing, fsd transfer and 3 months of free super charging. By far the best vehicle we've ever owned.

Our utility has an EV rate for .07 kWh between 10pm and 5am which helps make our home charging cost fairly inexpensive.
