Questions to ask the seller
- Have you had any problems related to suspension, unknown or other, forward collision avoidance?
- Can I see recent maintenance and repair records?
- Has the vehicle ever been towed, involved in a crash, or repaired for the same issue twice?

| Nov 2020 | WHEELS | WE HAVE A 2018 TESLA MODEL 3, PURCHASED NEW IN LATE JULY 2018, WHICH CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 32,000 MILES. WE HAVE NOW HAD 8 FLAT TIRES IN THE SPAN OF 26 MONTHS OR ON AVERAGE ONE EVERY 4,000 MILES, ALL BY PUNCTURE. WE LIVE AND DRIVE IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. OUR OTHER VEHICLES HAVE GONE 10+ YEARS WITHOUT A FLAT TIRE SO THE TESLA FLAT TIRES ARE NOT DUE TO THE AREA WE LIVE IN.. ON OUR TESLA WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 7 TIRES, 5 WITH ASSISTANCE FROM MICHELIN AT A TOTAL OUT OF POCKET COST OF ABOUT $2,000. PLUS MUCH TIME, PAIN AND SUFFERING. THE FLAT TIRE ISSUE IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AS TESLA SPECS AND DELIVERS THE CAR WITH MICHELIN 235/45R18XL 98W MIC PRIMACY TIRES THAT ARE PRONE TO PUNCTURE DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, THE LOW PROFILE SOFT RUBBER TIRE AND THE CAR DOES NOT COME WITH A SPARE TIRE. WE HAVE TALKED AT LENGTH WITH TESLA SERVICE AND THEY ADMIT THAT THE CAR IS A 'FLAT TIRE MAGNET' AS IT IS ONE OF THE HEAVIEST VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, THE LOW PROFILE PERFORMANCE TIRES ARE PUNCTURE PRONE AND FLAT TIRES ARE THE MOST COMMON REPAIR. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO GETTING A FLAT IN AN AREA WITH POOR CELL PHONE COVERAGE, WHICH MEANS YOU ARE BASICALLY HITCH HIKING. ON 2 OCCASIONS WE WERE ON A FREEWAY IN THE FAST OR SECOND LANE WHEN THE PUNCTURE OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SLOWED DOWN WITH ALARMS SCREECHING FORCING DRIVERS BEHIND US TO PASS ON THE RIGHT PRECLUDING US FROM PULLING OVER FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, WHICH DESTROYED THE FLAT TIRE, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND LEFT MY WIFE AND I TERRIFIED. WE NO LONGER TRUST THE VEHICLE FOR TRIPS OUTSIDE OF OUR IMMEDIATE AREA. | Crash: No Fire: No | 32,000 |

NO AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED, NO SIGN OF A COLLISION. JUST THE USUAL TESLA WHOMPY WHEEL FEATURE. MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE SHODDILY BUILT DEATH-TRAPS.

| Oct 2020 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | THERE IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE ON TESLA FORUMS REGARDING WATER ACCUMULATING IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THIS HAD LEAD TO THE REAR BUMPER COMING OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON THE STREET. ONLY RECENTLY DID TESLA RELEASE A SURVIVE BULLETIN ABOUT IT. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT FIX THE CAR UNLESS SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS FIRST. I BELIEVE MY CAR, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS, ARE AFFECTED. MY CAR LEAKS A LOT OF WATER IN THE GARAGE AFTER COMING HOME FROM A RAINY DAY. I HAVE TO LINE MY GARAGE FLOOR WITH TOWELS TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE TO THE WALLS THERE IS SO MUCH WATER. I AM AFRAID I WILL BE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE BUMPER WILL COME OFF. I BELIEVE TESLA SHOULD FIX THE KNOWN ISSUE NOW BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS, NOT AFTER THE FACT. THIS IS UNSAFE. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2020 | SEAT BELTS,SEATS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | DRIVING ON RURAL DIRT ROAD. DUST COMING IN FROM REAR SEAT BOTTOM, TRUNK, SEAT BELT HOLES. SO MUCH DUST IT IS UNBEARABLE, CAN'T BREATHE AND HARD TO KEEP EYES OPEN WHILE DRIVING. | Crash: No Fire: No | 48,000 |
| Oct 2020 | WHEELS | THIRD PARTY PRODUCT CALLED AN ALLOY GATOR (HTTPS://ALLOYGATOR.COM/US/) WHICH IS SOLD BY ALLOY GATOR NORTH AMERICA (US OFFICE 9035 DEARBORN AVE, BLAINE, WA 90238) TEL 1=855=534-2867 PARTIALLY DETACHED FROM MY WHEEL WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, BEGAN FLYING AROUND, AND SMACKED INTO MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR, REAR QUARTER PANEL AND REAR BUMPER. IT THEN SNAPPED OFF AND SHOT AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE LIKE A HIGH SPEED PROJECTILE. THE PRODUCT CONTAINS NO WARNINGS ABOUT THE RISK OF THIS HAPPENING, SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED, AND IT COULD VERY WELL HAVE HURT A PERSON OR PROPERTY WHEN IT SNAPPED OFF AT HIGH SPEED. THE PRODUCT IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO BE SOLD IN THE U.S. ATTACHING PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED AS WELL AS A PHOTO OF THE REMAINING PART OF THE ALLOY GATOR AS IT APPEARED ON MY WHEEL AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 36,000 |
| Oct 2020 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | TWICE IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS, WHILE ON AUTOPILOT, THE CAR HAS DECELERATED SPONTANEOUSLY AND DANGEROUSLY AT THE SAME SPOT ON THE FREEWAY. THE FIRST TIME ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR IN BACK OF ME HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND SWERVE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. LUCKILY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY. MY CAR HAD JUST PASSED UNDER A LARGE OVERPASS AND WAS NEAR PASSING UNDER POWER LINES. I REPORTED THIS TO TESLA VIA THE VOICE ACTIVATED 'BUG REPORT' FEATURE WITHIN SECONDS OF THE OCCURRENCE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 22,006 |
| Oct 2020 | AIR BAGS | RECENTLY WE SEE A WARNING 'FRONT PASSENGER SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAULT/CONTACT TESLA SERVICE' I.E THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY INITIALLY THOUGHT THIS COULD BE A BUG. TRIED RESETTING THE SYSTEM BUT NOT GOING AWAY. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2020 | STRUCTURE,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | THE REAR TRUNK LID POPPED OPEN BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE, AND I DID NOT POP THE TRUNK LID. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE TRUNK LID CAN NOT BE OPENED BY THE OCCUPANTS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE SELECTION ON THE SCREEN IS NOT AVAILABLE, THE TRUNK 'BUTTON' IS NOT ACCESSIBLE ON THE SCREEN WHILE IN MOTION. THERE IS NO MECHANICAL RELEASE. WHEN THE TRUNK OPENED, IT CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO BECOME UNAVAILABLE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 24,000 |
| Sep 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER | THE BACKUP CAMERA AND SIDE VIEW CAMERAS ARE INTERMITTENTLY NOT DISPLAYING WHILE REVERSING. THE CAMERA DISPLAYS THE TRAJECTORY LINES, HOWEVER, THE IMAGE IS TOTALLY BLACK. THERE IS NO CAMERA FEED. THIS PROBLEM HAS REMAINED, DESPITE SEVERAL SOFTWARE UPDATES. THE CAMERA AT TIMES WILL FREEZE ON A PREVIOUS IMAGE, NOT THE CURRENT 'LIVE' IMAGE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 24,000 |
| Sep 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | AFTER ENTERING MY VEHICLE AND INITIATING A TRIP TO WORK RECENTLY IN THE LATE MORNING. I HAD ACTIVATED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO CLEAN MY FRONT WINDSHIELD AND AFTER TRAVELING LESS THAN A BLOCK I HEARD A CRACK LIKE POP SOUND EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HAD IMPACTED THE GLASS AND SUDDENLY A 4 INCH CRACK APPEARED IN THE THE TOP MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD STARTED THE PROCESS OF CLEANING MY WINDSHIELD WHILE I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN HAD PROCEEDED TO ENTER MY COMMUNITY STREET ON MY WAY TO WORK AND BEFORE I HAD LEFT MY LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD, APPROXIMATELY LESS THAN 200 FEET THE CRACK HAD OCCURRED AND I HADN'T EVEN ACCELERATED PAST 15-20 MPH. I THOUGH IT STRANGE THAT THIS HAPPENED AS THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES MOVING IN THE VICINITY AT THE TIME AND ALL I COULD THINK WAS POSSIBLY THAT THE GLASS WAS SUPER HEATED AND THE SPRINKLING OF WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD TO WASH IT WITH THE WIPERS MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT? IT WAS A VERY BIZARRE OCCURRENCE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 9,000 |
| Sep 2020 | AIR BAGS | MY WIFE IS 5 FEET TALL AND WEIGHS 90 POUNDS. WHEN SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR DISPLAYS OFF.

THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS FAILING AT ALL TIMES WHEN SHE IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.. | Crash: No Fire: No | 20,000 |
