Tesla - Breach of Warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The entire bumper assembly fell off my Tesla Model 3 during the heavy rains on December 24. I didn't see it happen.

It was just missing. There is a history of this happening with this model when there is a lot of rain or you drive through a puddle. They admitted to this defect in 2020 and settled a lawsuit over the same issue in 2024, but claim it was fixed.

Apparently not. They are now telling me, 'We are unable to cover the repair under vehicle warranty because the condition was caused by outside factors,' i.e., water.

Loss:
$500
Pros:
  • Save on gasoline
Cons:
  • Shoddy workmanship

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not buy a Model 3
