Tesla didn’t keep its 8-year warranty promise
Stating that the motor and battery units are leakproof, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that water ingress is not possible in Tesla model vehicles.
Stating that he used the 2014 model Tesla Model S vehicle during the torrential rain, Howei said, “My vehicle was completely turned off while driving on September 7, 2021. Around 2:00 pm, I felt a rumble while I was on the Long Island Highway. The car was unresponsive and luckily I survived without an accident. When I went to the Tesla service, it turned out that the drive unit was water damaged and needed to be replaced. ” he said.
Stating that the authorized service refused to repair the vehicle under warranty free of charge, Howei stated that the technician told that it is possible to enter the drive system of the vehicle in rainy weather.
Claiming that the 8-year drive unit warranty was ignored, Howei said, “I had a discussion with the tech and service center manager, who refused to honor the warranty and even suggested that I tell my insurance company that the car was flooded. ” said.
The company has not yet made an official statement on the subject.
