Opinions on Tesla service

Opinions on Tesla service

I have come for opinions as I am new to the platform and all that comes with it, including service. So, I want to be reasonable but at the same time my own advocate for what should be expected.

I bought a 26 M3P on April 12, 2026. There is currently 300ish miles on the car, no damage events either. Accel pedal starts flagging a bunch of errors, shuts car down. Car goes in for pedal replacement and is fine for a day. Next day, issue returns.

Car goes back this past Tuesday, goes in bay for an hour and has been outside since. Service claims they’re doing remote diagnostics for several days and last night I’m told the physical inspection will start today. Is this standard even for brand new cars returning for repeat critical service or am I being jerked around a bit? Should I escalate to the regional service manager or just let it ride? I don’t want to be “that guy” but at the same time I don’t think it should’ve sat for 4 days now without being at least diagnosed but maybe that’s normal for Tesla.

So I had the accel pedal replaced for this issue yesterday and then wallah it’s back yet again. It’s back in for a more in depth diagnostic this time but I’m super curious what the heck this is. Car has 370 miles on it. Garage kept. 2026 model 3 performance in south Florida.

Been battling an apparent voltage discrepancy on my brand new M3P. Not sure if it’s wiring, the pedal itself or some power issue caused by god knows what. It’s started about a week after getting it home for no apparent reason. Can’t even get in for 2 weeks and Tesla isn’t really trying to help me get a vehicle or transportation in the meantime. Any tips on what I can do?

I’m already sorted out for service. Just curious how many of you have dealt with this issue and needed a new pedal assembly or associated wiring harness? And did it resolve the issue long-term.

Hello Reddit it’s me again. Dealt with a stupid firmware glitch yesterday as confirmed by Tesla support. Went out tonight and heard this sound from the rear wheels. Wtf is it? Anyone heard it before and figured it out? Sounds like it’s coming from wheels but it could be rear motor for all I know as I’ve not heard it before. Thanks.

Leaving Costco I pulled out of the parking space and boom got the reduced power notification that quickly turned to the pull over immediately unable to drive notification. Car just croaked right there. I got out and walked away as it suggested and everything was fine. Drive home like nothing happened. Is this indicative of a problem that will reoccur or just a random glitch? Anyone else get this and it not come back again?
