Tesla Recalls Every Model S – IOTW Report

Tesla Recalls Every Model S

BreitbartCA: Tesla Motors stock wavered on November 20 after the company issued a voluntary worldwide recall to inspect every one of the 90,000 Model S cars the company has ever built.

After an owner in Europe reported that a front passenger belt physically separated from the seat, Tesla claims they inspected 3,000 vehicles to cover every production cycles since the first $100,000 Model S was first delivered in 2012. Tesla reported it found no similar problem across its entire production range.

But after being dubbed, “Model S electric car is the best performing car ever tested byConsumer Reports,” and being awarded “100 points,” Tesla decided, in an abundance of caution, to recall all 90,000 vehicles on the road to inspect front seat belts. Tesla said they have no concerns regarding seat belts in the rear of Model S.

Tesla has 69 Tesla service centers in the U.S., and Musk regularly states that 92 percent of all customers live within 100 miles of a service center. But the other 7,200 will have a long trip to get the inspection or they can wait until a traveling Tesla service ranger is in their more remote locations.

Tesla suggested an optional “do-it-yourself” seat belt diagnostic of pulling on the lap portion of the seat belt with at least 80 pounds.  more here

  1. Who the hell wants a $100K sports car that does not sound like a sports car? The short answer is progtards and tree hugging idiots, but I digress. For less than half the money, I got my better half the car of her dreams. It is quick, nimble and sounds like a real sports car. She details it weekly. I told her, tongue in cheek, she was going to rub the paint off cleaning it so much.

  2. I passed a tesla S with Washington listence plates and a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker a month ago on interstate 90 between Gillette and Buffalo Wyoming.

    He was at least 3 days journey from Washington state, Montucky sucks bad enough when you cross it in one day (kidding).

    Just amazed me that this f..ktard actually thought that such a thing (as a Tesla) would exist in the Berns utopia when he thinks that 23 varieties of underarm deodorant is the reason we have poverty.

    Morons, pure and simple

  3. Well I just looked and it would take 19 hours to fully charge a Tesla on standard 15 amp service. Of course they recommend upgrading. But if you keep the standard 15 amp service your “fuel” bill will never exceed around $4 per day because there aren’t enough hours in a day to charge it more. Yay, progress.

  4. I had to use the NASCAR push to get one out of the fast lane on a 5% grade doing maybe 35mph yesterday. My Durmax was cruising at a comfortable 80 mph with out breathing hard. Maybe his extension cord came unplugged

  5. So when we have all these autonomous (driverless) cars, who pays the insurance in accident claims? There’s no driver fault. Oh gee Google, looks like y’all have a payment or 2 to make.

  6. “92 percent of all customers live within 100 miles of a service center.”

    Unless they take their new Tesla home on a roll-back wrecker, they are lucky to be able to drive 100 miles on one charge. Of course they live within 100 miles. Fck’n idiots.
