Defective on-board computers, rattling, charging problems: many Tesla drivers complain about quality defects.

Now the frustrated customers of the Californians strike back.

  • With a market value equivalent to 346 billion euros,

    Tesla is

    the most valuable car manufacturer in the world.

  • In the past, however, complaints about

    quality defects increased

    .

  • Disappointed Tesla drivers no longer want to accept this and are demanding

    compensation

    .

Munich.

The electric car pioneer

Tesla

has really cleared away in the past few months.

While manufacturers such as

Volkswagen

or

BMW

had to accept significant sales losses

due to

Corona

, the Californians have just achieved another record quarter.

On the stock exchange, too,

Tesla shares

have long since boiled off the competition.

With a market capitalization of around 345 billion euros,

Tesla is

now worth around three times as much as the German car makers

BMW

,

Daimler

and

VW

combined.

That is quite astonishing.

Because the Californians are apparently still struggling with massive quality problems.

It wasn't until the beginning of October that a video of a

Tesla

Model Y

caused a sensation on the web.

Californian cardiologist Walter Chien was on his way home with his family when suddenly the roof came off and flew over the highway.

The incident is by no means an isolated incident.

With the

Model Y in

particular,

there are apparently countless problems, from loose seat belts and unfastened rear seats to gaps where VW boss

Herbert Diess

would quickly ask his production director for a six-eye conversation in the HR department.

Tesla: Quick-and-dirty-installation causes excitement on the web

The

Tesla

fitters recently

shot the bird

with a quick-and-dirty installation.

Because a few parts were apparently in short supply and the end of the quarter was near, the assembly line workers unceremoniously lashed a cooling condenser in the engine compartment with lumber and plastic belt.

"They drove to the home depot and bought a few things so that they could manage the Q2 figures," the demoralized owner ranted in the forum of the

Tesla

Motors Club

at the beginning of September

, setting off an avalanche.

Within a few hours, numerous

Tesla

owners posted similar pictures.

Tesla: E-car manufacturer threatens headwinds from frustrated customers

In view of the quality deficiencies, the Californians are facing headwinds not only in the USA.

Just a few weeks ago, disappointed

Tesla

fans in the Netherlands called for mobilization.

Dissatisfied drivers can report to "Teslaclaim.nl".

Tesla

, it says on the website, “sold cars with the promise that they are practically maintenance-free”.

In addition, the company poses as a “service-oriented brand”.

The reality, however, looks very different, it says with reference to a brand-typical list of defects.

Well-known errors include defective computers, broken lights, removable decorative strips, rattling when accelerating or charging problems.

In addition, there are always doors that can no longer be opened, reduced performance values ​​and ranges as well as workshop visits where not all known problems are resolved.

Tesla: class action website hits a nerve

The

operator apparently hit a nerve

with the website for frustrated

Tesla

drivers.

Tesla

claim attorney

Sieger Suurbier

told Merkur.de *

that 91 dissatisfied customers had already reported within a few days

.

The deficiencies mainly occur in Model P, but are not limited to this model.

“There is not a single series that works properly,” Suurbier.

Therefore, one now wants to bundle the interests of the injured Tesla drivers.   

“We want to reach an

out-of-court

settlement

agreement

with

Tesla

”.

If that doesn't work, Surrbier announced that they will go to court.

Important note: Of course, the editorial team would have

liked to ask

Tesla

to comment on the allegations.

However, the group recently closed its PR department.

Therefore, unfortunately, we cannot take the company's position into account here.

We regret that.
