Problems from day one of ownership...

semi long post )  So I have an update to a post I’ve made about a month ago and relative to my model S that I have bought at the beginning of January all the problems. I’m having that I thought stemmed from a car wash .looks like it’s true because Thursday I had taken the vehicle back to the judge for the third time for the same exact issue even though earlier this week I had to pay a 2500+ a dollar repair bill for what they thought was the soul cause of why I kept having the same exact codes come up on the vehicle. Codes are Car may not be able to restart services required. Acceleration may be reduce, etc.. I’ll attach a picture of all the codes of the car is throwing and what I’ve been dealing with when I took delivery of the car 12 hours later when it came off the trailer and I went and had it washed.  Now yesterday the dealer finds what they tell me is a soul cause of a problem and they’re saying that is the 22 inch rims that came on the car when I purchased it I believe the car is a staggered set up 21 in the front 22 in the back, but they’re saying that the passenger side front tire is rubbing against the rear fender liner of the car and it’s making tears and the actual fender liner and it’s exposing the wires and the rapid harness splitter for those wires needs to be replaced and they’re recommending that I replace all four tires and wheels with the original tires and wheels and that there is also an aftermarket ride height sensor that apparently allows a vehicle to go lower than factory OEM suspension sensor and they’re recommending I change that as well that. To me this makes somewhat sense because it explains why when I got the vehicle and I went to have it watched the next day. The Codes automatically started throwing because of those wires are exposed then it’s not gonna take much for water to get in there and start causing issues that also confirms the fact that this has been something that has been ongoing or has been a problem since before I took delivery of the vehicle as well as I’ve had a aftermarket warranty company look into it and they determined that the codes first started showing on January 22 well before the vehicle was in my possession as I took delivery of the car on January 30th At this point, I’m already looking into attorneys in California where the sale took place as I am in Miami, Florida and I’m looking specifically to start doing a rescission of sale. One because the vehicle has not been very reliable since I’ve gotten it and I barely been able to drive it to the dealership is not wanting to honor to the warranty that they have on the car it’s gotten to the point where I don’t want the car anymore as it is extremely unreliable.  I guess I’m coming to see you guys for a suggestions on what else do you think I could do? Also the dealership that’s over here servicing the car some of this is on them because after the third visit, you’re telling me you’re just now finding this is the issue of the car and you’ve had it for several weeks diagnosing over everything and supposedly doing a thorough investigation.  they’ve also confirmed to me this is only Happening on the passenger side front and not the the rears or the driver side. The Tesla dealer that is servicing it also seems to think this is why the original owner got rid of it because it was probably throwing these codes and he couldn’t figure out what was going on with it  PFA 2018 Tesla Model

Used cars are generally sold as-is in California. If you purchased from Tesla directly there may be some recourse but it's not very likely.

Who did you buy the vehicle from?

It’s not sold as it if there is a warranty on the vehicle. Regardless of the fact a selling licensed dealer can not just sell a merchantable vehicle that is one unreliable cannot function and proven to have had the issues that are showing on the car while it was still in their possession.

It sounds like after market parts issues and that’s probably going to get complex trying to get Tesla to cover it. I had the same problem way back on Jeep with after market parts. Maybe Tesla could help you show that those codes in the log would have shown up to the dealer that sold it and have some recourse there.

Dude. What warranty. Warranty will never cover damage caused by 3rd party accessories. Your only recourse is the Hyundai dealership you bought this from.

Is it just me or is this wheel not round ?
