Buyback program question.
I want to preface this by saying I’m a huge fan of Tesla and the broader mission. I’ve owned and currently own multiple EVs and genuinely like the brand. That said, I bought a 2025 Model 3 Highland in December 2024, and it’s been problem after problem since then. Repeated service center visits, mid-level build quality issues, seats literally falling apart, ongoing camera and camera housing problems, and the front windshield has cracked twice in three weeks after replacement. At this point it feels less like bad luck and more like I got a lemon. For anyone who’s gone through Tesla’s buyback/lemon process: How did it actually play out for you? Was it a nightmare or relatively straightforward? Did Tesla push you into a replacement vehicle, or did you get a cash buyback? How long did the process take end to end? Not trying to trash the company. I still believe in the product and the mission. I’m just trying to understand what the real-world experience looks like when you hit the edge case where a car is clearly not meeting basic reliability expectations.
