Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Reproducible and sudden loss of indicated driving range at low state of charge (SOC) for 6 months. First documented occurrence on 9 September 2025 during my final service visit while the vehicle was still covered under Tesla’s 8-year unlimited-mile high-voltage battery warranty, at which time no corrective action was taken. After repeated documented low-SOC range collapses, back to service on 13 November 2025. Tesla acknowledged the fault, verified the condition with diagnostics and customer provided screenshots, and stated that CAN log data indicated the Battery Management System (BMS) was not calculating SOC correctly. Tesla replaced the BMS assembly under warranty as a continuation of the original issue and advised that the vehicle would need to be driven and charged for recalibration. Following this repair, I completed multiple full charge cycles to 100% and allowed time for recalibration. Despite this, the issue persisted with 100% reproducibility, with rapid loss of available range after driving and then parking when the vehicle indicated approximately 14–17 miles remaining. This condition resulted in a near-stranding event involving my family, including three young children, due to the unexpected loss of usable range without warning. I returned the vehicle again on 10 December 2025 to the Tesla Service Center in El Paso for the same unresolved issue. Tesla declined to perform low-SOC diagnostic or drive-down testing, instead stating the behavior was normal and required further recalibration despite prior calibration attempts and a failed warranty repair. Tesla has since stated that the vehicle is now out of warranty and has attempted to reclassify this unresolved condition as goodwill rather than treating it as a continuation of the original in-warranty defect. This condition presents a safety risk due to sudden and unexpected loss of usable driving range at low SOC, creating a risk of vehicle stranding.
THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA BATTERIES WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF AN NHTSA INVESTIGATION. I DO NOT HAVE INFORMATION ON THE ACTUAL VIN OF THE CAR IN QUESTION SO I HAVE HAD TO SUBSTITUTE THE VIN FROM ONE OF THE MANY TESLAS IN A JUNKYARD. HERE IS A REPORT FROM A TESLA OWNER IN AUSTRALIA WHO IS GETTING EVEN WORSE SERVICE THAN IS NORMAL FOR TESLA. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/WARRANTY-DOES-ANYONE-HAVE-THEIR-WARRANTY-TERMS-FROM-2017.172151/ *** SNIP*** WARRANTY - DOES ANYONE HAVE THEIR WARRANTY TERMS FROM 2017 DISCUSSION IN 'AUSTRALIA' STARTED BY CSL2C3000, TODAY AT 6:36 PM. LOCATION: MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA CSL2C3000, TODAY AT 6:36 PM HI, I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WHICH RELATES TO LOW VOLTAGE AND SO I'VE SPOKEN TO TESLA WHO'VE SAID THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW BATTERY PACK AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THEY LOOKED AT REMOTE LOGS AND CONCLUDED THIS WITHOUT AN INSPECTION. THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT IS $50K INC AND THERE APPEARS TO BE NO POTENTIAL FOR A SINGLE BATTERY BANK TO BE AT FAULT (BASED UPON WHAT THEY'VE SAID). THEY'VE QUOTED THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE WARRANTY TO ME BUT MY LEGAL GUYS SAY THAT THE TERMS THAT APPLY ARE THOSE THAT APPLIED WHEN THE CAR WAS SOLD, NOT THE CURRENT TERMS. THEY'VE ASKED ME TO TRY TO TRACK DOWN THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THE CAR IS A CP 04/17, BUILT 07/17, TESLA, MODEL X, 75D. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS A WARRANTY FROM 2017? SPECIFICALLY THE CLAUSE RELATED TO BATTERY PACK WARRANTY. THANKING YOU ****** I BELIEVE THAT YOUR INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER TESLAS THAT HAVE BEEN SOLD OUTSIDE OF USA. THESE BATTERY FAILURES AND POTENTIAL FIRE RISKS APPLY TO ALL TESLAS SOLD ACROSS THE WORLD. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. CONCERNED CITIZEN ETC.
BATTERY RANGE HAS SIGNIFICANTLY AND SUDDENLY DROPPED. WHILE TESLA HAS STATED THIS IS 'NORMAL BATTERY DEGRADATION,' IT APPEARS THROUGH RESEARCH THIS MAY BE SOFTWARE LIMITED, DUE TO RECENT BATTERY FIRES WHICH ARE LIFE THREATENING. INSTEAD OF ADMITTING THE SAFETY ISSUE, RECALLING THE BATTERY, AND ENSURING A SAFER BATTERY IS INSTALLED, TESLA IS UPDATING SOFTWARE OPAQUELY. THIS IS FOR A MODEL X 75D WITH A 75 KWH BATTERY, AND SEEMS TO HAVE BEGUN WITH FIRMWARE 2019.32 ONWARD.
TESLA MODEL X P100D THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SNAPPED IN HALF. WAS AT A DEAD STOP AND DID A FULL ACCELERATION RUN. CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING. I PULLED OVER TO SHOULDER AND STOPPED. WASN'T QUITE SURE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AT FIRST THEN SAW THE PEDAL LAYING ON THE FLOOR. HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP
