New 2021 model 3 issues
Has anyone else had many major issues with their new model 3?
Our model 3 was delivered on 1/9/21. As of the evening four days and less then 300 miles later. The rear park assist sensors are not working. The left headlight is not working. The rear passenger window is stuck partially down. I have had repeated alerts that the usb for sentry mode has come loose. When I plug it back in it feels like the plug in the car is very loose.
I really love this car and have waited a long time to buy one. I am so disappointed in the issues and hope this is not a sign of things to come. I have made two appointments with the service department and hopefully can get the window fixed tomorrow so we can use the car. It’s to cold for my kids to ride with the window open. Hoping we can ironing out these issues and have a better times ahead.

I will let you know what happens.
Tesla is great but they aren't perfect. In my 14 year experience as a Tesla customer: They have always made things right even if they slip up on occasion.
Tesla is going to replace the pump and manifold. I have had no other issues. You may be having some bad luck now, but i love my car so much, i recommend you hang in there until these issues are fixed. Good luck.

Enjoy your new car. It is absolutely amazing. Just over 2 year owner here and still feels like a new car to me especially after having to drive my mom's car around for her. Getting back into my car after that really shows how much better a Tesla is.

Why Tesla owners overlook the service issues.

OP, yes! I love Tesla service. Always been outstanding for me. SC or mobile tech.
His post was of problems and disappointment.

So why did you claim new car did not have major disabling problems in first four days with owner disappointed in poor build quality and apprehension about future service issues as he stated?

Go away troll. You are just upset that a customer got great service, all problems solved and is happy with his car.
Your posturing and lies cant make his happiness go away. You , however, can go away!
> Update. I got into the service center and they were able to replace the window regulator and a bad parking sensor. The left headlight connection was checked it may have been loose. The headlight functioned well last night. Great service for a last minute appointment. They completed everything in under 2 hours! Great staff to work with. I may love my car more now knowing the kind of service I can expect going forward. Thank you all for your encouragement. This is the first new car I have owned.
Thanks for getting back to us and great to hear you got your problems solved. Rest assured, as many, many other owners will tell you, Tesla have a great SC network and Rangers who come to your home for smaller issues. I have used them a couple of times and have had nothing but great experiences.
As a word of caution, ignore the famous trolls FISHEV and Howard who will do all they can to undermine your great purchase decision. They are paid shills.
Enjoy your vehicle and please come back and post more often!
The two issues my car had(front parking sensor and window regulator) are not signs of poor build quality but a sign that there are no perfect build processes.
The fact that Tesla took the problem so seriously and resolved it in less than 24 hours only strengthens my resolve to tell anyone that asks my opinion what the best car to purchase now is. A vehicle with far less maintenance required and a much better driving experience. Tesla
Thank you to everyone for the encouragement. I look forward to many happy miles ahead with this model three.
I hold out hope for a more work truck friendly version of the cyber truck. Flat bed with fifth wheel trailer towing capability.
Maybe mini Tesla semi??
