Tesla Owner Warned People Buying One Because His Car Powered Down After He Had Charged It For 8 Hours. – ‘It won’t respond to anything.’
by Matthew Gilligan
I’ve personally never been in one before, but I see quite a few people online complaining about how they’re not totally satisfied with their Tesla vehicles…
And here’s another one to add to the pile!
A TikTokker named Nate posted a video and talked to viewers about a big issue he’s having with his ride.
Nate told viewers, “Just in case you needed one more reason to not buy a Tesla, let me give it to you.”
He said that his Tesla Model Y was plugged in overnight and that when he went to drive the car in the morning, the charger wouldn’t come out of the vehicle.
He said, “The trunk is stuck open. None of the doors will work. I can’t get in my car. The Tesla app won’t work, won’t unlock the door, won’t respond.”
Nate added, “So now we have a dead Tesla sitting in our garage. Although, it’s not dead because it was charging all night. But for some reason, it won’t respond to anything. Sweet.”
Here’s the video.
@nateipsen Thanks Elon. Tesla Model Y charged all night but the car won’t wake up from a deep sleep, charging cable won’t come out, doors won’t open, and the app doesn’t do anything. #tesla #modely #teslamodely
Nate posted a follow-up video and showed viewers that he had to jumpstart the Tesla using his Ford Raptor to get it going again.
@nateipsen Replying to @Newoakwill510 forgive me for not knowing that the 12v battery would prevent the entire car from working even if the car is charged… #tesla #modely #teslamodely
Nate posted another TikTok video and said that he eventually got a message from his Tesla app that his car’s battery would need to be serviced soon.
@nateipsen Replying to @Arturo Arellano zero notifications from Tesla before it died, but now that it’s been jumped we’re getting notified that the 12v needs to be replaced. #tesla #modely #teslamodely
