Is Your Tesla A Lemon?
Your Tesla must have a substantial problem that interferes with its use, value, or safety to qualify as a lemon. It must also be covered by a written warranty like those that come with new or certified pre-owned vehicles that are either purchased or leased. Another prerequisite is that you give the manufacture or dealership the opportunity to fix the reported issue(s). Your vehicle may then qualify as a lemon if Tesla is unable to repair it after multiple attempts.
Defects In Tesla Vehicles That Can Warrant A Lemon Law Claim
You must show that your vehicle has a defect first to bring forward a lemon law case. These are some defects that Tesla models may have:
- Body problems, including roof panels that could detach
- Suspension defects
- Battery and electrical problems
- Brake system malfunction
- Brake light problems such as the vehicle not lighting trailer brake lights
- Airbag problems, including decomposition and risk of explosion
- Manufacturing problems with electric parking brakes
- Seatbelt connection problems
- Defective rear seats that could fold in a crash
- Unexpected autopilot problems

Your Tesla may qualify as a lemon if it has these or other problems.
