Please bare with me as I’m not the brightest…

Bought a brand new Tesla, developed a series of faults and reported within 14 days, but Tesla couldn’t fix them.

Car has now been with them 6 weeks, and allegedly fixed in next day or so.

Car bought 9th August

Faults reported 16th August

First try to rectify 30th August

Back in 12th September until now, lower spec courtesy car provided

Fault was pretty major, floor pan flexing and popping from drivers seat mounts, rectification is apparently sprayable foam.between floor and fixings.

Too long a time without the car I paid for, and too major a fault for me to be happy with.

Finance company been informed but they said can’t do anything as Tesla said it must be rejected within 14 days.

In terms understandable for a 7 year old, what can I do now?

Didn't you post this within the last week? I distinctly remember somebody saying that on a Tesla the seats bolt directly to the battery and hence this was a serious concern.

Why post again?

I purchased a new Ford Explorer EV which stopped working after a few days so Ford reacquired the first vehicle and replaced it with second new vehicle with identical specification. I'm not saying it was painless but so far so good. Can you get Tesla to do this?

Strange, I haven’t knowingly posted this again.

Tesla are wrong ( I rejected a new 911 recently ).

You have a range of rejection periods and proofs.

You are in the first period which is 30 days.

The car has a material fault. You have a right to reject.

The clock stops when the car is with the dealer. The car has been in twice and is currently with them. You don't say how long the first period was.

Write rejection letter today. If you have already sent and Tesla say you are wrong tell them you are right.

Except the original post said he purchased the car through his company.
