- crisdux 6y agoIn most states the manufacturer must be given reasonable opportunity to fix the problem. For how drastic the roof falling off is, I don't think lemon laws grant consumers the ability to just turn in a defected car.
- jacquesm 6y agoI think it should though. Clearly, the company selling those vehicles is not capable of delivering what the consumer expected. "Roof Fell Off" is not a checkbox on the consumer quality reports, and it never should be.

The Chiens declined to have the Model Y serviced, instead choosing to return it altogether. Tesla also gave the owners the option of a repair or to just to get a different new one.
- ashtonkem 6y agoI’d want a completely different type of vehicle after such a scary incident.
