I am lemoning my second Tesla in a couple hours. Part of the criteria was that they have attempted to fix rattles and squeaks multiple times and the issues keep returning and they keep causing additional issues when they attempt to repair the original issue. The vehicle keeps also falling apart. The wheel covers keep falling off because the clips keep breaking, even though there has been no damage that should have caused it. On the previous one they were about seven or eight repair attempts for the window failing to roll up so I was unable to secure the vehicle and they kept failing to provide loaners when it was in for service. This is for the model X and model S, which is supposed to be their “luxury” vehicles By the way, if you would like to lemon your Tesla, please read your purchase agreement for the email to send your request. You get back all of the interest, payments, tax, registration and everything.

  A comment replying to "Tesla is luxury" with "no it's not, mine keeps breaking" isn't unrelated. My 15-year-old Mercedes still looks brand new, luxury doesn't have a hard time keeping itself from falling apart.

    How does interior quality and plastic firmness relate to a lemon? Does your car get totaled when there's imperfection in a cupholder? Are you people are out of your mind?

      Man, please read the comment chain. "Tesla is premium" "actually it's shit, I got two bad ones" "completely unrelated post" "no it isn't". At this point it feels like you're misunderstanding the chain on purpose.

    Luxury and durability are mostly independent.

  Likely Lemon Law. Lemon laws are laws that provide a remedy for purchasers of cars and other consumer goods in order to compensate for products that repeatedly fail to meet standards of quality and performance. Although many types of products can be defective, the term "lemon" is mostly used to describe defective motor vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_law

  After some search I've found that a 'lemon' is a slang term for a defective product. https://www.wordsense.eu/lemoning/ https://www.wordsense.eu/lemoning/ It's number 5 here ^

    It's more of a legal term of art than a slang term at this point. It's written into the statutes in some states, e.g. in Florida: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0600-0699/0681/0681.html http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Displ...
