Statement Regarding My 2025 Tesla Model 3 Accident I was driving my 2025 Tesla Model 3 when the accelerator pedal appeared to become stuck, causing the vehicle to continue accelerating. The vehicle reached approximately 70 mph, and I was unable to regain control. I attempted to stop the vehicle by applying the brakes, but the brakes felt hard or would not respond, and the vehicle would not stop as expected. I was driving the vehicle myself and was not using Autopilot or Full Self-Driving. Because I could not bring the vehicle to a stop, I collided with three other cars. I believe the suspected accelerator and braking malfunction contributed to the accident. The police responded to the accide

This vehicle doesn't come with a turn signal stalk. To engage the turn signal, I have to use push-buttons on the steering wheel. Nearly every time I use them, I get the wrong direction, even after a year of ownership. It's functionally impossible to use them legally to exit a roundabout, and I really want you to reflect, it is impossible to use them to legally exit a roundabout -- I can not obey the law using them. It's functionally impossible. Additionally, they're too close to the edge of the steering wheel, causing light brushes to trigger a false turn signal, confusing nearby drivers. About 8 to 9 out of 10 turn signals I make are false or in the incorrect direction. This feature is dang

October 12, 2026Unknown or Other

I am reporting concerns involving the high-voltage battery and battery management system (BMS) of my 2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD. The vehicle's displayed range at 100% charge has progressively declined from approximately 320 miles to 304, then 298, and most recently approximately 295 miles. A previous Tesla Battery Health Test reported approximately 89% battery health. However, the vehicle currently will not allow me to perform another Battery Health Test, leaving its present battery condition unknown. I am concerned that additional degradation or an underlying battery or BMS issue may be going undetected. Tesla instructed me to perform a BMS calibration by discharging the battery belo
