What the Tesla records can tell us

The Tesla profiles cover 5 nameplates and 43 model-year entries. The matched source records contain 12,904 submitted complaints across 43 model-year entries. The count does not adjust for vehicle sales or time on the road.

Forward Collision Avoidance: Adaptive Cruise Control leads the displayed component tags with 2,779 mentions. One complaint can name several components. The tags describe submitted reports, not the chance of a repair.

The matched records contain 86 unique vehicle recall campaigns across 502 recall/model-year entries. A campaign can cover several model years. Recall remedies are separate from a paid service contract. Recall and complaint archives were retrieved 2026-10-18. The 2,948 manufacturer communications retain the 2026-09-03 source snapshot; they were not refreshed with those archives.

Vehicle age, mileage, state and configuration can change eligibility and price. Open the exact model-year profile first, then keep those details identical when comparing contracts on Chaiz.
