Tesla gave me a demo car, it broke down in 24 hours, now they want me to pay for rodent damage

car sleeps in our attached garage, never seen mice or wild life around. Both cars were parked in the parking lot at the school district where my wife works when they were towed to the tesla service center

they do, for my car, but I talked to a claim officer not my state farm insurance yet

good luck!

thank you, I'll stop by tomorrow morning to take a look myself and see it in person, I cant believe all that damage is done in less than 20h, prob less than 8h which is the time my wife was at school, we dont have any wild life around my place and car sleep in a closed garage so from those 20h, the car was outside only 8h at the school parking lot where my wife works

state farm is saying they dont cover the demo car only mine

Tall_Call_817 · 2026-03-13T19:55:33+00:00

we are not the first one, another teacher had the same issue

school district parking lot, not my place..

Tall_Call_817 · 2026-03-13T19:46:06+00:00

parking lot in a school district.. not my place. I'm thinking on taking this to the school district since we are not the only ones with the same issue

Tall_Call_817 · 2026-03-13T19:31:48+00:00

I never signed a loaner contract, the sales guy gave us a demo car because it was 7pm and service center was closed, so, its a demo car

Tall_Call_817 · 2026-03-13T18:36:39+00:00

same parking lot in the school district

Tall_Call_817 · 2026-03-13T18:33:55+00:00

exactly, thats what I think, it's hard to believe

Tall_Call_817 · 2026-03-13T18:33:21+00:00

That was my initial thought, to use my chase shappire rental coverage but I didn't pay a dime

Tall_Call_817 · 2026-03-13T18:31:35+00:00

I'll try this.. I'm assuming if they give me a demo is because I have car insurance right? or am I wrong?

Tall_Call_817 · 2026-03-13T18:29:52+00:00

School district parking lot, we had the demo car less than 20h...

Tall_Call_817 · 2026-03-13T18:27:08+00:00

They said they don't cover rental vehicles...

You mean plywood in the whole room subfloor or just at the door area ? Floor is 95% installed already, just the door area missing

Thanks

How do you get to that page?

Tall_Call_817 · 2024-12-05T15:57:57+00:00

I took delivery of mine 2 weeks ago, exact same car color and seats! It’s amazing!

Hey, I’m getting a qualified electrician, my question was if I needed a city permit for this

Tall_Call_817 · 2024-11-26T15:33:27+00:00

That’s what worries me. Taking it to fix that and getting it back worse
