Common Problems: TESLA MODEL 3
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Upper Control Arm Failure(Moderate)
The front upper control arms frequently develop a loud squeaking or "old bed spring" creaking noise due to water ingress into the ball joint. This is very common in the UK due to wet weather and road salt.
- Heat Pump / Sensor Failure (SB-22-18-002)(Serious)
2021 and early 2022 "refresh" models with heat pumps can experience a loss of heating in winter. This is often caused by faulty refrigerant pressure sensors (Recall SB-22-18-002) which can fail and prevent the compressor from operating correctly.
