The owner says on Twitter – Tesla chief Elon Musk’s favorite medium – the following: “I was lucky that no car was driving behind me when my steering wheel detached from the steering column.” The owner was able to get the new car to a safe stop. Shortly after the malfunction, the owner of the less-than-week-old Tesla Model Y contacted the Tesla Service Center. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n @elonmusk<\/a> @TeslaOwnersWW<\/a> @BLKMDL3<\/a> Family was excited to receive Tesla Y delivery on 1\/24\/2023. Was driving on highway and all the sudden steering wheel fall off, was lucky enough there was no car behind and I was able to pull on devider #SafetyFirst<\/a> #Fixit<\/a> #TeslaModelY<\/a> #help<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/4UMokFA2cv<\/a><\/p>\n – Prerak (@preneh24) January 30, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Incidentally, this is not the first time a steering wheel has come loose on a Tesla. It has happened before. Of course, these are incidental cases, but the fact that it happens is, of course, unintentional. The owner of the Model Y has lost faith in Tesla, he indicated on Twitter. But Tesla has no return policy.<\/p>\n The brand did not send the man flowers or a letter of apology after the incident. Indeed, the man was even sent a bill by Tesla customer service. The man had to transfer $103.93, to repair the steering wheel of his one-week-old car….<\/p>\n @elonmusk<\/a> Am I responsible for manufacturing defect? It’s not even week and getting bill for faulty steering wheel. Isn’t it company’s responsibility to fix it? I would greatly appreciate refund and keep the car as we lost trust and family is not feeling safe driving it back. pic.twitter.com\/7ZsO4ZiXNow<\/a><\/p>\n – Prerak (@preneh24) January 30, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\n
