Let me begin by saying, refrain from purchasing a vehicle from this place because you WILL regret it! So, spare yourself the headache and go elsewhere. This place is the worst car dealership I've ever encountered.
One of my biggest regrets (I write this review late because this situation took A LOT out of me and having to write this and relive it is something I've been avoiding because of how traumatic it was to me) but here goes...my red flag should've been the moment I walked in and wasn't greeted by anyone at all, it wasn't until I sarcastically said "anyone working here today?" That someone came to us... I purchased a Tesla from OttoSource by salesman, Jahari on 05/21/2022 (DATES ARE IMPORTANT) I encountered my first issue on 06/20 (1 day before having it for a month) because I paid $5k I believe it was for additional coverage/warranty having its first issue wasn't a big deal because I was grateful to myself that I did get that additional warranty (3rd party) purchased from Otto Source that they sell you when buying a car.
The issue with the car was it randomly did not want to charge anymore. And because Tesla uses energy even when you are not using the vehicle, the battery life completely died. So then we had to get a tow truck to come and get it and take it to Tesla for $200. We took it to Tesla on 07/07 and was told they needed to replace the battery THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART OF A TESLA. Tesla told us the warranty on the car itself by Tesla was expired but again, we were ok with it because we had purchased additional warranty by OttoSource, which they sold us and put in a claim for the battery. The 3rd party then told us they did indeed cover the battery and all we had to do was pay $10k upfront to Tesla and with the receipt they would reimburse us. So like idiots, we did but what choice did we have? We just put $10k as a down payment on the car, and we felt like we didn't have much of a choice. We gave the 3rd party the receipt and received an email stating they do not cover batteries. So now, I'm balling my eyes out because I just dropped $20k on a car I just purchased not even a month ago and the situation I was in shouldn't have been the case in the first place. So now I have every emotion you can think of fueling my body, from anger, to sadness, to disappointment, to regret. Fast-forward Tesla then had the car till 08/16 when they finally gave it back to us. [Side note: I still hadn't received the license plates for the car either and the paper plates were about to expire in a day or so.] The following day after I pick up the car and wake up to once again more issues: Key fob not in vehicle service: 08/17, 08/20 flood in DFW caused bottom of car to come apart, spoke to Tesla service & stated it was a $200 cost to fix, 8/21 both pedals pressed down did not want to come up service: 08/22, 08/23 break lights would not turn off while parked/away from vehicle.
At this point I've given up and I don't even care for this car anymore all my energy depleted because of the car I bought from OttoSource. It finally came to my mind to speak to my father about the situation since I finally remembered him being a car salesman. I spoke to him and he instantly told me "they sold you a Lemmon car" if you don't know what that means, Google it. And he told me I needed to get an attorney involved but to call the dealership and let them know what's been going on. So, I finally call OttoSource and spoke to "manager" Rogerick on 8/23 and was told they could do a trade in but I would lose the 10k down payment and that just wasn't ok with me. Since I just spent $25k on this vehicle and I cant drive it for even a week without issues constantly happening. I told him I would have to get a lawyer involved in which he stated "well all a lawyer is going to do is side with you to take your money." At that point I just hung up.
I just hope this never happens to anyone, it was really draining and exhausting. Caused so many arguments with my husband and I just don't wish this upon anyone. read more
