Tesla has a new lawsuit on its hands in Canada. While some common complaints have come up in the past in relation to the Tesla Model 3’s paint job, the most recent ones led to legal action. The complaints, brought forth by a man named Jean-François Bellerose, focus on some glaring problems with the paint job on the Model 3. Let’s look at some of the details.
According to recent reports from Car Complaints, “Plaintiff Jean-François Bellerose owns a black 2019 Tesla Model 3 and claims he noticed peeling paint on the bottoms of the doors and body, and this was less than a year of the car being in use.” Many people might be wondering why Bellerose didn’t simply contact Tesla directly to resolve the issue. Well, he did. And it turns out that the warranty fails to cover the paint issues described.
As a matter of fact, one of Bellerose’s main problems is that the paint job should last far beyond the warranty terms. After all, with most modern vehicles, such a lifespan is expected. In any case, the Model 3 owner went on to highlight the fact that he’s only owned his vehicle for six months. Near the release date of the Model 3, Tesla acknowledged some potential paint problems. However, drivers like Bellerose are taking matters into their own hands with lawsuits.
