The California Lemon Law (Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act) protects consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts. If your car qualifies as a lemon, you may be entitled to a refund, replacement, or cash compensation.
Your Tesla may qualify as a lemon if: 1) The defect is substantial and affects safety, value, or use, 2) The Tesla dealership has had a reasonable number of repair attempts, 3) The issue is covered under the original Tesla warranty
California law does not specify an exact number, but generally: At least two repairs for serious safety defects (like brake or airbag failures), Four or more repair attempts for the same issue, or if the Tesla has been in the shop for 30+ days (cumulative).
Yes, as long as the car was sold or leased with a Tesla warranty and meets California's Lemon Law requirements.
