Tesla fixing all of this and providing a loaner is 1,000x better than what Chevy did to me. Dealership lied to me and Chevy dragged their feet on warranty works.

That loose nut issue must be common for all of them, I saw a guy's CT in Florida that came loose on the highway and bent all the way up as the wind pushed it back on the highway. They bent it back and had it that way until they could get into service to have it fixed.

To tell the truth i rather go through service early as possibly before out of warranty, common problems is the control arms rattling sound or squeaky. My M3&Y had this problem first year just had another heater problem which shut the car down and battery won’t charge and it was out of warranty and this was a common problem on all 2018 M3 so i rather have them replace a new version parts which is better.

[@brendanmeyler1641]

The accelerator pedal getting stuck isn’t a recall exclusive to Tesla. One of the most notable companies that did such a recall was Toyota. It was due to floor mats easily working their way up to the accelerator pedal and causing them to be stuck down. Now all Toyota floor mats have a latch on them to keep them in place and warning on the underside.

[@thespiceislife2082]

Toyota’s was a lot more serious. Pushing the break pedal wouldn’t override the stuck accelerator due to their break boost design.
