    Got a "Front passenger safety restraint system fault" late last week. I've scheduled a mobil service call. Apparently it is a known problem:

    According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, Tesla has initiated two new recalls over possible seat belt issues affecting up to 7,696 vehicles in the U.S.

    One recall applies to up to 5,530 of Tesla’s electric cars including 2018 to 2020 Model 3s and 2019 to 2021 Model Ys. It concerns the safety belts in the driver’s and front passenger’s seats. The cars were manufactured between July 6, 2018, and March 21, 2020.

    Tesla told NHTSA in a defect notice that this issue resulted from workers’ failures to always torque the seat belts into place correctly or to properly verify specifications were met after installing the seat belts.

    The mobile Tesla van showed up 20 minutes early and by the time I got out to the driveway, it was fixed ... no charge.
