Tesla couldn’t solve a Model 3 owners’ Bluetooth problem after seven months. So it blamed Samsung phones.

Jeff and Jennifer Salvage were the kind of customers whom companies dream about: early adopters who bragged about buying a new product. 

As "fairly extreme environmentalists", the Salvages bought the Tesla Model S in 2013, just months after it hit the market. Jeff, a Drexel University computer science professor, blogged about ditching gas and driving the "fabulous" electric vehicle. The California car company was even named after Jeff’s favourite scientist, Nikola Tesla.
