I have tried several times and cannot get into my account
I had previously set up my account when I completed the transaction with Tesla. So your email requesting the same was a duplication of efforts and not necessary. My biggest complaint however is the picture that was included in the email request. I found it to be offensive. I live in the United Sates and am an american citizen.
Because it don’t have an app for it
In their mailed literature, they listed a feature in their web portal that was non existent. I mentioned in a message on the site and I was told I would receive an e-mail reply. Never happened. By calling Santander, I found out that California law does not let residents make their communications privacy choices on line. I had to fill out the paper form under state law. Bureaucracy!
