Rim issues are not related to Tesla. It is a generic item across all cars. The damage is likely due to the low profile and potholes. If 3 of your rims are bad, it is the perfect time to buy a new set of aftermarket rims off Tirerack. Cheaper and choose a design you like. Maybe go with a smaller...

I need pics. Your issues are actually "within spec" by Tesla standard. You simply went with the wrong brand.

"perfect one" from factory. Giggles. I guess you haven't see all those refuse delivery threads. You should pray the car wasn't assembled on a Friday. The rattling/creaking and fit/finish issues will be way bigger than your windshield replacement history if you are unlucky.

It was not meant to be a permanent fix in this case. Your crack has already spread. Those kits are resins that act like glues. You still need to replace the glass, but it will help hold the glass together since you are so far out from your replacement appointment. You could drive it as is, the...

The crack may spread under heavy wind pressure. You should use the windshield repair kit. You can easily buy it off Walmart nearby. Apply the kit to prevent the crack from spreading further.

All the problems you listed are build quality noise problems. Personally, I would not categorize those into real warranty repair issues. Although you could ask the service to fix, it may or may not fix it. It may make it even worse. Water leak into interior is definitely a no, must redo the seal...

The report is usually provided by the dealer. They have business subscription with Carfax or similar. I think all name brand dealers provide reports. Only shady dealers not provide reports. I never see private sellers provide reports. You have to pay for it yourself. This listing is funny...

Uh, if you scroll down, there is a link to Experion Autocheck report. It shows 2 owner, accident record in 2016. Is this for sale by owner? Why would there be a free report associated. Is it provided by autotrader?

Speaking of lease, there is an offer going on now though Costco auto. Polestar 2 dual motor. $299 per/month with $999 down. Lease term is 27 months. Annual mileage limit is 10K. I think this is a great deal for a car that retails around $50K. Especially for new EV users to experience the new...

Just need to install more security cameras and be tougher on crimes. Carry your own cable just sounds stupid to me. Why should we carry the extra cost and inconvenience for the few petty thieves out there.

I think tesla has the competitive price edge. Especially after tax credit. But tesla also chopped a lot of stuff. No instrument panel, no USS sensor, no stalk and gear change lever, simple interior. Everything focused on reducing parts and cost in the disguised name of minimalism and autonomous...

You could always ask. Present to them why you think you deserve a buyback. Such as the amount of time spent on service, number of attempts, etc. the worst you get is just them replying saying no. For actual lemon law, you need a lawyer and make sure you have met the requirements.

There is a huge chip at the middle. It means money bye bye.

Unfortunately I can't see the full front side of the toyota. If only the center is damaged, then it likely was 90 degree impact. If the damage is also to the left light, then it involves turning. The peeled door edge is from the tesla moving forward while the toyota's front fascia was stuck...

Insurance pay out is based on average market price with similar condition. A 23 M3 rwd is around $27K now. Software cost is nearly negligible in used car. You will probably get around $28-30K+Tax and fee. In my state end of 2023. A brand new M3 base is around $27K out the door. $7500 federal...
