My point is that Porsche WILL build a sub $100k all electric 911, because of Tesla's new roadster. They have done a great job with the hyper hybrid 918 and the new 600+ horsepower Panamera hybrid, so a full BEV has got to be on the drawing board already (dating myself with that reference).

I think it's funny, reading all these comments, that many of us have visions of what Tesla should be/do/have. And all the while, Musk goes on the record with his exact vision: speeding up the transition to renewable energy. In this case, we have people second guessing the intent of the new...

Not sure what surprises me more: that this roadster exists or that so many here seem to be negative about it.

You kept driving after that? And if so, did it happen again?

I think you need to take the car to a service center immediately. Do not wait for a response from tech support.

Body shops. And I would imagine (have to imagine, since I have zero expertise in the subject) that the time to add would depend heavily on how many shops they already have in their pipeline waiting for approval, and how fast their approval process works. I'm sure there are other qualifying...

No, your speculation about me is wrong. And I do not appreciate your tone.

I admit I didn't read the article, so I didn't know the writer's background. Thank you for answering my question to the writer. Would I have done the same, if I were in the same position? I believe I would, and I agree with you that there may still be a possibility of bias in choosing to do...

I appreciate the idea of holding Tesla's feet to the fire when they do wrong (or don't do right in a reasonable amount of time), but here's where I diverge from the sentiment of this thread: publish this information at either an car/ev enthusiast website or a general news/consumer news website...

I have yet to spend upwards of $100k on a highend automobile, but I imagine that when I do, I will expect it to be delivered in the same pristine condition the OP expected. Misaligned panels, headlights and paint defects are barely forgivable in the sub $20k market. I'm glad to hear that Tesla...

I'm going to have to go with the "factory alignments really stink!" thesis, perhaps even due to some bad components. From what little about it I understand, alignment "goes out" due to worn components (bushings, etc), loosened adjusters or bent or damaged components. I would think that a...

Sad thread makes me sad; reminds me of that old saying about arguing on the internet... Hang in there TSLA Pilot, I don't blame you for giving up on this one.

Unless they're dropping them off the side of the truck, rather than rolling them down the ramps, there's no reason for this to be true.

Thanks for having the courage to share your experience here. Very sorry you are going through this, but I remain confident that your local service center will make things right. I agree with you, though: this car should never have been approved for delivery in the condition you described.

Check out this final QC at Aston Martin, personally conducted by their CEO...
