    PSA - small dents on all brand new Model Y hoods

    I had the same issue and was able to adjust things to where it is ok, not perfect. The dents closest to the edge never really disappear and in fact the sun was just right today where they became very noticeable and annoying to me. I asked them to fix the remaining dents but they did not do...

    2021 Model Y front bumper pearl white

    Took a gamble on better color matching, which shows more when you go with satin PPF (read that fact on here but chose to ignore it). The new bumper is a bit better but not as good as I was hoping for. Probably wouldn’t do it again given the expense and randomness of Tesla bumper colors...

    2021 Model Y front bumper pearl white

    I have a nearly new model Y front bumper in pearl white. It was wrapped in satin Xpel stealth. The bumper was on the car for less than 1000 miles. It is currently located at the Carlesbad, CA location. I am looking for $400 as it costs $900+ (without install) and the PPF was another $850...

    What Tesla’s ‘Delivery Logistics Hell’ Is Like for Model 3 Buyers

    I declined two deliveries already. The second one was assigned the day after but now haven’t heard anything for a week. The risk I run is that I don’t get one that is acceptable before the end of the year. I am told they have over 1k Model 3 orders in the queue at my location, so it is going...

    Checked out my P3D two days before delivery: It's flawless

    I am jealous. I declined my second P3D+ VIN today. They reschedule very quickly, so I expect a third attempt next week. I will probably do what you did and try to inspect it before the date to speed things up if needed.

    Performance Upgrade Price Change!

    Exactly, and there are so many other examples. This is a really bad decision, resulting in an avalanche of unhappy customers because their name isn’t Fred and they can’t cry to Elon when these types of things impact them. I want my money from the price drop on the 90D that happened 1 week...

    New Delivery - Bad Paint Job - Opinions

    I would push harder for a new car. First, to do a full repaint correctly they will have to dissemble the entire car, including removing all glass (roof, front, rear, etc), seals, etc. Your interior will be fully exposed to the dust in the body shop, dust from sanding your entire car, along...

    First World Problems Extraordinaire

    They usually do cover gas, unless they changed their policy for the Model 3 but I haven't heard of any change. You just need to keep your receipts.

    Marina del Rey CA-Delivery Location - QC wait times - Aug 2018

    Be thankful your delays are before you took delivery. I took delivery in January and still don’t have my car. I am declaring it their car at this point.

    Palm Springs service center delivery

    You don't enjoy the wonderful rock quarry blowing acidic dust on all the cars at the San Diego service center? That stuff mixed with the eucalyptus trees will destroy windows and paint.

    Refused M3 delivery Marina Del Rey

    Good call on refusing delivery, you probably would have had a long and painful repair process if you took delivery. The car likely went to the next in line.

    So I Have To Pay Another $2500 by July 1 to Avoid Annual Internet Charges?

    Sorry for the late reply, it is a Jan 2018 build and has been in service since Jan 2018.

    Tesla "Service Hell"

    Good, well not good, to hear others in similar situations. My car has been in service since January 30th with a 'possible' end in sight in the next couple of weeks, but we have been here before. Escalations don't work anymore in Tesla, they are just way too busy now.

    So I Have To Pay Another $2500 by July 1 to Avoid Annual Internet Charges?

    Same with me and I have been through hell with my first Model 3. My wife doesn’t understand why I would even consider ordering another one...psychology of free stuff is a strange thing.

    Model 3: My car is in the shop on day 2

    Try having your car in service since January. I honesty forgot that I own a Model 3, not even sure how it drives yet. Bright side is I have put 6k miles on a loaner and enjoyed free supercharging since then. My insurance will also be super low since they think I don't drive at all, although I...
