Yeah I hear you and that would bug me too. We just submitted the service request for the issues noted at delivery. The appt isn’t until July 29th. So that means we will have three weeks of driving, including some freeway time, before we will be able to have the PPF and ceramic applied.

I’m actually leaning toward just not doing the PPF or ceramic coating. Our plan is to own this car for 3-5 years and it seems like most (other than the folks on the forum here) don’t do any sort of PPF protection and everything ends up being fine.

We just picked up our MYP yesterday and noted some issues we are submitting tonight for Tesla to address. If some of these include panel gaps and trim pieces that may need to be adjusted, I assume we would need to have these items fixed before getting the front PPF and ceramic done?

Picked up our MYP this afternoon and it was a MUCH better experience than our prior visit where we rejected the car. The fit and finish on this car was significantly improved vs. the reject to the point where we had no problem accepting delivery. We did note and take pictures of some panel...

Probably had something to do with all of the garlic oil in the air.

Oh man, I wonder what kind of work is being done to it and whether that will be reported to whomever the VIN is matched to once the work is done.

Well, according to Tesla the car was only assigned to one customer and the customer was not able to take delivery due to "funding" issues. They said there is no record of the car being rejected nor is there a service history for it. Something isn't adding up with that timeline. If...

Thanks for your post. Not sure I agree on the panel gap issues being overblown. We tried to pick up our MYP last week and some of the gaps were pretty bad.

We are headed back to the delivery center again for the second MYP we have been assigned. Still apprehensive given this was built two months ago, but going in with an open mind. Will check paint and panels again for any issues and fingers crossed everything will be fine with this one.

Anybody else see EDD updates this morning? Mine shifted to 7/26 - 8/23. BTW, Flatbroke I'm pulling for you to get your car more than my own. Appreciate your support in this thread while you've been waiting for your car.

I have been struggling with this decision and appreciate your post. I suppose I've been a bit frightened by reports of Tesla's paint quality and it being prone to chips and other damage. If I were buying a car from a different manufacturer, I wouldn't even think twice about it. But here I am...

This is what still has me looking at other options while I wait for our cars (wife has a MY on order too). Other options aren’t terribly exciting, tech is bleh, better build and service, car company that knows what they are doing. But man those dealers think they are sitting on a gold mine...

Was that your first rejection? Your car being quickly pushed out at end of quarter is what I would expect. I would have expected them to do the same with this mid May build. Apparently they only give us two before cancelling the order. So I’m obligated to accept a two month old VIN because...

Oddly, Tesla said the car was never rejected by the customer and was never in for service / repair. Possible they are lying to us and the customer rejected due to quality concerns but Tesla just never fixed the issues? We are suspicious of the timeline given how aggressive Tesla has been but...

Has anybody received a VIN that is two months from date of production? Trying to figure out why this one sat for so long if they only had one other customer assigned during the last two months.
