    Model 3 Paint (Ice Scraper Damage)

    Also, those white marks on the door side (lower half of the picture) were just threads from my clothes (trying to dry off, saw them and went back and checked afterwards). I was concerned for a second because it resembled the deep cut that I had elsewhere in the car from a service visit (they...

    Model 3 Paint (Ice Scraper Damage)

    Snow Hats were the best (and I love the big flurries) until I realized that they were dangerous. If I had a longer driveway I'd consider just flooring it for a second or two and letting most of the snow just fly off (after a bit of a preheat)

    Model 3 Paint (Ice Scraper Damage)

    Whew. That's great to hear! Triple thank you! I'll schedule something with a local detailer, probably get a ceramic coating while I'm at it.... Once I do, I can post how successful||not it was. (Also forgot to thank everyone for their product suggestions and their ways of navigating the situation)

    Model 3 Paint (Ice Scraper Damage)

    @Adam3 and @KenC I have to admit your message amongst the fervor was a motivating factor in posting this during the workday :D Sorry about the moisture accumulation, I can come back and add more photos if useful, but here are a couple prime examples (paint pun not intended?) of the damage. One...

    Model 3 Paint (Ice Scraper Damage)

    Thank you, I appreciate it! Next time it snowed, I seriously did # 2 but for less time. Will add pics sometime! Wasn't even in a rush, was unfortunately just ignorance. Earnestly, the motivation was just so I don't have any lingering ice on my car. Always is my pet peeve (and actually...

    Model 3 Paint (Ice Scraper Damage)

    Yes that is correct, I used the plastic part to remove ice off the paint (as I don't believe a brush could have done such a task). Definitely needed a CyberTruck :D LOL

    Model 3 Paint (Ice Scraper Damage)

    Hey all, just trying to get a real sense of how I should feel after I damaged the paint on my Tesla Model 3 Performance (2021)... Saved up for 7 years just to give it scratches all over in the first blizzard :'D. Has missing paint inside the doors, underneath the frunk (hidden) etc. I love the...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I should probably watch his video! Thanks for the heads up, especially since safety is a major selling point of the car for me. Speaking of safety, the car avoided its first accident today. Car in front of me abruptly stopped due to it getting freaked out by a car in the opposing lane of...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Yea you have every right. I'm hoping yours comes out pristine! :fingers-crossed In my specific case the door closing issue was the placement of the metal latch. Was a 2 minute fix on their part. I don't believe that itself has any issue to do with the frame. Seems more likely to be poor...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Honestly factors of desire and uncertainty being of greater weight than my patience which was overtaxed at the time. If you want the in depth answer: Having ordered in September, already refused delivery once with the thought that I would get a car in October-November (with the rumored...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Note: Still have to watch the OP video, but... Yea my delivery experience and quality were unfortunately very disappointing. Just so people don't believe I'm a sour grape because it doesn't match their experiences, I am otherwise incredibly happy every time I drive the car. I just try not to...
