welcome to America

Very interesting regarding that last one published on CNBC... I'm noticing a barrage of Tesla hit pieces mostly on CNBC over the last 2 weeks more than any other publication just as production ramps up (as per bloomberg 3 tracker). Different authors though to Thomas Franck, if I wasn't a...

wow that's a clean model 3 - great work. Next you need a specially constructed dust free garage and never let the car out

I'm finding the Model X falcon wing doors are STILL attracting lots of gawkers. An amazing car!

I am wondering what sort of person you have to be to notice something like this

Hate to break it to you but quality involves alot more than your subjective (and possibly OCD) opinion as to what constitutes a good panel gap. The drive train is covered by warranty by quote "8 year or unlimited miles Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty" . Why not buy a different car other...

100000000% this.... these people are just outright annoying IMO - I see a guy holding a card next to a gap to see if it off by a few mm i mean what the??????????????? If you're an OCD type who is concerned about these things, don't buy it!!! Buy something else pulezzzzz. Getting really sick and...

Great to see you are happy with it - its an amazing car. On a side note, I find most of the people posting about fit and finish tend to be the OCD types whom not much is ever good enough.

Do firmly agree its an amazing car - glad to see you are enjoying it

to reinforce the point these panel gap threads are usually populated by overly pedantic people unsatisfied with anything, here is a random MB GLA 250 I photographed this morning - when you zoom in on any panel you will see mm imperfections only an overly pedantic person would notice, however in...

The author of this thread is being a little pedantic imo - when you zoom into 100x on a panel trying to find a millimeter or so imperfection it seems like the author can only be described as someone who would NEVER be satisfied and should probably not buy a model 3 imo. In the wide shot, the car...

Japan sales are in fact negligible as per this link Tesla Europe Registration Stats I check UK forums, and some of the euro forums as well as Aussie forums... seems all good, rarely do I see the level of whinging from Americans - but some I have seen do have legit probs, (20% or so), most do...

well like I said most of the so called issues Americans here are making out as fundamental flaws with the car are 1. wind noise, 2. panel alignment (I would say 20% of what I have seen are legit, the rest are just absolute whingers imo) 3. Creases or specks (Imo 99% of these are ridiculous, I...

I wonder why its almost 99% Americans whinging about issues such as panel alignment and wind noise while european , Asian and Australian forums are not reporting them. Even here almost everyone who claims to have a problem is in the USA... I estimate about 50% of teslas are exported yet its...

I think this site has many whingers who nitpick if alignment is off by 1 mm or if they can hear someone breathing in their car....its funny that the vast majority of these whingers are located in the USA and many of them unsuprisingly seem to have issues with cars from other manufacturers. These...
