    Delivery gone bad - M3 has some issues : ( Need advice for what to do.

    I wouldn't accept that car. Decline it and request a vin rematch with the same configs. I declined my first delivery attempt due to paint and dent issues alone. Second delivery only had door alignment issues that were fixed later at the SC.

    Model 3 reliability so far?

    m3p+ with a June build date. Only issues i have had are some rattles from the rear doors. Mobile tech came out and almost fixed one of the rattles. It appears to be coming from the window regulator assembly. He actually replaced the entire window regulator/motor assembly. Rattle did not...

    Paint chips on hood after 2,000 miles?

    I'm not taking any chances with mine. I getting full PPF this weekend, but i also want to go full matte. I'll agree to some extent that a new car should probably not chip so easily, but i will say this. My previous ride was a 2014 audi s4 in phantom black pearl. After 5 years it had a few chips...

    Performance Waiting Room

    It happened today. I took delivery of my msm m3p. Paint was flawless. Only issues that will be fixed with a service appt are the two front doors need some alignment and the bottom plastic piece of the rocker panels were damaged from what looks like unloading from the semi truck. No homelink on...

    What is the process to refuse delivery and get your money back?

    I wanted to add my experience with a refund here. Over two weeks ago, i declined delivery of my m3p due to paint chips and a dent to the rocker panel. (i'm of the opinion that a new car should not require a trip to the body shop, but i understand if you feel differently) I called and asked for...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I'm curious as to how the matching is done. Is this an algorithm that is doing the matching on the backend, or is an actual human taking every new order and attempting to match it to existing or already in production inventory?

    Under what conditions would you refuse delivery?

    So what if that's the bar that he has or hasn't set? I'm still baffled that so many of you are willing to accept a brand new car that has paint chips and scratches and obvious panel alignment issues. I definitely have set this bar for the previous cars I have purchased, new. Can these issues be...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I didn't take pictures since i wasn't taking delivery. He told me i could call my delivery advisor and request a rematch. The thing is that they were clearly hoping that I would just take the vehicle despite the paint chips and dent. The dent on the rocker panel was covered with either wax or...

    Under what conditions would you refuse delivery?

    I refused an M3P yesterday. Paint chips and dent in rocker panel. I would also refuse major panel alignment issues unless they can fix it on the spot at the service center before you take delivery. I've decided i'm going to wait until the end of this quarter to order again. I'm giving them one...

    Those cloth covers can't cost that much and they can easily reuse them.

    Do they let you know what the actual build date was? I'm curious what your build date is. This gives me hope that i won't have to turn my car down due to paint, fit or finish issues.
