    Bizarre Mobile Service Appointment Today

    Tesla service has a major issue with attention to detail. Not model y, but we went to pick up our model 3 from service a few days ago and they left our car out in the rain with the trunk open and in the rain. This is how it looked when we arrived and the car was “ready or pickup”. leaving the...

    Just another disappointing aftermarket experience

    I’m dealing RPM right now too. Their customer support is AWFUL and they are blaming me for their quality issues.

    Out white model 3 is similar in the garage, but not that bad. That would drive me nuts, but I have seen worse on some early 2000s cars.

    What do you do if you record an accident on the dashcam?

    A few years ago I witnessed an accident where a woman ran a red light and then tried to blame it on the other person. I pulled over and got the contact info of the woman being hit and the Seattle PD email address. When I got home, I sent them my video. Well, apparently the video was not enough...

    Wow that’s a pretty extreme example. Is Tesla going to repaint it for you?

    Was worried about MSM color choice

    MSM on white is simple perfection. I almost went with white on white, but really did not trust the bumpers to match. Added a satin wrap and I fall in love every time I look at it.

    Yep, "satin finish". Here is a better pic and a closeup for a better idea.

    PPF regrets?

    mine did everything except door sills and handles. The only thing offered that I opted out of was a once piece rear hatch. I’ll take the seam and keep the $1k :P that’s just a personal choice though.

    Day 4 plastic fade???

    move had similar marks on many of my cars with plastic trim. I don’t think I would personally use shoe polish though.

    PPF regrets?

    No regrets at all! Satin finish ftw :)

    Day 4 plastic fade???

    Honestly looks like the retailer got some wax/polish on the plastic and then it dried. Do you have any rubber/vinyl cleaner? There are a lot of different products out there that should take this off and keep the plastic looking nice and rich. I personally use Chemical Guys Silk Shine, but there...

    No estimate on order page

    I have already ordered and received my car, but the entire time I was waiting I had no delivery estimate. Then, during the last two weeks of waiting, even the “-“ disappeared. My SA said it’s nothing to worry about.

    I tried to get my husband (white model 3) to do the same, but he is just not a car guy and doesn't care. It looks so good on white though.

    Finally picked my Y up from the wrap and tint shop! Very pleased with the stealth finish over the MSM paint. If anyone is looking for tint or wraps, Kris at Midnight Window Tint in Bellevue is fantastic!

    For Those Who Went From Model 3 to Model Y

    We now have both, a 2020 AWD LR Model 3 and a 2020 AWD Y. I drove the 3 for almost a year while waiting for the Y, and just picked up the Y on Monday. My knee loves not crawling out of a car anymore. I’m only 30 but I have a really bad knee and it’s screams. every time. The things I have...

    Took delivery yesterday, SC wouldn’t fix gaps

    I think you will be waiting a long time. We waited on our model 3 until last year, wanting the issues to be ironed out. Our 3 has had more issues than the Y in terms of fit and finish. Model 3: So far 6 door adjustments, rear rubber gasket replacement, trunk adjusted - was rubbing paint off...

    Took delivery yesterday, SC wouldn’t fix gaps

    I never took before pictures unfortunately, but here it is after the correction. My drivers door gap was somewhere near OPs and Jmatero’s before.

    Took delivery yesterday, SC wouldn’t fix gaps

    They fixed this on my car in about 10 minutes. All the Ys on the lot had similar doors and I thought mine was just going to be like that but nope! But now the problem is my passenger door, which was not off-set as much is bothering me because the drivers door looks so much better :P

    Not going to say exactly because I am getting a deal due to how many cars I have had done. It is cheaper than a vinyl wrap mainly because I am just going the outside (no door sills or jams). Normally with vinyl wraps you need to do the jams and everything else it looks bizarre when you open the...

    Picked up today at 4. Lynnwood was SO MUCH better than Bellevue. A+ on that front. I was 30 minutes early but it was all ready. The issues: drivers door a little wonky, fixed on site. Rear drivers door trim (the black part along the window) bows out a bit, see pic. Already documented and...

    There is actually a WrapJax not too far from my home here in woodenville/bothell, I am sure they do great work. I am going with Midnight because I have always been happy with their work. They have done 8 cars for me as well as many of my friends and I have never had a complaint. I am getting...

    I have been using Midnight Tinting for all my cars for the last 10 or so years. Kris is awesome and they do so many teslas its crazy.

    Just contact your SA and have them put a hold on your account until you actually want your car. This is my second Tesla order and both times I have ordered well before the end of the quarter and still ended up in the end rush.

    Pickup today at 4pm in Lynnwood. It’s gonna be difficult to focus on work today. Harder yet because, barring any issues, she gets dropped off for a full stealth wrap and tint tomorrow morning.

    What a beauty! Congrats on the smooth delivery and awesome car.

    That Mazda red is so good! I agree though, I wish Tesla’s two colors were better. Went with msm because white has too many matching issues (even our 2020 model 3 has color issues) and black is just too much work to keep looking nice. MSM seems a good balance of style and utility.

    Best SC in Seattle area?

    I have been there 6 times in the last year, it's always a cluster. It took 7 hours to deliver our Model 3, quality was really bad. Went back to fix the many issues and they wanted to keep the car for weeks with no loaner over very simple things (ripples in weather stripping, panel gaps, trunk...

    Great delivery experience today + a heads up on lift gate height

    As someone who has been driving an EV for 6 years, the sound maker is worth it. I thought when we got the 3 that I would hate it, but its been great for people not paying attention in parking lots. Glad to hear they are finally showing up in the Y, I really hope mine has it.

    Best SC in Seattle area?

    Anything but Bellevue. Taking Delivery at Lynnwood on Monday, I can let you know if it's better than Bellevue.

    We have FSD on our 2020 model 3 and there is no way in hell I would pay $8k for it. I am honestly not sure if $4k would even be worth it. I hate NOA so much, it drives me nuts. That being said, maybe some day it will be worth it.
  34. Dodogama

    Washington State Waiting Room

    I was told the same thing, it cannot be added to the load. If I was not paying $5k for a wrap the day after it arrives I would hop on it haha!

    I called the store to see if there were any updates, he said it was being made today, had a vin and that we could schedule delivery. He did say the delivery could shift if anything gets delayed along the way, but it should be good. I had no vin or anything before I called, when he set up the...

    Washington State Waiting Room

    Very similar situation, we sold our car at the beginning of this month thinking the original estimate 4-6 weeks would be just about perfect. I hope our cars arrive soon and are in decent shape (I don't mind minor stuff, our 3 had lots of little things that had to be fixed). On the bright side...

    The odds are in our favor to get cars by the end of the month... honestly my real concern is getting a rushed job. It’s hard to wait especially when I know there is a chance I may have to reject it. Fingers crossed for all us PNW folks!

    Washington State Waiting Room

    Called again (I wonder how much the advisors hate me lol) and it appears my car is in preproduction, has been assigned a vin and should be built on the 24th. Really hard watching people with the same build, who ordered long after me, get their cars first. Must remain calm :P

    Washington State Waiting Room

    In some states it will, but not WA. They must have been confused. I didn't even get insurance on my Model 3 for several days when I got it last year. You get a certain amount of time to get insurance on your new car (depending on your insurance and lender), during that time your current auto...

    Can't Get Autopark to work

    Model 3 owner here, its really picky. I have pretty much given up on auto-park since its so slow, but when I do use it it will often flash the park icon, then it will disappear. If you are parallel parking, turn on your signal, put it into reverse and slowly act like you are going to park...

    Enhanced Autopilot Back as 4k Option?

    Definitely hope I get delivery for my Y ahead of 30th so I can grab the EAP deal. We have FSD on our model 3 and I would never in a million years spend $8k on that as it is now, but $4k for these features is much more palatable. Also heard rumors of a subscription based FSD, that might be...

    Washington State Waiting Room

    Well today was supposed to be my soft match day, but we shall see if I hear anything. Ordered 8/15, my Q4 2019 Model 3 was much faster than this. I have hopes the Y has fewer issues than the 3 because of this (not getting my hopes up on that front lol).
  48. Dodogama

    Washington State Waiting Room

    I would take some time to call Tesla or your SA and get more info. Could be that something is holding up your account, or you are just not getting notifications. I have seen a few folks on this forum who never got any messages until delivery day.
