The Syosset SC won’t address this issue with my model S. They insist that it’s normal. I had a model S loaner when my wife’s model X was in for a leaking half shaft. Still leaking after 3-4 repair attempts. The loaner was perfect.

I’m sharing some shots I took this morning. I’m having an unbearable resonance that the SC claims is normal. The technology and performance of these vehicles are unsurpassed. However, the build quality and lack of QC is equivalent to a 1980’s Yugo. Let’s see if some 3M weatherstripping helps the...

100% consumer fraud in NY State, I’ll double down on that. According to the NY Attorney General. I’m giving Tesla until early next week before proceeding with my formal complaint. Once that complaint is executed, I won’t settle until justice is served and a decision is made by the state. The...

I’ll refer to it as The Tesla used and abused experience.

Just dug up this photo from before it was debadged. I guess it wasn’t put on like that at the factory.

I agree, the rape comparison might’ve been too extreme. Thank you for your service. But it’s definitely a fraud. I’ve even discovered and contacted the transport company that brought the vehicle from the body shop to the Mannheim facility in Newburgh, NY. Tesla retained Mannheim to manage the...

Appreciate all your input, thanks

That’s the lowest the right side will go down. The entire right side of the car is out of line. Notice the reveal difference on the bumper cover.

I had the same rubber residue that I hit with the air blow gun. The threading in relation to the bottom is way off. Also, the entire bumper area reveals at the taillights are inconsistent too. I applied armor all to both upper rubber stoppers, only the left side can come into contact with the...

I’ll be uploading a video and obtaining a professional decimeter. I’ll take anyone for a drive on this thread, if you’re in the vicinity of the Plainview supercharger. I haven’t met any scarlet ev drivers yet.

Once again, I don’t mean to offend any fellow Tesla owners. We’re all considered early adapters and I’m into Tesla for 2 cars already. It can happen with the CPO of any manufacturer. However, I’ve never seen customer service like this. It’s how you address an issue which is paramount. Saying...

I’m sorry I offended you snowflake. As the victim of a crime (Fraud) its frustrating and time consuming. They’re remarkable automobiles, but they really have to start changing these unscrupulous actions. My apologies.

Previous owner leased the vehicle and never performed any work on the vehicle whatsoever. However, Tesla charged them for body repairs when the lease was up, including some rear bumper damage. All repairs were performed by Tesla. It was listed and represented as a car with a clean history. The...

Bought directly through Tesla CPO. Clean Car Fax too. I’m going to get louder until this FRAUD is resolved. As a business owner, on the rare occasion there’s an issue, my team expeditiously resolves.

With a clean car fax furnished by Tesla CPO too. Either way, it’s disgusting to treat your customers like this. Outright consumer fraud.

Brought this to the SC again. They acknowledged an issue, but don’t know how to address........UNACCEPTABLE!! Perhaps the NY State Attorney General will advise Tesla accordingly. What a dirty experience! Warranty is useless. No different than buying Tesla on East Tremont Avenue.

CPO, lightly driven and just reached out to the previous owner, received some very troubling information. I’ll inform the forum after Tesla is notified accordingly. Not good! Non invasive viewing by a qualified professional.

Right now it’s the equivalent of not even having a warranty. Complete radio silence. There’s nobody in corporate, not even a regional representative. Excuse my grotesque words, but the purchase experience is a slow rape, and the service experience is an abortion. I couldn’t say this more eloquently.

Better photos and a quasi professional video to follow. A very popular online automotive publication is providing a link. I don’t have a YouTube channel.

2016 Model S, 29k. Never been in an accident and in pristine condition. I’ll be posting better pictures and a video shortly. Tesla has been completely non responsive. They don’t know how to repair. The surrounding structure of the threaded pin that holds the fastener into the black round disk...

I meant there’s contact on the left side, as seen on the photo with the black circle on the plastic shim. Nothing on the right side.

The rubber stopper that’s attached to the lift gate comes into contact with the left side, and only touches the plastic shim on the left side. I moistened the rubber with armor all to show the point of contact. Notice on the left side, there’s no contact whatsoever. I have a better chance of...

The entire area is deformed and in a state of failure. The dB level as a result of the pressure buffeting at 40mph is 98.6dB, with the audio off. I’m going to be performing tests to determine the kPa. The rubber retrofit sounds like a great idea and I greatly appreciate your feedback, but it’s...

Your issue sounds like mine. However, my situation progressed and the adjustments are now moot. The catalyst of your buffeting may be linked to the threading that’s fastened to the lower shim on the body under the liftgate. Photos attached. Let me know how your threading looks. How’s the spacing...

The issue arises from the round plastic shims on the bottom. The left side sits perfectly and the right side is totally askew. When unscrewing the plastic shim, the threading it’s attached to is compromised and in a state of failure. The threading will never sit straight. This is also effective...

I’ve been experiencing major pressure buffeting from the lift gate of the Model S. This issue has been well documented amongst many owners and the resolution is to adjust the rubber discs that come into contact with the plastic adjustable shims of the car body. I’ve performed this adjustment and...
