    Cracked Windshield....Teslas fault?

    Look to see if there is an impact mark. If so, it was a rock hitting it. That's at least how Tesla service will absolve itself from liability. Got a pic?

    My Model X wrapped in Satin Guard

    No issues. I have clear film on my other Teslas and no issues w/ them too. Thanks! I am loving the new look and it's so easy to clean

    My Model X wrapped in Satin Guard

    Sorry fellas. Been sick (no not Covid). The company that did it is Premier. They had my approval to make the video for my car. Information is: Premier in Fremont (can't remember their address - too lazy to look up) 510-623-1308 Speak to Dave and let him know Lloyd w/ the blue MX sent you...

    Windshield stress crack Model X

    I had mine crack on the rear Model 3 glass. Service tried to blame it on the tint until I brought in photos of other owners w/o tint having the same issue of cracking. The service of Tesla really has gone downhill in the last couple years.

    Near annual replacement of 12V battery is typical according to Tesla Service Tech

    I have noticed that the Blackvue dashcam really drains down the battery.

    Condensation in tail light

    I know it has been brought up before, but wondering if anyone had any luck on a fix. Tesla replaced my light once and after washing it today it fogged up again. I would rather not have to go in again for something that they cannot fix right. TIA

    My Model X wrapped in Satin Guard

    I've used Premier numerous times since 2012 and they have been top notch. I recently sold my 2018 MX P100D and got into a 2020. Here's the vid showing the process of my baby's transformation. I chose to go with Satin Guard instead of Xpel because this film has a much nicer finish. So excited...

    Driver Side Wiper Hits Frame

    I had to bring mine in for service on this as my wiper blade started scratching the paint. They readjusted it and it is fine now.

    New S paint defects

    Same thing over n over with Tesla. You'd think by now they would have figured things out. It's been 7 years

    Condensation inside tail light

    had this problem with M3 and they too said it was normal until I pushed. Replaced under warranty and no more issues.

    Exterior Paint Flaws

    *sigh - I just wish the quality was better. Owner since '13 and on my M3 I had a series of problems. I am thinking about pushing out my delivery because of these.

    Gap between rubber seal on glass roof

    Had my rear glass replaced due to heater element cracking the glass and now there is a gap like those above. I gotta say that after so many years of this am just so tired of the qc on these cars.

    Tint the glass pano roof?

    I will be tinting my Y with Photosync. Had it done on the MS, MX, M3 on all of the windows and no issues. The Photosync tint is amazing on blocking out the hot sun.

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) & Ceramic Coating

    I will get just the ppf. My installer sent me this video link to show comparison between clearguard alpha, suntek, and xpel. I am expecting the Y in a month or so, so this is the first thing I am going to do: made by Prestige - www.prestige-films.com

    Rear Window Defroster Caused Glass to Crack

    Yes, but there are people who have the grass crack without tint. So this argument by Tesla is invalid.

    Looking to compare prices for full windshield tint on west coast

    I've had photosync done on all of my Teslas and love it. Going back as far as 2013 for my first MS and to my 2019 M3, those summer months are much more comfortable with it. For reference, I have Huper and 3M Crystalline on my other cars.

    Falcon wing door just opened, no reason and no warning, now what?

    The annoying ones are when the FW comes down knocking me in the back of my head as I am taking my baby out of the seat.

    Rear Window Defroster Caused Glass to Crack

    I had the rear glass replaced under warranty for the same reason. They tried to reject my claim initially and blamed it on my tint, but there are so many reports of this happening that I emailed my SA. No questions asked after that, but thought it was pretty interesting that they tried to pull...

    Likelyhood of bending 20 inch performance wheels

    No issues here, but I am attentive to road conditions and I specifically look out for potholes.

    Tesla is charging me $420 for a door rattle

    I would say that the build quality of all of my Teslas were not great by what I have owned in the past (mostly German). I was willing to give Tesla a pass because they are a newer company trying to find their footing, but on my MX I had just about lost it with them.

    front passenger side door handle...

    I had 2 out of 4 replaced and it would make a grinding mechanical noise. Eventually I was not able to open my doors. Had it replaced under warranty at 40k. Def an issue that is well-doc and is a poor hardware issue.

    Used - Model X 22" wheels + tires

    Few more pics. There are some curb rashes on 3 of the wheels. Have the black wheel caps to come with them. You will need to use your own tpms.

    Used - Model X 22" wheels + tires

    Just took these off my X to put the others on for snow season. A bit lazy to put them back on so will put these up for sale. $2300 Pick up only in the Newark, CA area

    Model 3 paint wearing off

    Tesla's service has been a hit or miss. I had issues with my M3 delivery and it took them 2 months to fix (gaps, wipers going pass the glass and scratching the side pillars, on / off glitches with screen, etc.). My friend who also took delivery of his M3 within a month of mine had problems with...

    Are all high end window tint films about the same?

    I have photosync on my MS, MS, and M3. I can feel the difference when I compare to Huper in my BMW. Makes a huge difference for heat entering the car and wouldn't use anything else.

    Backup camera HOT?

    Paint issue getting worse on 2016 Model S

    On my 2013 and 2014 MSs, no issues like that whatsoever. I say get a 2nd or 3rd opinion from reputable bodyshops.

    XPEL Prime XR Plus vs Prime XR vs Llumar stratos

    I was supercharging today and talked to another chap next to me. He asked me about my tint (photosync) and he asked me if he has this problem. He showed me his car with Xpel and it looks exactly like yours. His installer told him it is normal, but I don't have this on my photosync. Thought...

    Bad luck this year

    Bad luck this year

    I too had my an early (sub 1k VIN) X bought back. Took about 2 months to get things sorted out and a new car to me. Prior to that the X was constantly in service for FW issues and front door latches not locking. Still have some of those issues with the new X, but I'm just too lazy at this...

    That's pretty bad. Take it back and replace.

    Bad luck this year

    As an update, I will need to schedule with Tesla directly to get the charge port cover replaced as they do not want the bodyshop touching this part. Will be another 3 weeks before the car is back.

    Bad luck this year

    For those wondering how long it takes to get parts, we are still waiting for the rear bumper cover. Apparently Tesla makes them in large batches and if they just ended a batch and are out of stock, you have to wait til they make another batch. :(

    I just hope this does not take long to get parts

    First my M3 was hit and today my MX was swiped in parking lot. Just wanted to vent

    Bubbles along edge of windshield

    Make sure you document it with your mileage and send in email. I emailed my SA before the warranty expired, but forgot to bring it in due to work schedule..and by that time my warranty had expired. They did honor it because it was doc before my warrant expiration

    Satin Guard film on my M3

    I just picked up my M3 after getting Satinguard done. Picture is courtesy of Premier Mobile, who did the install. I am so glad I went with it. Pics don't do it justice, but here it is. Very happy with the results as it shines better than Xpel stealth

    Falcon wing doors won't detect closed

    Curious, was it a hot day or was the sun shining on that specific door for some time? I've noticed that in heat, the latches tend to not latch.

    Which Tint?

    I have nothing, but positive feelings with photosync. I have huper on my bmws and I can feel the difference between the two.

    Rainbow effect w/ceramic tintsuntek

    I had Huper on my BMW and the rainbow is stronger than the Photosync I have on my M3, MS, and MX.

    Bubbles along edge of windshield

    Yup, I had the same issue years ago with the P85+. Was covered under warranty as I was somewhere around the 45k mark, so it was still under coverage.
