    Pearl white and yellowish side skirts

    Bump. Still no reply from Tesla. I saw that I found one photo from when I picked up the car and you could see the difference. I have no clue on how to go forward with this.. I’ve seen multiple white model 3s and none of them have the same issue as I have with the discolouration.. Any...

    Update: Just had a Tesla tech here and he said that this will be hard to get through. He took some more pictures and he is gonna escalate it but he thinks it will just get shut down. I also sent an update to my sales contact about this.

    Pearl white and yellowish side skirts

    Washed the car today. Take a look and see the different color on the sides. I think it’s some adhesive that turned yellow as I can’t get it off while washing.

    Pearl white and yellowish side skirts

    Thanks for the reply. Mud gards were applied on the front when I got the car and I have some added PPF at the rear of the sides (not shown in this picture). Apologise for the dirty car but as you can see there is another layer of protection on the lower part of the sides and this additional...

    Pearl white and yellowish side skirts

    I noticed the other day when I washed my car that there was a lot of yellowish on the side skirts. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture now as it is heavily dirty again but I took one from earlier where this yellow tint is located. I’ll try to get some pictures in a while. It looks really bad...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    That is true. Thank you for the eye-opener. I think I overthink as it is a big purchase for me. I am very pedant, however I don't wanna obsess over this stuff too much.

    What type of battery will be used in the 2021 M3 LR (353mi) delivered in november / december? I've been reading a lot lately about LFP and I am a bit concerned as I live in a cold country.
