The young Tesla tech they sent to my house yesterday was very helpful and did a good job with my misaligned front doors - simply by moving the striker plates slightly. As for the unsightly 'bubbles' in the chrome strip along the sill, he was sympathetic but said he could only refer the matter to...

Thanks so much for those fascinating insights. Really appreciate you taking the time to pass them on. You're right, too. That sill panel - on which the (plastic) chrome trim sits - is, indeed, also made of plastic. I just went out and examined it. It flexes far too easily and - on what is quite...

Glad to hear Audi customer service was a lot more obliging with helping to resolve your issue than I anticipate Tesla is likely to be with me and mine! (I say that because the after-sales service provided to me so far by Tesla has been lamentable - more on that later.) Regarding my post, I...

Thank you, Paul, for your comment. I appreciate the contribution. That said, if this bubbling issue is, indeed, due to corrosion - which, sadly, I accept is not covered by the used car 'extended' warranty that Tesla applied to the vehicle to help sell it, then I would agree with you 100%. But if...

My 2016 90D has these weird-looking 'bubbles' in the chrome trim below the doors. The trim appears to be nothing more than some kind of thin chrome-finish tape stuck onto the car body. I can't be the only one to have this issue, so if you've had it too, can you please say what the cause is -...

Turns out that the so-called 'extended' warranty that Tesla applied to my CPO car in order to help sell it to me was not quite what it seemed. In fact, arguably, the term 'extended' is misleading in this context, because the original warranty hasn't truly been extended. (Corrosion issues are NOT...

Why do I think they'll replace the entire struts? Well, I guess I could be wrong, David, but their estimate (attached) seems to suggest that the complete replacement of both struts is what they have in mind. Naturally, I'm not going to pay that kind of money when, apparently, I can fix the...

Thanks for that, David. If I have to, I will also take care of the problem myself. From what I can gather, the parts are readily available and the fix is not especially difficult. That being said, if Tesla were to deem it a legitimate warranty issue, they will likely replace the entire struts on...

Thanks for your contribution, Wally. Much appreciated. I need to apologize, however. I should have explained that, even though it's a 2016 model, I bought the car directly from Tesla's used inventory and so it came with a 12 month extended warranty. So, given that at least a couple of people on...

Sorry for being so late to the party with this question, but can you please confirm that the Tesla Service Center rectified these corroded struts under warranty? I have the exact same issue on a 2016 Model S that I purchased a month ago (see photos) and yet my local Tesla Service Center has...
