Has there been any updates? Going through paint issues myself with kniesels and wanted to know if anyone actually got some compensation or a refund from Tesla. Thanks.

Hi all, this is my 3rd Tesla and am still running into issues even with a July 2020 build M3P. There are these little dots all over the car under the clearcoat (likely large dust particles during original spray). I even have a "smudge" on the hood. I've brought it into Tesla Service and the only...

Yeah I would totally pay 1k more for a 2020 with 2700 miles! This gives me hope and I will continue to look. Thank you for the information! Edit - actually, my build was base without wheels so your deal is just as good if not better than the one I found. Did you get yours from a sales advisor...

Yeah, but to add salt to the wound, the car came with the new warranty and would be titled as new for the state ev incentives. :( buuuut small update: Talked to the Sales advisor some more and he was apologetic and when I inquired further, told me that the car had been sitting in a showroom in...

Update: Tesla told me there was a glitch and the car went to someone else. They now are saying they I’m in line for a new one at regular price. Can’t help but feel a bit bait and switched by this, whether or not it was intentional. I have all of the details that state that I purchased this car...

I’d normally agree but have you seen the used prices on the model 3? Almost the same as new with 20-40k miles. Doesn’t really make sense right now.

Update: My account doesn’t reflect the pricing adjustment and there’s no vin assigned any longer. Called Tesla and they have no idea what’s happening. I placed an order for the car but somehow it’s “lost”. I wonder what happened and what caused this?

Haven’t seen it in person but I imagine there has to be SOME loss just due to the pack having stored energy for almost 2 years but probably a very low amount of cycles though.

Thanks for the reply! The “why” is definitely key here. I’ve asked for clarification and will update when I get some news. As far as asking for additional goodies, I’m not sure I have much to stand on since I already threw down that non refundable deposit. But considering they are selling the...

I put a deposit down on an inventory model 3 LR awd with under 20 miles on the car and received a 6k discount. Sounds great right? I did too and so I put a deposit down right away to secure it. But now, I’m finding out it’s been sitting somewhere for close to 2 years and having second thoughts...

That makes perfect sense and yes, when I went out to take the plug off, it nearly burned my hand. It would have if I didn't get my hand off of it right away. Interesting thing is that this supercharging station is new, built within the last year. Thank you for the information.

I have been able to reproduce this issue at a supercharger recently. Tried all 10 stalls, and all of them start at 94kw (about max for a s75) and quickly drops to 40kw within a few mins exactly. All of them had the same behavior. The weather was around 100 degrees though so heat may have been an...

Need help and opinions guys, I'm getting Pinnacle tint done tomorrow and was debating whether or not to have them leave a 2 inch by 2 inch square untinted in the top back center area of the rear hatch window for my rear dashcam. Gonna do 15% in the back and 30% in front windows. Any suggestions...

I'm getting an odd fan noise when I open the door to "wake" the car. It's coming from the driver's side front tire area and smart pre conditioning is off, climate controls are off and the noise goes away as soon as I close the door to leave, but if I sit in the car, the noise will just continue...

Hat to revive an old thread, but I'm getting fan noise with all climate controls off anytime I wake the car by opening the door. Video attached, should I mention this to service? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzqlLTVBCI52d2JIeFVITEtlWWc/view?usp=sharing

Just got a call from service, they said the milling sound at 20-35 mph is "within tolerances" and "normal". Was advised to bring it back if it gets worse or drive unit malfunctions. Also said that the acceleration whine is normal... Not sure what else to do? :confused:

I know exactly what you are talking about in regards to the chrome trim, mine are bad too and the SC is going to "try" to fix it but they could not promise me anything... Not sure if there is anything I can do to push the issue if they say there is nothing they can do.

I have the acceleration whine everyone is talking about, everytime I floor it, people ask me why my car makes that sound and that I should get it checked out... :frown: Attached if you want to hear my woes. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzqlLTVBCI52Tk5qMUVKZUh1eWM/view?usp=sharing

I have the same whine at around 25mph but couldnt get a good recording of it but I do have an acceleration whine recording I made. Be glad you guys don't have the acceleration whine, everytime I floor it, people ask me why my car makes that sound and that I should get it checked out... :(...

Does anyone experience a loud clicking noise when you first open or close the door? Obviously not talking about the window going up after the door is closed or the door handles. I've attached a video for reference. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzqlLTVBCI52ell3SC1kUFFpTTg/edit?usp=drive_web...

I haven't brought the car back for all the Due bill items yet. So far, they seem to be above and beyond in what they are willing/going to replace/repair. Fingers crossed!

Picked up the car over the weekend, decided to post some pics :)

Mine had fit and alignment issues (left side had gaps larger than right side) , bumper was not original (had paint work done prior with bad edges) , a bit of road rash, a chip in the windshield, a 2 inch scratch on the center console area, dust/pollen inside the center rear view mirror, two...

Did you happen to get the blue p85? Vin p07065? Just curious because someone bought a car that was literally 1 vin away from mine and I feel a weird connection to that owner lol. And yes cyclone, I can't sleep!

My DS has informed me that the car is on it's way to my SC! I was just frustrated with the lack of transparency and communication. I don't believe it's their fault, they must be overloaded on the amount of orders coming in. In any case, I get to pick up my car tomorrow or the next day. Hopefully...

I just got my nema 14-50 installed for $125. It was less than 3 foot run and I bought all the parts before the guy came to my house.

That's just the price we pay for going with DCU. I had asked if I could wait to finalize but DCU told me that if the rate changes from now until delivery, I'd get the higher rate... So I just went for it and now I'm in the same boat as you; Paying interest on a car I can't drive.

That makes a whole lot of sense and I wish the communication was clearer on Tesla's part. So basically nobody even touched anything until 5/1. In my opinion they still messed up. The detailing or inspection that they are doing now could have been done when they were trying to figure out...

I was ready with check in hand the day I placed the deposit and I let them know that I had cash to purchase as well. I'm not sure what the hold up is and no one will give me any information besides the fact that it is being inspected and detailed for the past two weeks. Worst part about all of...

I guess I'm just used to other luxury brands of pampering and communication. My 911 gt3 was at my door step in 6 days from the date I ordered and that car came from 3000 miles away! Guess I have to realize not all car makers do business like that.

So you guys think a 3 week wait is perfectly okay when purchasing a car that's already built and just sitting on a lot somewhere?

I ordered my cpo on April 24th and to this day the car hasn't been delivered, moved or updated since the date of order. It's beyond frustrating and all I've gotten from my DS is that it is in detailing and inspection and it should be ready "soon". I was told the same thing last week as well...

Digital credit union is by far the best rate at the moment. 1.49% up to 65 months. 2% up to 84 months. I've searched everywhere and they are currently the lowest available.

Same here. 1.49 at 65 months. But they are taking forever for delivery! They haven't even finished detailing and its been 2 weeks!

Yeah that one won't last long.

I would have them put a new nose cone for you so that you can install the plate below the nose cone and not have two large holes in it.

Most of those cars were over 80k and 90k. I have a nagging suspicion that they were taken off and not sold. Who would buy these when you can get a decked out 80D or low end p85d?

Congrats man! Welcome to the club! When you get your Model S, us Sacramentans should all get together!

All you have to do is ask, I said "can I get some tesla swag to show off to all my jealous friends?" ds said no problem and gave me 2 jackets, hats, license plate frame, key chains and leather key pouches.

I'd offer 125 plus actual shipping charges and since I live in Sacramento, shipping should be cheap! Let me know if you want to sell.

It may be that the dealers are taking them off? Maybe re-evaluate pricing? Otherwise it really doesn't make sense unless some folks really can't wait for a brand new car...

I agree, I got pretty much the same config for 66k but my CPO is 26k miles and this one has 15k fewer miles. I would say the price is justified but I wouldn't pay the price difference if given the opportunity, others may feel differently.

Those seats look like new! How many miles does the car have?

I haven't gotten any word about delivery fees. Both my DS and Advisor have said that the car would be shipped soon. No word or mention of costs. I think we should really fight this because it's not listed in our CPO invoice and we should have been notified prior to a 1000 dollar non refundable...

I agree, the process is painful because we don't get much information and the program is newish. They have no idea when my car will be delivered and they promised pictures 4 days ago...

Add me to the list of CPO buyers! P85 Pearl White 25k miles, 21in Gray rims, pano roof, perf gray sears, carbon fiber trim, carbon fiber spoiler, Studio Sound, tech package, Smart Air, Rear facing seats, and twin chargers for 66k! I'm excited but at the same time wondering if I got a good deal...

I placed an order for a p85 on Friday night and I'm now starting to get cold feet because these cars aren't really flying off the shelves like I thought. The car I picked out is a 2013 pearl white p85 with tech, sound studio package, gray performance seats, third row seats, panoramic roof...

Yeah I also thought that we missed out on the 6 year 100k warranty but this is not the case at all! The 6/100 warranty on cpo before the new warranty came out was 6 years and 100k miles starting from the original date of the car. Where as the new 4 year 50k starts when you buy the cpo. It is...

I'm with you brother! I just placed an order on a fully loaded (Even came with rear facing seats!) 2013 P85 26k miles for 66k!!!! OMG I'm gonna hyperventilate! I've been waiting soooooooooooooo long!
