I found the whole mirror assembly on ebay for $150 to $250. More parts are available now so cheaper. I was going to buy and replace everything if I couldn't find the parts. At the time I looked, most of the side mirrors were driver side. So when I called Tesla parts, I asked them for a picture...

Dealerships will probably find ways to not cover warranty if they don't have to. I used to work for BMW long time ago, same thing. They told me they would have covered it BUT since there was a crack on the actuator, they won't. What can you do. Guess just gotta pick our battles.

The part numbers were internal part numbers. There are part numbers on the actual parts themselves. Always need to cross reference the part numbers or do a search to see if there are are numbers. Up to 5 different part numbers came up on the actuator since it's used in different cars. I called...

I've owned many different luxury brands. The parts are overpriced but there are a lot of other parts available so easier to shop for. If you go thru dealerships, yeah expensive but I feel the markup on a part like this is ridiculous.

Yes, we have them set to auto fold. Wife is happy to have a mirror now.

Yeah, might suggest Model 3 owners to just check them.

Yeah, it's hard to take off. Not sure when the actuator broke but could be the reason it popped off so easy. I never did anything to the housing or did any upgrades to it.

I thought she hit something but she was on the freeway going to work at 6:30 am. She didn't hear anything hit the mirror. Mirror cracked when it popped out. No other damage to the housing. Very strange.

Wanted to post this for people on the forums. So, my wife has had her Model 3 for 13 months now. We had our fair share of issues but most of them were taken care of post delivery or thru warranty. Wife's car: Model 3 is a 2018 Long Range Dual Motor. So... my wife left for work like she usually...

Thanks!

Hello, Well, wife wants the white interior and I want the Performance model. Thinking of selling my wife's current car. 2018 Model 3 White Long range battery Dual motor Aero wheels Less than 1800 miles Late Sept delivery Front bumper paint protection added Trying to figure out price. Haven't...

It doesn't hurt to ask but from my experience, they really don't care. The sc makes it seem like they are doing you a favor by fixing the issues Tesla has. They have a long way to go. Good luck but keep us informed!

So you can just use the Tesla portable charger with the adapter and plug it into your dryer outlet? Also, adjust the amps to 24?

Looks like Tesla is gonna hate me for so many issues. That is if they don't already.

Hello, After reading and hearing from a lot of the forum members about the Model 3 quality issues, I've realized I should thoroughly check the car inside and out. I only focused on the outside of the car but never looked at the interior. I checked today and noticed something but I'm not sure...

That's what I thought. Thanks!

I spoke to another person and same thing. I tried. I am planning to take the tint off the front windshield and see if that helps with the scratches. My tint shop said sometimes the tint brings out the imperfections. Maybe it will help. I'll also look into polishing out the window. Saw something...

After speaking to Tesla SC people, it was out of frustration. Keyboard is working fine!

Holy crap! Wow, I'm sorry. Yeah, makes my issue very very minor. Hope you can get it resolved. I looked at the return policy and it can be returned under certain circumstances. Keep us posted! Best of luck!

I have seen tint companies install tint. With new install processes, it's really hard for me to see where they would cause scratches like the ones I have. I have had many cars tinted by this company. My x5m was done. I'm not talking about straight line knife scratches on my windshield. I'm...

I have purchased many new cars in the past from trucks, luxury, exotic, etc and never have I come across anything with this many imperfections. Maybe the dealerships take care of them before like one of the forum members have suggested but I seriously never encountered this. I inspect all my...

Okay, it might not be major mechanical issues but I think they are major issues. When you have paint imperfections, things under the clearcoat, deep gashes and gouges in the front bumper, I think those are also major paint issues on a 60k car. Not sure what type of cars you have purchased in...

Sorry to hear you had worse issues. Yeah, could be worse but that isnt so comforting!!??

You know what, maybe I'm more upset at the way they handled it. So, im supposed to be grateful they were generous in fixing issues that were caused because they rushed to meet their quotas? What if I missed the paint and bumper issues and found it later. Again, they would have blamed me for 1...

It's a good car. I really enjoy it. I would just look over it to make sure there are no issues. Warranty does not cover cosmetic issues after 72 hours, unless documented

They are not deep scratches but a bunch of light scratches right in my line of vision making the more noticeable. I think the tint made them more visible. Yeah, I wish they noticed them before they placed the tint on the inside of the windshield.

Started with these black specks I thought were bug marks or something. Tried to remove them with my fingernail but it was under the clearcoat. It's hard to see in the pictures. The toe hook cap looked like somebody jammed a screwdriver to open it. There were a lot of hazy spots in the paint...

I have used them to tint all my cars for many years now. If you see the scratches, they are not consistent with anything they would do. I've seen them install tint. Some of the scratches are curved at the center of the windshield. I dont see how they could cause these types of scratches . I...

The thought did cross my mind but then read the return policy. Too late to return.

They did replace my whole front bumper and buffed out a lot of the paint issues. I'm glad they didn't try to just fix the bumper issues taking the better option of just replacing. Wasn't reassuring to hear that they have a lot of pre painted bumpers on hand.

So I'm a first time owner of a Tesla and it didn't start off on a good note. Luckily, I've been reading about quality issues in the paint, body gaps, etc so I kinda knew what to look for. I was so excited to pick our car up finally after all these years of waiting that I just glanced over the...

Some dealerships, you can return the car within a certain amount t of time. If Tesla didn't have so many issues with quality control, probably wouldn't be an issue. I'm not asking them to give me months to find issues. I'm sure things can be evaluated on a case by case determination. What if you...

I have tinted all my cars and I've taken them to the same place. I've never had an issue with tint guys ever cutting the glass. I've had a longer relationship with my tint company vs Tesla. Ive had better luck and service with my tint guys so far.

It seems like the case for some parts. Mine are more small 1" to 2" scratches but there are lot of them concentrated in my sight of vision. I told sc that if it was anywhere else, I wouldn't have an issue with it.

There are some YouTube videos with stuff that can polish out scratches. I'm sure I can try it if all else fails. I was waiting to have my front bumper paint issues take care of which took awhile. During that time, I got the front windshield tinted (UV protection - no tint). I thought it was...

I went into the SC today to see if their detail guy could buff out the scratches. I know it was a long shot but best option for me at the moment. I get there and within 5 minutes, they bring the car up to the front and tell me the detail guy says it will make it worse. I pleaded my case again...

Oh there is a checklist??!!

You really can't say that for every issue. I think it would depend on the type of issue or defect. I did a pretty thorough inspection of my paint. I think I have a good eye for things like that. They ended replacing my whole front bumper. Later I found small scratches on my windshield on the...

Yeah, I understand but if it's something you missed or didn't think to check? So does it become a warranty issue after that?!

Hello, So, I spoke to my delivery specialist about scratches on my windshield. After no help, I was directed to an Assistant Orientation Manager. He told my I only had 72 hours to report issues after taking delivery of my car. Is this correct?! Is it written somewhere? I don't understand why...

I was thinking it could have been something like the wipers but didn't think it would make those type of scratches like the ones I have. They dont run in the direction of the wipers. I can slow feel them with my fingernails. They are a little deep. I'm hoping they can buff it out but I doubt...

I was trying to see what compound would work. I'll see what Tesla can do for me. Some guy on YouTube used a Turtle Wax polish and hand soap with pumis I tried to take pictures of the scratches but hard to see in pictures. I'm going to take it to them next week. I mentioned the same thing to...

Yeah, I've been watching YouTube. I spoke to the service manager and he said he would help try to buff it out for me. I'll see what they can do. Thanks!

hello, wife wants me to sell my gas guzzler of a suv. i'm putting a feeler out there to see if there is interest in a car like mine here in a tesla forum. i have the title in hand. 2012 BMW x5m 41,000 miles Alpine White exterior Full Black Leather interior with leather dash + vented seats...

hello forum! sorry in advance for this long thread. i got my wife a new dual motor model 3. picked it up about a month ago. i was very excited to pick the car up and took the whole family. we cancelled our first order for the single motor after we received our reservation for the dual motor...

Are these specific to single motor? Can it be put on a dual motor model 3? Thanks!
