    Does Pearl White issues still exits?

    Yes! I have posted this in other threads. This was from Wednesday the 9th. I rejected delivery within 10 seconds of seeing the car. MSM scheduled to arrive next week. 7 other white MYs on the lot at KC. All with paint issues. Very easy to tell under overcast skies. The DA said when it is sunny...

    White Color Mismatch Unacceptable

    More than one person works at that location. So I would try talking to somebody else. I have had a lot of success calling the main sales number during business hours and talking to whoever answers. They have access to everything and can probably honor your photo request and tell the Delivery...

    send them an email with screenshots of us saying our SC agreed to send photos. or have him call KC and ask for Pete Shulte. He has worked there 5 years and knows how it works.

    Paint Mismatch Survey

    Rejected this today in Kansas City. VIN36k Drove 3.5 hours one way because they wouldn’t send a photo beforehand. Tesla rep said they will have trouble deliverIng the other 7 white MYs with paint issues on their lot unless it’s sunny. He apologized and paid for my rental car both ways...

    August/September VIN Notifications and Deliveries

    Very sad to hear this. I think they aren’t supposed to take pictures but I can’t see how they can deny the paint issues. Guy is either lying or sleeping under a rock. Also, he can’t say he hasn’t heard of them now because you just told him. Hopefully yours is perfect.

    they paid for my rental both ways but I still drove 7 hours round trip. all they had to do was call me and say “It appears as though your car needs additional time to be ready.” then go repaint it.

    White Color Mismatch Unacceptable

    the rep said they are trying to only deliver white MYs on a sunny day. I counted 7 other White MYs. All with paint mismatch. so basically if you are getting a white MY at Kansas City delivery center it has mismatched paint

    Preventing “stretch marks” / seat cracks

    Mine have cracked slightly after 2 years. Doesn’t really look like a normal leather crack. Just a slight discoloration. I never wear jeans in it and clean it regularly. Weigh 170lbs. Just showing signs of wear like a normal car would.

    Ordered 7/15 VIN 8/17 Pickup scheduled 9/14 called just out of curiosity to see how the transit was progressing. They said it arrived a week ahead of schedule. Picking up tomorrow. No contact from my delivery advisor in 3+ weeks. Don’t think they care at this point. Fingers crossed for a...

    Delivery Taken Yesterday

    Picking up in KC tomorrow as well. no contact from my Sales Advisor in a while. Last I heard the car would arrive on the 12th. I called just to see where it was and they said it has already arrived. So I’m picking up a week early.

    Finally got the update that my MY is on the train. Worst SA ever. Had to call generic Tesla number to get them to schedule delivery and then confirmed with SC. Ordered: 07/15/20 Config: W/W/19” MVPA: 08/17/2020 Delivery scheduled: 09/14/2020 (a month from VIN to delivery) My SA scheduled it...

    Got mine...only a couple of complaints

    Congrats on your MY! I saw a video online that someone had the same issue and they tightened the knobs on rear hatch. There are like 4 rubber knobs and they just turned them like a screw in their hand and then it closed better. Worth a shot.

    August/September VIN Notifications and Deliveries

    Their end of quarter push strategy is actually annoying. I purposefully ordered after the last quarter ended to try to avoid the rush. They just sat on my order for 8 weeks. Looking like they will be delivering 9 weeks from order date. The need for the factory in Austin is obvious.

    White Color Mismatch Unacceptable

    Seems a bit much. Not sure anybody has gotten that request. Not saying I don’t agree with you but not sure it’s within the realm of reasonable. Would have been better to reject it altogether. I would take a repaint at this point.

    White Color Mismatch Unacceptable

    Very frustrating to see. No clue why they won’t even consider repainting. I have a pearl white M3 and have never seen even a hint of color mismatch. Picking up a white MY in a few weeks. Nervous. But I have seen a couple with my own eyes that looked great. So who knows.

    Are Tesla Trade In Offer Negotiable?

    In Nov 2018 I just straight up asked for $1,000 more on my trade in and they gave it to me. Probably a fluke.

    Text vs Email notifications

    My SA Cristy only emails. Not trying to be rude, but she is bad at her job. She said, “I will contact you every 48 hours to keep you in the loop.” I paid for my car in full a week ago. Haven’t heard anything from her. my buddy gets regular text updates from his SA. Ordered weeks after me and...

    Model Y Factory Shutdown for Upgrades

    Well, Tesla.com says 5-9 weeks for delivery of a new Model Y now. Either they got a big influx of orders from the price drop or they are making some adjustments that temporarily slow down production.

    Another rejected model Y

    Totally agree! Bunch of perfectionists who are spending their last dime on a Tesla. it’s a hunk of metal you drive on asphalt at 70mph people. Just be happy Tesla makes it fun to drive and safe. it’s not supposed to be a faberge egg.

    Cleaning white interior

    the key for keeping my white interior clean over the last two years has been to clean it quickly. Don’t let it set in. start with the softest cleaner and increase power as needed. But don’t remove the treatment that comes on it from the factory. I’ve successfully removed blue jean stain...

    Paint Mismatch Survey

    since you have to keep it at this point I would try to appeal to Tesla for a repaint. That photo is pretty convincing. if they say know then maybe get a quote for what it would cost to paint it yourself. frustrating to have to paint a brand new car but that’s all I can think of.
