After washing the car, we noticed the driver rear quarter panel had what appeared to be condensation on the paint. Upon closer inspection; it wasn't going away. A week goes by, we wash the car again. We thought it might have been residue leftover from the previous wash. After washing the car...

The detailer pointed out this paint defect on the side of the trunk on the inside, so you can only see it when you open the trunk. Is this a major issue? It looks to be smooth the touch so maybe some kind of dust or something under the primer? I reported it to Tesla service but not sure what...

I have had my car just over 2.5 weeks now, and have noticed an issue with the paint on the bonnet/frunk lid. I have what appears to be a faded patch / fault in the paint. I have asked a detailer to record the paint depths, and have attached pictures and their recordings to this post. I'd be...

Hi all, Just moved over here from the now inactive Tesla forums. I looked over Tesla's new "Engage" site, but there doesn't seem to be much "there" there. Look forward to participating in this community! I took delivery of my MY in November 2020. In short, love the car. However, I'm...

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...

Hi all, Purchased my 2017 model X from Tesla last month and there's a swarm of issues we have been dealing with... One issue we recently noticed was the roof of the vehicle has faded paint, which looks clearly like a defect. However, upon sending the picture to the service center via text (not...

Those who have taken delivery of the Pearl White Model Y recently, did you have paint color mismatch issues? Especially the rear hatch/bumper not matching with the rest of the car. I will be taking delivery of my Y next month and I am wondering whether I should switch the color since it seems...

Has anyone seen this kind of corrosion and pitting? I first found this on the driver's door of a May 2016 built X. After consulting others on FB, I found more corrosion under the spoiler on the passenger's side. Question: I would appreciate hearing about other's related issues, when they...

Awesome news! So will I get an option in the app to get my car resprayed? :) A lot to correct you see... Elon Musk on Twitter I think even cleaning out the robots once in a while might help with contamination issues. However how about this for your cybertruck! Alex on Twitter

OK, this is a new one..... After going on a walk this morning, I return to nice a blue-tinted puddle underneath the front left side of the bumper, just forward of the left front wheel well.... See pictures for detail. I ran my finger gently over the area and get a nice, sparkly paint on my...

Hi, I’ll try to be brief as there are loads of paint issues forums out there and I’m hoping not to start the debate about how and what Tesla should cover here. I’m trying to understand what’s ‘normal’ in the industry as I haven’t bought a new car for many years. A soon as I picked up my M3 in...

Hey, So I collected my Blue M3 from Stockley Park a couple weeks back and it was riddled with paint defects. There was sanding marks all over the car and the lacquer had etching on the bonnet i'm guessing where a bird had crapped on it whilst being sat outside. Whilst it's not the end of the...
