I added 2 more on the left side as bumpers because I kept hitting the turn signal.

It should have been illegal for Tesla to remove the turn signal and wiper stalks. On my old company Model 3, the wiper controls being buried in the touchscreen on a disappearing card was one of my biggest frustrations.

Just another reason I bought a used Model S this time.

Doing the Lords work making sure people know buying cars with 100k miles will start having things break…

He didn't say it had 100k miles, he said he paid $100k for the car. Big difference.

This was already clarified.

The windshield was of very poor quality. Because of Tesla’s method of car construction, the fender has to be cut out from the car resulting in huge prices for simple fixes. I would not call an informative post on issues that have arisen in 2 years a rant. I think it is important for future customers to know what they are getting involved in.

Quarter panels are always welded.

What’s your next car? Any replacement in mind?

I’d agree with the build quality. Still love the car.

For anyone living in NY/CT/NJ area, I had a small dent in rear quarter panel. Great results (see below) with dent removal service. Mobile service, they came to me. Much less money than the expensive quote from the Tesla "certified" body shop.

While nobody makes a perfect and fault free car, it sounds like you had expectation that your ownership experience would have had less issues.

Many others have posted that their cars have been fault free and never needed to go into service for any reasons.

Guess it is to be expected that some will have more issues than others.

Sorry that you needed to suffer so much.

I also have some pealing of the yoke covering. Tesla told me that it was a supply issue they are well aware of, and have indicated they will replace mine free when the improved model becomes available. Not really a biggie. I'm hoping the new yoke will have a horn button. Somehow I am surviving.

Follow up. Tesla sent out remote service to replace my yoke. The new yoke is much higher quality feeling and now includes the center mounted horn button. Tactile buttons seem to work better as well. Thank you Tesla.
