2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

[oktane]

They do look at it. They even charge you $1.2k for the time it takes to look at it. They're just terrible at it.

At $40 / hour, its about 30 hours spent inspecting the car - longer than it takes to build it

Yeah those seemingly arbitrary fees do bug me, document, destination, delivery, how about I just pick it up from the factory and no delivery fee

Also $200k on a Tesla is eye-watering

 

[oktane]

thanks for sharing. I doubt I would have had your self control. the wait. the driving, etc. - i'd just have taken it, and then been miserable over the flaws. Kudos to you!

It was hard to resist taking it, but I mostly just didn’t want to deal with the repairs. Ideally I’d pickup the car and head straight to some PPF after a few launches. If I needed a daily driver I’d prob just take it.

Maybe now they’ll get the car fixed before whoever is next in line for delivery arrives to pickup the car. I’ll consider this my act of community service to my fellow Tesla enthusiasts.

I just realized how happy I am to live in NJ where there is currently no sales tax on EVs.

Well, there's finally one reason to live in NJ ;-)

I think it's Canadian Dollars, but still eye-watering to see that hah.

Close to 10% here in CA. And worth every bit of that sales tax to be in LA. I moved from joisey 3 years ago. Enjoy your winter

Dang. Just looked at my delivery date estimate and it's now pushed to Jan 24 to Feb 22 2022. I ordered this car in Jan 20, so it's going to be over a year for me to take delivery. On the bright side, my TSLA shares are paying down the car.

I wouldn't believe that EDD...

No changes to your config since the order date?

2/22/22 appears to be a human-entered placeholder...

The "operations advisor" assigned to me -- never had a SA -- tells me that his "forecasting tool" says I'll be matched in 7-10 days.

Born Date was 10/25 per the SA I called 11/2

ANC!!!! w00t! (Although the ironic thing is I suffer from tinnitus, so silence is not enjoyable!)

After waiting this long you deserve a 2022. What sort of issues did you discover? Have any pictures?

Here's the driver seat wrinkle. It's not dramatic but not something I want to see every time I go to drive my car:

Here's the infamous airbag worm (considered normal supposedly):

Here's the interior plastic liner stuck in the left hood gap. This one is laughable, how does this leave the factory a child would spot it:

Closeup:

The trunk gaps (hard to tell with photos but obvious to the human eye in person):

Left (wide)

Right (narrower)

That liner... they should have been embarrassed by that. Horrible!

Yeah lol it’s literally sticking out almost the entire length of the hood. I seriously thought it was just some shipping plastic protector but nope !

Please remind me the advantages of living in New Jersey. I can only think of diners. Are potholes an advantage? . Bit sure if we have Murphy after tonight, mixed feelings. Sigh…

@MFrunkerOG noticeably absent tonight. Braves?
