My Plaid has a paint defect that the SA found 1 hour before delivery. He said it will take up to 2 weeks to respray the rear hatch and nearby areas. They wouldn't let me take delivery before it's fixed.Well, back on the waiting list or off to a taycan. Went to see the car in the sun today, dirt in the paint on the drivers door, it’s small but I won’t accept it. It will create a bump when wrapped with ppf and drive me nuts.
Oh well, not sure what to do.
Really disappointed that it has to be like this, I kinda understood it when I bought my first S back in 2015, although that car was great gap and paint-wise. And, as Tesla grew I guess I excused stuff, but at this point in time and price point it’s really not acceptable.
I’m a huge Tesla fan and have referred more than I can count so surprised to be thinking like this but I just can’t believe how sloppy the cars have become.
I took a look at 6 other plaids today and only one was acceptable and that was relative to the others, but even the one had some panel gaps there were not great.
I’ll try again, but also thinking about putting a deposit down on a taycan gts that my local dealer has available but it’s not going to on the lot until April. I know the taycan is behind on tech, charge network limitations etc, but the bike quality is exceptional.
Am I crazy, overreacting out of frustration?? What should I do?
Hearing the news was a kick in the balls, but the new delivery date is tomorrow and I hope there are no other issues. Given my experience, if you're ok waiting, ask them to fix it.
My friend has a Tycan and they're not that much better. Spent weeks in the service center, long wait to get one, and the battery issue rumours are scary.
