What's funny is the "disagrees" by the well-known malcontents.There are plenty of people who’ve received “perfect” MY’s, myself included. A few minor issues? Sure, but close enough for me. And a new thread would just continue to beat a dead horse with the usual players chiming in. I see a lot more of this here than Reddit where most people are very excited about getting their vehicles- much more jaded bunch here..
Just not sure what they're disagreeing with - that plenty of people get MY's they're perfectly happy with? Certainly that can't be it. Or that other's would continue to pummel the quality (fact) and point out perceived panel gaps when other post pic's of their "perfect" cars (almost guarantee it). No one would ever ask for less quality but we can agree everyone has a comfort level they can live with when accepting a car, or anything for that matter. Continuing to hammer away at that point just gets tiresome. Enough outrage on the internet already....What's funny is the "disagrees" by the well-known malcontents.
OK, I'm obviously a snob, but if the badges on the Bolt said "Buick" or "Cadillac" not "Chevy" I'd purchase one. It's a great little car but IMHO GM made a mistake by offering it through their entry-level division when it's not a cheap vehicle. BTW, that color red with the aluminum accented wheels looks great and you have the advantage of a dealer service network all over the US. I've always wondered why the Corvette is a Chevy when it's a world-class sports car. Branding does make a difference when it comes to marketing ... at least to we irrational snobs.Wow... my 2017 Bolt with 46K miles on it is in better shape than that "new" MY...
Wait. What? So one who wants a car better built isn't a real Tesla owner. K. Got it.
If no one speaks up about QC, Nothing will improve.
Suggest you compare Tesla quality today to that of several years ago. It’s much improved even before your comments. If you are not an long term owner then you do not have a good perspective. A few inWait. What? So one who wants a car better built isn't a real Tesla owner. K. Got it.

No. Most Tesla owners understand Tesla is a new company and is having minor issues a with fit and finish that are blown out of proportion by haters and the media click bait and uniformed commenters. Tesla has the highest satisfaction score with Consumer Reports of any manufacturer. Also check the Bloomberg survey for owner comments on the Model 3.I guess a lot of Tesla buyers have high tolerance for poor build quality.
I couldn’t deal with panel gaps and other issues with M3 and traded that in for an S after 11 months. TEHO
Well spoken Dcd7041!! The iPace “unpopularity” proves that panel gaps don’t matter!!I was returning my lease Land Rover Discovery. While waiting for my turn, now that I learned I should check for fitment and panel gap issues, I started to examine the cars on the show room. Keep in mind this is not the lot but the show room. Range Rover with a price tag of $130k, had a very uneven door gap like 4 mm on the top and 7mm on the bottom. The bottom plastic part was not aligned with body by a wide margin. The gap alignment on the trunk and the body was off. Two other cars, Velar and Discovery had similar issues. Funny thing the only one that I couldn't find any panel gap issue was I-Pace
So good luck to all of us buying our next car from other manufacturers. I can imagine the dealer's face when we point out the panel gaps .

Most people in the know don’t give a crap wether something is Cadillac, Buick or Chevy. All have made some good cars and bad cars. Cadillac and Buick are basically a higher priced Chevy.OK, I'm obviously a snob, but if the badges on the Bolt said "Buick" or "Cadillac" not "Chevy" I'd purchase one.

rxlawdude look at it like this, Tesla has sold over 1 million carsYep. VIN 0180xx built late June.
Yep and few bad apples and a lot of nit pickers that would have never have thought to complain about their previous car purchases.With Fremont building and delivering over 5,000 cars each week, it makes sense that we will see mora and more of these posts from the worst of them coming off the line. Does not mean that they are all bad, but just a few apples....
Most people posting here are owners, so I don’t understand haters comment.Suggest you compare Tesla quality today to that of several years ago. It’s much improved even before your comments. If you are not an long term owner then you do not have a good perspective. A few in

I have bought 15 cars in last 20 years in the US, 7 of them BMWs and others Honda’s and Toyota’s and 2 Teslas. Tesla cars are by far worst in build quality. Heck, I’m an immigrant and Indian cars had better build quality than a Tesla. Although, my 2020 model S LR+ seems to be fine for most part. 2019 Model 3 that I traded in was not that goodI purchased 9 brand new cars in my lifetime, 9th being Model Y. For the last 3 of them prior to Model Y, the price tag was between $80K and $100K. Never and ever I would have thought about checking for panel gaps in any of my prior 8 car purchases. And I don't accept the argument that "no one needs to check for panel gaps in Non-Tesla's because they are high quality", proven with my earlier experience at Land Rover dealer. God knows what I would have find, if I looked carefully in my prior car purchases.
Yet your next trade in most likely will be another Tesla, right?I have bought 15 cars in last 20 years in the US, 7 of them BMWs and others Honda’s and Toyota’s and 2 Teslas.

This is my experience. The negligence of QA/QC isn’t limited to panel gaps. Poor QA/QC in combination with limited and indifferent customer service is a bad combination.I have bought 15 cars in last 20 years in the US, 7 of them BMWs and others Honda’s and Toyota’s and 2 Teslas.

Sorry to hear that, but thank you for doing your part to improve Tesla. Hopefully your next one will be better.We rejected 25,225 on Saturday. Blue on black LRAWD, no options.
The dent in the passenger quarter panel near the hatch, no less than 5 fish-eye's on the furnk and an obvious touch-up spot on the drivers fender were the nails in the coffin for that car. Not to mention the cracked inner passenger side tail lamp, the passenger front fender poking out on the leading edge near the headlamp and the front bumper, the rear edge of the front passenger door too high, the front drivers door too high on both front and back edges (no body lines matched up). The drivers side headlamp laying over the front bumper, whereas the passenger side headlight had smooth transition from bumper to headlamp. A significant scratch below the window on the drivers side quarter panel, scratched up plastic on the passenger rear entry area, loose passenger rear door panel at the bottom, coat hanger mechanisms are a joke even if they did work properly (they didn't) and finally there was a scratch on the airbag.
#NEXT
It didnt' help that a 31,XXX car with the same configuration was sitting a few spots down and while it still shared some of these issues, it shared much less of them. I probably would have accepted that car, but it wasn't mine to accept.
Sorry to hear that, but thank you for doing your part to improve Tesla. Hopefully your next one will be better.
