Are rear Falcon door alignments covered under warranty?

[djillusion]

My passenger rear Falcon door isn’t completely aligned to the trim piece.

I made a service appt at the local service center. Got an invoice for approving payment for this upcoming service.

Is alignment of the rear Falcon doors not covered under warranty? Is this a common re-occurrence over time? My X only has 7K miles on it.

Our x is 3 years old ,I complained about fact that alignment terrible when we picked up. They tried to adjust, but I didn’t see a difference. Had no trouble with doors so didn’t want to have readjustment and have doors not closed properly so just ignored slight miss alignment of trim

Have yet to see an MX without misaligned FWD or body panels. My major complaint upon delivery last Sept. Since the doors so complicated and aren't rubbing anything, I'll live with it. My brother in law's MS has similar door alignment issues. Seems to be Tesla's signature issue.
Still love the car despite the cosmetics.

My drivers side Falcon door lines up extremely well to the trim.

But the passenger side is bothering the heck out of me.

lol. kids I tell you.....

How much they got the invoice for the adjustment if you don’t mind I’m asking?

 

[Sandiegodoug]

In my case, supposedly worked for an hour on it, didn’t charge me anything, but honestly, I didn’t see a difference

My oktober 2019 MX had 1 FWD rubbing the paint. Fitment was meh. Made an appointment and they fixed it. Looks and works fine on both sides now.

$175. I don’t want to pay until I see the result.

You should NOT be charged anything. Hopefully it’s just the trim that needs replacement and not the door that is out of alignment. This is awful cosmetically and should be repaired by Tesla. It’s not like you could have caused this problem.

Mines been a problem since day one. They said they fixed it, looked ok, and I had chrome delete put on, but after 1000 miles started rubbing again. Have an appt to come in again next week, total miles less than 3k. They haven’t tried charging me yet but Ive been complaining on the record since delivery. Car is pretty dirty as just got back from road trip but shows where it’s rubbing.

Jesus I havre ordered a MX but looking at those gaps make me have second thoughts, to me that looks awful.
I struggle to understand how people can say "I just live with it as I love the car" These cars are some of the most expensive cars you can buy yet people settle for that!

Had my door aligned and the paint fixed (and clear film added to the black plastic piece) yesterday. The fit is much better now. It was kinda embarrassing before the fix since it was so noticeable. All free and under warranty.

My local SC advised me not to mess with it. They feel they would mess with the door even more that may or may not improve it.

from what I can see, it seems like a trim problem vs a true door alignment problem. I’m going to keep an eye on it over time esp as the winter months with cold temps arrive to see if it gets work.

my drivers side is much better so I know it can get there, the question is how much I push and time I have to put into this. I’m still under warranty so I’ll keep a continued close eye on it.

Also, I was not charged for the visit or them looking it over.
