Hi all. Fist post and it’s not a happy one.
I bought a Model X (first mistake?) that came into inventory (second mistake?) and picked it up Friday. Model X LR with 22” wheels, white interior and 7 seats.
Car looked good at pick up. A few minor things (missing valve stem cap and a missing wheel center cap, no big deal) so accepted the delivery.
Wish I was more thorough (third mistake)! Was playing around with the car at home next day and decided to try and climb in third row. Passenger side seat tilts forwards, but does not slide. Won’t return back to position. It’s stuck. Immovable. Totally locked in place. Driver’s side is a little better: it won’t slide either but the seat will tilt forward and back with some persuasion.
Immediately called Sales who booked me into SC. Took it into SC, given a loaner and told I will have car back Tuesday. This morning they finish diagnosing the issue and update the estimate to December 27.
So I had my brand new Model X for less than 24 hours before it disappears into the shop for ten days. Ten days!!
Both Sales and SC have been sympathetic but I’m still pretty frustrated. How is it possible that the factory QC and pre-delivery inspection is so poor?
Signed, first time Tesla owner, feeling like a mark.
