*steps on soap box*
Just ended up purchasing my third Tesla. First was a 2014 s85 with AP1, second a 2013 P85, and now a 2017 60D AP2. Obviously, I like Tesla's (enough to buy three of them), but I got to say I am a little disappointed in new production QC. As a disclaimer, Tesla is going to make all the deficiencies right, however it should have never left the factory or delivery center before being corrected.
Items found incorrect:
1. Front tire out of balance or out of round. Car "thumps" down the road.
2. Alignment way off. Steering wheel 15 degrees off center and pulls right.
3. Front and rear door seals defective. Have bulges that you you can stick you finger in (seal not laying flat against headliner)
3. Front airdam corner plastic pieces incorrectly installed. One doesn't snap in all the way, other flat out came out and was found lodged in to the grill.
I am not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill here, but for a VIN upwards of 180k, they should have these obvious items correct before delivery. Last time a saw a car that had these kind obvious issues it was an early 2000's Chevy.
If Tesla reads these forums, you all might want to double check your factory QC standards!
Either way, much better car than the previous two, it's just time to step up the QC game to be in line with a $70k car.
*End soap box standing*
