Apparently our windshield broke during transport. We were assured it would and could be restored to factory condition. It was not. There's a gap between the windshield and the molding. The molding pins are broken and theres a corner piece turned and sticking out. There's moisture in the rear passenger brake light. There's a black grease mark on the sun visor, a blue stain on the white rear seat, gravel in the drivers floorboard, scuffs and water spots on console, scuffs on dashboard, and small scratches on white trim. The outside was covered in dust and dirt. When we asked we were told we could try and do a walkin on the windshield but it would be over a week to have the car detailed. Or we could just cancel the order and start over??? It was Sunday so only the specialist was there. We live over an hour and a half away. Registration and taxes would be lost and since we traded in our vehicle that transportation is now gone. When I called to find out if repairs could be made prior to the 7day cutoff since first available appointment exceeds that- I was assured that the service center would contact us. No one has. The specialist did not care and didn't seem to understand what our problem was.. even basic questions on how long it would be covered couldnt be answered
There is no concern, no pride in their work, and no customer appreciation or respect at all. The whole experience has tainted what should have been an exciting and enjoyable experience. Loved the car but not sure it is worth going through this anytime there is an issue. Has left a very bad taste in my mouth about keeping. If the staff suggest you should get a refund and reorder maybe the refund is correct but the reorder is off the plate.
 
I picked up today at pond springs, it was pouring rain today so did a quick walk through. Did not find anything blaring obvious, but noticed that backup cam did not work. They took it in and the delivery guy said they unplugged and plugged in the battery and that fixed it. I had a homelink on order but they did not have it and so did not install it. The delivery guy knew some basic stuff, the rest he had to Google. He was more excited to take my SRT 392 out for spin, which was my trade-in. We love the car, I put in all the accessories, and drive out. I need to take it for a a wash and inspect the exterior to make sure there are no scratches etc. The delivery experience was meh.

It appears from your post that you have already accepted delivery of the car. Based on your description of the issues this would be a situation in which rejecting the car would have been the best option. There are too many issues to be dealing with here on a new vehicle.

Those of us who have been through this before have learned the hard way not to sell our existing vehicle until we are sure we have a new Tesla to replace it.

You could return it, but you won’t be able to reorder the same trim. Although it sounds like you don’t want another Tesla at this point anyway. It’s unfortunate when these things happen. Too many people accept a car that is not in satisfactory condition, only to be disappointed with the overall experience after delivery.

Let us know how things end up.
 
The service center did make this right for us once we were able to get back there and speak to them. Larissa took in our car, gave us a loaner, and updated us once the work was completed- dropped off at 3:22pm March12 and we were txtd completion note at 12:48am March13. That was a much faster turn around then we had expected. And it looked great this time. Larissa was extremely helpful and knowledgeable- and I felt comfortable with her and our purchase as a result. I did not have that same "confrontational feel" as I was getting from other staff when reporting the issues. I did hear them mention they were just getting staff in that they had been requesting so maybe this was an issue of new employees amd/or overworked over stressed current ones?
This is such an amazing vehicle and I am glad we decided to see this through. It is worth it. Just be advised the delivery process was bumpy and could definitely use some "polishing" overall.
