Update: picked up my MY LR yesterday at 6pm
So there were a few issues to note on paint and trim quality
1. Drivers door either set a bit too low or or rear passenger set a bit too highā¦hard to tell. Trim was off but it was more a door alignment issue.
2. Paint bubble/dust in a section on drivers door.
3. A small chip in the front hood which someone tired to hide with touch up paint.
4. Light scratches into the clear coat on various different areas of the body. Itās like no one buffed it prior to delivery. I noticed one part where I put my finger to and rubbed for a second to see if it was real and just that act alone caused more scratch. Wow what a weak paint finish or perhaps too much clear coat
Other those 4 items the rest of the car looks great and drives fantastic as a Tesla would! the white interior was spotless and perfection.seats were brand new, stiching perfect, interior trim perfect, console great, everything as it should be
I bought Accel Boost asap in the SC..took me 30 seconds on the app and by the time they installed my 21ā Uber set I had purchased 3rd party off an MYP owner (with 1000 miles on them), it has downloaded
Even the avatar was changed to the 21ās by the tech lol. The 19ā Geminiās Iām having powder coated and winter tires installed on. Iāll have the 21ā as spring summer set only.
Issue now is I brought it to the nearby shop for front and lower sides ppf right away but now I canāt get it done until the paint is all fixed up. Unfortunately theyāll have to repaint the entire front hood, side of drivers door. Thatās 2 spots that wonāt have factory finish paint
In all my years of owning Teslas, Iāve never seen an end finish as scratched up or damaged as this was. They are churning them out now like socks and little to no quality control. Come in Tesla your almost a 1T market cap companyā¦as if you canāt spend the $ to increase this lol.
Good thing is the SC at Oakville Ontario are a group of amazing and hard working people. They will get to it right away, provide a loaner and ensure the issues are remediated pronto. Incl an entire buffing of the whole car to endure all scratches are gone.
The M3 red colour we picked up 6 weeks ago was flawless. Oh well luck of the draw which car one gets off the assembly line.
I will say for the 5 min I drove it to the PPF shop, wow the ABoost really gives it that kick! And i was pleasantly surprised that the suspension with the 21ā ubers was not as harsh as everyone has made them out to be. Perhaps because they are running on the LR suspension and not the lowered P suspā¦who knows! I was just content with the handling and that it also seemed just fine on the exterior wind noise front at 100-110km/hr for 2 min
