.... I’ll start with the negatives as that’s what people are most interested in hearing.
1. Drivers rear door is horribly aligned. It’s so mis-aligned that its nicked the black trim on the rear window. Trim will be replaced.
2. Passenger rear door is just slightly off but no issues with its function.
3. Right front fender is slightly off with bumper and light
1-3 are going to be addressed at a future service visit
4. There were a couple of very very minor paint scratches around the lift gate hinge which they touched up before I left
5. The weather stripping around the entire lift gate needs to be replaced. It’s coming off in 2 spots. the service folks fixed one part of it but weren’t able to fix the other part by the right tail light. Part is on order. In the interim I am going to try and fix it myself as I am handy.
6. The right front mirror cap wasn’t fully seated. They told me they are going to just replace it.
On to the positives:
1. Maybe I went in with low expectations but the paint quality wasn’t horrible. Overall its on par with other cars. Maybe I got lucky. If the paint was bad on this car I would have rejected it. And I used to do automotive paint so I am not a complete novice at this stuff. I’m sure its thin paint but it wasn’t littered with dirt in the clear.
2. Tail lights and charger port were surprisingly good.
3. Lift gate worked very smoothly as well even with weatherstrip issue
4. The tech in the car is amazing
5. Car rides very nice and not overly firm even with the inductions.
6. Just finished installing my Gen 3 charger and its charging up now at the full 48amps
7. Roof glass and lift gate line up very well
8. Headliner for the most part is clean and tight
For those still waiting, have faith that your car will be good and you will love it.
