Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

[Sg911]

This is what Tesla support had told me via email when I asked about it 2 weeks ago.

We want to surprise and delight our owners, so we’re bringing our Performance version of the Model 3 to market as quickly as possible. To get drivers into their perfect car now, the carbon fiber spoiler and Performance badging included in the Performance package will be installed after delivery at a location and time of your convenience when parts are available.

• Please note that all Dual Motor Badging will be installed after delivery for both Long Range Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive and Performance cars

Parts have just begun shipping, and we will inform you as soon as they become available at your preferred Tesla Service Center. Your account will automatically have a note applied to record that you’re owed these installations, and there is no need to reach out to confirm.

Best,

I received that same exact robot message which doesn’t alleviate anything that I’ve been waiting 3 months and the rep said sometime.., this quarter. Tesla Customer Service not confidence inspiring

It's not a priority for Tesla. It won't generate any additional profit. They already have our money.

That’s the truest sad part!

Yet they were able to send all the $5,000 refunds?

I talked to my service center in Raleigh NC yesterday on another matter and asked about the spoiler. They said they had only received one so far, but to check back in 30 days.

That’s ridiculous!!

Their service takes forever to reply. I had a recall due to a power steering bolt that was supposed to be resolved for my MS, which the service center never contacted me for repairs, despite waiting 6+ months. Got a feeling the spoilers will be put off for a long while too.

Somewhat disagree.

There's no better advertising than seeing a performance model on the road, gliding down the street in its intended form. If it's just enough for the person on the fence to say "I want one of those" and places an order for a P instead of AWD or Mid-Range, then it was worth it. On the flip side it may also help them to decide against it LOL, which is why I somewhat disagree.

Except to most non-Tesla enthusiasts, a base Model 3 looks exactly like a Performance. There are not enough distinguishing features.

Agreed. That's the point I was trying to make. The spoiler is the last distinguishing feature that's needed to show off the full package. Very few have seen the car in its entirety. As it stands, I even have a hard time telling them apart. It's arguable to have more distinguishing features, but as of right now, Tesla can't even show what little they already promised.

honestly it's just the concept that it's something that's promised for the vehicle that is taking so long to get delivered/installed.

it might be "ludicrous"?

i guess elon could have made everyone wait a year before releasing the p3d so he could secure the spoilers, rather than letting people get their cars early, sans spoiler.

Just got notice from my SA that it could be 'well into Q2 until we receive spoilers for the Performance Model 3.'

I still don't understand how this is acceptable.

I had a dream last night that Tesla came out and offered free ludicrous mode in exchange for not getting the spoiler put on. I'd take them up on that offer if it did come true!

Look, I love my car, but just wondering out loud what Tesla would do if I said, "I want a refund. The car as spec'd was not delivered and you have made no serious effort to rectify the situation."

The only reason why I'm not making a bunch of noise about this is because of the 5k refund. I haven't actually received that check yet of course but supposedly I will.

It's not rocket science to source something like that.

Tesla hasn't even acknowledged the issue. They shipped the cars with no notice and no apology. That's a huge miss. How hard would an email be saying "hey, sorry, the spoilers aren't ready, will be a few months so enjoy your car in the meantime or we can give you $1000 back"

 

[SD_Engnr]

I sent an inquiry with similar wording.

It is because it was on the order page. No one held a gun to head to press the order button. If one is that upset s/he should have waited. Now is the long delay sucky? Yes but not unacceptable given the disclosure imho.

Ps: can copy and paste to FSD thread.

It absolutely was not on my order page. When I ordered my car the carbon fiber spoiler was listed as being included. Zero mention of the car shipping without it...
