Lol. Sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. I was thinking there was a solution that many others had tried. Understand if their isn’t.

Mine started lifting on the drivers side too. It was installed in April, so I guess I should consider myself lucky that it lasted this "long"

Haha yeah, sad when 5 months is considered "great longevity"...
So I made an appointment to bring my car into the SF service center (which installed my first spoiler), and just got a call from Tesla offering the mobile service.
I asked how many spoilers the mobile service person would bring and they said "I can make a request to bring two, but a dozen is a little excessive" so I said thanks but no thanks, I'll bring it in to the SC.
Also, the person on the phone claimed there's a new revision of the spoiler that came out "late spring, early summer" that fits a lot better, but color me skeptical. I'll find out tomorrow, if I can get the part number.
@MarcG,
That was exactly my issue when I got the mobile install 2 months ago. I told him to bring as many as he could to try and find an acceptable ‘dry fit’ and he said he only had ONE! That kind of limits your options....lol. Prob is my SC is almost 2 hours away. So I went with it over no spoiler. Oy. And here I am...Wings flapping in the breeze! Lol
Let us know on that Part Number. I’m sure it’s the one I have.

Just checked my factory-installed 3P+ spoiler. Car was built April 27 and delivered May 2, so 3.5 months ago the spoiler was put on. Looks to be doing well from my quick pics and inspection.

Any updates if a new "late spring, early summer" spoiler revision actually was released ?
@WilliamG,
Jelly!!! Lol. My Mobile guy didn’t use a heat gun on the tape pre-install, just stuck it on. But I don’t believe any of the installs are doing that other than the DIYers and they’re the ones with good installs! Maybe that’s the issue. Don’t know if that makes a difference in longevity.

Good guess
The whole "new part since late-spring/early-summer" was total BS
So I got another once installed and it looks identical to the first one I got installed in April.
Even the installation looks the same, so I wouldn't be surprised if the edges start lifting again at some point.
If the factory use a different, stronger glue than what the service centers do, those may stick for longer.
I guess only time will tell..
This is what I got: Matte Black Carbon Fiber Rear Trunk Spoiler Fits for Tesla Model 3 Real Carbon | eBay
It looks very close to the OEM spoiler. Seller accepter $135! I received it in 2 weeks.

Got ya beat. August delivery. Even tried setting up a mobile appt and was told I’d be contacts. I’ve complained a few times to no avail. I’ve more or less given up.
I vow not to give up the fight.
i'm going to get my damn spoiler even if it's the last thing I do in life.

August 28 delivery for me, so I got you beat by one day
. Just scheduled service for Aug 29. So it will be a year and a day. I was waiting until the spoiler issues got worked out, but gave up since I have a couple other minor issues (AC smell, horn) to deal with.Similar threads
