I have a 2018 (March build) Model 3 RWD with 117,200 miles. I have had work done on several occasions and have had it all done at the same service center. They have treated me well and usually resolve issues with work done. Problem is, there are often issues.
Control arms done twice. Once under warranty, once on my dime. Had to have the car realigned after initial work completed.
Drive unit replaced under warranty along with half shafts. Warranty. First attempt failed, half shaft broke within 12 feet of pickup, but all good now. Again had to have the car alignment redone a few days later.
Windshield x 3. Construction on my 100 mile a day commute, sigh. All at my expense. One replacement had the base trim whistling while driving. Fixed afterward.
On my recent windshield replacement the dash pad was scratched up pretty bad. They tried to fix with cleaner but to no avail. They have offered to replace the dash pad.
Out of curiosity I looked up what I thought would be a simple process. Yikes, the entire front interior has to be removed. Display, steering wheel, air bags, center console, seats, etc.
I am worried that the removal and replacement will introduce rattles and squeaks after the work is done. I am well out of warranty and am not sure that any complaints about noise after can be proven or resolved without a lot of grief.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
