Loose panel: warranty?

[IGdawgI]

The panel in front of steering wheel is slightly loose and rattles. It's located right above the speedometer/gauge. You can see where it's loose and it rattles during low speed. I thought of just sticking some paper in it, but afraid it'll just go all the way in. I can probably stick a thin piece of double side tape to prevent the rattling, but that's just a bandage.

Just picked up 2015 85d with 30k miles. Has Tesla warranty.

The advisor says it's not covered in the warranty.

Thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance,

It’s probably missing a screw or clip fastener.

I know rattles aren’t covered, but you might coax them to check for missing fasteners...

Man. That's sucks. Glad I bought used. If I spent $110k for a car to be acting like this, Id be pissed. Out of over 20 cars I've had with various mileage, I've never had any interior trim pieces rattle.

Say it's is a missing fastener, would that be covered?

Supposedly rattles are not covered after 12 months but if it's loose it might not be considered a "rattle".

They might do it out of Goodwell if you are nice about it. Could depend on how busy they are.

Is there a Ca joke on this?? Ears opened... I just know we say hella often. Or maybe it was hella loose. Lol.

So, they waived the fee to fix the loose panel.
Probably because the app alerted me to pick up the car and I went. But when I got there 40 minutes after the alert, the car wasnt ready nor washed.

Then literally after inspecting the car and about to take off, autopilot feature unavailable pops up.

So, car is back in for service again. I'm going to have a loaner car longer than Ive owned my car after Sunday

I had a similar problem with my first car a CPO P85+. The Tesla Rangers fixed as part of the warranty.

I dont have a service center in my state, but the Mobile service is great !

I had some missing clips in the Frunk, some were lost by the Ranger doing the steering bolt recall.

I used the EPC to identify, Google to repair the ones remaining. I bought few from the SC. Goodwill saved, for when I really need it.

And the ones I found were LOOSE.
