I hear lemon law. 30 days in the shop makes an easy claim. Drive it all you want and enjoy the car. Tesla really did this to themselves.

Wiki Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist

Tesla doesn't care as long as there's a demand they're going to keep pumping out shitty quality cars. Although I hear the 3 and Y have far fewer problems.
I believe someone did sue Tesla under the lemon law and they lost. This was a plaid owner that had the half shaft issue. I made sure to be able to have the service advisor test drive the car with me verifying it did not have it along with a hundred item checklist before I accepted.

Model Y and 3 was more designed for mass production. They didn’t have that with the S and X in mind. It improved but still behind other more senior car designers.
Guys make sure your service center has the parts ordered or that they've arrived before going in for service. I've been screwed over twice now and on my third SCHEDULED appointment to have some parts replaced. Each time they just said the parts haven't arrived yet.
It's incredibly annoying that someone couldn't pick up the phone and call me the day before just so i wouldn't have to drive 3 hours over, sit in the show room for hours until they grab my car for service then tell me they can't do anything. Some incredible BS.
Also who's idea was it to swap to just hands free check-in for service appointment now? (This service center claims their working on getting rid of it or making it a secondary option)
Parts needing replacement:
Door sill had a dent in it
Rear glass distortion
Door handle paint defect on the inside (colored piece)
Center console light issue.

Maybe related to the recall? Tesla recalls 130,000 vehicles to fix touchscreen issues caused by an overheating CPU
Has anyone noticed their DRL stay on while car is off?
Mine stays on for both headlights after a long time in the garage. My visit to the Service center came up short and was told it's a firmware issue that's being looked into. I spoke to another service advisor (seemed to be a manager), he checked and said there was no such thing and set up an appointment to have it looked into again.
Center console fix was rejected the first time around. The same advisor actually checked the parts catelog and agreed with me on the switches. He said it should be a no brainer to fix

I took delivery of my 22 S LR yesterday and so close to being perfect but I have three issues that I have to have fixed.
1) busted speaker above rear passenger
2) loose carpeting in hatch storage area
3) plastic piece rattles under screen after using the tilt feature. Stops after pushing up on it but if you tilt again it starts again.
Hopefully these will all be easy and quick fixes. I have a mobile appointment later this week.

I was expecting the delivery of my MS LR tomorrow. Then got a message at 6PM tonight that they discovered "an adjustment" that needs to be made on my car by a certified bodyshop so my delivery was postponed! What kind of issue would require an adjustment by bodyshop?

Hmmmm… bet it was more than that. If not, less than a day. If delayed longer, you know it was more…
Did you guys ever get this rocker panel issue fixed? Mine that I just picked up has this issue
Picked up my model S today (my third Tesla). Pretty pissed, as this is the worst build quality I have experienced so far. Had a couple issues I wanted to post here to see if anyone else had similar. One is the rocker panel misalignment and if anyone has got theirs fixed, the second is this weird windshield/dash trim alignment where I can literally see into A pillar on the driver side.... Dont even get me started on how horribly the left side of my trunk is aligned. Service advisor already stated im going to have to get a new bumper due to debris in the paint, same thing on A pillar for passenger but I guess bodyshop will have to repaint that

I have the same issue as shown on the third pic.
Paint quality is better, but the interior assy quality is worse than my '15.
All black, so you don't notice it that much. Have not decided to keep the new car yet, the old car is fine, and I can replace it next year with an MX.
