the lower paint damage is Tesla's problem for sure but the other stuff like scratches around the door handles and the crazy spider webbing is all because of bad washing technique. Like the other buy pointed out you even have scratches and spider webbing on the plastic charge door which we all have and I guarantee you mine doesn't look anything like that.

I know... :/ I have not mistreated it ! Car price is 96.000 $ @ Finland why would i do that.

It is my first brand new car ever!

Maybe the "pros" you have washing your car aren't as pro as you thought.

What I’m saying is that the charging cover piece did not look like that when you got the car and has to have been mistreated. That’s not a standard painted part.

Tesla Model 3 Presents A New And Different Case Of Rust

 

[super20g]

Yes, his seems to have a lot of swirls that would probably buff out for now, but it looks like he has a lot of thin paint issues as well. And if you look at their facebook group, there are a lot of people that post in there and on twitter, reddit, etc. with a lot of paint issues. A lot more than one would expect to be seeing.

You guys need to understand that Tesla fremont paint shop is in big troubles.

Here is 25 days old model 3 from Canada and has only 1200 km.

I mean what the big hell? Blaming customer after 25 days / 1200 km??? Who does that?

"I've had the car for 25 days, 1200 km traveled in traffic, film xpel the front and despite that the paint started to be sold on the side of the bumper around the wheel. It's made that I remove big pieces that hang every day. Without the film even more paint would have gone. Tesla answers me "normal wear and tear" by email and accuses me of driving on gravel. (it seemed to me that the wheels were planning the rear and not forward). The paint doesn't properly stick to the bumper and according to them it's my fault... not to mention that I also had to buy paint to make a touchup on a chip present on delivery since they were not able to do Better than a 2-Year-old. Only reason why I would try to recommend this car is tesla service "

That is exactly what they replied me when i complained in Finland.

This is made up answer from Fremont.

So @Johnii__82 : what about the new car?

 

[Johnii__82]

So @Johnii__82 : what about the new car?

Yep... Or full refund... Or complete body paint ( price 17.000 - 25.000 $.... ) Everything needs to be ripped part.

They offered you all three options?

We have only silence atm from tesla.... Court is also possibility. :/

On the more involved issues, Tesla seems to only respond to arbitration, court, demand letters from your attorney sometimes, attorney general cases... And even then they dont always respond or show up to appearances... They didn't show up to a recent court case and the guy was awarded a 'defect free replacement'. Jokes on that guy, no such thing.

Elon Musk recently stated that the Model 3 is made to last and the body is designed like a commercial truck with a million miles of life.

But still, the cars will rust in less than six months and the funniest thing is that the warranty disappears when the car is driven out of the shop. Have fun watching the video.

Hey guys, pick up my M3 SR+ white today.

Any VIN clues for the paint issue?
Has anyone tried measuring the paint of a few to compare or would the thickness not even be the issue?

New Evidence Seems To Show A Tesla Model 3 Fender/Frame Rust Issue

 

[Scrannel]

I used to live in Vermont (which is province of Quebec) and would see this sort of thing after one of our winters. Now that I'm in So. Cal can't remember when I've seen this sort of paint rot. That said, California has tight restrictions on paints, and not sure the good ole polyurethane can be used. Picking up my white Performance 3 in three days. Will watch the edges.

Mine is peeling pretty easily only day 2. Paint does seem thin. Who's fault is it if paint is thin and it's easily wearing and tearing?
