2015, mine doesn't have this issue.
The new post-facelift cars seem to be very poorly built. I can't wait to hear about their reliability record in a couple of years.
Man, I've gotta tell ya. It drives me absolutely insane to be sitting in the front seat of my beautiful, self-driving, technological marvel knowing that if I were to engage autopilot, reach into the back seat, pull the seats down and stare at the area normally covered by the rear seat back I might be able to see a gap where the carpet meets the trim piece.
I'm never going to be able to look at this car the same way again.
competition is coming, tesla better be prepared to compete. as soon as the "big boys" get into the ev game the only thing that tesla will have going for them is their wide supercharger network and with the expansion of commericial charger networks that too will change in timeThis is a symptom of the same old problem with Tesla.
ZERO competition. If Tesla had to compete with other manufacturers, they'd fix these sorts of things, or they wouldn't keep selling so many cars.
But until there's competition, they really can do anything they want.
I don't care enough to go check my car. This isn't something that I'd ever see under normal usage.
I agree it shouldn't be that way, and the QC sucks, but I see no need in making a mountain out of a molehill.

Except the national debt does affect me and you in many ways.That's the same approach we are taking to our national debt!

Would you mind sharing the problems with the 2016 car that made you invoke the lemon law? What all issues it had? Sorry to hear your experience. It definitely is concerning to see Tesla not taking care of basic quality control issues. I am seeing wildly different experiences. Some people love their car and have NO issues whatsoever and some people have very glaring and basic functional issues that should NOT be there. As an owner and investor, this doesn't make me too comfortable knowing that this car is in its 5th year of production and yet many customers are having these issues.Kort - please provide examples of Tesla's excellent quality control? are there any? I really want Tesla to succeed but owning 2 of them has been an exercise in extreme patience and one that will not let me recommend the cars to anyone. Our 2015 is going to Dania on wednesday for a failing ac compressor and non responsive door handle. The 2016 is in the process of getting sold back to Tesla via the lemon law. Please explain how Tesla's QC is getting better.

Have you seen the BMW i3 "frunk"? It's basically a plastic storage container nail-gunned to the car.Do you think BMW/Audi/Mercedes would deliver a car with these basic fit and finish issues?
"You're buying into the revolution in automotive design," and "You're buying a crown jewel of technology" is enough for some. But I don't think "You're also buying a very expensive car" should be overlooked on the way to the revolution.

I think the types of people they end up hiring for a car manufactured with this level of quality are people who deny problems and blame you. They did that to me, rudely, at my first service center (I've since found a much nicer service center). It turns into a how can you prove it game.Very loud rattles from the panoramic roof (mostly fixed after 3 visits - they treated me like I was crazy and didn't believe me until finally one technician admitted there was an issue and was able to mostly fix it)
