2.5 years ago, I ordered a black Model S (How to find out even an estimated quarter of an estimated year of delivery?).
It finally arrived, kept old price, but... it looks overused or carelessly driven and washed to me. The odo says 30km (which, considering it was made by USA and not in EU and so likely had to be driven to a ship and shipped over and driven to-from ports is not much) but the scratches look like careless driving and/or cleaning and brushing.
For a car of this price and caliber, I find this unacceptable - see pics. What would you do?
Note that:
1. I realize they would have no problem selling this to someone else at the "discount" because I am getting the price from 2y ago. So they might polish this and then just say, here's one that had to be polished but is cheaper than a perfect one you'd order now.
2. I bought 2 model 3s before, a black and a white. The black one had tail scratch problems on delivery that were UNDER the coating and so could not be polished out, and other hairline scratches, just like this one - but not to this extreme. The white one was fine, the hairline scratches do not show as much. So this would be the second time I let is slide, and it just seems like they're making a fool out of me at this point.
