It doesn’t take much for that rear trunk hatch to misalign. I got rear ended in 2018 (wasn’t a hard hit at all) and it ended up costing the perp’s insurance $18k - fender plus hatch plus some other parts behind the fender plus paint.
Could you please post a pic or two of the Signature wheels. Also, what finish are they?
@AnselmDante I believe it's more the body shop reporting the accident than insurance, re CarFax accident report.
While I’ve been waiting for my Tesla, I’ve gotten the car buying itch. I’ve always had this affliction since I was a teen, and I experience a flare up every two years.
I’ve been considering an Audi e-tron GT, an Audi RS6 Avant, a BMW 750, or a Mercedes S560. The Audis, like every other car, are in short supply. Like @Texas Electric stated, watching YouTube videos can be detrimental to the wallet and can cause sudden flare ups of the car buying itch. I’m trying hard not to scratch it before a MY or MS arrives.
Unfortunately the manager at our Raleigh SC denied my request for switching out the 19s Pirelli summer tires for the Conti AS ones. He did say we could refuse the car & go back in the queue
@boskog they are gloss black. I had originally wanted triple tinted black. This worked out better for my taste as all the black on the car is gloss as well.
I believe TSportline has one for about $1,000. I’d rather get a more affordable one off eBay though. I have transferred the same cheap knock off I have onto 3 different MSs and it looks just fine.
All of the gloss black looks similar? Black unfortunately comes in several shades. If I were to get these wheels, I'm leaning in this direction, if their gloss black matches the highlights on the car.
&In the end isn’t how I was picturing this
TWSS. Oh, come on, guys! Such easy lobs and no one goes for 'em??One day, this will all be in your rear view mirror....along with other things
Oc, @AnselmDante would've taken the bait, but Bro has bigger troubles at the moment. So sorry for you Dude. You'll be alright and your car too. And don't think twice about the claim submission to your "friends" insurance Co. If he decides to flake on you. It sucks for you both, man.
hmm... thats okay! you can step up too ya know!&

That never should have made it through QC.
I'm pretty upset about it but we'll see how the service appointment goes before I fully blow up. I did another walk thru and it's only on the driver's side door. Most of the forum is taking delivery over the next few months. Add this to the list of things to look out for!That never should have made it through QC.
I just deleted a keyboard smashing rant. Instead, I'll just suggest that you force them to make this right. Let's not allow Tesla to re-define what is considered "within spec"; let's make them deliver a quality product. The only way to do so is going to be to bring this kind of crap to their attention and make them spend the time and money to do it right.
I dunno... but you'd think that it would be far less expensive to do some QC and fix it at the factory than to spend the time and money to fix it afterward. C'mon, Elon, you can do better than this. Sending this car out into the wild and hoping that some guy will just accept it is NOT ok.
They aren't producing Model S's at Model 3 and Model Y levels of production. That being the case, you'd think that they'd have the resources to do decent QC, especially considering the fact that this is their flagship model.
Really sorry, man... what a disappointment.
As promised.
Hmmmm, maybe that was an undisclosed repair/respray panel.... Looks that way. Sorry, man.
That’s my guess or it’s rubbing against something when opened.
