Have a 2020 Aviator black label and your description matches. I think 5 recalls and back to the dealer at least 6 times in 2 years. Ford sent us a "sorry" card with a $250 gift card....Bahaha, I was told that line, too! They told me there's a lot of variability with the doors based on how the press was feeling that day.
And I wonder how many out of this 280k will be in the service center (if they can get an appointment) by the end of January?
I will say something, the model 3 and y builds are very good now. I drove by yesterday and saw two of both and the outside gaps and stuff all looked really great (paint... Well...).
Makes me question why the model s and x can't get to those levels of consistency with such a lower volume.
Then I ask myself, has there been any Tesla ever built that was actually used as a daily driver that didn't go to the shop at least once in the first 6 months of ownership. The answer has to be no. I'm not sure how Lincoln scores even lower on the consumer reports study. They must build some real pieces of *sugar*.

so i entered my 12/1-12/28 date yesterday and then this morning it updated to 12/18-12/31. I would expect and updated, narrower range tomorrow morning if you behave the same as mine did. Good luck!
Ours updated from 12/1 to 12/19 to 12/19-12/31. Not good. We are supposed to take this on a road trip from Chicago to Key West starting 12/28. Dont want to delay our travel and dont want to take our 3 or 2015 S.
I’m running this exact setup for the last 5000 miles.
Hey everyone, I'm getting new tires put on from a third party shop. The guy I talked to said I would have to give them full access to the car. Can I put it in valet mode? Anything special I need to know for a tire change?

Well you can speed limit the car, or activate Valet Mode, or do both! Valet locks the trunk, frunk, and glovebox IIRC.

another interesting (to me) data point - my SA had always been responsive when I've texted him (which is actually some sort of 510 area code, which he told me was actually some sort of shared messaging line - anyway, I'd only reached out to him about 3 times since May (once to schedule a test drive for my wife, and once about something else) - now i'm getting no response.
he can be away.
he can have some days off (same as away)
he might not be with the company (he was a fanboy and with Tesla for years, so i doubt that one)
or, i read here or on another thread, that there may not be individual assigned SA's anymore? is that likely?
i reached out, as i wanted to let him know a blackout period for me if the beast ever comes, and to remind him about all season wheels.
i want to have this stuff "on the record" in case the car comes when i'm away, or it eventually comes with summer tires...in the middle of a snow storm.
i'd appreciate any thoughts!

Nope, not a one. I’ll be rotating them in the next week or so, but the wear seems good and no rubbing or anything odd going on.

from a security stand point, if it is a new car without personal stuff in it, the only ways to get in trouble i think are to have addresses in the nav - but the shop would likely have your home address anyway, right?
if like other cars i've had, even the phone numbers are tied into the bluetooth connection from the phone and not directly stored on the car (i think)
so, other than making sure they don't do a ferris bueller, what would be the downside to giving full access?
similarly, i've always put in a wrong address for my gps (a few houses away) so a thief can't open my garage door (yeah, my insurance card is in there with my address, etc.) - but is there any such risk with the tesla? i think i would need the correct address if i want auto garage door opening.
i'm not even sure if i want that, but i at least want that option.
i appreciate any thoughts.

Well from I could tell, I think @Maybeplaid was probably more concerned with idiots joyriding it, and not so much his personal stuff. Giving 1,020hp Chiron-like acceleration to just anyone I think would be a big sticking point, and that's what I would worry about. I would hope that the yoke would scare away some, but still.
I'm worried about them pulling ferris bueller. Even with the speed limiter locked, they could still keep it in plaid and 50mph is still fast enough to get into trouble. There should just be an option to lock it in chill mode. I'm not worried about it getting stolen or them having access to the glove box or frunk. Is there a setting they need to access that valet mode would lock them out of for a tire change?
I know they're going to say they need to test drive it after the tire change. Funny how the only cars that need a test drive are the fast ones. My slow cars were never tested.
so in my situation (the same) my SA stopped responding after being responsive the entire time. I called the customer service line and they told me that she (Amy) is no longer in a customer facing position. I asked who my new SA was and they said its still Amy. I said well can I talk to her? No. So i dont have an SA anymore.

I remember reading something like this, and in fact sort of referenced it, so maybe it was a prior post of yours i was thinking about.
i know we all or mostly all bash the SA's - i loved my guy - he was great, and frankly told me he had no more information than me, the best place for info was the account page on the web, etc. - i.e. he didn't BS me. I truly appreciated that. he had also shown me his screen for my car which was just about completely devoid of any useful info other than my order; this was probably around june or july.
it's possible he's not customer facing anymore which is a shame. He's the kind of guy I'd offer a job to on the spot (except he was a cool guy, yet still a Tesla fan boy which is fine)
either way, i'd like "someone" to be sort of responsive, or i'll have to start calling random tesla phone numbers.
looks like their customer service actually got worse!!!!!

I had no SA on my MY. I scheduled delivery via a text message. I received a couple text messages from the 510 area code to remind me of delivery appointment. Is the SA different from the delivery person? I did have a delivery person. He was the only person making deliveries AFAIK on the Saturday I took delivery.

Ask @GroovaEV about SC idiots "joyriding" his ride. He can point you to the thread that contains his harrowing story!Well from I could tell, I think @Maybeplaid was probably more concerned with idiots joyriding it, and not so much his personal stuff. Giving 1,020hp Chiron-like acceleration to just anyone I think would be a big sticking point, and that's what I would worry about. I would hope that the yoke would scare away some, but still.
Historically, I would say yes. Currently, no. People might be using their historical SA, like I did.

I learned that this happens when they time time off - vacation or the weekend, which may be any two days of the week...
