Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[donnysaurusx]

Input on Tesla QC.

Picked up another MS today, a 4880xx VIN, August 2022 production.

Two words: PRETTY DISAPPOINTING.

1. Drooping c-pillar interior trim, with large gap at top.
2. Misaligned front bumper at headlight/fender.
3. Wrinkle and tear at rear 2/3 seat back where it rubs against 1/3 folding seat back.
4. Dents, pick marks in other portion of rear seat back.

All at delivery. Pics to follow….

A. First mile of driving revealed rattle sound from front, center IP, near swivel screen.

Tried to get some addressed or at least recorded by Fort Worth Delivery Ctr, but was told to just file a service request via the app.

Elon: Ten+ years of building MS’s, and well over a year of Palladium MS’s, and you’re STILL shipping six-figure garbage like this?!? PLEASE: Either fix QC at Fremont, or start firing people.

Thanks.

Several and similar issues with mine too: Frunk headlight gap, driver side door did not close flush, trunk not flushed on both sides, misaligned taillights. Paint issues on trunk - one spot is showing metal and another spot has a piece of hair in between the layers. Service center says it will need to go to a body shop to be repainted

Pics or it didn’t happen?

Here are yesterday’s delivery pics from our August-build MS, 4880xx. None were to be repaired prior to or at delivery: “Just use the app to make a service request.”

As you should well know, that means at least some three or more weeks of waiting, perhaps more.

Come on Elon, after TEN friggin’ years of building MS’s Fremont can sure as heck do better than shipping garbage like this. Why put customers into Tesla Service Center Hell on Day 1 of their new rides?!?

Either train Tesla people in Quality (see: W. Edwards Deming) or start rolling heads until you stop shipping Fremont’s problems out for customers to fix: that’s just stupid and you’re not stupid.

Not depicted is the obnoxious rattle in the center IP—doesn’t photograph well….

Even at less than six-figures, this level of quality is pure BS. At six-figures, it’s grossly Unsat.

Fix it STAT as we’ve got an entire planet to save and this makes it so damn hard to recommend Teslas without being embarrassed for all of us on this mission.

Thanks.

I’d have rejected…

I’d have rejected…

It’s in Texas where Tesla is HQ’d, but where Tesla sales are illegal. (Go Texas Auto Dealers Assoc.—pay off those legislators!j

This POS was already paid for several days before delivery.

Finally got the car wrapped and CF bits applied. Really wish tesla offered more factory colours on these cars

I can't make my upcoming date work and need to reject my car. Anyone know how I actually do that? I tried looking on line at my account and I can't seem to find an option to that. Also, do I just wait for them to reassign me another VIN? Thanks.

Explain the situation to a human at Tesla; they make exceptions sometimes…..

 

[NeoKopp]

Sorry to hear. Man, I’m picking up one on Thursday. Blue/Cream. I picked one in June. Got lucky on that MS and is perfect. Hope this one is as perfect (August build - fingers crossed)

I picked up MSLR Blue/Cream today. Fortunately, it is in good shape. Compared to my white MS, the panel gaps on the hood are are no that tight. But acceptable. Overall I’m a happy camper. I was skeptical about cream interior. It looks great.

Actually texted them and they responded back they can release the VIN and put my account on temp hold and then out me back int eh queue.

So is mine

 

[ShockWave]

WooHoo!! A little over 6 months after it was ordered! Finally got a VIN assigned! Looking forward to this!

 

[Laddcruzer]

I am not!

Doesn’t matter. Green is supreme !!

 

[Pcm888usa]

Doesn’t matter. Green is supreme !!

With wrap, there is no limit. I saw an orange one the other day. Sharp.

 

[SpencerPac]

I can also say I finally got a vin assigned after about ~5 months of waiting for a long range! (Red on black with fsd RN1166XX). Reached out to my advisor with some questions and it turns out that they are shipping with summer tires which is crappy considering I live in the northeast so I will have to buy some all seasons once getting the car.

Is there a consensus on the best Apple Watch app to use for Tesla? Thoughts?

It depends on what you want to do. You need the Tesla Apps to access your car and start you car. You can lock and unlock your car anywhere with your phone. You can turn on or off AC or lowering window. You can see where your car is driving if you share the account access to someone else to drive your car.
