Model S Plaid: Paint chipping on Rear quarter panel and doors

[EPOWER PLAID]

Love this car. I don't drive it on dirt roads and only hand wash. My rear quarter panels are getting chipped. Looks like the New flare out is catching the road debris. Anyone else seeing this on their car? only 800 miles

his?

Yep, me too. Took it to Tesla Service at Burbank and they stated that it normal wear and tear. Translation...we did not baked your paint long enough during production to cut corners and fulfill more orders faster. Sucka the customer like us who paid over $100K and paid extra for a different color so the sand or debris picked up from the front tires can damage the soft paint job on the rear quarter panels. That's Tesla 4u--always thinking for the bottom dollar vs. quality and customer service. Best get it repainted and have PPF installed. Or simply not drive the soft paint Tesla. Better yet, trade it in for Lucid.

Don’t let the door…

OP, very picture is why I had my entire plaid ppf’d. I bought a 21 f150 plat in black last year. Amazing truck but the rock chips irked the hell out of me.
