But it’s definitely a fraud. I’ve even discovered and contacted the transport company that brought the vehicle from the body shop to the Mannheim facility in Newburgh, NY.
Tesla retained Mannheim to manage the CPO storage and logistics.
What exactly is the fraud? Is it possible that it had been in a collision and the prior owner paid someone under the table to patch it up and not report it to anyone, but when Tesla went to sell it as a used car they noticed the bumper cover was damaged and got that repaired. Bumper coverage damage isn't something you normally report/disclose. Tesla might not have known about more extensive damage. (I'm just making something up here, as you haven't shared any details so we don't have any clue what fraud you are claiming that Tesla has committed or what the prior owner has told you.)
You really need to stop calling it a CPO, unless you bought it more than a year ago. Tesla hasn't had a CPO program for more than a year.
Shouting fraud with no basis is the recipe for a lawsuit. Against you.I’ll refer to it as The Tesla used and abused experience.
100% consumer fraud in NY State, I’ll double down on that. According to the NY Attorney General. I’m giving Tesla until early next week before proceeding with my formal complaint. Once that complaint is executed, I won’t settle until justice is served and a decision is made by the state.Shouting fraud with no basis is the recipe for a lawsuit. Against you.
If it was indeed sold to you with "clean repair history" (I assume you have clear, written evidence) then you likely do have a claim. "Fraud" may be a bit over the top, but there's enough to prove you are entitled to be made whole by Tesla fixing the problem (or refunding the sale price, or replacing with another comparable CPO).100% consumer fraud in NY State, I’ll double down on that.

The previous owner backed into a pole right before returning the subject leased vehicle to Tesla. She returned to Tesla with the damages, got her new Tesla, and the vehicle was transported from the Tesla facility to a body shop, and then back to the Mannheim facility in Newburgh, NY. Tesla charged the previous owner a substantial amount of $ for the repair, but basically put a band aid on the car. Already spoke with the transport company too, gathered my evidence, etc. Prior owner is fully cooperating too. This vehicle was represented to me as a clean vehicle with no history of body repairs. I could’ve bought tons of them that had “previous repairs” and saved substantially. I elected to buy a clean car with no body repair history, low mileage and an incredible warranty. Obviously that didn’t happen.
The pressure buffeting associated with this incident is unbearable. The adjustments don’t work. The rubber stopper on the right lift gate totally miss the round plastic shim on the bottom. I noticed the lettering on the trunk lid was askew, but Tesla told me that was normal and was applied like that at the factory. The rear of the car is in a state of failure. The area on the right of the liftgate is deformed. This has been an absolute nightmare. I’m enamored by Tesla’s, I also have a model x P90DL, with zero buffeting whatsoever. I’d rather settle this matter amicably, but Tesla’s lackadaisical attitude and inconsistencies are leaving me with no option but to “drop the atomic bomb”. This is now more about principle. After the state is completed, I’ll spend more than the car is worth with counsel, just to make my point and prevent others from being taken advantage of. The loudest voice in the room always wins, especially when I’m 100% in the right with substantial evidence and a cooperating witness. That’s how I operate! I’d rather enjoy my Tesla experience and not have this unnecessary drama, but I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire life. I’ve never been given the run around by anyone like this.
And which Tesla model do you own?Don't give up and keep us updated. Tesla is getting away with too many crap just because people are convincing themselves they're in love with the car and praise-all-mighty Elon who can't do wrong.
And which Tesla model do you own?
I've been trying to visualize what's going on with OP's car and may be yours if it's similar. With the deformed rear end of the OP's car (slight assumption there on my part) I imagine that there is some air leakage around the tailgate seal. Depending on air preasure inside the car vs lift / lower pressure acting on outside of tailgate, the tailgate could act like a big 'reed' (as in wind instrument) and get pumped up and down sealing and releasing the tailgate weather seal. The relentless 'hammering' of the tailgate on poorly adjusted stops / bumpers could cuase the cracks / fatigue around the mountings.2016 facelift S with similar buffeting noise issues.

Good luck and keep us posted. It's fortunate you were able to contact previous owner and towing company to get details on what happened to your car before purchase. They simply need to fix it properly, otherwise you seem to have the details required for legal recourse. Hopefully that is not necessary.100% consumer fraud in NY State, I’ll double down on that.
