This is completely unacceptable as there are more than enough posts here to prove what happened to you is not possible, Build quality "up to par?" how is this possible? No rattles, No way! Body panels line up? This can't be true! I was just reading where a guy was saying he had body panel gaps at the door a mile wide! the door was open but still! Please be careful of future posts like this here as people might get the wrong idea and think this is an awesome car, hahaJust to balance out the negative threads here so prospective buyers don't think buying a 3 is like suddenly finding yourself in a new Jordan Peele movie or something.
I put a deposit down before it was revealed.
I waited because our situation necessitated it
I lusted after the P when I read about track mode, but thought we'd get the 3D and hope someday they'd let us buy track mode as an add on.
My wife got a job back here in town, and I found out Tesla would give us decent money trading in her C class.
We test drove a P3D+. I was suitably impressed but was expecting to be. My wife was blown away. The sales guy was nice but had some sketchy/incorrect info. Not surprising or particularly off putting.
We bought a P3D+. They had one in stock that was the color we wanted. They couldn't apply the deposit because it was a new reservation (heh) We got the refund within a week after I requested it.
We took delivery a week after test drive. The delivery (at my house) was totally painless and took way less time than any new car delivery I've been at.
The body panels line up.
The build quality is on par with modern cars in the same price range.
It's the most comfortable car I've ever driven, with the most adjustment range of seat + steering wheel I have ever experienced.
There are no weird noises, except passengers giggling delightedly when I mash the accelerator.
The car drives like it's a sedate sedan when you want it to and like it's german sports sedan that just did a line of meth when you want it to.
There have been a few weird software/operation things come up. Some are glitches, some get fixed with updates, some just pop up sometimes and never come back. So what. All cars do weird things at some point.
I still don't have my spoiler or badge but..meh. They're both stick on cosmetic pieces and I don't really care.
The car is so good I forget it's an EV sometimes, then I remember, and I'm like..oh hellz yes.
I'd buy another one.
All kidding aside while I only have the lowly RWD LR, I have had it 11 trouble free months with almost 21k miles and am glad to hear you are loving the car, this is my first Tesla and am an EV convert for life because of this car!
