So here is the difference between Tesla and all other manufactures. Tesla’s are shipped via common carriers that are small firms capable of transporting 2-8 cars at a time. These are 3rd party contractors that bid on transporting Tesla’s. Low bid wins. Problem is the quality of those transporters runs from poor to excellent. I needed to ship my Corvette this past January from Utah to NJ and had a difficult time securing a spot because Tesla had the majority of the contractors tied up shipping M3’s.
When the shipping company arrived with my Corvette (intercity, excellent enclosed carrier) he has 3 Tesla’s, two M3 and 1 MS on the truck. There are so many crisscrossing the country they pick them up to fill their trucks. Obviously the 3 on his truck were transported exceptionally well. But that’s not the case for all of them. Some are very poor, thus the varied problems people see.
All other manufactures use auto carriers that have contracts with the auto makers. Some ship their cars covered, some are shipped enclosed. On the rare occasion a car is damaged there is a set claims process to document and repair it. Those repairs are supposed to be disclosed at time of sale.
I have worked at various dealerships in the past and bought lots of cars, only once was a car presented as repaired due to shipping damage, it was priced accordingly and included the repair details and cost.
Tesla has no such system, cars are delivered, obviously checking them isn’t done the same way, again leading to the various issues.
I was supposed to pick mine up last Thursday but like the OP found various issues, some manufacturing, some most likely caused during shipping. I declined the car. Repaints are very subjective. IMO painting a new car should be avoided at all costs.
