Plaid owner experience: Melted chargeport, Passenger door pops open while driving, AP Cameras bugged. 21 days in service in first month of ownership.

What a nightmare. It takes real skill to consistently deliver a half-baked rushed to market product months to years late.

My door unlocked itself too.
This issue is real. I started a thread here:

Had a door unlock at 80 mph on my Plaid

So yesterday I am on the highway at 80 mph and I get an alert that a door was not shut. I pull over and sure enough the door wasn’t shut. I heard it open. I had no warnings when I left 8 miles earlier. Has this happened to anyone? Luckily no one was behind me so I could slow down and the door...

sad to see. As an early S owner I'm happy I was doing the beta testing when they still had amazing service. I think every part of my S was replaced except for the sheet metal. Some pieces multiple times. But back in 2013 it was all valet service never had to set foot in the service center. Now that the car has been rebuilt its as reliable as a NY taxi. I guess I'll get the plaid after they make atleast 50k of them and discover how to make opening sunroofs again.

I would email them. Idk how this is rule breaking. If I had to guess I’d say your account just got reported a lot.

Full story on my twitter account. You can ask me anything here also.

I'd be in a rage if I were you. Please blow this up on Twitter and social media. Elon Musk deserves to get seriously spanked over this.

Plaid is obviously (to anyone who pays attention) a half-assed and rushed release designed to placate Elon Musk's ego after being crushed by Porsche at Nurburgring in 2019. Even the Model 3 at 1/3 the cost is manufactured to a higher quality standard and with newer components than this so-called "refresh".

If I'm spending $130,000 on a car, you can be sure it's going to be made by a proper performance car manufacturer. One that doesn't fall apart in the first 6 months. Wow.

Even the Model 3 at 1/3 the cost is manufactured better and has newer components than this so-called "refresh".

I'm curious, what components in the Model 3 are newer than the equivalent in the refreshed Model S?

Fight back. They are trying to take your rights away.
