Rejected my delivery today...MYLR Austin built

[Emav]

MYLR white, Austin built...Things I noticed:
-Misalignment front right doors and left rear door
-paint chips on front right door
-front fender corner(close to side mirror) pops up quite a lot.
-right headlight not aligned(or sitting in...one side of the headlight pops up a bit).
-trunk & sunroof glass gap is really big even within standard.
the only thing they said they guaranteed to fix is the paint chip. The rest are within standard. they can take it to SC but not guaranteed the technician would fix those.
TBH, if they said they would fix/adjust to make those better I would take it. Rejected it right away and finger cross next one will be better.

I just tell them i am not gonna take the vehicle. they sent me a message asking if i want to "HOLD" . I replied "HOLD" and they release me from that VIN.

So no loan? And then insurance needs to be cancelled I guess.

yes loan. but as long as you are buying the same car, they should be ok. definitely give your loan company a headsup. and cancel the insurance.

How long are you keeping “on hold”? I rejected mine (rare HW4 produced in Austin in early May) two days ago too because its passenger seat floor was moving and made unbearable thumping sound. I was told not to remove the hold until a new vin is assigned. But my SA on text told me I can remove hold whenever ready for the next VIN.

I was told we have 2 weeks, but on app it has 7 days. I removed my "hold" after 48 hours and got assigned the exact same VIN this morning. Called SA to resolve this.

Disappointing that these issues still exist. I put up with them on my 2020 M3LR, but plan to be pretty picky when I pick up my MYLR this weekend. It amazes me that the concept of aligning body panels continues to vex the assembly line teams. Remember the old Lexus ball-bearing commercial and their "relentless pursuit of perfection"? Tesla's motto must be the "relentless pursuit of, 'Eh, close enough!'".

Elon your quality is terrible.
You can be as picky as you want but there will always be issues and they will always say it’s in spec. Basically we are forced to buy cars and when I picked up mine, they said don’t worry everything will be addressed as long as you report it under 100 miles I fear once we drove it off the lot it was done. I’ll just have to learn to deal with this even though I’m OCD and this mismatch makes me nuts, but it is ““ in spec.

Tesla will not make adjustments until people scream to the point where they’re losing sales but once they open up the aftermarket chargers for other companies like Ford I think they are going to start losing sales big-time since the charging center is the only real advantage.
