So I took delivery of a performance model S 100 about three weeks ago. I really enjoyed driving the car 150 miles or so from the closest dealership to my home. A week later, with about 400 miles on the car, my Tire Rack authorized installer mounted a set of snow tires, and was sad to inform me that the drivers front inner tire was ruined as was the rim quite scratched up. He indicated that this appeared to him to be from a car carrier or rail car. He found a “automotive body finishing screw“ in the front passenger wheel. Needless to say I’m disappointed, I have a brand new $109,000 car with two bad tires and a scratched up rim. I believe that these were present on the vehicle at the time of delivery, I am not accustomed to jacking up a brand new luxury vehicle and inspecting every inch of it at the time of delivery. Tesla is indicating that any damage noted after 100 miles is my responsibility. I’m asking the local Tesla repair facility to try to escalate this to their supervisors but have been promised that this is unlikely to lead to anything. Any advice? I totally love the car otherwise! And by the way, I did not hit anything, I am meticulous about my rims, and have a good track record of not hitting curbs.
