SC gave me a free tool to keep..

[moswissa]

Got my MYP back yesterday after getting the acoustic cover installed. While driving at low speeds i noticed a rattling sound over speed bumps. Found a giant pry tool hanging from the passenger bumper. Guess the techs left it there by mistake. Could have been way worse

seriously tho, the kind of ppl Tesla hires to do work is crazy. I’ve personally met them, and not to be a stereotypical prick but a lot of them seem like low life stoners without a high school diploma.

I hope you are going to call and offer to return it...

I would tell them to schedule a mobile service ticket: left tool in bumper

Being a stoner does not indicate anyone is a “low life”. Lots of functional people who’d rather consume something that is an antioxidant and neuroprotectant (US patent 6630507) rather than a poison like alcohol.

Maybe they were just slammed. My service center was yesterday when I did touch less delivery. They apologized profusely for being 5 min late.

I hope you did the right thing and returned the pry tool.

Mobile service tech left his tool lights in my trunk. I texted him to come back and he was very surprised, because he said he still has his work lights. Maybe Tesla factory leaves tools hidden in the trunk? To make it easier for future repairs that will happen? lol

Hmmm... interesting I got a "funny" reaction on that post.

Yes, I would not go out of my way to return their screw up. They are welcome to retrieve it if its really worth that much to them(looks like a $5 Milwaukee tool from home depot)

Free Tools!

No, seriously, I would email them to let them know that a tool was left behind but I probably wouldn't schedule an appointment or go out of my way to return it. Just my $0.02.

Similar experience but after taking delivery; when I got home was again checking the rear seat reclining button in the rear hatch area. Flipped the seats down and noticed between the trunk area and the rear seat base what seemed like trim that was not attached .... was concerned it was broken trim for the area/more shat to report to Tesla. After taking a closer look, it was actually (extra) exterior trim for the rear passenger side window/door. Don't know what to say "well thanks Tesla"? Too bad it wasn't an extra touch screen display. Hopefully I won't need it but more proof of the assembly line process.

If you thought to write the preface "not to be a..." you were 99% of the way towards "not being a...". Next time, get that extra 1%.

maybe not stereotypical - but yes on the prick. Lots of those folks are likely overwhelmed with work because of poor QC at the factory.

If they did a nice job for you overall, and it isn't too far to drive, I would return the tool. You will be remembered for doing the right thing.

Group may be too old for this but reminds me of the Benny Hill show where the Doctor stops the patient while he is leaving the hospital because he lost his watch inside the patient during surgery.

They can certainly do on their dime... but the thread title implied simply keeping it.

I honestly expect the Service Center to simply say "keep it", but I'd hope someone would give them the opportunity to get it.

New Easter eggs?

Didn't Steve Jobs smoke tons of weed and do acid?

I found a crow bar in the suspension arms of my old car (not a Tesla). I found it changing brakes one day. It had been in there for years.

Now it's in my garage and I've used it so many times it's great.

...a friend of mine from grade school did. Lost his home/wife due to that addiction. I’m not saying everyone will have the same thing happen to them.

This is like a $5-10 pry tool. You can return it on your next visit, but Don’t worry about it. Techs leave tools in cars all the time and it’s the cost of doing business with careless technicians.

A retained foreign object. Definitely a reportable event
