Service appointment I don't need? Or do I?

[TSLY]

My first service appointment is this Monday, 11-22-21, and I'm not sure it's actually necessary. As a street smart, clueless, first time Tesla buyer, I did my due diligence, hit the web, got the apps, and scoured TMC and Tesla-Info for tips and tricks on taking delivery. As a result I catalogued every anomaly I could find, slightly misaligned panels and parts, etc, and submitted them for service in the Tesla app. Having lived with my MY over a month now, I've come to realize I got a very solid build with some minor issues. I'll post a few photos so you get the gist. Bottom line, I don't want to leave the vehicle overnight, especially without a loaner, and I fear the service department will F something up worse. On the contrary, it'd be nice to remedy those issues that do exist without suffering any consequences. What to do?

Keep the service appointment. You did buy the car right? Either Tesla will disappoint you or they won't. Just another step in Tesla ownership. I am sure you can do it.

Street smart, and clueless? Can one be both?

You might want to walk around the lot when you get the to Service Center and compare your issues with the other cars sitting there. They may have customer cars plus others waiting for delivery for you to inspect.

I have my first service appt at the tesla service center for one seat heater not working and rattling of some seats. They said it should take 24 hours or less so they can't give me a loaner to use. Is that normal ?

too much social medias unnecessary posting/complain make the Tesla car ownership pain in the ass. Make sure your issues are genuine & practical.

Misaligned panels seems like something that should be fixed, aside from that fact that it would drive me nuts personally, down the line in terms of car value I'd want them aligned as well. Not sure that social media has anything to do with poor quality on a car that cost what this does. As for the other issues you noted, hard to say without knowing what they are, but really comes down to what are you willing to accept from a new, not inexpensive, vehicle?

Absolutely. Street smart people ask questions when they're clueless. That's how you get to be street smart.

Sure. I really thought your post was a spoof. Afraid of something you would have to do at some point in the future with almost 100% certainty assuming you kept the car for any long period of time. Was wondering why you even bought the car.

If they won’t give you a car they should give you Uber credits.

Your post is oblique. Clarification please?

No clarification needed. Just take you car to service. Everyone else does. Have a nice day.
