The 2013 85 we have at work is still solid also. My '16 75D has had 3 rattles, two of which I was able to locate and fix and I have a good idea where the 3rd one is.
Just calling it as I see it and without my blinders on. We continue to hear about quality problems such as panel gaps and chrome alignment issues, rattles and squeaks, improperly installed rubber seals, and one owner received a car with a big hole in his A-pillar. The latter doesn't get through unless there's a major breakdown in QC from the factory all the way to delivery.
Nobody is debating that there are many issues with many cars. What people are saying is that it's not a only Tesla thing. I have had 8 cars in the last 17 years, all most from different manufacturers, most of them new, and the only one that was close to perfect was the '08 Prius and it was a salvage car I repaired myself. The Dodge Neon that we bought new, years and years ago was a close second and the Tesla is currently 3rd. Everything else ranged from minor annoyances (Nissan Leaf) to garbage you would not want to own 5 second out of warranty (Chrysler Sebring Convertiable).
It's not the wires. There are styrofoam blocks glued to the back of the headliner and they can make contact with the metal part of the roof making a little rattling sound. A small piece of felt between the foam and the roof usually does the trick.
Ha-ha, very true. My wife never heard any of the rattles and tells our friends that I kept bringing our old S in because I "enjoyed chatting with the guys at the service center"
It's worth taking to the SC.
Could you please describe the rattle a bit more? My Sc har changed a lot of expensive parts om my late dec S with air susp, but still not fixed. The sound I hear is a muffeled, asynchronized sound, only able to hear it on poor road surfaces in speeds below 40 km/h.
