Those little white things? Really?
Not even visible with the trunk closed. Sharpie over that will do the trick

The scratch on the edge there. It is still visible when closed. Also, was deep enough to go through the paint entirely.
With the dealer-manufacturer model, the dealer catches these things and makes the manufacturer pay to fix them. The dealer wants perfect cars to sell and will push back on the manufacturer when they sling crap. Here, the sales guys work for the manufacturer so they try to get you to accept cars flaws and all.
Try calling Tesla and getting to management. Currently it routes you to the delivery staff in your state through the phone system. When I tried, I ended up with the same ding dongs that created the situation. Management turn over has so much churn, not sure anyone you would get to would even care as they blast out their resume to find their new gig.
We just have to accept that the Teslas have many exclusive features, but the company is dumpster fire. After buying 6 Teslas, the 7th attempted purchase cleared this faboi's Koolaid fog. Might switch back to my Model 3 after driving the Bolt for a while. The adaptive cruise and lane keeping (aka "Autopilot") is definitely a killer feature, but the rest is meh to me anyway.
Tax credit on GM EVs/ PHEVs gets cut in half to $3750 on April 1, 2019. We'll see. Volt ended production early. Orion where Bolt is built is only running a single shift (unlike the truck and SUV plants that I've looked at which seem to be running 3 shifts), yet General Motors invests $300 million in Orion Assembly Plant, adds 400 jobs is happening. Go figure.The Bolt was a competitive alternative to the Model 3 prior to the SR/SR+ being announced and the prices of all models dropping on February 28th. I vaguely considered buying a Bolt when the cheapest Tesla was the MR at mid $40’s. But after Tesla dropped their pricing, the Bolt seemed almost silly to me, and that’s even with the full $7,500 tax credit. Once the credit gets cut in half I think the Bolt is dead. I don’t see a 2020 Bolt in GM’s future.
Yes my 12-17 MS had a tiger stripe on the hood and a greasy handprint on an interior panel (that wouldn't come off with any cleaner). Both were noted in writing at delivery and dealt with properly.Has anyone ever received a Due Bill from Tesla?
I have had ZERO issues with my Tesla X over 2 years but I am on my second Bolt as of today and I would rather own a Bolt over a Model 3 (I am a reservation holder) ...It is much more useful for me...more cargo room, hatchback, more ground clearance. I drove the Model 3 and passed especially while owning the X (the best car Tesla ever made).If the Bolt is the right car for you, so be it. But personally I’d settle for a few days of aggravation with delivery personnel over many years of driving a car that is not what I really wanted.

Scratches are not in reliability category, unless you are Consumer Reports.
Not sure why Tesla will not give Due Bills then. I started another poll asking just that question and so far no one has reported getting a written Due Bill. With a deep scratch through the paint, I would have been been happy if there was at least something noting the issue so I could prove it happened before delivery.
Did you have a delivery issue and did Tesla put the issue in writing?
Also for this attempted purchase, I was promised two free Tesla services since I paid $2500 for the SR+ upsell rather than the $2000 I would have got at the time of ordering. I asked for that in an e-mail or something rather than a verbal from some random sales guy. They said they could do an e-mail several times, but basically refused in the end. With nothing in writing, I have had Tesla fail to honor those even when I confronted the actual employee who gave the verbal.
Nice if they will honor something not in writing, but the contract you sign at delivery clearly says that verbal stuff is non-binding.
Just out of curiosity did you inspect this car with the same fine tooth comb?Decided to get another Chevy Bolt. $32,500 with delivery, dealer, doc fees. Full $7500 Federal Tax Rebate and $5000 Colorado Rebate so a net of $20K. I like the Android Auto on these better than the Tesla nav and they drive fine. Not a debate on which is better, but happy with the Bolt for a net of about $15K in savings over the SR+ I tried unsuccessfully to buy yesterday.
