What color is your Model 3?
Took it to Tesla service this morning but they ran out of loaners. So going back Wednesday morning early. They gave me the name of a local body shoo they use in Thousand Oaks, and I called them to see if they have worked on Tesla’s much and specifically the red. They said they do them “everyday”....
Here’s some pictures of what I got going on....there’s even what looks like a hair under the paint on the door sill....

They have their own body shop there? The closest service center I have is in Agoura Hills, but i definitely would like to get it done right....it also sucks to think I won’t have the car for a long while but hopefully they would loan me another Tesla....

Thanks for the photos. Hard to believe that passed the paint department and other QA inspections. Keep us posted.
Wow! This is making me nervous. I ordered a red Model3 about 5 weeks ago and I think I will be too excited at finally getting mine that I might not even notice these types of details until days later. To spend so much time and money to get this incredible car to have it delivered with so many paint issues would be disappointing.
My car is red, just like yours.
The issues I have are almost similar if not identical issues with the defects.
I’m starting to believe it’s just red cause everyone seems hunky dory with the other colors.
What should we be looking for? Can you post some closeups? Maybe it's just me ...

Are they spray painting in the tent?
I have a good story.,.
5/25: Picked up my wife's M3 with noticeable paint defects(pinhole/ fisheye on all panels).
6/8: Dropped off my car to local service center, got a P85 Loaner (no complaints)
6/29: Adviser said vehicle was done, came to inspect, and defects still present. SC said another 2-3 weeks,
7/13: Adviser said vehicle was done, came to inspect, and defects still present. SC said another 4 weeks,
7/24: Adviser said vehicle was done, came to inspect, and defects still present. SC said another 1 week,
7/29: Adviser said vehicle was done, came to inspect, and defects still present after car was brought home.
Cons: Worth mentioning that I had my car for 2x week only and have made a total of 2x payments
Pros: Tesla did give me a Loaner P85, and made other concessions to make me happy(cant say what it is).
Did you ever get this resolved to your satisfaction?
So I called the body shop that Tesla took my Model 3 to. They color sanded all the spots to get a better look. They concluded the the entire mid/rear portion of the car needs to be repainted. If I recall he said the entire car except for the front fenders and hood? Can’t remember if the front bumper is included...
The Tesla rep in charge of my case is out today so he will get the body shop report in the morning and determine if we move forward. Body shop says it’s an expensive job....so....more news tomorrow...
