There's no crying in baseball. You get a thumbs down for contributing to the drama. If empathy was the goal, than leave it at that. Do not make over reaching statements and expect us to take the OP seriously.

I love how 2 people gave the OP a disagree.
Umm? What's there to disagree with? This guy is reporting an issue with a seat belt not being properly installed. If I was him I'd raise all sorts of hell. I'd be practically livid, and I'd leave the evidence to have Tesla come out and document it while fixing it.
This is one area where a lot of heads will roll. I can be understanding of lots of QA problems, but not this one.

Exactly, which is why I'd previously assumed it was a Michigan special.Well, it's not like they can send you to your neighborhood service center.
Absolutely. This is a reportable defect. Not sure this is a design defect though. But that is for NHTSA and Tesla to decide. Even a lowly Corolla deserves a proper fitment of seat belts.
This is where I got lost.
Did you report it to Tesla or to the federal government? Your post makes no mention of that.
That makes no sense at all. Federal govt safety ratings are not based on that sort of manufacturing error.
I checked my seat belts. All good; looks like an unfortunate manufacturing oversight on your part. Good thing you caught it. Grab your wrench and secure it.
On another note:
For christ's sake, it's brakes! Why does this bother me?
egomaniacs need forum to fix their issues
healthy people take the car to service center

Exactly! I'm as concerned as the OP for the well-being of his son. Growing up I a household with that level of misguided self-importantance is going to have life-long consequences.
I agree with you. This is absolutely, uttterly, completely, unacceptable on even one car. This is a never event. Everyone should check their seatbelts and Tesla should make this a recall if this has occurred on additional cars.
Dramatic much?
How many people work to keep a space shuttle from exploding yet it still happens once every few thousand launches?
How many wrong kidneys removed or wrong leg amputations happen in the operating room?
How many wrong medications are assigned with fatal consequences?
Where are the outrage for those "unacceptable even ONCE" events?

^ This, a claim of this 'seriousness' should at least have 1 picture.
You could be right about me being dramatic if this is truly a one-time lack of quality control. But I have seen how poorly assembled my $155,000 car is, from incorrectly installed seals in the doors, trunk, HEPA filter. I've redone some of them myself since that way I know it's done right.
Tesla won't get the benefit of the doubt from me. If there is one of these failures, I bet there are more lurking. I don't trust Tesla anymore, unfortunately, on anything, and especially not on quality control.

redneck drivin' a tesla...
+1 we can only hope that it gets better, but right now...nah!
I know i'm going to sound dramatic now, but if we pass off safety issues like it's something small or not worth raising a stink, what's going to happen when somebody is seriously injured or killed?? unfortunately some on this forum will still be drinking the Tesla cool-aide into the ground believing that their car is "perfect", which it is not, or that there's some justification for it.

I play a nice person on twitter.
People need to lighten up on @TOBASH, seriously. He was understandably upset over something that could have had serious consequences if there had been an accident. Or sudden hard braking. So if he was a little over the top, think of how YOU would react if it were your child that might have been put at risk.
And yes, I love Tesla. You all know that. But mistakes happen. And this kind of mistake is exactly why there are reporting systems. It should be reported. My experience with Tesla is they take things like this very seriously. I think Elon is more proud of safety ratings than anything else. It's a non-negotiable thing.

You're absolutely right and I'm a bit miffed at myself for not catching that... Freaking autocorrect...
