Hello,
I just picked up my used 2016 AP2 Model X Red Metallic from Tesla. During the pick up I noticed few issues. Tesla as expected is claiming that used vehicles are "as-is" and that they wouldn't fix many. I am still working through the process to getting them addressed.
Most of the issues are cosmetic so far so I am not as concerned but at the same time they were not revealed in pictures so trying to see what they will take care.
1. Falcon Door both sides seem to have resulted in pain having peeled. I remember reading on forums here that its normal but being a Red Model X, it seems to be too obvious. I am going to try to have Tesla repaint of fix them but since they may come back, is there any kind of plastic guard that can be used so as to prevent the paint peeling. (attached pictures)
2. The falcon door trim on top part (look at picture) is lifted. Tesla claims its cosmetic and wear and tear item. I am concerned that during rainy season may result in water coming in as well as this may lead to the glass issue. Has anyone else seen it and can you provide any guidance?
3. The car was a 60D that was upgraded to 75D. I asked them to badge it right and I am told now they badge it as Dual Motor. That seems lame. Should I have them remove the badge or put the Dual badge on?
4. Wheel Trim: There is some misalignment. Tesla again claims a common issue with X. Is there any thing to do about it or should I just let it go?
5. Yellow screen issue - I am going to wait on this to fix later. Hopefully a permanent fix
6. Wheel Shudder - I am not yet able to replicate this but I am told it exists. What should it feel like? I want to get this fixed when I can provided I can get it replicated.
Any guidance is appreciated.
