WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

[b0n3z]

My car is at the service center for the following:
Tesla Model 3 Performance (issues)

During the process, they needed to send it back a 2nd time for a door alignment. They also broke a tab on the passenger rear tail light. It's been there since Monday 8/13/18.

I have also asked continuously when I can expect the carbon fiber spoiler and badging. There is STILL no ETA. I paid extra for this as a package. What upsets me even more is test drive cars have them.

Does ANYONE have their carbon fiber spoiler from Tesla?

If it makes you feel better, I test drove a performance model yesterday without badging or a spoiler.

I saw at least 20 Performanxe Model 3s that were used for test drive events at Hawthorne.

None of them had spoilers or badges.

I think think the spoiler supplier didn’t believe Musk when he said funding secured for net-60 terms.

The Buena Park center has multiple Model 3 for test drives and they all have "Dual Motors" badges and spoilers.

Buena Park is where I stood in line for my reserve. It's not far from me. Costa Mesa is the service center it's at currently.

Are they Performance plus? Tesla told me not to expect my badge until October, more likely really November... sigh

 

[rrollens]

My understanding is only some test drive vehicles currently have them. Saw one this week at Rocklin Service Center. As Stated, best information out there right now Oct. with receipt to owners in November.

P3D+ Spoiler/DM badge Waiting Room
The two test drive cars in Raleigh are missing them as well.

The supplier probably bailed because Tesla wasn't paying them. Bet Tesla is trying to source out to someone else. Very lame.

Mt. Kisco store had two M3P for test drives and neither had spoiler or badge.

That seems like quite a big assumption.

Wow two?....they need one in Charlotte ASAP!!

I know this has been discussed in the other thread, but it's still annoying to know this is an issue. We didn't pay a trivial amount for these add-ons. I feel like we all should tweet this to Tesla. Should get maybe a discount for those who've been waiting on the complete performance upgrade package.

Not really.

 

[Runt8]

Not really.

Does Tesla have a history of not paying suppliers?

Well this was back in July:

Terms of Service Violation

Yes, they were all P3D+ (Performance Package with Red brake calipers) Red Exterior and White interior.
I think Buena Park has 2 or 3 of them. Next time I pass by their superchargers, I will take a picture and upload here.

FYI, it wasn't red under bar, however. Like P100D, it was a chrome bar, as far as I remember.

I can see that the badge means a lot to you.

Terms of Service Violation

Statement from Tesla:

Negotiation is a standard part of the procurement process, and now that we're in a stronger position with Model 3 production ramping, it is a good time to improve our competitive advantage in this area.

We're focused on reaching a more sustainable long term cost basis, not just finding one-time reductions for this quarter, and that's good for Tesla, our shareholders, and our suppliers who will also benefit from our increasing production volume and future growth opportunities.

We asked fewer than 10 suppliers for a reduction in total capex project spend for long-term projects that began in 2016 but are still not complete, and any changes with these suppliers would improve our future cash flows, but not impact our ability to achieve profitability in Q3.

The remainder of our discussions with suppliers are entirely focused on future parts price and design or process changes that will help us lower fundamental costs rather than prior period adjustments of capex projects. This is the right thing to do.

Nothing that implies that they don't pay their suppliers.

It's a red underline for Performance. Kind of hard to see, particularly because most of the demo cars that have it are already red exterior.

You got a car at least, most people are still waiting for that and have been for 2 years 5 months. Should I get a discount because my config was given to people way behind me in line?
