I am totally regretting for not rejecting this car on 3/31. It's been sitting at the service center for 1.5 weeks waiting for parts to fix the passenger door. They haven't even started on the rattle issue or order the dash pad for it. On top of not able to fix the FWD rubbing paint off, I hope...

So I brought my car in last Friday to get the passenger door fixed and have the rattle looked at. I told them I had complained about the rattle at the last visit and they agreed to remove the $105 charge. Went on a road test with a technician and the rattle was easily reproducible. They have...

I had noticed the rattle on day 2 of ownership and thought I could live with it given all the repair horror stories. I brought it up at my first SC visit a few weeks ago for other issues but the SA said I would have to open a new ticket. They deferred one of my repairs to tomorrow due to part...

I'll definitely have a talk with them tomorrow. Officially the Tesla limited warranty excludes "normal noise and vibration" (page 7 of the linked doc). https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/Model_3_New_Vehicle_Limited_Warranty_NA_en.pdf

Originally going into SC tomorrow for passenger door issue and I added rattle/squeak from steering column/instrument cluster. Now they are sticking me with a $105 charge for that! For a brand new car.... That's horrible!

Yeah I'm perfectly okay with the external alignment as-is. I just need them to stop the FWD from rubbing paint off the frame. My 2019 X didn't do that at all.

I went and took some pictures... It looks like the alignment with the driver-side door looks good. The alignments towards the back show the FWD is about 2 to 3mm too low. Perhaps if the SC can move that up a bit the rubbing will stop. It's a complex piece of 3D puzzle; I don't envy their job...

I thought FWD rubbing paint off the door frame had been solved a long time ago. My brand new X is doing just that. Have to wait 2 weeks for SC appointment for parts for other issues. What's the prognosis? Am I destined to lemon this thing? Alignment at the roof and bottom look good. The...

I was able to set up my phone using a fob. My old X only had fobs so I didn't think much about it. I went back to the delivery center today and they had the cards in the office. Yesterday one rep told me everything was in the car.

Argh... Looks like they didn't give me the key cards. Going to drive back to the DC in the morning.

Colma. They are not a service center so they can’t really do any diagnostic. I really agonized over the decision. After I had accepted, the app showed the car was in “service” mode. Talked to a rep there and he got someone to take it out of that mode remotely. I asked if he could add free FSD...

At the delivery center right now and debating whether to reject. Right FWD thinks there’s obstacle all the time. Top panel between windshield and FWD has some bad scratches. Hate having to deal with service for a brand new car.

Only time I've seen Plaid with no badge was in the Tesla service center with the display vehicle

It may matter more for end-of-quarter push when they are looking for the lower-hanging fruits to increase sales. My EDD was moved up to end-of March/beginning of April from August despite not having my trade-in section completed. Being in the SF Bay Area where the factory is helps, too.

Placed my order on November 11th, 2021.
