    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    Thank you for the information. The Tesla Collision Center in Kansas City was outstanding to deal with. The lady on the phone was helpful and very kind and polite. They actually called me back just like they said and the body shop estimator was knowledgeable has even followed up with me. He...

    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    Thank you for your input, but I did not make my post for friends. I was hoping that someone might offer some suggestions. I have been in shock with the lack of customer service provided by Tesla. It is clear that Tesla still has some bugs to work out when it comes to service and that fit and...

    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    You Tesla fanboys are missing the point. The car is my 50k asset and I have 20 years experience working in the aviation maintenance industry. I want to be involved in the repair process to make sure the quality of the repair is good the first time. I requested to know what was going to be...

    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    That was my point. I was feeling pressured to get it repainted by Tesla and wanted time to gather my thoughts and research the issue.

    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    It hard to tell in a picture but the defect has depth to it and it more visible in depending on the lighting. My main worry is resale value.

    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    There were also other issues besides the paint. I had to have a seat recovered. Sorry a picture doesn't do it justice on a forum. You have to see and fill the defect in person. I had a third party bodyshop look at it and they agreed that the entire hood should be repainted to do the job correctly.

    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    I have a Honda with 360k miles and it has only been to the dealer once for an airbag recall and it has the original engine and transmission. The point is that Tesla quality control is pathetic and my experience with the service department is just as bad. They could easily give me a $1,000 credit...

    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    I somewhat agree with what you are saying, but even the local service advisor said that it might affect the value if the car was sold. You can feel the spot and I am worried that if it is covered with paint protection film that a bubble might form. I asked Tesla for some sort of compensation for...

    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    I was pushing for a new replacement hood from the factory. I was told by the local service advisor that there would be issue in the color matching and he said a lot of stuff like that gets damaged in freight. At this point all I know is Tesla is a mess when it comes to service. I am totally...

    Brand New Model Y LR Paint Defect on Hood

    I purchased a brand new Tesla Model Y LR. I took delivery at a Tesla location several hours away. I took the car to my nearest Tesla service center thinking the area could be buffed out. I was told that the hood would need to be repainted by their bodyshop and that if I wanted to have it covered...

    Illinois rebate program

    It is my understanding that there is no issues with them signing it electronically. They could have wet signed it and then scanned and emailed it. My delivery location was outside of Chicago and the manager said that several of the Chicago locations were refusing to sign the forms so their...

    Illinois rebate program

    Did anyone else have issues with Tesla signing their form? I was told very little about the rebate during delivery. I emailed my form to my sales advisor at the end of October thinking they would electronically sign the form and email it back to me. For a company that does everything...
