    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I returned it because I felt deceived as a consumer. The reason for the return was the repair of the front fender, specifically, it had been repainted, which meant it was no longer in its original factory condition – it had two layers of paint! I only noticed the fender repair when I got home...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    So, here's the deal. I had this hunch that they might've touched up a part, maybe repainted it. I mean, the paint job seemed pretty top-notch at first glance, but then I noticed some overspray on the inner bits. The whole front end, especially the headlights and fog lights, looked like they'd...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I had 4 delivery reschedules for my MSLR 2024 in March. Turns out, the car had undergone front fender repaint (noticed it post-signing). Returned it after 42 days with 960 miles on it. But you know what's cool? Realized I need the Plaid. Already ordered it, just waiting on the VIN.

    You're absolutely right about them hitting the door hinges with a hammer and dull chisel to adjust the gaps on the doors.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I can assert with 1000% certainty that the body was repaired, as I'm a painter myself and have painted car bodies. There's no doubt it was all done in a garage; they didn't even remove the parts for painting but painted directly on the body. I absolutely refuse to accept a repaired car for which...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    It was extremely difficult to find for an average person. I've been involved in car repairs, painting cars for 15 years, and now I specialize in complex structural straightening. White pearl is one of my favorite colors for painting. What you see in the photos are small yellowed streaks...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    So, this past Saturday, I finally got my hands on my little MSLR with only 24 miles on it, ordered back on January 27th. I wanted to share my dreadful experience. Upon receiving it, as usual, I had to adjust and align all the panels - I was prepared for that. Then, I noticed the front...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Today, I got pretty bummed out... I was all set to pick up my MSLR on the 8th, but then the manager tells me they've put a hold on handing out the LRs because of some issue with the Moroney sticker. I also asked about the Plaid models, and they said there's no delay with those deliveries.
