Paint correction on NEW 2024 model Y Performance

[TBAnnounced]

I picked up a 2024 model Y performance a few days ago. It’s been in the garage since. Decided to get ash the car and noticed all embed contaminants into the clear. do I make a service appointment and have some bad Bodyshop try to buff it or do I clay it and compound it and polish it myself and take hours out of my life to try to make it right? Or do I bring it to a professional and send Tesla a bill?

There isnt any path forward where Tesla is going to pay for your paint correction, regardless of whether you try to send them a bill or not, so your only choices are do it yourself or higher someone. There isnt any other choice that makes sense that can be executed on.

Mine too recently came with some interesting items in the paint and I am going to have them look at it. What I will ask them to do is not do anything if there's nothing that can be done. I absolutely don't want them to make it worse.

Tesla is not going to even look at the bill so my recommendation is hire someone to do a stage 1 paint correction in your area so you're not spending the same amount in tools/materials to do the job. Unfortunately this can be common compared other manufacturers but will leave your car looking better than factory.
