Hi all - I posted this on Reddit and it was pretty controversial… however… I feel like I want to share it here as well to see what others are experiencing. Full disclosure, I did not take photographs because I was focused on the checklist and going over the car with my wife.
My story:
After years of saving up for a Tesla... and the recent price cuts, I went all in on a MYP. Yesterday (4/4/24) was delivery day. Everything was ready, I sold my car, I arrived for my appointment and began looking over the car. Immediately noticed that there were significant panel gaps (I thought this was solved), the bumper wasn't set correctly, the windshield was all pinched to one side. There was a giant gouge in the driver mirror and a ding in the rear driver door. Before I even sat inside the car l refused it.
Stay vigilant, teslas production issues are still a real thing. I've read the stories but never thought it could happen to me. I should have taken pictures but I didn't feel the need to because it was so obvious the car deserved rejection. The manager even agreed.
To make matters worse, now I'm carless and I live in a state Tesla is not legally able to deliver cars so l have to drive 1.5 hours to get to the nearest center. They were unwilling to give me a loaner because that is for 'service only'. Not a great start to the Tesla world.
