I’m currently lemon lawing my plaid. Similar issues but I had way more exterior problems. Been in the shop for 70 days and no one started working on it yet. Glad to get rid of it. Definitely not going back to Tesla again.
The sped up driving segments mess with my eyes and really are not needed. I would keep an eye on the drivers door rubbing thru the paint, my neighbor had the same problem and the car has been back twice for door hinge adjustment issues. I'm not impressed with E cars at all but if you like them thats all that matters.
The fog you get on the inside of the glass is from offgassing of the plastic! that’s why in the summertime you’re not supposed to sit in a hot car once you open a door! There’s nothing wrong with you wanting your car to be nice
To me you are a perfect example of traditional valves guy that embraces the future. I would love to purchase a Tesla but the charging infrastructure isn't there yet in my opinion and I LOVE my diesel truck.
Anytime you pay boo koo money for a car, you want things to be 100 percent, like the way you pay attention to the gaps and the lines of the car to make sure everything is straight, enjoyed your post Jared. 🇺🇸
I wish they had charged it. I like the car. It’s great for a town car. I live in Bush Alaska so I will never have a Tesla. 4x4 off road all the way here. Love the channel. Sort of a one man band, “Top Gear” for the average Joe. I like that.
The only thing I disagree with Jared… Is imo I would have not left the dealer with that car in the condition they delivered it to you in the first place. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!! Even though it’s fast I personally think Tesla sucks! Thank God that dealer was good. This is why I haven’t purchased one yet. Happy motoring Bro. If that’s what we can call it now. lol
I’m glad they fixed your issues especially for the price of the car, I own a 2021 Model S Plaid same color as yours but I got the cream color seats with the carbon fiber, now I’m looking at my Plaid to see any disfunctions but so far everything looks good with no issues for me just a little wear and tear on my yoke a small area on the left side, great informative video
I was a detailer at Clearwater Mitsubishi, back in the early 90s. Every new vehicle and any serviced vehicle that chose the service, was washed and Teflon waxed, tires and wheels washed and confitioned. Interiors were vacuumed and the vinyl or leather were conditioned. Glass cleaned inside and out, and Teflon waxed on the exterior. Streaks were unacceptable on any surface. Granted, base vehicles received less attention to detail than the improved or custom, but the standard was 'remnant and streak-free' or we'd go on report. My opinion on your Tesla experience: Flaws = Disgruntled employees bent on retribution for Twitter. 2022 is NOT the height of American craftsmanship and work ethic. Mediocre Service = Low Standards, No Supervision and/or EOE and no decent people applying for the job. Disgruntled millennials who hate capitalism, and begrudge you a purchase they will never work hard enough to earn for themselves. People who enjoy the work they do, and take pride in the fruits of their labors tend to produce output that speaks well of them, and nurtures a good reputation. Picketing socialists, on the other hand, only take pride in redressing illegitimate grievances by disrupting the whole of society and demanding we all stop ignoring their [incessant] plight and jump onto their bandwagon, bound for '⚒️Utopian🌈Springs⚒️'.
I won’t lie…. I was biting my nails hoping they did right by you. Lol. I’m glad they did. You’re not being trivial in any way. Any new car should be done right but the price of those they need to make sure ALL is good. Can’t wait to see more videos with it. 🇺🇸👍
Hello Jared, big fan of your channel Guns and Gadgets and now Freedom Garage. Congrats on your purchase of your Tesla. As a former car hauler in the bay area of California, I was fortunate enough to haul Teslas out of the Fremont California facility. Part of the hauling process was to inspect the vehicle before it ever made it on my truck and I must say I found a lot of irregularities as far as quality control, and as yourself, I also thought of buyers paying out all this money and this is the kind of quality they're paying for? It just didn't seem right. Unfortunately it starts from the plant and it seems as though there's no final quality control inspection as the vehicle rolls out the door. I can point it out as part of my inspection, why can't they? Don't get me wrong, I think they're great vehicles just not impressed with their quality control.
When you purchase a new vehicle at any price it should be as nice as it can be when it's delivered. Service people should be happy to fix any problems because they get reimbursed from Tesla. When I sold new Honda Motorcycles, we would go over them with a fine tooth comb to make sure they looked great. The only customer I hated was the rare one that would berate the employees if some little thing was under warranty and needed repair. No call for that. Thanks
Nice vehicle, although I don't know if I would ever own one. I like gasoline better. I have enough problems learning all the quirks of my 21 Silverado.
Test drive one sometime. The instant torque is so addictive... You can feel gas cars in front of you working thru the gears as you linearly accelerate behind them... Nothing like being able to go 155+ MPH in first gear nearly completely silently...and while the cars are a bit heavy, that battery being below the centerline of the wheels really makes it feel very planted in corners...and driving down steep mountain roads you won't be braking, not braking, braking, not braking... Just modulate accelerator and watch your battery charge up. Regenerative braking is awesome not only from an energy point of view but safety. If your brakes failed you could safely keep the car under control with just the drag from the regen.
Amen... I have left so many dealerships and I had to go back because they have either chipped my door scratch my paint... like you said, did a terrible job of cleaning. It’s insane people don’t care!
Agree 100% a new car is a new car must be perfect, especially that expensive if a vehicle. a a dealership most have a detailing program that is sop on glad they fixed it
my dad is geting a model y in a week or 2, really like the model s , hopefully one day i will get the model s long range dont need that much power for me lol. good info
I’d love to see you do a video on a Nissan GTR skyline. Please don’t make me have to go buy one so I can do a video on my own ha ha ha. Glad they fixed it for you.
I have bought several cars new and every time they were done right so this was an eye opener for me. Makes me really want to build my own electric even more now heheh
That's pretty poor qc and assembly for any car, especially at that price point. I would be really reluctant to take delivery of a vehicle with that many visible problems. How many are there that you can't see?
very cool! glad that I found out about this channel, have watched g&g for years and have always been a car person. would not hesitate to watch you doing car videos. me and dad have a 99 xk8 and an 08XK, the xk8 is my car but dad prefers driving it so much lately that we might have to switch
Nice car! Looks like they did decent work. You're right to expect things to be done properly, ESPECIALLY on a new car purchase. Unfortunately, QC has gone down over the years significantly. I used to work in a shop, and part of the job was receiving products, checking everything out and only signing off on things that weren't damaged. What sucked was, much of the metal/material was wrapped in cardboard, and it would often be filled with metal shaving that would scratch the hell out of everything, but you couldn't see it until you take it out of the package. Too many people out there now that just don't care about other people's things.
I would be pissed to have that many issues with a brand new car, especially that expensive if a vehicle. I would also be pissed they didn't top of the charge when finished fixing the issues that forced you to take it back. I could care less about a vehicle, but this who keep their cars in perfect condition shouldn't have to deal with shit like you had to!!
I don't think you are picky at all, I agree with you, you paid good, hard earned money for it, it should be perfect know matter what. Please do a video on your tattoos, your ink looks very interesting. I'm enjoying the new channel!!
Umm hey Jared? The gaps and panels and whatnot were fixed but you didn't notice half of your steering wheel is missing bud ! Tell 'em to save that loaner thingy lol. Take care man and hit 200 ! 🐍🇺🇸
I remember going to the dealer with my brother to pick up his brand new 98 Camaro SLP. It had a sign in the window that said DO NOT TOUCH, WASH, or DETAIL! It was covered in dust! My brother had it done with a special paint job like a metallic black & he didn't trust the dudes at the dealer to wash it correctly or use the proper rags to avoid spider webs in the paint. Yeah, my brother is SUPER anal about that car. Takes him hours to wash & detail it. He won 1st place 3 years in a row at the chevy car show with that beast. Oh yeah 6 speed manual trans TON OF FUN!! But he still won't let me smoke the tires. He let me drive it one time on my birthday and he gave me the look of death because I chirped the tires shifting into 3rd LOL!!
Back in the day, in the 80s, I worked in a Chevrolet dealership. I worked in a body shop, rubbing cars out. I ended up in a new car department cleaning new cars, and sometimes prepping them. I personally think that is unacceptable, with the drivers door hitting the fender. I can’t believe someone would be that stupid and not even see that, let alone hear the noise. I realize that we’re all humans and we do make mistakes. But that is pure neglect and should’ve never happened. I don’t care how much money you spend for a car. It’s a good idea that you’re taking it to your friend who can check the paint. I’ve had a lot of experience in paint, I’ve never done any painting per se, but I have the experience of rubbing out cars and-know not to break the blend. I’ve seen so many cars that had paint work done and I can see exactly where it was painted….most people can’t spot it!… I love your new channel, keep up the good work! Thanks😎
Keep an eye on your front camera over time. Mine hazed up pretty bad, had them pull the camera and clean the glass in front of the front camera modules. 2017 Model S owner, have had a few issues here and there but it's still the most fun car I've had... My biggest problem with it is how low it rides... Coming from a 2008 4Runner V8 That 4-5" ground clearance can be painful. I've smacked the battery pack on speed bumps a few times, and pulling out of steep sloped entry/exits for parking garages can be nerve racking, esp if you have 5 people in the car. Am pondering a Model X for the next car. Also let me know how your screen holds up. The portrait mode displays had issues with the screen yellowing all around the borders (But they can UV light it for a day or so to clear it up)... Oh and expect your daytime running light 'eyebrows' to fail, be sure to check those before your comprehensive warranty is up, they'll eventually fail anyway but good to get it fixed one last time on Tesla..
Jared, have you watched any of those videos of the Model 3's pedestrian detection when driving in a cemetery? Does your Model S have that same type of detection option? If so, just for some S & G's you should take a drive around your local graveyard and record it for us!! Maybe a Halloween Special video!
Say what?? On a side note, I had a guy driving about 25 MPH on a 50MPH road with ALL of his lights off... Car slowed down suddenly (Was on Autopilot) and I was like what the heck,....then saw the car. Have also had the car assume control (When I wasn't even in autopilot/cruise) and steer out of the way of a car that suddenly drifted into my lane. Had this happen 2-3 times. It's a weird feeling as the steering wheel goes slack sorta like you hit a patch of ice.
up north with the winter roads, a guy in our group who has a 3 saw the paint chip off the rocker panels and sees rust on suspension and had to replace a suspension part out of warranty. luckily the Tesla group mentioned where they could get one used.
I would have liked to see your face after getting on that accelerator a bit. I would have to imagine being pinned back into your seat made that ride home joyful. 😂.
Tesla cars new been having issues like ya show here . The mangers in body shop n design needs more better quality control attention. Your right to point out issues on ya Tesla plaid here just like other car owners vlogs does . For da money u spend . Nice car Tesla plaid s.
Coworker got a “Tesla” and had nothing but problems from day one,had all of the same problems as you and then some. Eventually,he got rid of the car after having to deal with one thing after another.
Seriously dude, why are you concerned about what any of your viewers think including myself? This was your hard earned money, spending 100K + on a car, so "YES", you have every right to expect a pristine product upon purchase, and when there are issues like what you have experienced, there should never be any hesitation on the sellers part to go above and beyond any hurdles required for its' resolution..... IMHO.
Please know that I really enjoy your gun/2A content and I really appareciate what you are doing for the community. I would consider myself slightly to the right of Atilla The Hun... Now, with all of that being said.... You really need to be more clear and provide more detail on home charging... For example: you didn't even mention that the 4 MPH home charging was a 110V outlet. (I get 5 MPH through my GFCI in the garage btw...), you didn't mention that you can get 28 MPH charging at home through a basic 50 A outlet [without buying *anything* else from Tesla]... Also, you could have broken down the cost of home charging... Here in S FL we pay $.12/KWh so a full fill up is less than $13...... I don't mean to sound like a dick, but you are reaching *a lot* of people [on the right] that would never otherwise even consider a Tesla because... "EV BAD! NO SOUL! VROOM VROOM GOOD!" and on such a controversial topic as EVs, you really need to provide more info more clearly. Please read this in the manner in which it written... Trying to help others learn about the benefits of an EV! It is the future! This is coming from a gun toting, freedom loving Gear Head that has had over 10 cars that I personally built and all had between 1000 RWHP and 1700 RWHP..... I get it. I'm glad your Plaid is fixed! I also had the gray goop upon deliverybof my Plaid... Like you, I had a couple of small issues that they fixed over a week. I too had a M3 loaner... Elon has admitted that there are still some panel gap/quality issues as well as service issues that he is aware of and actively working to fix. The man is trying to save civilization but still acknowledges his shortcomings and is committed to trying to address them... For those of you that are reading this and might want to learn more about Tesla, I recommend following Rob Mauer (Tesla Daily) and Steven Mark Ryan (Steven is a douche of gargantuan proportions, but he is very very smart and cuts through the media BS & FUD on the daily) here on RUclips.
No free courtesy recharge..🚫⚡️🔋....what a bummer of those bums at Tesla , they should have replaced the charge that they used when servicing your vehicle
That they haven't cleaned your windows is just plain lazy. They need to check the car over before they hand you the keys. At least they fixed your complaints, but they can still do better. I hope they adjusted the hinges on your door or it will scrape off the paint again.
Every single Tesla video made by the owners show the same issue and I'm sure Tesla knows about these issues, so why don't they just fix them before they sell them? From what I've seen there is no pride in their work
@@FreedomGarage just like any #Warranty ain’t worth the paper it’s written on we all know that. Do you really think your warranty is gonna cover a $14,000 battery and they’re just gonna soak that up I doubt it🤔🤔🤔
Gosh that is annoying with an over $100K car and then add the hour drive, I don't think I'd be very happy. It'd be nice if Tesla hired an outside group to check QC before the cars leave the factory. Seem like great products but with some pitfalls - repairs and parts, panel gaps, paint As CA just outlawed ice cars from being sold new come 2025, maybe Tesla's service network will grow to a more reasonable size. But, with being the highest value company IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, they need to up that fir and finish.
The fact that it’s proven electric vehicles at this time and day have a larger carbon footprint than gas. I’ll pass. As well as the fact I drive cross country a few times a year. I’d literally have to add days to my trip just with charging time. 👎🏼
Ray with The XRing channel bought a Model Plaid Tesla recently. He used to be a driving instructor for Mercedes Benz. Listen to him talk about driving his Tesla vs the best cars Mercedes ever built. He could not say enough about the acceleration and handling of the Tesla. If love to see him put his Tesla through a road test at the Mercedes facility in NC. He not only is a great shooter, but a fantastic driver!!!

I’m currently lemon lawing my plaid. Similar issues but I had way more exterior problems. Been in the shop for 70 days and no one started working on it yet. Glad to get rid of it. Definitely not going back to Tesla again.
I agree with you, that when you buy a new car, it should be correct, and clean.
100 % agree with you Jared!
You're absolutely right! If you buy any new vehicle it should be pristine before you take it off the lot the first time!
I’m happy you “satisfied”. Stay SAFE.
The sped up driving segments mess with my eyes and really are not needed.
I would keep an eye on the drivers door rubbing thru the paint, my neighbor had the same problem and the car has been back twice for door hinge adjustment issues.
I'm not impressed with E cars at all but if you like them thats all that matters.
That knight rider steering wheel rocks....It's Hooters time..
For the money they charge you have every right to be picky about the detailing they did or didn't do.
I completely concur, Jared!! Congrats on getting the Tesla back!!
I agree, even if it isn't an expensive car it should still be done right.
💯
The fog you get on the inside of the glass is from offgassing of the plastic!
that’s why in the summertime you’re not supposed to sit in a hot car once you open a door!
There’s nothing wrong with you wanting your car to be nice
You are exactly correct. It better be done right!
To me you are a perfect example of traditional valves guy that embraces the future. I would love to purchase a Tesla but the charging infrastructure isn't there yet in my opinion and I LOVE my diesel truck.
Anytime you pay boo koo money for a car, you want things to be 100 percent, like the way you pay attention to the gaps and the lines of the car to make sure everything is straight, enjoyed your post Jared. 🇺🇸
I wish they had charged it. I like the car. It’s great for a town car.
I live in Bush Alaska so I will never have a Tesla. 4x4 off road all the way here.
Love the channel. Sort of a one man band, “Top Gear” for the average Joe. I like that.
Just curious after charging it up for a full month straight how much is your light bill????
we have averaged about $60-$70/month over the last 2 years.
The only thing I disagree with Jared…
Is imo I would have not left the dealer with that car in the condition they delivered it to you in the first place. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!! Even though it’s fast I personally think Tesla sucks! Thank God that dealer was good. This is why I haven’t purchased one yet. Happy motoring Bro. If that’s what we can call it now. lol
Don’t sell yourself short. I also came from nothing to make it on top. For a while I felt guilty but you have to realize that you worked hard for it.
Appreciate You! Keep after it!
I’m glad they fixed your issues especially for the price of the car, I own a 2021 Model S Plaid same color as yours but I got the cream color seats with the carbon fiber, now I’m looking at my Plaid to see any disfunctions but so far everything looks good with no issues for me just a little wear and tear on my yoke a small area on the left side, great informative video
As a Tesla owner, I totally agree with you on quality issues, especially with Tesla.
I was a detailer at Clearwater Mitsubishi, back in the early 90s. Every new vehicle and any serviced vehicle that chose the service, was washed and Teflon waxed, tires and wheels washed and confitioned.

Streaks were unacceptable on any surface.
Granted, base vehicles received less attention to detail than the improved or custom, but the standard was 'remnant and streak-free' or we'd go on report.
My opinion on your Tesla experience:
Flaws = Disgruntled employees bent on retribution for Twitter. 2022 is NOT the height of American craftsmanship and work ethic.
Mediocre Service = Low Standards, No Supervision and/or EOE and no decent people applying for the job. Disgruntled millennials who hate capitalism, and begrudge you a purchase they will never work hard enough to earn for themselves.
People who enjoy the work they do, and take pride in the fruits of their labors tend to produce output that speaks well of them, and nurtures a good reputation.

Definitely have the paint checked-hard to tell in the video-but it looked like touch up-Brads will tell you right off-on your suspicions
Jared, Sorry you're having problems. Keep the great content coming. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed week.
Thanks, you too!
That's pretty poor qc and assembly for any car, especially at that price point. I would be really reluctant to take delivery of a vehicle with that many visible problems. How many are there that you can't see?

Looks good. It took awhile, but I guess that’s fine given the body and paint work needed.
I'm a fossil fule kind of guy old school for me things I can afford but good luck to all whom own the electric car
Glad to hear you admit being “blessed”. 8-)
Absolutely!
Should have double check the gap on the front end. After you opened the funk, I mean hood, I mean bonnet...🤣
I would be pissed to have that many issues with a brand new car, especially that expensive if a vehicle. I would also be pissed they didn't top of the charge when finished fixing the issues that forced you to take it back.
I could care less about a vehicle, but this who keep their cars in perfect condition shouldn't have to deal with shit like you had to!!

That fender too door gap looked like I did it in my garage lol
Umm hey Jared? The gaps and panels and whatnot were fixed but you didn't notice half of your steering wheel is missing bud ! Tell 'em to save that loaner thingy lol. Take care man and hit 200 ! 🐍🇺🇸
I’m so picky. Every time I buy a new car/truck. I tell them to not even clean it!! They make it worse trying to do so!
I remember going to the dealer with my brother to pick up his brand new 98 Camaro SLP. It had a sign in the window that said DO NOT TOUCH, WASH, or DETAIL! It was covered in dust!

Hang on to your great car. 50000 miles you are on your own.
good part is the batteries and drive unti are covered for 4 yrs/150,000 miles.
Jared, have you watched any of those videos of the Model 3's pedestrian detection when driving in a cemetery? Does your Model S have that same type of detection option? If so, just for some S & G's you should take a drive around your local graveyard and record it for us!! Maybe a Halloween Special video!
I literally found out about that last night. I will be checking that out for sure!

If you got the funds to buy a Model S Plaid, you don't need my support!
I'm with you on that, I have a model S 2018, and I'm so done with Tesla, I love the car, but for the price, they totally half ass the job on them.
up north with the winter roads, a guy in our group who has a 3 saw the paint chip off the rocker panels and sees rust on suspension and had to replace a suspension part out of warranty. luckily the Tesla group mentioned where they could get one used.
For the money anyone spends on any vehicle it should be done correctly before you pick it up without having to take it back.
I would have liked to see your face after getting on that accelerator a bit. I would have to imagine being pinned back into your seat made that ride home joyful. 😂.
Tesla cars new been having issues like ya show here . The mangers in body shop n design needs more better quality control attention. Your right to point out issues on ya Tesla plaid here just like other car owners vlogs does . For da money u spend . Nice car Tesla plaid s.
I work at an FCA dealership. And when you give a customer their car back, it should be fully charged.
You should never have to return a new car to a dealership to fix issues that they could, and should, have noticed and corrected before delivery.
Coworker got a “Tesla” and had nothing but problems from day one,had all of the same problems as you and then some. Eventually,he got rid of the car after having to deal with one thing after another.
How was the paint repair?
going to Brad's tomorrow morning...
You better keep an eye on that paint chip by the door overtime it may come back if they did not adjust the door properly
They could have given u a courtesy charge...
It seems like they could of made the trunk bigger
How is your electric bill with charging the Tesla?
We have averaged $60-$70/month over 2 years. Its less now as the wife doesn't drive this one as a daily.😎
When you pay that much for a car you have every right to be picky.
Keep us posted on how you like or dislike the new car.
Tesla quality control sucks! Great video.
Yea man, buying new car, for sure.
You get a chance check out a Rivian
Un and Re subscribed! Last attempt did not work????
Here is my 2022 Algorithm
Cool! Just commenting for YT BS lol
so much for quality assurance on the build and on the pre delivery at your dealer
@3:52 ,rule of thumb 👍 Tesla gaps are built like crap from the factory
That's why I bought a audi etron gt over the tesla. Teslas are cool but body panel gaps would have driven me crazy.
Seriously dude, why are you concerned about what any of your viewers think including myself? This was your hard earned money, spending 100K + on a car, so "YES", you have every right to expect a pristine product upon purchase, and when there are issues like what you have experienced, there should never be any hesitation on the sellers part to go above and beyond any hurdles required for its' resolution..... IMHO.
Please know that I really enjoy your gun/2A content and I really appareciate what you are doing for the community. I would consider myself slightly to the right of Atilla The Hun...
Now, with all of that being said....
You really need to be more clear and provide more detail on home charging... For example: you didn't even mention that the 4 MPH home charging was a 110V outlet. (I get 5 MPH through my GFCI in the garage btw...), you didn't mention that you can get 28 MPH charging at home through a basic 50 A outlet [without buying *anything* else from Tesla]...
Also, you could have broken down the cost of home charging... Here in S FL we pay $.12/KWh so a full fill up is less than $13......
I don't mean to sound like a dick, but you are reaching *a lot* of people [on the right] that would never otherwise even consider a Tesla because... "EV BAD! NO SOUL! VROOM VROOM GOOD!" and on such a controversial topic as EVs, you really need to provide more info more clearly.
Please read this in the manner in which it written... Trying to help others learn about the benefits of an EV! It is the future!
This is coming from a gun toting, freedom loving Gear Head that has had over 10 cars that I personally built and all had between 1000 RWHP and 1700 RWHP..... I get it.
I'm glad your Plaid is fixed! I also had the gray goop upon deliverybof my Plaid... Like you, I had a couple of small issues that they fixed over a week. I too had a M3 loaner...
Elon has admitted that there are still some panel gap/quality issues as well as service issues that he is aware of and actively working to fix. The man is trying to save civilization but still acknowledges his shortcomings and is committed to trying to address them...
For those of you that are reading this and might want to learn more about Tesla, I recommend following Rob Mauer (Tesla Daily) and Steven Mark Ryan (Steven is a douche of gargantuan proportions, but he is very very smart and cuts through the media BS & FUD on the daily) here on RUclips.
Wow, just about every comment gets a heart but mine.... lol. OK.
No free courtesy recharge..🚫⚡️🔋....what a bummer of those bums at Tesla , they should have replaced the charge that they used when servicing your vehicle
For 160,000.00 it better be the way you want it...
That they haven't cleaned your windows is just plain lazy. They need to check the car over before they hand you the keys. At least they fixed your complaints, but they can still do better. I hope they adjusted the hinges on your door or it will scrape off the paint again.
🤓👍👌✌🖖😎
Every single Tesla video made by the owners show the same issue and I'm sure Tesla knows about these issues, so why don't they just fix them before they sell them? From what I've seen there is no pride in their work
Definitely should not be an issue!
Electric sucks look into batteries replacement. 😳😳😲🤷🏼♂️ it’s shocking $14,000 for batteries
covered by warranty for 4 years/150,000 miles. Good start...hopefully it will be a valuable asset before it runs out
@@FreedomGarage just like any #Warranty ain’t worth the paper it’s written on we all know that. Do you really think your warranty is gonna cover a $14,000 battery and they’re just gonna soak that up I doubt it🤔🤔🤔
Gosh that is annoying with an over $100K car and then add the hour drive, I don't think I'd be very happy.
It'd be nice if Tesla hired an outside group to check QC before the cars leave the factory. Seem like great products but with some pitfalls - repairs and parts, panel gaps, paint
As CA just outlawed ice cars from being sold new come 2025, maybe Tesla's service network will grow to a more reasonable size. But, with being the highest value company IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, they need to up that fir and finish.
The fact that it’s proven electric vehicles at this time and day have a larger carbon footprint than gas. I’ll pass. As well as the fact I drive cross country a few times a year. I’d literally have to add days to my trip just with charging time. 👎🏼
When you pay an arm and a leg there better be real customer service not that half az crap some do and get itchy when you call them on it.
Say what they didn't even charge it for you that really sucks
Ray with The XRing channel bought a Model Plaid Tesla recently. He used to be a driving instructor for Mercedes Benz. Listen to him talk about driving his Tesla vs the best cars Mercedes ever built. He could not say enough about the acceleration and handling of the Tesla. If love to see him put his Tesla through a road test at the Mercedes facility in NC. He not only is a great shooter, but a fantastic driver!!!
He is an awesome person too!
except being able to buy plays into the very peoples hands you can not stand!
too bad but, thats what you get when you buy a car from a data company....
Elon no longer Owens Tesla China dose
Why you bought Tesla if you hate the brand !!
It’s just a piece of shit car. It’s not a Bugatti🤷🏼♂️
