Good old 20854206. Can’t believe I managed to log back in just now. Nothing there though.
karlward··on Tesla Model 3 Owner Discovers Car Was Delivered Missing a Brake Pad
I’ve had a Model 3 for one year. Two months in, parts of the front suspension had to be replaced. Couple months later, same thing on the passenger front side. Eight months in I started hearing wind noise that sounded like there was a hole in the windscreen. Turns out the skuttle board or some such, a plastic part under the windscreen, often pops out of place. First fix Tesla tried was to replace the windscreen. After that time I got the car back with the frunk half disassembled and the wind noise still appearing and the plastic skuttle board still out of place. Now they want to replace the interior plastic moulding to the frunk. They think it is distorted. If so, this must have been from factory.

All the time I have to push hard to get any attempted fix.

I’ve bought several cars, Mercedes’ and Audis from new in the past and I’ve never had any issue that required remedial work. (Or any issue at all.)

Now that there are good alternative electric cars I no longer recommend Tesla when anyone asks.

karlward··on Gap to close all 81 stores in UK and Ireland
It will probably die once all matter has been converted to Primark clothing and the Earth is nothing but a ball of thrown away hoodies and sunglasses. No further need for it then.

That is partially (probably mostly) due to brexit - https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/may/17/uk-faces-la... which is mostly being felt in hospitality and retail.
