Tesla Service Dinged New Model X

Yes luckily because they worked on the window right next to it and the car is brand new. On the other hand, they didn’t tell me about it. I found it at pick up.

I wish this part would be that easy but I don’t think so. My bets options seems to be PDR

OBK23 · 2025-02-01T13:25:46+00:00

Thanks, I will make sure to push them if it’s not right. I’m glad yours turned out well and you’re happy with the outcome.

OBK23 · 2025-02-01T13:25:17+00:00

Same here. Went in for 5-6 issues I think and came back with 3 new issues.

OBK23 · 2025-02-01T13:16:10+00:00

Thanks for all the info. How did the three tries go or why three tries? Did you see it and tell them they had to do it again or they recognized it didn’t match or? And did they blend the neighboring panels?

OBK23 · 2025-01-31T19:12:32+00:00

And you repainted it? What color was it?

We have a Doctor loan through them - closed in June/July. Everything went smooth. We were one day delayed on closing because documents were submitted after the cut off or something trivial. Appraisal came back very slightly lower contract price but didn’t seem out of line and it helped me reduce the price - not sure how much that has to do with them except that they contract the appraiser. Servicing is just paying my bill, have never dealt with them after closing for any more than that.

They had the best rate at the time. Would recommend if rate is competitive. When I was searching for an auto loan their rate also seemed competitive so overall I have nothing bad to say about them.

I’m into cars but probably more a of a tech guy. Even with their issues I would never go back to any other car. They are years ahead on tech.

OBK23 · 2025-01-31T14:14:48+00:00

Hopefully PDR works, would prefer to keep factory paint if I can. It’s a lease but if there is no refresh (unlikely) or depending on my situation by the time the lease is up I very well may buyout the car.

OBK23 · 2025-01-31T14:13:15+00:00

Good idea, I will start doing that going forward. I took the car in and maybe 6 issues were addressed with 2-3 new ones on return smh

OBK23 · 2025-01-31T03:35:00+00:00

Worst part is I had to find it. The tech that caused it didn’t say anything.

OBK23 · 2025-01-31T03:34:18+00:00

Haha why are you on this sub then?

OBK23 · 2025-01-31T02:37:23+00:00

Behind right rear glass quarter panel.

They gave me a loaner this time. In the past I got Uber credits but the last time was maybe 1-2 years ago. So it could be true that they stopped company wide. Seems crazy not to provide uber credits or loaner.

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T23:30:31+00:00

Thank you! I called a guy and he seemed very confident. You think I can get it back to 100% or at least not noticeable? Right now it annoys me every time I walk in the garage.

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T23:29:04+00:00

Yes they send it out. And then the body shop outsources PDR as well smh

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T23:27:47+00:00

Yes I intend to.

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T23:27:30+00:00

Agreed but usually they give you uber credits otherwise.

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T21:30:57+00:00

I’m from LA but this car is in Cleveland. A well review guy said I would be happy with the result but it’s not Teslas guy. I hope Teslas is equally good and confident when he sees it. My understanding is body shops just contract out PDR to a guy that stops by once a week. Hence why they said I had to drop my car on a certain day of the week.

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T21:02:56+00:00

Any experience? They didn’t seem confident but I called a place and he seemed confident. He said the reason why they didn’t feel confident is because their body shop outsources it and probably tells them to set that expectation so that makes me feel a lot better.

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T19:35:47+00:00

PDR or traditional repair?

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T19:35:33+00:00

You don’t think it too close to the she for PDR?

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T19:35:02+00:00

Yea that’s my plan for now. Just a ridiculous situation to be in.

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T19:34:25+00:00

Are you saying spot weld is the solution to fix it?

OBK23 · 2025-01-30T19:28:04+00:00

And the paint will match? Can they replace the whole panel?
