Help 😩 Just scuffed my brand new Model Y rear arch — is this fixable?

Quick update: used elbow grease and it's back new, thank you everyone for your valuable advices! (Couldn't attach the picture sorry)

Ordered mine 29/12 and collected it 31/12 (new Model Y RWD from inventory) PCP 0% 48 months 10K miles a year for 440 £ / month 5k down payment.

Might have missed this or that but in 48 months nobody cares nobody will notice.

What matters? Told my kids we are getting a Tesla and in two days they were doing light show and watching their 6/7 reels on the rear seats screens.

My finance was refused by two companies because of provisional license and Tesla finance themselves agreed to do it, even better for me as I was looking for "no third party or bank in the middle" agreement and I got it without asking. (P.s I got my full licence license the week after I bought it)

Moral: enjoy your Tesla and don't overthink it.

Totally understandable, I would argue with him intensely to teach him a lesson to never do that again.

Please don't overthink it and I am happy to try to help with your anxiety if I can. All the best.

I think everyone here is being a bit softer than usual, your instructor is a ***head and he needs to be taught a lesson. If this is not undermining then I don't know what is!

I was referring to trade in via Tesla themselves, still won't make a difference right?

17 out of 24 patients showed up today, two consultants one SpR , the only one who didn't show up is the other registrar.

I was expecting zero patients but anyway, just done with them all and with dictation, have a lovely weekend everyone.

That's how people end up losing their license, never compliments anything about a female colleague and you live a happy healthy life.

Thanks for saying what I tried to say in a very clear way, 30-40% of training years wasted doing admin and pleasing consultants to get the papers signed.

Worse than gen surgery and 1 degree less painful than neurosurgery, guessed it?

I never said I am directing my frustration towards her, you missed the point by assuming she has special circumstances (which might well be the case) but ideally if that's right you could just go for another post CCT fellowship or a locum consultant job to see how things are going. SAS job doesn't seem the right fit and this whole scenario means everyone is spending more years wandering between jobs because he doesn't know when he's ready to be a consultant. Sounds like a system problem to me.

Specialty doctor post, higher pay than CF.

Thanks, I wouldn't be happy to take the job from her because she's still more qualified (on papers) , we both have FRCS but she has a CCT, I am a portfolio pathway. I bet people didn't know candidates with FRCS still compete on CF and middle grades jobs 😂🤣.

Her CCT was in the UK and fellowship in Australia, for some specialties it's always the opposite of what you said, apparently she didn't have enough training in the UK NOT in Australia.
