      Yes. Especially this far into it. I bought mine in 2020 and I had 8 service center trips the first year. I still have a window rattle that was never fixed because they couldn't reproduce it. Still sad that it's still going on in 2024. No excuse Tesla.

      The expectation for build quality seems a little bit unreasonable though. This is a Tesla not a Lexus -- surely poor build quality in a Tesla is to be expected, given people buy them anyway despite their quality reputation? 🤔 Other cheaply made American cars (e.g., Ford Mustang) are the same for misaligned panels and poor fitting trim, it's just how they are. It's not like buying a car made in Japan or Germany.
      The only way there would be a motivation to improve if there were no orders (i.e., that having a reputation for paint and good assembly was important for securing sales) -- but they have plenty of orders, so why should they improve? Having stricter quality checks would surely clog up the factory with vehicles needing rework and slow production down, no? 🙂

    I have a four week old 2024 M3P that had the same aero cap sounds on all four wheels. I took it into the service center and they were able to fix it. However, it seems they added a lot of lube because it's spraying out everywhere when I drive. They also scratched up my wheel center cap so a mobile tech will come out to replace it. I'm not positive but I suspect someone at the service center took my car for a joy ride as there was 18 miles added to the odometer which is beyond a standard road test. I also had a driver side rattle from the dash. However, it seems like the service center was able to fix that. The car itself is pretty good. Panel gaps are even, paint is in good condition, LED strip is aligned, car doesn't pull to the right.

    I have both the 18” & the new performance & i have the same exact noise, i have a service appointment but i suspected that was the aeros so I couldn’t wait for the service appointment so i took the aeros off and the noise was gone. 👍
    I believe the reason the noise is the metal part that goes inside the aeros isn’t clipping in all corners inside the aero shell so it makes those noises.

    Got my MP3 on 6/11 had to service it next day, 6/12 because I started hearing a rattle noise on the front dash driver seat. Sounded like static or like a lose screw in between the dashboard and ambient lighting. Thankfully the service center was able to fix it the next day. But still sucks to have to service your car within the same 24 hours of pick up. Will be on the lookout for any other issues that may arise of course now that you’ve had such a bad experience in less than 2 weeks.

    That's really unfortunate that you've had those issues and worse that your service center seems not great! I'm lucky that the two service centers I've used around Chicago have been good at honoring warranty work. I'm bringing my 24 M3P next Friday for them to install Homelink, but also review the same inconsistency in the turn buttons and a door alignment, so we'll see if they're still on it. For your car, here's to hoping another service center treats you better, as it's an excellent vehicle and your videos are entertaining and honest

    I’ve got my M3P June 1. There are uneven panel gaps for passenger doors and the left and the right sides of trunk, but I can live with these as I’m sure these are ‘within the spec’. But there is also a rattle noise coming from the dash, which disappears after some time of driving. I’m going to report it and hope I can reproduce it at the service.

They aired up all the tires, as one was low and even plugged it in to charge until I was able to pick it up. Also, I purchased a new LV battery for my M3 and they carried out to the car for me. It wasn’t heavy and I could have, but just great service

      I think he’s referring to lemon law’s which are state specific.
      Under that if you are sold a vehicle which is not “fit for purpose” the manufacturer can be forced to purchase the car back from you.
      Of course it’s much easier when the manufacturer themselves agrees that they’ve “sold you a lemon” and agrees to repurchase the vehicle.
      If they do not agree to do this, then you have to get lawyers involved…

    I have had some issues with both of my Teslas. I have a 2021 Model 3 Performance and 2022 Model Y Long Range. Both have had issues with the speakers. My Model 3 had the amplifier go out within the first week of ownership. Model Y had the rear speaker on the trunk sounding
    distorted on delivery. Model 3 was an easy fix. But my Y needed three service trips because they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I told them it sounded like it was coming from the rear. First trip they replaced the amplifier, second trip they replaced the entire rear door panel speaker. Finally on the third trip they replaced the rear trunk speaker. The Y also needed to have the charge port door replaced as it wasn’t opening, mobile service was able to do that one. My Model 3 also had issues with water accumulating in the trunk. Which also needed three service trips before it was fixed.
    The good thing is the service center in San Diego was always very nice, helpful, and accommodating. One tip I learned from so many trips is if you book the latest time on a Friday, you’ll pretty much be guaranteed a loaner vehicle that you can keep until Monday.

    I’ve had my M3 Performance since 12/2018. The only problems I’ve had were a piece of gravel that got stuck behind a front brake rotor, a light rattle in the dashboard area, and an improperly installed trunk gasket and a spoiler edge that loosened up after 3 years. Tesla repaired all of these items promptly and courteously. I even had a loaner Model S well my car was in the shop. My service center is in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
    This car is by far the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. And as a result, I have a new 2024 Model 3 Performance on order.

Service center guy told me they will break in and if after a month they don’t get better, they may replace them or remove them altogether. I think I may just remove the blades myself.
    You can recreate the sound by putting a bit of pressure with your hands or feet on the blades. Sounds like you maybe just have one or two caps that are misaligned or scraping. Super annoying.

    I just bought my 1st EV/Tesla in Feb. A used 2021 M3 LR from my local Tesla dealership. 2 weeks in, the drivers side wiper stopped working in the middle of a rain storm. Had to pull over and wait for the rain to stop before I could drive again. Scheduled an home appointment that was 2 weeks out. The tech came and said he couldn’t get the wiper off because it was screwed on with a drill when it should’ve been done by hand which is why it didn’t work. The wiper was screwed on too tight and he didn’t have the tool so I went to a service center that same day and they fixed it in less than 20 minutes…2 weeks later it stopped working again. I drove it back to the same center with no appointment really frustrated and they saw me right away. Turns out the washer for the wiper was completely worn out and should’ve been replaced when they “fixed” it the 1st time. Fast forward to last week…The wiper on the passenger side stopped working. Took it to the same service center and they again saw me right away. This time they had to replace entire windshield wiper mechanism. So far so good but I will say to have a used car, if the ONLY problems I’m having is wiper issues that I don’t have to pay for to get fixed, it’s a pretty good deal for the car of my dreams and the service center team I go to has been top notch and professional

    Wow what an awful experience, no excuse for this. Hopefully this is just an issue with this one specific service center.
    When I got my model 3 a few years ago it had quite a few minor issues with various rattles around the car. It was frustrating and took many trips to the service center before getting them all fixed but I was always treated well and they did fix every issue with no push back. The service technician even thanked me for the detailed recordings I took saying it helped them fix other cars as well. I really hope this is an isolated issue with this particular center and not a general decline in service quality.
    Best of luck with your car, hopefully you manage to get everything fixed to your satisfaction so you can just enjoy the awesome car you bought!

Sound system is excellent, suspension is great. I don't hear a button click for the turn signal but it hasn't stuck either. Time will tell how the long term experience will be. Keep up the great posts.

      How did the performance qualify for the federal credit in a different color? Doesn't the price increase by $1-2k?

      @@salmanshah9245 At the time I placed my order the model 3 performance was $2000 less than it is now and the white interior cost $1500. Now you have to buy with grey paint to qualify but can add the white interior if you like.
      Also they resolved the sound from the wheels by adding felt tape to the wheel inserts, the sound is now gone. The light trim on the dash just needed to be pushed down so a clip connected...problem solved. My experience with Tesla Service in Raleigh was very good.

    Jacob, I had an original 2018 Model 3 (less than 10K serial number) and fortunately had very few issues (but I tend to overlook things that would drive others crazy). I just recieved my new performance model 3, and I will have to accept that this is the first year they are producing it. Quality issues are very typical with every car manufacturer in the first year. That being said, the problem seems to be the service people NOT believing the complaints. That is what I find unacceptable. Good luck in resolving these issues. I know you just want to enjoy your new car.

    For that “front undertray” aka skid plate, for $245 you’re better off getting an aftermarket aluminum skid plate as it protects the underside of your car better. Those stock tesla plates are made of soft resin and easily breaks. Just a heads up.

    Yo! Got my 2024 performance 2 weeks ago and had the same exact sound coming from my wheels. I noticed it going through a drive through the first time. I ended up taking the aero caps off 2 days ago to see how the car looked. The sound is gone so I am 99% sure it's the aero caps and the metal bracket that sits behind them making the sound. Kinda of sucks.

    Hey man! I hate to hear you’re having this experience with your brand new Tesla! Interestingly enough, I’m having the exact same issue with that clicking/creaking noise in 22 M3P particularly at low speeds and when I turn my wheel to the left. My service center is great but I’ll be visiting them for the 3rd time this. Week. 1st time-memorial day weekend, low staff but was suggested that it was the control arm that needed replacement 2nd time- I let them know based on the previous advisor recommendation that my control arm needed replacement but they changed the upper control arm which apparently wasn’t the issue(but at least I got a new one 🤷🏽). They did leave me a message upon picking up my car letting me know that it was more than likely the lower control arm and to make another appt. All the is inconvenience of time all has been free since I’m still under 50,000miles .3rd times a charm. This was apparently a known issue as well a few years back with Model 3’s too, so hopefully it’s a simple free fix for you!

Delivery date range has been postponed twice (I hope, to address quality issues). Current range is August to early September.

    You're not alone. I had a model 3 performance from Feb 2023. I had a million issues with it but the major one was steering wheel vibrations. I had screaming matches with the service centres. Eventually I lawyered up and Tesla settled out of court for a buyback under the lemon law. I swore to God that I will never buy a tesla again, until I saw the new Performance lol. Now I'm scared shit like this happening again if I were to buy it. Thanks for your videos. I'm happy to provide more documentation and information about my year from hell with a M3P

Unfortunately, a lawyer had to fight Tesla to get the money back and it took him almost six months to get the money back.

    Little issues like this are not unusual on very early production cars from any manufacturer. Annoying for sure, but reality. On the other hand, I picked up a Model Y Dual Motor from Austin a few months ago, and it is perfect, paint, fit, and operation. Luck of the draw, but you should have been treated better at the service center, for sure, to make it all right on a new production car.
