Agree I work for one and we don’t wanna a do your car anyway lol nah but fr most of the times the microfiber scratch the paint or even the brush but I mean isn’t our fault anyway we just do whatever they want and fast cuz customers be hella impacients
There's literally a tesla dealership in my city, big ol' lot with TESLA on a massive sign and a fuck load of teslas parked on the side. So idk what you're talking about
I just about vomited when this professional “detailer” at the dealership I got my car at said he could get the scuff mark out. Without washing the area he used a dirty towel and put compound on it and rub the hell out of it until the scuff mark came out but I imagine he left a shit ton of swirl marks behind considering there was a bunch of dirt and debris still on my car
I detailed cars for the Tesla factory here in Austin and man, every single car that was brand new straight from the factory had so many scratches and faults on the paint. We ended up doing touch up polishing on 90% of the cars.
My new car bunch of scratches from dealership Nissan ain’t even big of deal ignored the problem at least still new If you drive everyday still getting scratches
Happens with all manufacturers, even ferarri. Dealership detailers will scratch a car, but paint buffing also goes on during manufacturing. It's on fresh paint, they don't know how to buff at all, you can see the burn marks all over. (from hyundai)
@@Sparky-001 it is a good way to resolve issues like this. The person was basically scammed. Those cars are not cheap either so in this situation, I would say suing is a good option.
I do windshield repair for several car dealers in my area. A porter used a license plate to scrape ice from the windshield, both door windows, and the back glass. That was a profitable day for me.
As someone who works at a dealership - it comes factory with buffer marks. They always professionally buff each vehicle before it's shipped and you can see perfect swirls from where dirt got caught in the pad and made thousands of microscratches.
From what I’ve seen, Tesla’s have very soft paint. I’ve read stories, and my buddy showed me the results of the first time he washed his parent’s model S. He left swirl marks in the paint while drying it with micro fibers 😬 (yes the paint was clean of any dirt). Anybody else have a similar experience?
Most of the time, we get our cars from dealerships and often some of them have been used. When we got both of our mustangs, we ended up doing all of the buffing work ourselves, which was super fun btw, only 18 and I have a ton of fun changing and fixing my cars, but the mustangs were super scratched and now have no markings or scratches. Super proud of my cars!
Same, I work at a toyota dealership with a used car building and a new car building (new car building and parking lot specifically has toyotas and the used is whatever else we get from the auctions or trade ins) and we have to detail them all by hand, like wash the outside with brushes and power washers and squeegee them. Nothing is more satisfying than making an old/used car look brand new from your own hard work. I'm 21 so I'm not much older than you and I've worked at my dealership for over a year and a half now (november will be 2 years) and it's the best job I've ever had, nothing is more rewarding than detailing and I doubt I'm gonna leave anytime soon. I'll probably work there till I'm 40😂😭🖤

Rule #1: never let the dealership wash or detail your car if you care about it. Their processes are designed to be efficient and acceptable, not superb as you might expect. This is coming from someone that worked the car wash at a highly respected dealership and had a few days of detail experience in the side before leaving. It’s not worth it. Get it done by a pro. Edit: this is why, I might add, that when my new Supra got shipped in, I specifically asked my dealer NOT to do any wash or detail from the time it rolled off the truck to delivery, even thought it was a nice trustworthy dealership. I probably would trust them with everything except their wash scratching my paint. I wanted it to be squeaky when it got the clear bra installed a week after I took delivery.
This is 100% from brushless carwashes. Before i traded in my 2020 Sentra it had 8,000 miles and the paint was completely new for buying used. I went to one car wash that uses brushes and completely scratched up the paint with swirl marks. Same thing happened to my accord, brought it in for a oil change and offered a car wash. Came back to swirl marks all over both sides of the car as well as the roof. Only bring it to a touch car wash and please keep in mind the brushes there are only for your wheels.
Man I work at a place where cars come in new but some how end up damaged. They send them out for repairs repaint etc and the send it to dealership. New only if you pick it up straight from the dealer!! 💔💔💚💚
Note that the paint used by Tesla is water based, this is because they manufacture the cars in California. Water based paint scratches and fades a lot easier than the oil based paint every other manufacturer uses.
Misinformation. You are a Tesla apologist. A simple google will prove almost all car manufacturers use water based paint these days. Tesla just can’t seem to follow the damn directions given by the paint manufacturers to learn to paint cars properly. It’s 100% their fault for being bad at manufacturing and absolutely nothing to do with state regulations. You are a complete clown.
Most dealerships don’t actually train their “detailers” how to do it properly & they’re usually car wash rejects using dirty rags/applicators/ pads & cutting on edge instead of level after complete prep. I know cuz I worked it for years.
I bought a 2013 Honda Civic si. I knew I’m everything that was wrong with the car yet I still bought it. There was so much stuff that was removed and replaced
I work in a dealership and can tell you cars get marked before they even land at the dealership… they are driven on and off trucks numerous times truck drivers squeezing up against the paint trying to get in and out of the cars on the truck. I’ve also seen cars come to the dealership with buffer marks from suppliers.
Its really common for brand new car with like 15km on the odometer to have scuffs and scratches, because dealers decide that the cheaper the shipping the better.
Ighhh I love it when you get scratches out of a car that has new paint. Even just cleaning it is nice (of course will a jetwash and snowfoam and that good stuff)
My thing is this y’all did a great job but for a BRAND NEW CAR doing a 2 step you must remove good amount of the clear coat. I would have taking it back.
oh yeah I get what you are saying. We did have 5.3 mills on their which foe Tesla is surprising lol. yeah they had other issues as well. I am with you I would have done the samw
The amount of paint removed cannot be measured by the quantity of steps…. Menzerna for example could have been used and minimal clear removed, while increasing gloss dramatically…. Pads and tool being used are additional factors that can be argued/discussed for hours. So many variables.
Get ready (aka) the detail department at dealerships are so backed up that the squeegees have debris on them, possibly lot damage, the rolling brushes have clumped on debris at the dealership car wash machines, the rags have debris and finally the buffing machine pads could also have debris. Black is also a probable candidate for spirals.
I can second this. Worked at a Nissan dealership and every new car that came through from a Vera to a 350z they had us scrub them with brushes. Killed me a little every time
These issues are not uncommon in new Teslas. They don’t have the same quality paint at say a Volvo, Lexus, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz or any other luxury car. It’s really not a luxury car in that sense.
I see to have cars come to shop from the main dealer, brand new that had been damaged in transit from the factory to the dealerships. It’s amazing how many cars are damaged.
@@JetFire9I assume to try and argue to get money off the car he means…. But no dealership will budge on a price for paint swirls. The next customer that walks in the door will gladly buy the car. Unless your buying a car worth like 100k who cares
I work there now and work in the EOL department so no they don't come out this bad the quality team and paint team are doing their job it would go back to paint or body department immediately if there's no defects it would go to VDT to do the performance test... this car was not bought at the Tesla factory... I work 12 hour days and look at every model 3 and model Y that comes through that Tent. Fremont CA factory
My friend had our other friend ceramic coat his 2022 Model Y Performance right after he bought it. It was black as well and our detailed friend complained about how bad the Tesla black paint is out of all the colors.
That’s not from the dealership, scratches are from the factory. Tesla just has shity QA from their shity workers…. No offense to who currently works there.
I work there but no way the cars coming out of the assembly line comes out with any scratches I work with the quality and paint team and they are amazing at catching any defects it would get redirected to the paint department or body this car wasn't bought from the factory trust me I work 12 hour days and I look at every model 3 and model Y... the paint team and quality team are Hella dedicated to their work they will catch defects we are not just pumping out shitty cars after it leaves the factory I couldn't tell you what happens after that
That's horseshit. There's no way that gets rolled off the line and sent off like that. It just doesn't happen. His comments are just Tesla haters who stupidly repeat other things that they've heard but have never experienced firsthand.
He’s not wrong tho… more or less about the shity workers, but just very very bad QA. I’m a fan of Mr. Musk and his teslas and will buy one in the near future but what I’ve seen from friends, family, and everyone that I know that owns a Tesla is that they have their fair share of issues (aesthetics). From the factory almost all of them have some sort of general gap issues and have individual issues like dents, deep scratches, or light scrapes. These cars were purchased around 2020 to late 2021, it could be the influx of Tesla orders causing back orders and undermanned due to laborer shortages. Tesla’s reminds me of McLaren’s outstanding cars but terrible out from the factory. Regardless aesthetics won’t change the performance of the car. All the general common complaints still won’t deter me from buying one, still think it’s sick car and it is the future lol
Maybe thats why they already have miles on them when you get them😅, they get moved in the factory also in the dealership, sometimes during transportation they get scratched. You real funny bro also always inspect your cars when you buy a new car, most dealerships clean the cars thats why they are clean, meanwhile others don't and give you the car as it arrived
Keep in mind.. removing scratches from paint means that you are buffing the clear coat down with grit (compound) down to the depth of the scratch. Then, polishing out the swirls and final coat. Works great but there are longevity issues if not properly cared for. Tesla paint is very thin.
I used to service automatic car washes at dealerships. Most of them were pieces of junk, in terrible shape, and used nylon brushes. A lot of the dealers would run the new cars through these machines to get rail dust off the paint.
All manufacturers sell cars claiming they are new when the truth is they have been sat in a field or lot for at least a few month before they give it to you. Nissan would keep some new cars in a field for 6 MONTHS beofre selling them as new..
In the car industry... new, simply means never registered to an owner. Dealers sell program cars as new, despite having been used as demo, VIP/excutive loaner, etc. New car warranty starts the day of purchase and the miles already on the vehicle, do not count towards the covered warranty mileage.
I checked in transports for my local chrysler dealership for 6 years, this is quite common from the factory. But most of the time the drivers would damage them in transport, most drivers carry a rag and compound in there trucks. They would try to "fix" scratches thereself to avoid paying.
@Jon VB Here is some daily drivers, that cost less than tesla, and with excess money you can drive a few years for free. X4M, X5M/M50 i/X6 M50i, Poreche Cayenne (3.6L), Porsche cayman. Now sedans, audi rs5, s6, rs6, bmw m550i, 540i, C63 amg bitrubo V8 (this is a good one cuz it costs like 2 times less, then we have a charger with all da trim levels, and finally...... prius It has better everything, except power, even interior is a lot better. all theese cars will be built better, has better service (gl fixing a tesla in europe), and will be worth AT LEAST 70% of value after 5 years, while your tesla will be gasping for a new battery. Not even mentioning way worse mileage on highway and 0 tuning ability.
I bought a used truck from a dealer, like 20k miles on it... paint was perfect when the dealer handed me the keys... after about 3 months of ownership/washing I had scratches everywhere. I have a garage, i don't park near anyone, and I am careful when washing... this explains it = dealer had covered/masked the scratches prior to sale.
Guys, I bought a "New" Ford Contour SVT back in 1999 and they wanted me to take delivery of a dirty car. They so-called apologized and cleaned it up. Like this Tesla Owner, I wasn't happy with their results, and on top of that, I found a few weeks later that the driver's side fender had been repainted possibly from a collision. Admittingly the paint job was well done, but how I found out was under the hood, The area where the fender bolts are located, showed that the screws had been removed and misaligned. The dealer said that they are allowed to repair any damage to a New car as long as it's under a certain dollar amount. Just because it's New, Check everything you can possibly in and out before you leave the dealer. They are scoundrels and never rely on their fact sheets.
Good video! I remember working at a dealership and a hail storm came through one night and did a lot of damage to some new trucks. The body shop fixed them by removing the paint on the tops and hoods, bondoing and repainting. They then sold everyone of them, probably without telling.
So my manager taught me a trick when I was learning to detail. If you grab extremely thin plastic wrapping like from a pack of cigarettes ect. You can feel the impairfections and tell if it's been properly detailed. Did at a dealership when I bought a new car and made them detail it properly before we left.
If they bought their Tesla from a dealership, it's used.
Finally, someone pointed it out.
Yeah I work at Tesla there's no scratches or anything coming out the line that's a used Tesla someone dogged that Tesla

Tesla just can’t seem to follow the damn directions given by the paint manufacturers to learn to paint cars properly. It’s 100% their fault for being bad at manufacturing and absolutely nothing to do with state regulations. You are a complete clown.
Most dealerships don’t actually train their “detailers” how to do it properly & they’re usually car wash rejects using dirty rags/applicators/ pads & cutting on edge instead of level after complete prep. I know cuz I worked it for years.
You are on point 🙌
Tesla paint is softer than butter !!!
Not to be that guy, but it is than
Yoooo y’all are from my home town! Shoutout Tri!
woot Tri Cities in the house!! 🤝👊
When I get my car, you guy’s are doing to get it super right for me! Nice work
The first problem was the customer bought a Tesla and expected quality. Tesla is still learning how to make cars.
haha yep
“Model Tesla Y” 😂
Underrated
Gasoline fanboy detected
That's the ugliest way to say it. 🤣🤣
He butchered that name
@@clickbaitpolice1750 what are you even talking about??? 💀💀💀
I bought a 2013 Honda Civic si. I knew I’m everything that was wrong with the car yet I still bought it. There was so much stuff that was removed and replaced
I work in a dealership and can tell you cars get marked before they even land at the dealership… they are driven on and off trucks numerous times truck drivers squeezing up against the paint trying to get in and out of the cars on the truck. I’ve also seen cars come to the dealership with buffer marks from suppliers.
Nailed it! Super common
Its really common for brand new car with like 15km on the odometer to have scuffs and scratches, because dealers decide that the cheaper the shipping the better.
Ighhh I love it when you get scratches out of a car that has new paint. Even just cleaning it is nice (of course will a jetwash and snowfoam and that good stuff)
What is jetwash
Imagine a world where people cared as much about each other as they do their possessions…
Why?
Not going to happen.
Why won't it happen?
Because F people but I love my car 😅
Manufacturer is allowed a % of damage during building the car and still qualify as 'new'. There's a paint correction shop for scratches and dents.
My thing is this y’all did a great job but for a BRAND NEW CAR doing a 2 step you must remove good amount of the clear coat. I would have taking it back.
oh yeah I get what you are saying. We did have 5.3 mills on their which foe Tesla is surprising lol. yeah they had other issues as well. I am with you I would have done the samw
The amount of paint removed cannot be measured by the quantity of steps…. Menzerna for example could have been used and minimal clear removed, while increasing gloss dramatically…. Pads and tool being used are additional factors that can be argued/discussed for hours. So many variables.
@@Escape.Idiocracy I’m talking about clear coat not paint
Tesla paint is crap. This is among the best I've seen. Bubbles, blisters and chips are SUPER common
Might be hard to prove once it leaves the lot 🤔
“Purchased from the Dealership” 😂 Tesla doesn’t have one of those which means it’s used
There is a tesla dealer by me...
Yeah there's definitely a Tesla dealer here in Denver. Not a joint dealer either. 100% Tesla and Only Tesla
@@Next2Null tons of them in Ontario too
Thats just how they come new whit scratches and bad panel gaps
Yep! Seen lots of that
Get ready (aka) the detail department at dealerships are so backed up that the squeegees have debris on them, possibly lot damage, the rolling brushes have clumped on debris at the dealership car wash machines, the rags have debris and finally the buffing machine pads could also have debris. Black is also a probable candidate for spirals.
I can second this. Worked at a Nissan dealership and every new car that came through from a Vera to a 350z they had us scrub them with brushes. Killed me a little every time
Why?
As it should, psychopaths need to learn
These issues are not uncommon in new Teslas. They don’t have the same quality paint at say a Volvo, Lexus, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz or any other luxury car. It’s really not a luxury car in that sense.
Oh yes we will take care of it for you! 5k later. Thanks
haha not that much 😳😳
I see to have cars come to shop from the main dealer, brand new that had been damaged in transit from the factory to the dealerships. It’s amazing how many cars are damaged.
Bring a flashlight when picking up a new car. Need to give a thorough inspection.
For what? To have Tesla screw up fixing the problems? Did you not watch the video??? Or to reject the car so the next one is worse?? Sheep. 😂😂😂😂
@@JetFire9I assume to try and argue to get money off the car he means…. But no dealership will budge on a price for paint swirls. The next customer that walks in the door will gladly buy the car. Unless your buying a car worth like 100k who cares
@@froggyboy7280 Tesla doesn’t bargain. Take it or leave it.
@@JetFire9 exactly. They don’t need to their cars will sell regardless
I worked for Tesla. They come like that from factory and the detail process isn’t the best system. No heavy buffing / wet sanding
I work there now and work in the EOL department so no they don't come out this bad the quality team and paint team are doing their job it would go back to paint or body department immediately if there's no defects it would go to VDT to do the performance test... this car was not bought at the Tesla factory... I work 12 hour days and look at every model 3 and model Y that comes through that Tent. Fremont CA factory
@@Eatoakland8500 I believe you. I think that these haters just have a bug up their ass about Tesla.
Wow wow that’s nice good job 👍
thank you!
what state are you in my wife car needs help
My friend had our other friend ceramic coat his 2022 Model Y Performance right after he bought it. It was black as well and our detailed friend complained about how bad the Tesla black paint is out of all the colors.
I bought a used car the fender looked perfect when I got it and after every wash the truth came out it was f***** up haha 🤣
That’s not from the dealership, scratches are from the factory. Tesla just has shity QA from their shity workers…. No offense to who currently works there.
I work there but no way the cars coming out of the assembly line comes out with any scratches I work with the quality and paint team and they are amazing at catching any defects it would get redirected to the paint department or body this car wasn't bought from the factory trust me I work 12 hour days and I look at every model 3 and model Y... the paint team and quality team are Hella dedicated to their work they will catch defects we are not just pumping out shitty cars after it leaves the factory I couldn't tell you what happens after that
But for sure this Tesla did not 100% come from the Tesla factory... it came from... A.. dealership but not from Tesla
That's horseshit. There's no way that gets rolled off the line and sent off like that. It just doesn't happen.
His comments are just Tesla haters who stupidly repeat other things that they've heard but have never experienced firsthand.
He’s not wrong tho… more or less about the shity workers, but just very very bad QA. I’m a fan of Mr. Musk and his teslas and will buy one in the near future but what I’ve seen from friends, family, and everyone that I know that owns a Tesla is that they have their fair share of issues (aesthetics). From the factory almost all of them have some sort of general gap issues and have individual issues like dents, deep scratches, or light scrapes. These cars were purchased around 2020 to late 2021, it could be the influx of Tesla orders causing back orders and undermanned due to laborer shortages. Tesla’s reminds me of McLaren’s outstanding cars but terrible out from the factory. Regardless aesthetics won’t change the performance of the car. All the general common complaints still won’t deter me from buying one, still think it’s sick car and it is the future lol
@Mariahs 2nd lamb i've seen plenty of videos about the paint on teslas as well as body panel issues as well as interior issues.
Maybe thats why they already have miles on them when you get them😅, they get moved in the factory also in the dealership, sometimes during transportation they get scratched. You real funny bro also always inspect your cars when you buy a new car, most dealerships clean the cars thats why they are clean, meanwhile others don't and give you the car as it arrived
Tesla doesn’t have any dealerships 😂. So it’s Definitely used
Keep in mind.. removing scratches from paint means that you are buffing the clear coat down with grit (compound) down to the depth of the scratch. Then, polishing out the swirls and final coat. Works great but there are longevity issues if not properly cared for. Tesla paint is very thin.
Exactly that is why we use paint gauges to make sure we have enough to work with
@@tricitiesdetail Thank you! Detailers are artists in automotive paint care.
“2022 Model Tesla Y” this man his never re-recorded a voice over in his life
My old SUV would have them walking away from it XD 😆 🤣
If it's like that on the outside, I wonder what else is hidden inside lol, good luck
😬
I used to service automatic car washes at dealerships. Most of them were pieces of junk, in terrible shape, and used nylon brushes. A lot of the dealers would run the new cars through these machines to get rail dust off the paint.
Super common!
Really nice. I'm too afraid to polish because I'm afraid to go through the clearcoat.
paint gauge helps
Beautiful work, looks like glass. Good call on ceramic coating
All manufacturers sell cars claiming they are new when the truth is they have been sat in a field or lot for at least a few month before they give it to you. Nissan would keep some new cars in a field for 6 MONTHS beofre selling them as new..
we had ours sitting for a couple years
@@FatBlueCrab that would not shock me.
In the car industry... new, simply means never registered to an owner. Dealers sell program cars as new, despite having been used as demo, VIP/excutive loaner, etc. New car warranty starts the day of purchase and the miles already on the vehicle, do not count towards the covered warranty mileage.
If they haven't been driven or owned by a private party then they're still new. Of course it's going to be stalking in transit times.
I checked in transports for my local chrysler dealership for 6 years, this is quite common from the factory. But most of the time the drivers would damage them in transport, most drivers carry a rag and compound in there trucks. They would try to "fix" scratches thereself to avoid paying.
Tesla quality control has never had a good rep
Don't worry, teslas come in like that from factory. Panel gaps are a bonus😊
nah bro, that's not the dealership, its called american mass production.
look up 110k$ Model S Plaid quality issues
@Jon VB Here is some daily drivers, that cost less than tesla, and with excess money you can drive a few years for free.
X4M, X5M/M50 i/X6 M50i, Poreche Cayenne (3.6L), Porsche cayman.
Now sedans, audi rs5, s6, rs6, bmw m550i, 540i, C63 amg bitrubo V8 (this is a good one cuz it costs like 2 times less, then we have a charger with all da trim levels, and finally......
prius
It has better everything, except power, even interior is a lot better.
all theese cars will be built better, has better service (gl fixing a tesla in europe), and will be worth AT LEAST 70% of value after 5 years, while your tesla will be gasping for a new battery.
Not even mentioning way worse mileage on highway and 0 tuning ability.
I bought a used truck from a dealer, like 20k miles on it... paint was perfect when the dealer handed me the keys... after about 3 months of ownership/washing I had scratches everywhere. I have a garage, i don't park near anyone, and I am careful when washing... this explains it = dealer had covered/masked the scratches prior to sale.
It’s not really new cars you have to watch out for, it’s just Teslas terrible quality.
I wanna know how to fix up a paint job like that wow!!!
paint correction takes a lot of time but can get some nice results !
Shit just expensive 🤣🤣
A shit car
Teslas don't have dealerships. However they do some paint correction at the factory if they see defects. Every manufacturer does this.
This is why I'm getting a cybertruck! I want none of that paint!
"Tells the customer not to scratch a brand new car"
Makes video scratching s brand new car
"Surprised pikachu face with a $40,000 markup"
Tesla's come from the factory with terrible paint work and panel gaps. This is normal, but still awful craftsmanship
You seen this personally or you just talking s*** from stuff you've heard?
Guys, I bought a "New" Ford Contour SVT back in 1999 and they wanted me to take delivery of a dirty car. They so-called apologized and cleaned it up. Like this Tesla Owner, I wasn't happy with their results, and on top of that, I found a few weeks later that the driver's side fender had been repainted possibly from a collision. Admittingly the paint job was well done, but how I found out was under the hood, The area where the fender bolts are located, showed that the screws had been removed and misaligned. The dealer said that they are allowed to repair any damage to a New car as long as it's under a certain dollar amount.
Just because it's New, Check everything you can possibly in and out before you leave the dealer. They are scoundrels and never rely on their fact sheets.
This! Very common to get damaged in Shipping, lot cleaners swirl it up. Lots of things have happen to your “new” car
Never heard of the car brand Model before
It’s all new 😏😂
Good video! I remember working at a dealership and a hail storm came through one night and did a lot of damage to some new trucks. The body shop fixed them by removing the paint on the tops and hoods, bondoing and repainting. They then sold everyone of them, probably without telling.
Thank you
I want mine done ✅
"We can fix it!"
For $3000
Pfff yeah later.
Right!
Best scam going
For the person with a tesla, that is not a problem if it means a better look.
I would say," oh well, just a few scratches so here's a few more."
So my manager taught me a trick when I was learning to detail. If you grab extremely thin plastic wrapping like from a pack of cigarettes ect. You can feel the impairfections and tell if it's been properly detailed. Did at a dealership when I bought a new car and made them detail it properly before we left.
This is a great way to tell for sure!
It’s called an odometer it tells a story , a story of how many miles it has driven..
?
can't they change it though
@@hhb6022 Digitally? I doubt it.
@@surfbird2494 He's saying that the odometer should tell you whether it's really new or not.
@@randallsmerna384 someone must know a way how to do it people can hack anything
Maybe pre owned from Dealer, Dealer doesn’t only sell new cars could of even been a demo vehicle.
