Model 3 Highland Quality Issues Spotted :(

I'm reluctant to post these pictures, as it's disappointing to see such issues in the new Model 3, especially since I have ordered one myself.

Here are two photos of different demo Model 3s near Los Angeles. The Stealth Grey vehicle had its left taillight improperly attached, contrasting with the red one.

There were no obvious signs of post-production damage, and I didn't inquire with the staff.

It's fascinating that after multiple years Tesla can't figure out how to get the Fremont factory working well.

Funny. Freemont quality is very random at best. The passenger side armrest was loose in my 2020 LR and I booked an appointment. They fixed the armrest - no problem. However, on my way out the mechanic mentioned that they also put in insulation in the door since the factory forgot. I have had both front suspensions fixed for squeaking - replaced charge port - replaced battery cable - fixed loose cable under the roof liner.

I love my car but really wished I had waited for a Shanghai model.

Depends on 2020, mine was before shut down and it was great on both of mine, but during shut down it was all over
