Meanwhile according to the fanboys in /r/teslamotors it appears deliveries are still riddled with obvious defects. Look at the rims on this brand new vehicle!

How are they fanboys if they criticize the assembly?

  I think he means that it's going so poorly that even a fanboy sub can't do anything but complain, which would be a pretty bad sign

That issue by the way with the wheels and even pieces of the vehicle is 100% the service center. Which is a new service center in... Miami! The shit holes of all shit holes when it comes to getting things done RIGHT. You have to pay the service techs under the table if you want anything I'm willing to bet... just like the rest of that bottom feeder of a city.

  It's not just Model 3's from that service center that are getting lengthy defect reports. I mean /r/teslamotors made a checklist for people[1] and it's giant. Things wrong with cars that I didn't even know were possible in this day and age.

    You'd be shocked to see the numbers of cars bought from dealerships that need to come back for something. And if you look at those cars' respective forums, you see the exact same thing. It is nothing out of the ordinary. I've had to take multiple cars back for issues, including Ford, Toyota, Buick, BMW, and Chevy. The Buick literally had an issue where if you turned the left blinker on, the windshield wipers would stop working until turned off. I am a Tesla owner of 2 years now, I never had to go back to the service center once, excluding the 1 year routine checkup. I've had zero problems with it. So when you see forum posts and all, also realize there is a bias of only the people with the issues go to post them. It is most certainly not the norm. Oh, and of all the brands above that I mentioned, the one that was the worst.. the Toyota 4 runner. For all the talk of highest quality, etc, it was practically a lemon. And don't get me started on how many times I ended up just fixing my own Chevy because something else broke!

Vehicle defects are not uncommon, particularly for a new model, even for high end vehicles. A friend purchased a Porsche Panamera, which had a scratch on the rear passenger console.

  (disclaimer I own one and a two more family members also own Porsches) How long did Porsche take to fix it? I had a small rattling appear on mine after a couple weeks and called and they fixed it on the spot (user error, my son dropped a metal ball through the seatbelt hole that caused it). My cousin had a brand new Panamera with a scratch/dent that didn't notice when he picked it up. Called, 3 days later they called to take the car there and replace the piece (took 3 days since these were the brand new Panameras when they were released and they didn't have that part in stock to replace)
