TESLA MOBILE SERVICE CHECKS OUT POST DELIVERY ISSUES

EV Channels Review

The video details a post-delivery service experience for a new Tesla Model X Plaid, focusing on issues addressed by Tesla Mobile Service. The reviewer, Sherwin, highlights common Tesla delivery practices, including accepting delivery with minor issues to be resolved later. Key concerns addressed include a loose door handle button, exterior misalignments, a potential leak around the tailgate and Falcon doors, a loose "Tesla" emblem adhesive, and an A-pillar trim issue. While the mobile technician could address some items like the charge port alignment and the emblem (temporarily with a mismatched part), others, like the glass alignment, require a service center visit. The reviewer expresses confidence in Tesla's service process, citing past positive experiences and the company's willingness to replace parts rather than repair them, which he notes is cost-effective due to inexpensive parts and higher labor costs in the US. Despite the initial issues, Sherwin remains optimistic about the Model X Plaid build quality compared to previous Teslas, emphasizing that the overall value of the car outweighs the occasional service needs, especially for those with the time to manage these appointments.
