When your Tesla is set to charge to 80% but only reaches 78%, this is typically normal behavior due to the limitations of the Battery Management System (BMS) and external factors affecting the battery. Here’s why this happens and what you can do:

Use an orbital polisher designed for automotive with a relatively aggressive polish. Will work wonders. Griots sells the entire kit. Fast Correcting Cream and Orbital Polisher has given me astounding results. No affiliation, just a happy customer for 20 plus years

Imagine if it it was painted or wrapped - insurance claim would be in your future
In this case, you literally buff them out.
The proper procedure has been posted and is totally DIY
I'm glad to hear it didn't escalate - not worth the risk.
I get so much pleasure just knowing we live rent-free in their heads, I chuckle and move on.
So much pleasure that it makes me kinda sad these types of interactions have decreased substantially in the last moth or so.
Invisible Glass with a microfiber on a extension pole. Also use lint free paper towels to make it perfect. Invisble Glass far better than Sprayway on interior windshield in my experience
This is the absolute beauty of this truck and it's surface - hit it with the orbital and it looks like new. Amazing work.
We did 10k miles of winter driving this past 6 months which left lots of little bit and bobs all over - especially frunk. So I just did my frunk and tailgate using my...
I saw a cool CT with a matte black wrap at the car wash on Sunday morning.
Then I looked a bit closer and noticed not one, but two stickers on the tailgate that said “I bought this before Elon went crazy”
Talk about the ultimate irony. The CT wouldn’t exist without EM and his particular type...
That last repair is just bad. That dark mark is where the weld for the connection post burned hot enough to discolor the exterior - that better not be common no acceptable in Tesla's mind
Couldn't agree more that at night in conditions of snow, fog and mist the frunk light bar needs to be either turned off or turned down. Couple weeks back, I had a 3 hour drive to northern Vermont in a night time snow storm and I was wishing for a way to dim that frunk light bar.

Had this issue. Especially when below 20 degrees F. Just got truck back from Service Center in Mount Kisco, NY (who are absolutely fantastic btw) and they agreed and adjusted the windows. Much better now. My VIN is in the 4000 range and I have 13k miles. YMMV
What about the issue of corrosion happening to the stainless when magnetic stickers are applied?
I wouldn't believe it, but I"ve had this happen on my trick. We had a small 6" round magnetic "sticker" for my kid's ski team and after about 1 month I removed it to find 5 or 6 spots of corrosion...
