I don't know but that is what they told me. They said from experience it would not look right. Maybe one of the DeLorean guys can comment, though it's not the same recipe of stainless steel. @DMC-81
Sure, it's easier for them to just let you reject it, and hope the next buyer won't notice/care.
Lol, who knows, $TSLAQ is relentless.
Can’t believe this happened to you. I’m expecting to pick mine up from Colma this week.I ended up going today but I passed on it. There were several light scratches and then one deeper scratch on the right rear panel. They said they can't fix those. They have to sand it down and then you can always see where they sanded it down.
There were marks on the driver door panel where the suction cups may have been and it looks like maybe they tried to clean them. They didn't look like the clear outlines of suction cups like I've seen in some pictures, just big dark areas.
There were some alignment issues with the metal trim that goes above both doors and there was also water inside the storage compartment in the bed and in the outlet inside the bed, both have rubber seals. Someone got too aggressive with the power washer maybe.
On the right side of the front trunk, there was also a larger gap when you can see the rubber underneath. The left side looked good but if you moved it to make the right look good then the left side would be off. I tried to see if it had the little adjustable rubber feet that I've seen on other trunk lids but they looked fixed.
They were without power by the time I got there but they said they washed the truck but it had all sorts of debris from trees all over the truck and I couldn't even really tell what other marks it may have had other than the few I found. Very disappointing. There was mud underneath and there was also rust coming out of where the hubcap or the center cap would go. I'm sure that's from the brake pads but it looks pretty bad. That's how they want to deliver it to me.
Not sure how folks are going to deal with this ongoing but a good amount of the debris was in between the metal and the top and back of the truck from beginning to end. I wouldn't recommend parking it under anything that has small leaves or debris of any kind.
I'm not sure if they left the window open or something, they did wipe down most of it but in the cup holders behind the headrests in the back side panels inside, there's a nice layer of dirt/dust.
I'm sure you will have better weather, they should have power and you look to be way closer that I am. Just be sure to check everything and bring someone that can help look for stuff, because they don't seem to.
On DeLoreans, you need a special flapper wheel brush ( called a wolf wheel) with the right grit sandpaper to properly re-grain a panel or the whole car to factory spec. The panels on this car are relatively soft, so you can fix a scratch by using the right 80 grit Scotch-brite pad and some finesse to blend the re-grained panel with the rest of the car. If you don’t do it right or use the wrong grit, you can see the repair attempt.
Still waiting here with 141x. I reached out to them earlier this week and they said "it's still in transit, and they will reach out when they have any info".
Sawyer has no influence with tesla. he runs a clothing business.
