Greetings from Ohio, delivery in 2 days, build quality is a concern.

I didn't say Tesla was good about squeaks and rattles, I said Cybertruck was. And it's not based just upon me beating mine up for 400 miles over rugged terrain and remaining squeak and rattle free, I'm also basing it off a number of videos and posts where people and auto reviewers say the same thing, that the interior is remarkably quiet and subdued, even on rough roads.

Any vehicle can have a flaw that causes a rattle, my point is the Cybertruck is designed to avoid them. And, based upon many examples, despite yours, I would say it was successful. It doesn't mean no Cybertrucks will ever have a rattle or a squeak.

I'm interested to know who your inside source is on cybertruck being designed specifically to avoid rattles and squeaks? Many people have had the center console squeak develop because the battery pack is the frame and also the floor of the vehicle. The frame flexes (even if only a little bit) which causes the center console to loosen up over time and squeak. They also make use of the loose white plastic clips that can cause rattles on a lot of the interior trim.

You don't have to make shit up. Youtubers reviewing the truck for 200 miles and mentioning that the interior is quiet is not the same thing as "the trucks rattle less than other vehicles". Just say yours doesn't rattle and move on. You don't have to pretend that you know things that you don't know in order to try to prove a point that you cannot prove.

You've lost all credibility with me, I'm not making anything up.

Quick update: I have refused the vehicle and was put back in a que (supposedly), according to my texting with Tesla. However, yesterday I got a phone call from local Tesla number and somewhat rude rep said that my vehicle will be offered to the next customer in line, since I am not showing up for delivery. Later on I received couple more texts from (508) area code, saying that Tesla will get situation sorted.
This whole orwellian experience is making me want to move on and perhaps re-visit CT idea a year from now, at $60k with some low miles.

I completely understand.

Even Kia and Hyundai exterior fit and finish are light years ahead of what some CT owners have accepted. It's totally unacceptable on a $100k + vehicle.

Another update, Tesla just sent me another vin to my app, however delivery date is not yet available, meaning that it was likely recently assembled and not shipped yet. Again, I will demand a pre-delivery inspection and if she is another misfit, I will refuse. I am no loner a Soviet kid, who is forced to accept what is provided. American consumer deserves a quality product backed by dependable and polite customer service.

Excellent news.

Is the new VIN number in the 15,000’s?

It’s a fresh build from the assembly plant. Your not getting a rejected truck.
