Oops. Looks like someone might have pushed a little too hard on the polisher... I have 2 or 3 spots like this on the new cybertruck, all of which can be corrected easily ( I think) except this one.

Tesla store is going to have "body shop assess" but not sure how they can fix that.

Other than that and a subwoofer that keeps going off and on (getting fixed next week) it has been awesome!

And when you are on the bleeding edge, I guess you bleed a little.

That someone f$&ked up and passed that on to a customer is disappointing. Why would they need that much pressure on top of the logo? What would need to come off that’s worse than the results??!! Seems like a quarter panel replacement is in order because I agree, how can they “fix” it?

Only Tesla can get away with delivering a $100k vehicle with that unacceptable cosmetic blemish.

Unfortunately it's Tesla's MO. Top notch vehicle quality has never been a priority with Tesla. They ask you to submit service tickets on delivery day.

Me? I would demand a replacement fender from Austin.

there are actually 3 or 4 big blemishes like that, but with an orbital polisher and some very fine/fine scotchbrite I am sure they will vanish. I also have a delorean, which although is very different stainless, it still taught me some ways to manage it. But that logo is going to need a new panel most likely.

I have some scratches on the hood that were present at delivery. I made a service request and they asked me to bring it in. 2 business days and 1 weekend later they told me they couldn't fix it because they didn't have the equipment or training. Moral of the story is ask them if they can fix it before you drop it off.

So what is their proposed solution? Bring it back when we do have the equipment and training? Live with it? Either is unacceptable

"Try some other service centers". I am going to wait a few months for them to get some experience then I will bring it back in. At the very least its now documented and they cant claim the scratches are post-delivery.
