    I jumped on the car and was able to get a red/black version with the rebate. It's absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The Alcatera is lovely on the side doors. And the way the sun reflects the Ultra Red leaves shadows which emphasize the contours of the sports sedan. Now the trouble is wanting to wash it all the time to keep up the good looks 😅

    I absolutely love my 2024 M3P but definitely some build/paint issues reported by a majority of new deliveries. Had to have Tesla repaint a couple panels and give me a service credit on another. There was a paint chip, dirt inclusions and paint drip. Interior accent lighting has some “delamination” like issues. Right sub woofer rattle at some frequencies. Driver dash with a subtle rattle at some frequencies of road vibrations. Many report their pulling heavy to the right. Mine drives perfectly straight. Unfortunate so many people having issues on delivery with things Tesla supposedly sorted out on prior releases.

    It looks alot better in person, and if you are getting this car make sure the exterior contrasts the wheels. I wouldn't get the gray bc it doesn't accentuate the wheels or the other body modifications it has. A Red, White, or Blue makes the cars extra body mods pop out more.

    I've had my 2024 M3P for a few weeks now. Overall the build quality has been pretty good. However, I had to take it to the service center to deal with rattles in the driver side dash and noise from the aero caps when driving at low speed. Panel gaps and paint were pretty good with only some minor flaws.

    This is Tesla’s best car for the buck, hands down !! It’s completely re-engineered & drives amazing. My complaints are also the turn signals, they do get stuck. IMO.. this may become a recall as a safety issue. Everyone had a problem & it needs to be addressed !! I didn’t notice the black trim being glossier or different. My M3P Paint is flawless, there are 3 panel gaps 2 on the driver side & one on the right side of the trunk. I also noticed the frunks struts sounds weird like they are broken pieces inside. I did address all of these with Tesla. Other than that the car is absolutely amazing 🤩⚡️

    In regards to the rear light situation, it wasn't that Tesla was required to put the lights down low on the bumper like that. It's a federal motor vehicle safety standard. If a car is sold in the US, the tail lights are required to be on a fixed body panel. If they're on a movable body panel (i.e. rear tailgate or trunk like here on the refreshed Model 3), a secondary set of lights are required as a safety precaution in case you're stuck on the side of the road with your trunk open so cars coming up behind you can see you. One question I have though. In the center storage areas..... did they change the material used from the previous generation Model 3 and the Model Y, or is it the same kind of felt? Hate how that seems to kind of just shed little black fibers all over whatever might happen to rub against it when it's in that little storage area in my 2023 Model Y.

    Let's not get carried away regarding Tesla build quality improvements. As Out Of Spec Dave reported, his brand new refreshed 3P has a squeaky center console and a rattle in the dash. As far as the spoiler, it's cheap of Tesla not to have a bolt on painted spoiler like the Model X has. There have been fit and finish issues reported by Cybertruck owners too. I'm surprised the NTSB allowed Tesla to remove the turn signal lever. I can see that cause issues in real world drivings situations.

    There seem to be a lot of people suggesting this new M3P is light-years ahead of any Tesla ever built. It's a nice car, but will never compete against a Model S and in reality is only very slightly better than the older M3P.

    Tesla build quality will almost certainly never be as good as BMW or other high end grade fit n finish because their production build process just doesn't allow for levels of nearly perfection. Tesla is all about volumes over perfection.

    Well built ! Seriously ? The guy sitting in the back is banging and clipping panels together to try and seat them. He shouldn't have done that; the vibration may cause the spoiler to fall off. Why bother though, the interior is just plain ugly. Oh but wait...great news, the panel gaps have improved.

    Tesla needs to move out of that former GM factory in Fremont. The refreshed Model 3 still has QC issues.
