Before we go any further, yes, the pun in the title was very much intended. I have no excuse: sometimes I get this urge, and I must deliver one, but thanks to the way the Internet works, I can do it with impunity. Alright, I'll stop. But not before I collaborate and listen.
If you're smiling right now, you're probably not in the right mood for this story - unless, of course, you take pleasure in learning about new ways in which Tesla's infamous build quality can surprise. Well, this isn't exactly shocking since it's not the first case of this nature, but it does bring something new to the table: it happened on a brand-new 2021 Tesla Model 3.
Did we say, "brand new"? We meant it had literally been in the possession of its new owner for just a few minutes. Inderpal Kaur, the unlucky owner of the white 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus, had taken delivery of her vehicle and was reversing, by the looks of it, in the garage when the rear right window just popped.
Luckily, nobody got hurt since both Kaur and her sister were sitting in the front. However, the weird experience didn't leave the fresh Tesla owner entirely unruffled, as the text she sent insideevs.com clearly demonstrates: "[...] happened to me minutes after delivery. It was the back right window of my car as well, except me and my sister were in the car and were reversing it. I’m very disturbed by this and obviously very disappointed as well."
Well, this happened on the evening of January 1, and by the looks of it, Kaur's Model 3 is still sitting in the garage with zero miles on the clock. Well, it would have had zero if somebody at roadside assistance hadn't told her to take the EV to the nearest Tesla Service Center, only to find it closed. Now, she's waiting for a fix.
Unlike previous cases, this time Tesla seems to take responsibility for the situation and even ventured so far as to post an explanation: “Although no one has actually taken a look at the car yet, they have hypothesized that it was due to a defect in the window along with the elevated cabin pressure of a new Tesla,” Kaur reveals. Either that, or we're dealing with another act of God. Man, this Guy must really be a Tesla short seller.
