Those quality issues are completely unacceptable, especially the exterior ones considering they’ve been making these for like 10 years now

Good eye, the Plaid badge as well as the T emblem were taken off when I had paint protection film put on the entire car. I needed my car before a couple small things were completed so I picked it up before everything was completed. The only things left to do is to put film on the carbon spoiler (because I personally like the gloss carbon fiber look better) and to wrap the T emblems in the front and back in gloss black film to match the other black accents on the car. Seems easy enough but the film I had applied is Suntek Reaction film which has a ceramic coating built in and nothing sticks to it well so the installer needs to take compound to the area where the emblems go to take off the top coating and he didn't have time. I'm not sure I'm going to put the Plaid lettering back on because I don't like the chrome lettering so I may replace it with a Plaid badge like the ones that came on the first 25 cars that were sold.

You should just leave it off for the sleeper look

Shortly after getting it, I was constantly swarmed by guys wanting to race. People in WRX's, STi's, Focus ST etc. It really got annoying because it really wasn't that fast and I don't race...99 percent of the time ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

i think tesla made some sound deadening changes with the refresh. i think they even added laminated glass to back windows. my test drive though was only brief and on some back country roads so i couldn't get a real read.
i'd be very interested if you drive a new 3 at some point for comparison.
