Consumer Description

Left side trim to the left of the glass roof I have protruding dents popping outward in metal. I had 3 dents and 1 of 3 was pushed down flush but the other two are still present. I have worked with Tesla service center and they have ignored my issue by not addressing the two additional protruding dents. Normal dents are known to go inward and these are going upward or outward. Tesla service drove to meet me with a same year model S as mine and both the left and right sides were observed to have many protruding dents potentially from the underlying frame. Several visits were made to service center as they continued to ignore my issue but after walking the parking lot they were surprised that other model S long range and plaids have dents protruding out of the metal which is not normal. As I have been told my issue isn't covered under warranty, not sure why. But my perspective something underneath the metal is causing it push upward or outward that should be addressed. I opened a BBB case 18002067 and the Tesla service center never addressed the concern to completion.
