You seem like you are probably in the top 1% of picky customers. The one problem I had in my 3 year old model 3, which was fairly urgent, was fixed in 2 days.

Issues from your list like “tesla mobile app incorrectly identifies car as 100D” and “Autopilot down chime is distorted” are rightfully lower priority than things like brakes not working properly. Most people (including me) would not even notice most of these things on your list. I am not surprised you had to wait a while for those things to get fixed, I have a feeling you’re going to also be disappointed with your next vehicle.

Indeed. A camera fogging up in rain... Sure, probably a constructional error but if a car shop can fix that in a week I would be surprised. I am sure they would find some chemicals to don't let water condense here and maybe Tesla would train mechanics to do it. But this probably didn't get the highest priority.

I mean these are things that might need improvement, but to me a car transports me from A to B. Given, I also don't pay much for them.

The camera fogging up disables autopilot and prevents it from working so it's not quite as trivial as it seems. It's not normal for it to fog up, none of the other cameras do.

Maybe I am picky, but I also spent $100K on this car. Frankly I think if you spend that much you should expect better quality.

I am actually taking delivery of a new X on Monday so I am definitely going to be interested in the build quality

I would never expect perfection from something that is mass produced regardless of the price
