Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and looking for input from current and/or former owners (specifically DE owners if any are around) as I am weighing a decision on if I'll be pulling the trigger on a used Dream Edition Performance.
Mostly I'm wondering, how are these vehicles "aging" at this point? One fear that is pulling me away from buying is that this available model has a sub-100 DE number, so I'm worried about whether early production build quality issues have started to crop up on dream editions. I currently own a 22 Model Y LR that was an early model from Tesla's Austin factory, so I've lived through the frustration of having various issues that can or cannot be fixed.
The model I'm looking at is a lease return with about 20K miles on it, so I'd basically only have about half of the warranty left (assuming Lucid would honor it as I wouldn't be the original owner) and on test drive I definitely noticed a few worrying signs - i.e. the creaking steering wheel (which appears to be a common issue based on other threads I read here), scratches around the perimeter on the main (pilot?) screen, blind spot indicators/cameras not turning on, signs of wear in the interior, etc.
The car is in very good, but not excellent shape, and thus far all of this is enough to give me pause, though I definitely can't stop thinking about how amazing the DE drove and the performance and range boost I'd be getting from my Y.
TL;DR: How are Dream Edtions currently holding up and are nagging build issues starting to pop up more and more?
I welcome thoughts and opinions from anyone who wishes to offer them.
Thanks!
