Missing front wheel hex mounting plate and Raspberry Pi won't connect to network via WiFi or RJ45

The first assembly step couldn't be done properly without the front wheel hex mounting plate, but we assembled the wheels anyway, in faith that we could add them right after the spare parts were shipped and that the screw would hold without them. However, the Raspberry Pi, advertised as a way to learn to program, does not connect to the network to even log in to start programming. The guide describes a number of different approaches to setting up an SD card for the Pi. None of these approaches have been successful. All in all it wasn't the best experience. We first emailed support two (2) days ago regarding hex plates and still have not received a response. We pushed the machine to today as we finished building it and found the Raspberry Pi not connecting to the network. I didn't disassemble the machine to try the Pi myself as I don't have a screen or other troubleshooting tools. We contacted support today about connection issues and didn't get a response either. If we do not receive support within a few days, I will return the product. I hope. My daughter really wanted to build and play with the car!

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • For old
