There is a bedding procedure in the service menu that monitors temps and walks you through each step (mph/full brake, etc).

Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

Forget they even did anything and proceed with the instructions above. Same way you get work done and immediately go out and verify it was completed properly on any other part of your car.
CCB bedding requires additional steps than iron disks do. The ST instructions are what I asked @UnpluggedP about my rotors and they said the ST instructions are sufficient to use with their CCBs too.
I wonder if regen is limited in this service mode to ensure rotors and pads come up to those temperatures?

So far day 2 of the install hasn’t been eventful. Car is still sitting there now 27 hours after being dropped off and hasn’t been looked at. Tesla really needs to step up their service game. Hopefully install will happen today or we will go into the third day of nothing being done. Totally unacceptable.

I suspect they were just venting, like many of us would be if we had our time wasted like this. For me, the $20k is not nearly as important as having my time wasted. For Tesla, $20k wouldn’t qualify as a speck of dust that one might wipe from their shoes on a welcome mat… but time? For many of us, time is one of the most important assets we have.
I totally understand what you are saying. I share their frustration but once I realized Tesla doesn't give a rat's butt about any of us, it made it easier to set my expectations appropriately. Maybe 5 years ago, Tesla worried about their customers enough. Maybe if you get the random SC who has employees that care and have enough time to care, you might have a good experience.
My opinion of Tesla bottomed out (and pretty much remained there) when they delivered my brand new S and the driver's door panel gap was so tight you couldn't open the door and when you finally did it popped so hard. That is when I realized they don't give a shite about what leaves the factory. There is no way anyone who got in the car couldn't have been aware of that issue. Not the factory, not the delivery driver, not the SC who PDI'd the car, let alone the delivery driver. It was a big fail at every chance they had to catch it. Then when it took over a month to get fixed, I knew I'd likely be looking elsewhere for my next new car.
So my track pack will be done at the same SC who delivered my car in such a terrible state. You can bet your assets I'll be going over the install with a fine-tooth comb before I take delivery of my car after the CCB install. I hope I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
So they let you keep the old parts? I don’t see why they wouldn’t but Tesla never ceases to surprise.

Yes if you ask to retain the parts, you can have them. They are yours.

Wish me luck. They pulled my car into the shop this afternoon getting it ready for the night technician to start the install.
My service center runs around the clock but only open the public 8-6.

Good luck!
Ask if they are going to bed the brakes as part of the install or if that is something you have to do on your own. I'd want them to do it so if there is any issue with the brakes, they can't blame you.

Late last night they put my car back outside. Nothing had happened. This is really getting to be beyond ridiculous. Third day just sitting there.

Thanks for being an early adopter. I hope by the time they get to mine they have it all sorted out.

Update at 2pm PDT. Apparently the tech had a question he needed to get resolved about the brake bleed or the bleed tool.

Certainly impressive considering the Pilot Sport 4S on stock 21s. I feel a lot better knowing that my stock Michelins can really play with the big boys. I can’t wait to get my track pack brakes installed!
