TMC Member SilverSmith treated the forum to an up-close look at his Model Y, one of the earliest to be delivered.
Here’s how he described the delivery experience at the Tesla showroom in Salt Lake City, Utah:
We circled around the lot in our 2018 Model 3 and saw no Model Y’s at all! We walk in and tell them that we are expecting to pickup our Model Y and tell them our names. They were expecting us and had everything ready to go. Car was in a bay, cleaned and ready for us. We hand them the check, show insurance evidence, sign about 7 papers and we are allowed to start setting up our phone keys and drive away. We were asked to sign a media waiver and have our picture taken with the delivery guy (maybe he was a manager).
The Model Y was ordered in January, configured in Midnight Silver Metallic, fully loaded with the exception of the white interior and third row seating. It’s a Performance version with Turbine wheels, black interior, and full self driving.
SilverSmith also offered some observations after 12 hours of ownership:
