    Those that picked up in/near Orange County, CA was the front plate attached?

    We picked up in Costa Mesa and called ahead of time to see if they would give us the car without installing the front plate -- their answer was that they were required to install the plate per California law. I mentioned that different dealerships in California have different policies. Their...

    Liftgate opens too high for garage

    So we did two things: 1. We changed the open-height setting like @Bikeman suggested. Worked perfectly. More specifically, we opened the lift gate and stopped it short of hitting the garage door. Then we manually set the height to where we wanted it to stop, then pressed and held the liftgate...

    HOV Sticker and DMV Registration

    At the time we picked up our MY we asked for a copy of the documentation that we signed, but they told us a copy would be uploaded to the site. Now that we're attempting to apply for the HOV stickers, the DMV form is asking us to provide our registration, which we don't appear to have. When...

    Liftgate opens too high for garage

    That's a great tip. I'll try it out. Thank you. Yes, something similar occurred to me as well, like using block foam (from packaging materials). I don't have any pool noodles but I do have foam. Thanks again.

    Liftgate opens too high for garage

    I wasn't expecting it but after parking in our garage today I started opening the lift gate and found that at the very top it touches our (open) garage door. Fortunately, I was able to stop it by hand before it actually hit. I tried it again putting a towel to keep it from scratching but it...

    Delivery Canceled

    Got our MY today and we're pretty happy with it. Went thru the checklist as best we could and found a number of small gap issues. The biggest issue was the front trunk was pretty uneven on the passenger side compared to the driver side. They were able to adjust it slightly but the gap was...

    Delivery Canceled

    I agree that it's good that they caught this before we went in. It's just disappointing, and wondering why their delivery centers have higher standards for paint color than the factory does

    Delivery Canceled

    We were scheduled to pick up the Y today and received a call stating that their delivery inspection caught a fender color issue, so they canceled our delivery until this is fixed. They said it could take as long as Thursday. It's too bad that Tesla factory quality is so low that they let these...

    Delivery Questions

    Hi, we're preparing for delivery this weekend and I have a couple of questions: 1. We've financed the vehicle and our bank already wired over their part. Tesla is asking us to wire over the down payment, which would mean that the vehicle is 100% paid for before we even get to see the vehicle...

    SF bay check for VIN. Just got mine.

    Got our text yesterday stating that our vehicle was en route, and requesting us to set a delivery date. A VIN wasn't there at first but set the pickup date/time, then a VIN appeared after that.
