Finally was able to pick up the car! It sounds cliche at this point but it is definitely worth the wait.
The Tesla in Kansas City was super accommodating to my schedule as I had to change delivery times due to my schedule.There were a few minor panel gaps. Paint was flawless. No scrapes on the bumper. 10 mi on the odometer. A very small wrinkle in the passenger seat. All the keys were there. It was missing the two covers in the trunk. Came with the portable charger pack. The car did come with summer tires but the Kansas City SA did tell me that they will swap them out to all seasons free of charge at a later service appt. They had 34 deliveries scheduled that day. The record was 75. They were very busy. Everybody was super helpful though. Already have a service appointment set up to take care of all the issues.
My VIN was 476 So it did not have the swivel screen. Maybe, more of a justification of not getting the swivel screen but I actually like how the screen sits flush on the dash. I am not sure if it is this way for the swivel screen? Obviously new headlights and tail lights. I was not worried that it was built over a month ago as the quality was very good in the odometer was at 10 miles.
It drives amazing. The handling is excellent. The acceleration is 2nd only to Plaid
and amazing. The sound system is very good. The technology is unbelievable. The yoke is going to take some getting used to. It is not easy to drive with one hand as I am used to with my other car. I threw a few air balls reaching for the top of the steering wheel. The 19-in wheels and aero covers actually look much better than I thought. The whole car just has a very clean look. The doors open and close without any issue and sound solid. I like the white seats. It makes it look more open. The ride is very quiet. I did not notice any vibrations going up to 80 mph. Have not tested out the noise canceling and is on as far as I know.
I am 6'6" And I fit in the seats well. There is ample amount of headroom. With the seat fully back I am actually able to straighten my legs out completely when driving which is a rarity.
I placed zero down and got a 3.24% rate with Wells Fargo when I applied through Tesla.
Insurance is 110 a month through Geico. Good or bad? Not sure
The amount of accessories I have collected over a year was stacking up also. I now need to find it all as it will likely keep me busy for a couple weeks !
The best part of the trip though was my son who came with me to pick it up said it was the best road trip he had ever been on and declared that he was now a Tesla nerd like myself.
Pics to come. Getting PPF and windows tinted.
