Help me understand how when I can inspect my car. Is this before or after doing paperwork etc? Do I show up and say, oh look my car. I'll check back with you after I inspect, OR, I have to complete documents, get a key card etc before inspecting?
i picked mine up in burbank which is literally just the rooftop of the burbank town center parking structure...i believe 24 hurs before your pick up date, you will receive a text or email about the pick up window and the actual spot number your car is in
just pulled into the garage and kept going up to the roof top. there you will see a sea of tesla's waiting to be picked up! glorious sight!
i parked my car and went on to the app to "accept delivery" - this will unlock your car
not one person acknowledged me, but i didnt expect to be pampered. i found my car and just opened the door. there was a laminated placcard on the windshield that gave instructions on what to do. there was a clipboard with DMV forms and a pen waiting inside the vehicle.
at this point, you can do whatever you want (inspect, take pictures, drive off).
if you find something wrong with your car or if you have questions, there are plenty of tesla associates walking around and attending to other cars. once everything looks good on your end, you can take your car home. on the way out, there is one final checkpoint where as associate will go over your documents to make sure everything is correct (took less than a minute).
im sure not all places will be exactly like this, but the process will be pretty standard.
congrats and enjoy!
