Exactly. I went through all the cars and found the one that was best. I took that VIN down and brought it to the Tesla dealer. Which they then went into their system and emailed me a link to the car using the VIN.Sounds like a fortunate situation for this buyer that in the exact config they want they have 10 of the same vehicle already made sitting in a lot near to him. In this case I am sure he did not ask and just spent an hour of his time inspecting them and then plans on telling Telsa exactly which VIN# he wants.
Not sure what location but around me this would never be the case. Too many different centers and all are on the small side so never have that kind of inventory.
I then clicked the link in the email and started the purchase of buying the specific car. I did tell them I needed the front passenger wheel replaced with a new one. It has a clear coat issue. It is pretty minor. It is possible they will not replace the wheel and if that is the case I do have a backup VIN. It is not a bad car now I figured out how to fix the rear light panel. It was loose as I have found on many of the cars. But it is very easy to fix. I just pushed in until it clicked.
What does completely amaze me is the poor build quality of Teslas. It got me thinking and so I went around our cars that we have and none had the issues that I am finding on the brand new Teslas. They all fit together much better. The lights are flush. The door are flush when closed. There is no panels with a corner sticking up. Panels are aligned so when you look down them they do not stick out anywhere.
The one that is particularly bad is the front flights. Pretty much every Y the bottom of the light sticks out so I can get the ends of my fingers in. They are not flush to the car. I decided to take the one where the lights were the most flush. This car though has passenger doors that are not flush. Specially the passenger side. The hope is that over time this will get better.
