Anyone Pissed Tesla Letting Employees all over our cars?

Just Sat in a Model Y. Took a Million Pics

Normally I wouldn't make a fuss over this but considering all the cars were seeing in pics are 70K+ performance versions (and the one linked above could literally be my car, exact same config), its kind of discouraging to see employees sitting, opening doors wide open, and trampling all over new customer cars. The back area looks like there were three adults sitting in it going on joy rides (check out the floor pics).

Obviously everyone is excited, but there should be policies in place where movers get in the car, move it where it needs to go and get out. I want to see pics as much as anyone else, but let the owners of the cars be all over their cars and post them.

If you think that's bad, you'd probably be shocked at all the factory workers getting their hands all over the car, even under the trim!

Nope

Hear no evil, and see no evil means I won't be pissed.

One thing I am confused by though is why is there still no confirmation on whether there is a tow hitch or not a tow hitch.

I think that blue one might be a test mule. Look at the pillar behind the driver door camera outlet. Looks like there is some pealing of the tint or material just below it and up at the top. Doubt that is how they would deliver a new car.

It almost looks like some doctoring/blurring of the image has occurred right where the tow hitch access door would be?

I didn't read through the hundreds of posts there, but did the poster say he's a Tesla employee? I thought he was just some random guy who was at the right place at the right time and took advantage of the situation. Or wrong place at the wrong time if one is concerned about other people possibly sitting in their cars before delivery.

My main takeaway is that he felt the driver, passenger and cargo space was pretty roomy. However, he's only 5' 9", so not the best one to gauge roominess.

I think that's just a protective film.

I used to work at a car dealer when I was young. You should see what 18 year olds do with the keys to a truckload of brand new cars.

Not just new cars:

Relax. Just be happy you're getting a cat that people are genuinely excited by. Do you think the SAs at the Chevy dealership get all giddy when the new Impala arrives?

 

[destructure00]

Oh god, not people sitting in new cars. With the doors open even.

take a guess who helps put together your car? yeah thats right, tesla employees

Sitting in it is a lot different than ragging on it via a test drive. Make sure your miles are < 10 when you take delivery if you care about such things. Price you pay when you absolutely have to have a new model the first month it comes out. In 3 months, no one there will care as it will be just another model Y.

and it's going to get detailed before delivery.

Is that the new milage thing? Ten miles. When mine was delivered in 2016 they were all listed at 50 miles.

That isn't actual miles on the car - just an arbitrary value Tesla uses in their system for new cars. Check the miles when your car is delivered - should be under 10 (I think mine was 3 miles on my model 3).

I’m sure some factory workers took breaks and had quickies in your new Model Y...... just breaking it in for you...
