Blue/Black AWD non-P aeros. I’ll post the VIN once I have a replacement VIN.

I would not worry about it. I was just unlucky this time. The dents look like they could be fixed by a paintless dent repair tech and the scratch can be touched up without a huge amount of work. If it would have been just one of those things by itself, I would have taken it.

Yea, if it would have been one dent or just the scratch, I would have had it fixed and taken it. The car was six weeks early so the extra time for a replacement is not going to really kill us. I still have two cars to sell to clear out the garage so a little extra time is OK.
Was supposed to take delivery at Costa Mesa today. Arrived and was told the car was not available because the battery was not charged and they needed to tow it to a charger in order to detail/verify it. Not sure why that information was given to me only when I arrived - clearly they knew the car had not been detailed if it wasn't even on site at that point. Things were very busy there, granted, but it was a wasted trip.
I'll give them a pass for now, but could have been very problematic for someone who had sold their car or come a very long way. A little concerning because it's a 54XXX VIN and therefore one of the 'oldest' non-P AWD cars out there, AFAIK. Concerned it's been sitting around for a long time, and now planning to inspect extra carefully and reject if any non-minor defect discovered.

Uh! I am not sure what that means..yes, I am familiar with google. I was hoping the subpanel feed from the main panel would support 60a such that I could charge the M3 at full power (48a). I did read where AWG 6 was pretty common for subpanel feed from a main. If I am reading this correctly it should be good for 100a. Yea! Does that sound right?

Yep, thats why i am not selling my car until I get my new car and drive it for maybe a month or so to make sure all is good. I am sorry, but thats weak response for why car is not ready.
Called today to check if I got a VIN. Sure enough I did! Also have a person assigned to my case already. VIN is in the 64xxx range. Can't remember the last few. Will update the list when I'm home!

My understanding is they don't do trade in evaluations at all. You mail in copious pictures and history, maybe they do a carfax. Tesla told me to go to CarMax, get a written estimate and then take the higher. Strictly speaking they said if you don't like Tesla's offer go to CarMax. Why wait though...be ready up front. To continue they said they would match a CarMax appraisal. A year ago when I test drove an S, the sales guy said they simply go by what CarMax says. Probably they just sell your car to them for their used car lot. I suspect they don't view trade-ins as a revenue source, just a convenience to buyer.
Interesting. I guess there is a significant degree of randomness in VIN assignment. I'll post the manufactured date when I finally get it.

Yea. I was disappointed by the damage but it's hard to tell when and where it happened.
@jelloslug,
So they let you look over the car without having to sign the Docs and hand over the check correct? I’m not going to do that if possible until I look the vehicle over. Some have said they won’t let you see it until you sign and pay to show its “yours” but how can you back out then. You lose total leverage. Others have said they let you look at the vehicle first.

I had already paid for it days ago. I got a call this morning telling me that the delivery was off for today because of the scratch. I wanted to see the scratch in person to see if it was really that bad so I went to the store to check it out. They pulled it around front and we checked out the scratch and looked over the entire car. It was at that point when we had discovered the dents. The car had not been prepped for deliver at that point because they stopped when they found the scratch. Once we found the other damage, we decided that we did not want the exterior repainted at all and refused delivery on the car. They understood and started the process of replacing the car right then.
I am excited for you. I really need to replace my car and I am hoping to get a VIN assigned soon. It shouldn’t be much longer as a 4/2 reservationist, I hope. I should give them a call too. I assume you call the sales number, right?
my vin is 64xxx as well taking delivery this Saturday in NY as well! red awd non p !
