Wanted to close the loop on this thread - I just took delivery today. The rematch took 6 days, and then another couple days to wait for the next appointment. Delivered VIN is 5468X
All in all it was relatively smooth given some of the horror stories here.
My delivery story:
- Showed up on time for my 2:45 appointment, was immediately told they’re running 1 hr behind. Ended up being 1.5 hrs.
- Was asked to sign paperwork immediately. They assured me I could still reject delivery even after signing so I went ahead.
- I counted a total of 5 paint issues, 3 on the rear bumper alone (see pics below).
- The rear seats had very deep impressions from the seat belt buckle, indicating the car had been stored with the seats folded down (pic below).
- Panel gaps seemed ok. Although the proximity sensors weren’t very flush with the bumpers. Every car in the lot had this issue though so I didn’t make a big deal out of it.
- As others have noted, the rear bumper color is slightly different than the metal panels. This was also consistent with every car in the lot so I didn’t bother asking.
- No die-cast car or Dual Motor badge. DS had no idea about how I could get either item. Will need to follow up with Tesla directly.
- Windows, side mirrors, and 1 wheel was not cleaned well so I had them go over it again.
- All cars came only half charged. I was ok with that, but others in the lot seemed pretty bothered by it.
Here’s the worst of the pain blemishes, all on the rear bumper:

And the imprinted rear seats:

The DS took photos of everything I pointed out and said it’ll take a week or so for these issues to get documented in the system and advised me to make a service appointment after that point.
Hope this is informative. Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the helpful info that guided me through ordering and delivery!
