the Y is quite a bit taller than i anticipated. i don't know why i would have thought otherwise. quite disappointed she didn't open it up.

Yes, makes me cringe seeing how closely the Model Y is parked next to the driver's door of the Mercedes. It's not as if the lot is jam-packed; there are lots of open spaces there. At least it's not a customer's Model Y awaiting delivery/pick-up.Also, those are really narrow parking stalls. I’d never park there.
I felt the same way but then realized they parked as close as possible for the comparison shots. I certainly wouldn't want someone parking that close to my car!

My Bad. I did not finish watching the video when they went around the car with the elevator music.
Full size spare in the trunk just in case something happened during the long hauls.

I wouldn't be the happiest about having this guy poking and prodding and climbing on my car while it was in the parking lot. Like what I am seeing with the Model Y though. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the chrome delete... I think the chrome looks much better but, based on the amount of people that cover it up on the Model 3, I'm probably alone on that.

It's probably a demo/manufacturer/beta vehicle so the employees won't care too much since it's not their own.
As far as chrome/no chrome, it's a generational preference. 50+ grew up with muscle cars and chrome. Younger/middle age people are most likely the ones that don't like the chrome trim.

I've been dying for the opportunity to use this term in a post: "OK, boomer"
I'm a boomer and I'm mostly neutral on the subject. I don't mind the chrome-delete look, but I wouldn't go out of the way to do it after the fact if the car came with chrome. Where chrome does bother me is on the driver's side mirror mount. When the sun is at a certain angle, the light reflecting off the mount is blinding and I have to hold my hand up to shield it from my eyes. On the other hand, some of my boomer friends have enough trouble working the flush door handles and if they aren't shiny chrome, they may even have difficultly visually locating the handles on a car with a dark paint job.
I avoided using the term in post. Not sure how many would get offended.
The first thing I'll be doing after taking delivery is wrapping the center console to eliminate the piano black surfaces.
If the exterior had chrome, I would've wrapped that, too. The interior should take about 2-3 hours, so not too bad.
I wrapped the trim on my Lexus RC350 Fsport in about 4 hours (front radiator opening, door & window trim). Haven't done anything on the Audi, yet. I would've gotten the Black Optics package to black it all out, but I didn't like the wheels in that package.

I just turned 40... I prefer chrome.
That said, I HATE piano black and immediately covered that in our Model 3.
