Black Model Y Waiting Room

[fredzos]

I should add that the paint quality was pretty bad on my model Y. The pickup location did a cheap wax detail that covered up imperfections but after I stripped the wax in a good wash I saw that I had my work cut out for me.
My car was probably on the top of a truck facing backwards, in this first pic these are bug guts on the bumper that were caked into the paint. This is how it looked after I stripped the wax, clay bar, and washed again:

Noticed lots of swirls and scratches after I debadged:

Also, I guess my rear T was installed when the paint was still soft, so after debadged and buffed like crazy, there is a T indent still:

It took me two days to do paint correction, still waiting in the garage for my PPF to come in but after that deep detail and two coats of ceramic she's a beauty

From a detailers eye there are still imperfections that I couldn't fix and even some mistake I made with ceramic but to the average person it's immaculate

i had the same problem with my paint too.

when picking up, everything looked fine, but when i dropped it off for the ppf, they found all the same problems with the paint as you.

sent me pics and told me it's normal with tesla. majority of the teslas they get, they see the exact same before starting the ppf.

Just curious did you get for ppf or just the key areas?

I got mine from Amazon, there are a few sellers to choose from and styles like chrome, gloss black, or red. I specifically got these:

I got my MYP on Saturday, and it just got the latest update tonight, installing now. So a few days for those that are waiting.

 

[Blacked_Y]

Haven't gotten mine yet, lot slower rollout than expected but I really don't care lol, I don't want to get into the habit about stressing Waiting for the newest update to come along. I've heard mixed reviews about the park assist, I've never owned a car with USS so not a big deal for me. The cameras alone are huge for helping me park

Now that I say that the update just came thru lol

 

[Blacked_Y]

It's making some crazy sounds during update got me watching it now, headlights turning on and off and all kind of stuff I haven't experienced . Would be wild if someone walked by seeing this happening at night

Great! Many congratulations! Enjoy! Please share your pick up experience if you can

Well picked up car. Experience was great walked around the car checked everything and agreed in the app to take possession. The only snag was they didn't have tags processed through tesla yet so had to sign a waiver that "it couldn't be drive on the street" but of course I did. Tags are supposed to be emailed to me Sat or Sun. Other than that small rattle behind rear view mirror already scheduled for fix. Car is great and fun to drive. Hope everyone enjoys theirs.

One week in and I'm still smiling!

agreed am like 3 days in and it's definitely a really fun car to drive. I used to have a mustang that was supercharged that was a lot of fun this one blows it away though.

My hand keeps going the the top of the bottle that I have in the cupholder!

I think I'm going to try installing my ambient lights, I'm too used to the subtle blue glow of my past BMWs.

 

[Fantome2024]

whelp I had a nice car for 4 days lol. 18 wheeler going the opposite way chunked a big rock and broke my front window...... time to get new glass already lol

 

[mclark2112]

I already took a rock hit to the front right fender. I have a guy looking at it tomorrow morning. At least it didn't scratch the paint.
