I saw on another thread that you check the sticker on the side panel of your front door when you open it.

Totally agree regarding this forum. I told my friend that if he has questions about his Tesla or how to etc etc that joining this forum is a must or he's gonna miss out on important things. hahahahaha I've learned everything I know about Tesla from this forum. I am super thankful for its existence.

I ignored the online payment in the app and called the Fremont Delivery center. I asked if I can bring a cashiers check for the full amount directly from my bank. They said no problem. I did just that at delivery day.

Hi, I am really happy for you. The fact you got the latest configuration and had a pleasant interaction with DA at DC is a huge plus. I have stated before that if you contact your DA at DC ahead of time and let him/her know that you wish to inspect the exterior and interior prior to acceptance, most of them would be accomodating and open your assigned vehicle for you (if not, contact the manager at that DC). Have fun with the baby and stay on top of Tesla to address all issues you noticed at the delivery.I picked up my car yesterday (1/12). VIN NF3502XX.
It has the AMD Ryzen chip. No dual pane rear glass, no projector headlights, and I'm not removing the front shroud to check if theres a LiON 12v.
Overall pickup experience at Irvine Delivery Center on a Wednesday morning was pleasant. It's not EOQ so there were very few cars. I got checked in 15 minutes early, let the delivery person know I wanted to check out that car, they unlocked the car, and they let me look it over as much as I want. No pressure to accept the car at all.
From my prev post, I said I wasn't going to be OCD about a few panels being a few mm off, but the first thing I saw was a minor paint defect on the hood and immediately I went into reject/OCD mode and saw:
I was originally meant to take delivery 12/31 and it was clear this was a rushed EOY car.
- Minor paint defect on hood (looks like it got hit by a small rock from transport down)
- Rear hatch panel is visibly not flush.
- I don't need to slide my finger through to tell. When I do run my finger through there's a steep drop from one panel to the next.
- Inside door insert had an indentation
- Looks like the factory worker clamped it too hard installing it
- All the rubber seals around 3 out of the 4 doors are loose
- The back headliner was either falling off or the rubber seal was not attached properly
- Rear passenger door handle sticking out (not flush)
- Front bumper is a few mm not flush.
- This would have been the few mm off and accept the car situation, but the paint defect already changed my mood.
I mentioned the delivery agent gave me no pressure at all to accept the car, so I took many walks around the service center to think about rejecting/accepting it. I inspected the other White Model Y's for the delivery and they ALL have the same rear hatch not flush issue. There was a Red and a Gray Model Y; their rear hatches were perfectly flush. Seems like this batch of White Y's were rushed out.
Since the other White Model Y's had the same issues, I decided to accept the car. I'm not sure if it's gonna take weeks or months to get reassigned another VIN.
The next available service appointment is 2 weeks out. I went through Tesla service before with my Model 3 and they always fixed my issues and follow up with me to make sure everything is okay. As mentioned the delivery agents were pleasant to deal with. Waiting for the car sucks, but 90% of my interactions Tesla employees show they have good intentions so I'm confident the Model Y's issues will be addressed
To end with a good note, the car drives great. Better than my 2018 Midrange Model 3. It seems smoother and the regen braking feels more natural. They updated the wing mirrors so it's easier to see. And to be fair, my Model 3's panels never lined up right either.
I will give an update after I get the car back from service. For now I will enjoy the vehicle.
One lesson: Bring your checklist. I wouldn't have noticed the rubber seals being loose without the checklist. Most of the things I listed are addressable. The only one I'm worried about is the paint defect, but maybe they'll just give me a new hood

All DCU threads seem to be locked (and I understand why), so posting this here in case someone knows the answer:
- Do I need to open a "Free Checking" account during the application process?
- Does the loan applicant need to match the car's registered owner with Tesla?
- Do I need to open a "Free Checking" account during the application process?
- Does the loan applicant need to match the car's registered owner with Tesla?
Yes, that's them. Sorry, I don't come to the waiting rooms much anymore, too busy back with other aspects of life like driving the car.
Thanks. Frankly, since this board lives on but the people change constantly, that biblical version of events should just be bumped like every 2 months. It took awhile to write.

Once you are approved, the first step is to become a member, secondly, you will be asked to open a free checking account, and finally, if you wish to get their lowest APR, you would have to initiate a direct deposit to the newly created checking account.
Yes.I have hit my EDD window 5 times and it keeps getting pushed out. Tomorrow is the first day of my new windows. Never received a vin. Ordered in august. Called Irvine and they were no help at all.
Black MYLR 5 seater.
Yup, mine got bumped 3 times in 2 days recently. I passed on the VIN though in the end because I won't be here to take delivery

Just entered fist day of edd 1/14-1/28. I’m not optimistic seeing all of your dates get pushed. Rocklin is my delivery center.

EDD changed again 1/17 to 1/31. At least it got back down to a 2 week range.
