I love my MY as well. I drove 1600km in 12 days!
I spent about an hour... I checked the outside, for any obvious gaps, popped all the doors and hood, checked for charge cable, and usb stick, checked all windows for operation, and door locks ( from all 4 door locations ) played with the power seats, reclined the rears... but BUT, when i arrived the car was still getting prepped inside, and waited another 30 mins before they brought it out..
Its a good question and I wondered that myself. When I picked up my M3LR a few weeks ago we spent 30-45 minutes checking it out and playing with it (was our first tesla so we didn't necessarily know how everything worked). I did a visual inspection to make sure no noticeable defects in paint, obvious misalignment of doors/windows, damaged interior, etc but I certainly wasn't a person out there with a ruler measuring gaps to the mm. I appreciate its a big purchase but its not necessarily that different than other vehicles (my buddy just bought a truck that was more than a Tesla costs) - and I've never seen anybody checking out cars on the dealership lots like that. Not sure why its become a thing for people buying Teslas - sounds like there were some horror stories about production in prior years so maybe that's where it has come from.
I spent 2 hours. An hour examining the car and time spent with the SA, then another hour just sitting inside familiarizing myself with the software.
Thanks for this information - I think I will check quickly and only address anyting obvious. I still dont' find myself checking the car in the parking lot for hours measuring every single gap.
Now I think about it, I have never inspected when I bought other cars in past. I just did a walk around for less than a min, get the key, and I drove away.
I placed my order March 14, 2022.
I was told by my Tesla contact that if you get a gift card then it wasn’t shipped with a mobile charger.
I am also in Vaughan, I have always taken my cars to SRS Tints and recommend them to anyone that asks
