Dont worry on the QC, my car i picked up on the weekend was the exact same a customer didnt accept it so it got pushed to me. I picked up in Barrie as well. My car was flawless with not a single issue.

Yup, 192xxx VIN. Came with AMD, new 12V, wiper heater and dual pane front windows in terms of 'upgrades' everyone is looking for.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing your journey home!
I'm patiently waiting for mine (Nov, M3 RWD) and will be doing that trip a couple times a year to my cottage (/camp
) about 90 mins east of TBay. I'm curious if you've noticed many local Tesla's in NWO and if you know does Tesla provide any kind of service in TBay?
Were you able to use Autopilot on the Trans Canada much past the Soo?

We have a few clients who'll be waiting till October so it says but hope they get production up and can get theirs sooner...

There's probably 10 or so Tesla's in town (Mostly M3, i know of one MS). Now +1 M3 haha. We have no service here. Apparently mobile service will come out here but they probably wait for a few calls to request service before they dispatch someone here.
I probably logged close to 400KM on auto pilot on my trip, both divided highway and single lane.
On divided highway its flawless.
When it comes to single lane's on the trans canada, It has its quirks of 'phantom breaking' but i overcome that pretty easily once i understood it (and hopefully software updates fix it).
Here's what i learn't and will save you some time of 'trial and error' to master AP past the Soo
1. When there is a transport coming in your direction expect the car the *sugar* bricks. It think's you're going to have a head on collision and will do the warning chimes AND do emergency breaking. This is super dangerous if you have someone following you. I had to learn AP with my wife and son in the car at the time and make sure no one was behind me so i didn't get rear ended. (solution to follow, keep reading)
2. When your are no longer on a divded highway AP restricts cruise control to 100kmh. This sucks. I was cruising 100-125 the whole time.
To overcome both items below here's what you do:
set cruise control to something you won't ever be below (eg. 95kmh). I then controlled the speed with the accellerator pedal and kept the car above 95, usually more around the 100-115kmh speed. When you have your foot on the pedal the car will not apply any form of brakeing automatically. This stops the car from emergency breaking/phantom breaking.
You will still get the head on collsion warning, and i just prepared myself for a warning chime everytime a transport was coming at me. This happened probably 95% of the time, its very predictable. The only times it didnt go off was when we were both coming at eachother on a corner. Very easy to reproduce and hopefully tesla fixes this.
By applying the solution above it:
1. Allows AP to operate beyond 100KMH.
2. Doesn't perform emergency breaking.
Needless to say AP is amazing, i did a good chunk for driving on AP single lane past the soo and it did some crazy winding turns flawless going fast. Truely an engeineering marvel!
That's awesome! Thanks for all the tips using AP.+1 on camp

One other thing I've been curious about, spotty 3G/LTE coverage. There are stretches on Hwy 17 I know that are complete dead zones for any carrier, some where Bell/Telus only have service and others where Rogers/Tbaytel have coverage but not Bell. Did you happen to notice if the car roams between providers or is it one or the other?
Yeah, and im happy with that for now, this allows me to bypass the 100Km/hr limit it has on non divided highways and stop the emergency braking when a transport is coming my way. Thats what i like about these cars is, i hope, with time it will be fixed vs buying a traditional car - this is how the car would be for its lifetime. I set it low so i am always applying pressure on the accelerator pedal to prevent the phantom braking. If i let it go it will slow down to 95kmh but then im prone to the braking. I have confidence this will get better with time.
We had some spots with no cell service in the car (and both of our cell phones as well). It doesn't show much in terms of the provider it's connected to, we usually noticed it when our internet streaming music would stop. I wish when it gets data/service the music automatically resumes and i dont have to click Play.
That is an interesting work around for AP on non-divided highways I will have to try that out. It is not ideal but a better solution to the car slamming on its brakes like I am hearing can happen in those scenarios.

Well it was graduation day for me on Saturday, the delivery process went very smooth. Have already put a few hundred KM's on the car and given it a full charge.

I did that in my 2020 model with radar. Keeping your foot on the accelerator lightly ensures that you minimize braking and minimize unwanted acceleration. Great way to optimize your range up and down hills.
My pickup had the following- is this typically normal and all fixable? Service appointment on April 13
-frunk higher one side then other
-trunk alignment, one corner really tight to bumper
-rear bumper you can kind of see the clips from certain angles on both sides where it connects
-steering wheel alignment was slightly off to the right

Most of the issues you mentioned could've get fixed right when you received your car. But yet an appointment will get all of them fixed as long as you report to them within 24/48 hours of taking delivery (I'm not 100% sure on this).
