Please comment on what you would do in this scenario?!
Thx in advance .
Update Star Log 10/9- Called Tesla SC earlier today- They tracked my car said it seemed like it was in Charlotte on lot !
2pm - headed to Tesla to look over car - it wasn’t on lot... so went inside asked about it- They pinged it , and said it was at overflow lot - and I took the address for a peek ...
2:30 pm Overflow lot is Body Shop! The Car is there getting FRONT bumper replaced ... wth/ Body shop said car should be ready Friday for Tesla to pick up but wouldn’t tell me why the bumper is being changed!
The paint looked fine, interior was perfect gaps looks fine but car was filthy, and require just a deeper inspection when gets back to Tesla. I didn’t see why the bumper is requiring changing but the tires, and 88 miles on it concerned me just A little bit more. Looks Like someone’s been having fun with it. I don’t appreciate the shadiness of being so vague when you try to get answers , and hiding these things on any car we are buying from Tesla.
So what are your thoughts?!

First, CONGRATS! This was your first official look at the car. Great to know it is finally in Charlotte!
In terms of the bumper, I wouldn't be concerned. Many cars have issues that need to be addressed by the body shop, and most of the time the buyer wouldn't necessarily know. I had that orange on my car as well on a chip that needed to be fixed by the body shop. It was fixed perfectly, and the car was cleaned up when I took delivery.
Question for you: Where did you see that the car has 88 miles on it? That does seem excessive to me. All of the paperwork for me had "50 miles", which I understand is just their standard. I believe the car had 7 miles on it when I picked it up. I would look into the 88 miles for sure, but I wouldn't be too terribly concerned. As a point of reference, I drove my car like I stole it for the first 88+ miles. In fact, I have 1121 miles on it as of today, all of which put a smile on my face.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Thank you Randy! It was awesome to actually see it... hopefully when it’s back at Tesla I will get a better handle on the bumper, mileage , and true tire condition .
The interior screen showed 88 miles upper left- is that range?
YES, YES can’t wait to tear some I.C.Eosaurs up lol on our way to Asheville for our holiday jaunt ‘

Okay, that's battery/range You would have had to click into one of two menu's and scrolled down to see odometer reading. Remind me if you have done your paperwork already? If so, I would push to move your delivery up from the 25th, especially if the body shop is saying they will be done this Friday. Chat with the SC Manager and see if she is able to pull delivery forward. If all paperwork is done, they want the car delivered and off their lot just as badly as you do...
BTW, my first mod:

Ok!
No , haven’t heard a peep from IDA Christina yet , and I asked them today? They local SC said she will get an update that car is in Charlotte , and contact me about finalizing details ...
The body shop also said sometimes in their experience, the parts for Tesla don't come quickly sometimes it takes a few extra weeks , and months
I wish I knew why they are changing the dang front bumper !

I know right! Have to talk to Tesla eventually when over there and see what happened to that bumper?!
Odometer is 23 miles , so I likely will get back with 33 miles ...
