Got my car on Sat. VIN 65K. Initially when I got the vin I was worried it's a bit low, but checked the spreadsheet and there were a number of people getting the same VIN for the config at the end of Sept. Seems it's an early August build, car door says 8/2018. Found a dealership registration in the glovebox, which was only ~10days earlier than my delivery, so I don't think it had any previous issues, just sat in a lot for a month somewhere, probably. We heard of delivery hell, so not unexpected.
Since I choose to become a "difficult" customer just in case and asked them to pay after I see, they circumvented the procedure for me and did introduction/checking out first before the paperwork, which normally goes the other way around.
DA spent 5-10min talking about the car,charger etc. I listened, since I never tried to memorize where all controls are. Meanwhile we were checking out the exterior. I was mostly concerned about paint, window cracks, and underside damage from unloading. Didn't find anything major. I did feel a bit in a rush, since they kept mentioning they have so and so many deliveries to do in this hour, at one point I asked if I can just have time with the car myself w/o taking their time, so then DA left. He did mention you have 3 days to find issues at home, so there's no pressure to find everything there.
Holding the checklist in my hand, I realized I'm not going to have the patience to go through it all there. So, we did a really thorough job of checking interior/exterior (or so I thought) and since I realized there's no basis to reject, we went to do the paperwork. I only found one minor paint scuff around the headlight on the corner of a panel.
Asked if we could fix it right there(a touch up), but they said there was only one guy and he was not there, so probably I need one of those mobile appointments.
Also found some sticker residue on the front glass inside/right side and on top glass above. Asked if they could clean it, but they suggested I clean myself with some thing I can't pronounce/remember or a vinegar. So, I tried with vinegar, it's a bit challenging to get it off. It is mostly gone, but I think not entirely. So, if you get an option of them doing it, it could be a better choice.
In total, prob. spent 20 min outside with the car
After spending more time at home checking out the car with a flashlight, I also found another paint micro-chip in the middle of passenger front door, prob around 1.5mm diameter. And some pretty shallow small scratch on top, which I would not consider a scratch on a car that's not new.
Also found dirty fingerprints on the inside of driver's visor (I think I forgot to open it there) and on the headliner above the door. I feel like outside light made it less visible than a dim light in the garage, so I did not see it there.
The only major issue is that charge port door does not close after charging. It keeps reopening. I would not have found it there, since there's no charging involved in delivery. However, it nags at me that they likely saw it when supercharged the car and did not fix it. The charge port door only closes when you walk away with the key and the car turns off. Then the charge port door also closes. I'm thinking they may be consciously delivering some of such known issues with expectation to fix them later.
There's also something unorthodox about the blinkers...sometimes it feels like they get stuck and you have to unstuck them. Maybe I'm not used yet to how they work, but it doesn't feel
normal.
So, planning to get this stuff in writing soon, but otherwise no regrets.
The car is great, my favorite feature so far is that you don't need to press brake before turns, b/c regenerative braking slows you down enough.
The acceleration is faster than I expected (didn't drive it before) the car comes with "Chill" mode on, so I did not get to feel it on the way back home. But when I changed the chill to standard and tried for the first time I got yelled at and my wife said "let me out", the daughter however said she liked it and once I traded places with my wife, she was soon doing the same
