So I took my car (2018 Model 3 LR_AWD) in to the Devon, PA SC on March 11th for the HW3 upgrade. The experience was very good and everything went great. Since I am becoming more mature , I tend to forget things and of course, I forgot to give them their keycard back from the loaner and also, to take my garage remote from the visor of the loaner.
This necessitated a return trip back to Devon on Monday, the 16th, to exchange their keycard for my remote. While there, I asked if they had a Perfomance Model 3 I could test drive. To make a long story short, I ended up trading in my LR_AWD (they offered me a very good trade-In value) for a Model 3 Performance that was destined for New York for general sale. It was in transit at the time, so my SA had it redirected to Devon and I was scheduled to pick it up on the 24th. On the Thursday, March 19th, Governor Wolf announced that all non-essential businesses are required to shut down and released an official list of non-essential businesses to close. Auto Sales locations were included on that list. On Friday, the 20th, my SA notified me that the car had arrived and was ready for pick-up. I was told to come get it or I would have to wait until the Coronavirus restrictions were lifted. My SA told me they have to shut down by 8:00 pm and who knows when they can reopen to be able to pick up my car after that. (may have been just sales speak) Of course, I hopped in my car and went and picked it up. When I got there, it was really hectic. He stated they were trying to deliver 200+ cars before they closed.
Anyway, I got my car and absolutely love it. The car is still on FW 2019.35.108 so I could not really put the car through its paces. I could see cones but nothing else and only had version 1 of track mode (still fun though). No NoAP.
So getting to the point of this thread, the Coronavirus pandemic has hit Tesla (and all other auto manufacturers) in PA, and from what I hear, New Jersey is next. Keep an eye on your state's upcoming coronavirus restictions if you plan on test driving a car. It may be a while before Tesla test drives and more importantly, deliveries will be available in your area.
