Also in Denver. Congrats! What was your order date? Do you mind if I ask where you’re taking it for PPF?

Just got home with this... (ordered 5/23, VIN 6/12, delivery today!)
Pickup was essentially just signing a form. I did spent a bit of time going over the vehicle and it seems to be in great condition.
All the better since I was originally told I wouldn't be getting this until September...

Door seals are strips of foam with adhesive. They go around the doors (and on the pillars) to reduce wind noise. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing installation and results.
The rear vent covers prevent small items from getting into the vents. Probably most useful if you plan to have kids in the back.
Don't follow what I did. This was a tough choice. I ended up with the TANDRIVE 2PCS Silicone Key Card Holder Case in blue and black. I'm sure you can find something nicer looking and more elegant. I was looking for something that can be used at the mechanics and the body shop that doesn't look terrible and doesn't cost too much.

I know the dates are constantly shifting and not to be trusted, but dayyum! That's the first October date I've seen pop up.
I also called my SA and he said to ignore the dates and I should still expect MY by end of this month.. I hope so. No VIN assigned though.

Nice! Looks like mine that I got to see for all of 30 minutes since we immediately dropped off for ppf/tint. Our panel gaps were all fine as well and the noise suppression during the short drive was heaps better than my 2018 model 3.

I got the cheap Motrobe kit on Amazon for $30. You can spend more at Teslarati or EVAnnex or one of those places. I don't know if they're any better. I plan to have my mechanic install it. There are kits for the roof and the windshield but I plan to only get those if it seems like I will need them.
Pick up my Model Y this Friday. 20 days order to delivery!
what's the vin?
I have to say, the wall connector is “meh” to me for the Y. I get 38 miles of range per hour on my NEMA 14-50 and 42 miles of range per hour on my wall connector at 48A. Not such a benefit for $500 plus install.
Now, if you compare to old tech like my 2016 X, it’s huge. There, the 14-50 gives 25 mph for range versus 44 mph on the wall connector. BUT - that’s because the old S and X cars had a 72A on board charger available, so it’s pushing way more power.
Seems like the charging is just way more efficient today. Were I driving a newer gen car only, I would stick with 14-50.
I thought others have recommended waiting a week or two on the PPF, so the paint can cure a bit more.
Assuming this is a new one, it would have just gotten painted, at most, 10 days ago.
Sorry, that’s just not right about inventory cars being “rejected”. My inventory car was an unmatched car that had just been made in Fremont and had 4 miles of range. Uncle Elon actually spoke about this at some point when they were having ramp up quality issues in the Y. I will have to find the quote.
The only real reason not to go for inventory is, depending on when you ordered originally, you will be paying $500-$1,500 more for the same config and any applicable transport fee. Many folks on here have bought inventory and are super happy with them.

Here she is! Was originally scheduled to pick up tomorrow 6/20 but with the heavy rains forecasted for the Atlanta area tomorrow, I decided to stop by the SC early this morning to see if the car arrived and inspect before the rain came through. I knew it would be tough to inspect in the rain. While I was there at about 9am this morning, a delivery specialist asked if I needed any help and I told her I was inspecting so that I could have a quick pick up tomorrow. She said the earliest they could do was 5pm which wouldn’t have worked for me, so I told her keep my 6/20 appointment. The car was dirty and still had delivery packaging materials on it. The panel gaps and paint were flawless. I left 30 mins later and once I got home I got the notice to sign the lending/financing agreement.
On the agreement, I had some confusion on the amounts so I called the 1888 number and they clarified and since I mentioned that I saw the car earlier the lady said I should be able to pick up today. Fast forward, the got the car prepped for pick up today at noon and it went very smooth. I am happy with the quality and most of the other Ys I saw on the lot were flawless as well.
As I was waiting for the temp tag, I saw a white model S Plaid getting delivered. Turns out it was the first plaid in the south east getting delivered. It was a nice couple with their about 2 year old picking it up and I joked with them that they now had no excuse on ever being late. It was a beautiful car!
As I drove home, I did hear a couple rattles that I will need to figure out once the rain stops. Overall, I’m very happy and despite the lack of communication it has still been the best delivery I have taken. My last car was a BMW that I custom ordered (8-10weeks) but the haggling on the price and financing experience were much more anxiety inducing than this Tesla experience
thank you guys for keeping me informed and entertained while I waited for my Y. I hope those of you waiting get yours soon and enjoy it like those of us who have taken delivery. It is worth it!

Completely random and probably covered elsewhere in some other thread, but…
You can upgrade a MYLR OTA to go from 4.8s to 4.2s 0-60 for $2,000 after you take delivery. Not great value compared to MYP, but anyone considering that?

Did it a week after delivery. Not necessary… but… the my smile when I punch it would say it is totally worth it
