After 2-1/2 months, I finally got to pick up my new MY yesterday! I had to take an Uber for over two hours to get to the Delivery Center in Columbus Oh.
I arrived about 45-minutes early. There were 3 available SAs there. One of them immediately started to help me through the process. We did all the paperwork right there in the showroom (90% of it was dealing with temp plates). He then went in the back and turned on my Tesla phone app.
After that was all done he brought my car out to the parking area in front. He offered to walk me though anything and everything. I asked a few questions and then said I just want to do my inspection. A very nice, calm and full human process!
The only thing that I could find was some drops of washer fluid in the frunk and the two USB-C outlets for the back seat didn't work with my phone and USB-A to USB-C adapter. The SA wiped up the fluid drips and tried his phone and my cable on the back plugs and no good for him either. He thought it could be my adapter and if not put in a ticket to Tesla Service.
It was quick and I ended up leaving before my original appointment time!
I had a 140 mile ride home. I was able to use the auto-pilot without too much trouble at all. Generally it is amazing. I didn't like all the reminders to keep tugging the wheel when I'm not driving. I only had one phantom breaking on the highway. An overpass scared it and it quickly went from >70MPH down to ~50MPH. Wow, that's scary!
During the ride I had no trouble with looking at the big screen vs a standard gauge cluster. It is a learning curve for the one-pedal driving once off the highway.
Vin is 2415xx and it includes the Bioweapon filtration! It had PPF installed, but no mud flaps.
Phew!! I am glad this is all over!
Congratulations!!
 
I like the idea of paying after inspecting the car but how does that work with Tesla preferring ACH payment? I’m not financing.

On my first MY I financed through Tesla, but had a hefty down payment. They told me to just bring a Cashiers Check. I did and handed it to them after checking the car. This was at the Mt. Kisco, NY location. They were great and very easy to work with.

Folks have previously been able to just bring a personal check, and they’ll just take down your bank routing number and account number, and process the ACH payment online using Plaid or whatever transaction processing service they use.
 
I drove my car 61 miles after the first time, offer went down $600. Drove 78 miles after the 2nd expiration, offer went down $2k. In 60 days, negative $2600. That's after my original EDD had me going a car in 3 weeks.

It's not all bad, sold privately to AutoNation dealer and actually made an extra few thousand than Tesla originally offered so it worked out for me.

Good luck!
I did the same. Sold to autonation for several thousand over what Tesla was offering.
