Hey guys delivery day update.
Finally picked up our Tesla Model Y7 white/black/tow/19inwheels after almost 4months wait! (116 days to be exact)
Delivery was scheduled for 12pm, but I had work commitments and only made it out there at 1pm! Given the traumatic purchase/wait process we took to get here, all I could think of on the way there is Tesla giving away our car. I definitely need therapy after this process.
We got there and to our surprise there was nothing contactless about the process at all. We were escorted inside, had to wait about 20mins for a delivery agent to connect with us. It didn’t help that it was around lunch I guess.
Nice delivery guy came out and told us the car had just been unloaded off the truck and the detailing team hadn’t got to it! We waited an extra 20-30mins, worked out as the baby needed to be fed.
They then pulled the car out front, where to my surprise they asked me to look at it first before doing any other paperwork, signing any agreements or making a payment (we hadn’t completed any steps on the site). I know some people reported being rushed and not being able to do a full walkthrough before taking delivery. I guess we lucked out and could have even installed accessories if we wanted to.
Build Quality was great. Nothing serious could be found, a couple of gaps towards the lower part of the bumper molding that looked wider than I expected, but the service tech came out and we compared them to other cars parked and they were within reason. There was a small scratch on a door handle which was polished by the team. I went through a checklist and happy to report all checked out. 235XXX VIN with bio mode, no PPF, No mudflaps.
After inspection we went back inside, and signed all the paperwork, got our keys, set up our app. it was very reminiscent of the dealer experience since there was a lot time spent with an agent and paperwork to complete (ps this is my first vehicle purchase in PA).
Drive home was great. Having driven the Kona EV to the delivery center I was quickly appreciative of how much roomier the model Y is. Got the car home to our city home, and now trying to reorganize the garage to make it fit better.
To be honest I haven’t had the time to explore the dashboard and other features yet, but with a storm fast approaching I am more concerned about it staying out of the inclement weather. Hopefully tomorrow will be better weather and I can put the accessories on.
thank you to all the other members who have stuck through this process with us. It has not been easy 116days! I hope all of you get to this point and move on to explore and share other experiences.
I can’t promise that I will stick on this thread, but I will sure be watching it and offering support when I can.
. It was nearly perfect too! One tiny paint chip I opened a ticket for.
Just so hard to understand!
