It is really hard to capture on a pic, so I guess that tells you how small it is. Of course I can’t unsee it. Going to accept it and rectify later.
You sound just like my brother.
I had to see the chip on his car for myself, and I kid you not. It's like the size of a needle head. I was literally yelling at him in the garage. I'm sure the neighbors were probably thinking a chicken was running loose or something.
But in reality, for someone who wouldn't know about the chip, they wouldn't be able to tell there is a chip even if they went looking. 🙄

Edit: just saw your pickup post. That scuff is ummm well noticeable. You are fully just in being concerned.
 
Just casually checked my Tesla account and discovered that after 60 days my loan approval has expired. No notification or anything, of course Grrrr. Re-submitted and got approved again but my delivery date slipped from Dec-Jan to Jan-Feb. Grrrrrrrr
Little too late to tell you this now but I think most people here would recommend you switch to cash and once you get a VIN, call Tesla and change to financing. That way, you won't lose your spot in line and you won't have to keep getting credit hits while you wait until you have a VIN in hand.

I completed my profile with cash selected knowing full well I'm going to finance once I get my VIN. That was over 80 days ago and I should be getting a VIN soon based on my EDD.
 
Start Rant

just feeling like posting a message because i cannot do anything else. Tesla customer non-service is beyond imagination to me. I ordered 6/17 and had to reject a delivery on 09/12. I tried to take delivery as the repaired in 2 week and still had bumper and tire damaged at delivery. My SA since has give me 4-5 dates of possible VIN and none of them turned out to be true.

They certainly has man power as when i try to chat i get real person but only issue is that real person also see same thing as me and useless.

I am beyond word as a 885 billion company cannot provide any info with any accuracy to their customer. I should have canceled my order and bought some other car but the problem is it is hard to find car right now. I sold my car in June because of all the misinformation Tesla sales guy and their system has been giving and they don't give a xxxx

End of Rant.

Feeling little better.
I'm so sorry to hear that you had to reject delivery.
More sad to hear you haven't been matched to another VIN yet.

Hoping you get a VIN soon!! ❤

Hmm, do I need to call them to switch to cash? Don't see this option in my profile

It’s been suggested to wait to apply until you get a VIN, so your credit does not keep getting pulled. You have done it already but if you put in cash you can change it after a VIN is assigned.
 
Cross post:

So I ended up taking delivery. In the scheme of things, sure it would have been nice to have a flawless car but these things happen. First available appt. on the app is Nov. 18 so not too stoked about that, but spoke with manager at Irvine who was super empathetic and said he would call the manager over at Santa Ana and see if they could expedite my appt. I had two missed calls from Tesla on my drive home (didn’t connect my blue tooth prior to leaving (Doh!!) but no message was left. I’ll try calling the manager tomorrow assuming I can find his extension and see if there is anyway to get it in to service sooner. There were basically 3 defects, on the same door thankfully, and two of them had touch up paint applied. DW couldn’t find them, so I will say they were minor but I know they are there, so. Also small alignment issue on same door which they said could “tighten up”. Pics below.

Other than that the car is awesome. I loved my M3 SR+, but this car is so much more refined. Quiet (dual pane glass) and very smooth ride. Acceleration effortless and noticeably quicker. Went for a ride down to the beach and along the coast, caught a sunset and ya know? life is good. It is quite an upgrade, for the extra money (and I actually made money on my M3) I get reset to 5 miles (well 37 now), 2.5 more years of warranty, another motor, faster, more spacious and comfortable, power lift gate, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, better sound system, more leg room for my tall daughters (and seats that recline) 110 more miles of range (my 3 was charging to 216 at 100%) new tires, bio-defense mode, wireless chargers, updated center console. Haha did I miss anything?

Only knock I can think of is the rear view mirror is really small to the point of almost useless, but the rear view camera makes it a non-issue. And of course I’m missing my Homelink but will see if I can’t get that installed on my service to get the paint fixed.

Oh and my insurance through Costco Connect somehow went down in price!!

So yeah very happy I decided to take delivery, and hopefully it’ll get resolved soon. Thanks for the support and talking me off the ledge.

You made the right decision on accepting delivery….glad you are enjoying it…

I used the online chat function. I'd check your profile / order status page immediately after they say they've switched you from financing to cash, because in my case they had reset it to where no payment method was specified but it allowed me to select cash. I'm pretty sure if I hadn't caught that it would have delayed my order.
 
Just got my VIN. Didn’t even check my profile. Saw email from Tesla regarding payment.

Same here. VIN!!

OD 7/15, Black/White, 19", no tow, no FSD, who the hell knows how many EDD changes. Stoked!! Time to order accessories. I know everyone asks and I always glance over it but changing my payment from cash to finance can be done by calling my service center? Or is there a specific number for something like this?
