Was told I could get a "one day" pass, to avoid sales tax in the outlying state. Figured 1200 miles in the snow is not the best way to break in a pretty new car though.

Deliveries to Denver, December 2019

One week in. I've already messed up the bottom of my car on a speed bump
owww. That must have been some high speed bump. We have a lot of them around here and have Smart Air Suspension with geofencing them on our MS but regular coil suspension and of course no height adjustment on my Model 3 but haven't had any problems driving in my area. Do you have a P model by chance?
P3D- so not the same suspension as P. There's a speed bump in my condo's parking lot that has a gutter running down the middle of it, and the way I'm parked, I sometimes drive perpendicular to that speed bump. I don't think I ever hit that bad angle with my old LEAF (and if I did, I think it would have wreaked the same havoc; I'm pretty sure this thing could take out oil pans too)
When we were in a condo assoc, they put very high speed bumps all around the property. We had Honda Accords then and still even driving slowly over them would bottom out on them. We told the association it was ruining our cars and others complained too. A visitor to our complex with a low sports car like an MB or Miata would really have trouble even coming to visit. Our tires were properly inflated too. Given being faced with angry homeowners with car damage, they hired someone to grind the bumps down. Might see if your complex is responsive. With more cars being EVs no one should want to see battery damage $$$ so might get some of those high speed bumps fixed.

Based on the scuttlebutt regarding volunteers for orientation, the coming weekend is expected to be quite busy.
From weather report bad weather headed to Four Corners area and then eastward. Holiday travel: Winter storm, snow moves from California to Midwest
Owners volunteer to assist new owners with orientation during rush periods. Helps Tesla meet delivery goals and helps new owners get more than 10 min with a delivery specialist.
Volunteers are great during the quarterly rush. One helped us install our phone charger when I took delivery. Saved us time and got us on the road quicker. If I lived closer to the Fremont DC I would be volunteering too. Nice that you do that @Zaxxon.
Ours was scheduled for 28th....then 31st..and as of this very moment the 30th at 3pm
I am back stateside and it sounds like my delivery is still on track for tomorrow at 9:30. Car has been sitting at Tesla for the past 10 days or so.
Took delivery this morning. Everything went very smooth and I could not find any issues with the car. The lady said they were doing 67 deliveries today. Proud owner of a Deep Blue Metallic P3D-
Delivery experience was much better than I anticipated. No issues at all with vehicle. Delivery Associate didnt want to let us test out functions @ first and didnt want to do orientation until after docs, but told her I wasn't paying until inspected. So we went through all functions and everything worked. Got there 2:50pm for 3:00pm and after inspecting, paying and signing docs, walked out @ 4:00pm.
This may have just been at the Park Meadows location, but he said that store sold way more P3D- than any other store in the region.
