Haha! It's going to take a sec for me to remember how to close a door.

Curious why didn’t you wait to pick up after battery day? I’m in the same shoes and delayed my delivery due to FOMO.

Getting ready to duck but are the cars different after battery day?
Mainly asking as I have an S due hopefully next week.
Doubtful but there will likely be updates we will be seeing starting next year ... just my guess, nobody really knows

I just took delivery today of a MS LR+, even though battery day is just a few days away. BUT, it's within the 7-day window, so if Tesla announces a 1000-mile battery and 2.0 sec 0-60 and free Supercharging and free FSD all for the base Model S, then I'll give the car back to Tesla and wait a year to buy one. Not bloody likely!

I'm surprised GA allows car sales on Sunday. PA and MD don't (it's actually a good day to go looking without being attacked by sales staff.)
Yep, noticeably faster. Beautiful vehicle.
Had two issues, rear hatch alignment, they fixed that in about 10 minutes and now it's perfect. Also a couple paint issues, one tick below the clear, not worth fixing, but another one that needs to be corrected, it's not terrible but it's in a very noticeable location (unbelievable how they missed it at the factory). They offered to attempt it on delivery day but nah, it's gonna require some sanding, blending, and clearing that panel. They said as long as a certified Tesla shop does the work it they would cover it under warranty and I've already set that up locally so we'll see how that goes. Otherwise, best paint I've seen on a Tesla, got lucky. Much better than my X.
Totally enjoying the new ride. Should have got the S to begin with.

Hmmm. My new LR+ is also Revision H. Is there any info regarding differences?
I took delivery of an S LR+ Saturday. Near perfect car. One little area on right rear bumper looks like a scuff but I think it is clear coat mistake. Did not see that until I got home. I think it will buff out. The little triangular window near the passenger side mirror is not installed properly and leaks air. I have scheduled mobile service to come fix that. Other than that, the car is beautiful.
I'm having a hard time learning how to drive a Tesla though. I can't get used to the regen braking. It feels like I am slamming on the brakes. I am trying to be smooth. I feel like a kid again learning how to drive all over again. There needs to be a training wheels mode for old farts like me. Ha! I wish the low regen option was still available.

Congrats! You can still turn down regen ... I did that for a while but have since turned it back to the default, should extend brake life a bit ... it does take some getting used to. Driving the car never gets old, so fun
