Picked up MYLR W/B/7/19” today. Other than the rain was a pretty good experience. Car looked really great, no big gaps, nothing missing, loose, etc. (and I verified no water leakage
). Only found a section of smudges/scrapes on the head liner above the passenger seat, but the SA cleaned it up. Car came with rear impact ppf and front mud flaps
.
I was surprised that the color on the side view cameras was tinted noticeably…the red car next to mine looked orange in the camera view on the screen when I put the turn signal on. Is that normal? The SA thought it was the lighting since it was a gloomy rainy day. Was same for both sides. Other cameras were all clearer and showed truer colors.
Observations:
I had setup plaid in my profile’s wallet prior, but the delivery payment made me set that up again before I could pay. But payment went through ok.
In PA the owner needs to get their own PA inspection because Tesla isn’t a PA inspection station. I have 10 days to get that done. That would have been good to know prior to delivery day, I could have already made an appointment somewhere to get that setup.
I was able to get into the car and look everything over before pressing “pay” and accepting delivery in the app. Just didn’t get the keys and registration until all that was completed.
My SA said there was no 7 days/100 miles for submitting claims. “No, we don’t do that, we want to get everything noted before it leaves the lot.” Which makes zero sense to me since you have to drive it to know if something is weird at speed. I took it for a lap around the parking lot and haven’t noticed anything driving home and around town today, so I think I’m good, but that was different than other Delivery Centers.
My SA was not a great one, his texts were always just odd, wrong, and/or rushed. Other SAs and the manager that I spoke to throughout the process were much more pleasant and knowledgeable, so if I was concerned or if I find something in the next few days I’ll just go to the manager with it.
Overall extremely happy with the car and definitley didn’t feel rushed. I could have been in and out in 30 minutes if I wanted to, but I took closer to an hour. Driving it today has been an absolute thrill. Keep catching myself smiling every time it presses me back into my seat.
Wish everyone else a similar or better experience soon! It is worth the wait!
