OMG how exciting. I've met him in person and he is such a nice guy. Wow, what a way to be introduced to your new car. Hey welcome to the forum and the Tesla family. Thanks for coming here and sharing your photos and experience.
There happens to be a photographer for the German magazine Bild that was at the Model 3 reveal. He and Franz could have known each other; glad to hear there’s no connection and anyone does have a chance to have a Tesla officer deliver their car! And definitely, welcome to TMC!
I know people can be in different moods etc but I approached him after the semi event, politely asked if I could ask him a question (because I didn’t want to take up his time if he needed to be somewhere else) he said yes or sure and didn’t seem to be in a hurry to go anywhere. But he just looked at his phone the whole time, gave me a very short answer to my question and didn’t seem like he wanted anything to do with me (staring at your phone while “talking” to someone will give them that impression). Anyway that experience made me think less of him. Glad to hear this side of him, and I know being a “celebrity” is a hard thing to deal with (I worked in the entertainment industry and worked with my fair share of celebrities) but you kinda have to be “on” when you are dealing with the public at a event for your company. My experience didn’t make me think less of his work, but it did make me less inclined to frame and hang his artwork I’ve received at different Tesla events. Now if he shows up when my next Tesla is delivered my impression of him might change ...
Great story, thanks for sharing it with the amazing photos! Too bad the delivery wasn't today as it would make a great April fools prank.
Congrats! Are you going to remove the autographed visor and replace it with a regular one so that you can store the signed visor safely? You wouldn't want the SvC or a detailer removing that signature on accident.
He could but would you want to wait until 2028 to get delivery of your vehicle??? How many vehicles can 1 person deliver in 1 day?
