So picked up my new model Y today. No issues found, car is immaculate. A happy ending to my journey. Summary of experience and lessons learned below:
-Initial order 10/09. Black/black, Gemini, autopilot.
-First car delivery, 11/2. Came in with a sizable dent, that Tesla called out, before I arrived. Offered to fix, but I wasn’t comfortable doing that. Rejected the car.
-had new vin on 11/3, build date 11/7, Tesla gave priority.
-initial trade in value expired, had to update mileage to get updated quote. New trade quote was same as first no change which was good.
-second car initially scheduled to arrive 11/23. Day before got notice delivery moved out 5 days to 11/28 due to shipping delay.
-picked up 11/28, car was perfect, no issues, was very impressed. Less than 30 minutes including trade, great experience.
stuff I ordered ahead of time:
- Tesla charger, matte screen protector, tesmanian full Mat set, Tesla tire repair kit, Gemini bolt and center covers.
when I picked up, I liked the Gemini wheel covers so much I didn’t take them off as planned. They looked way better than the pictures online. Was really surprised. Will keep the bolt covers but not planning to use at this point.
overall experience very positive. Tesla handled the dent issue very well and with complete transparency.
absolutely love driving the car, it is very impressive, extremely happy with my decision. Making up reasons to go to store so I can drive it more lol
