International Centre delivery experiences

[Alby]

Got mine yesterday and was a great experience. The found me 15 minutes or so after my appointment. Showed me the car and got started on paperwork. It was at 51% and I wanted it to 90% for the drive back to Ottawa, so needed to wait 40 minutes for the supercharger.

Paperwork went smoothly. No major issues with the car. A little scuff on the center console, but that is all.

Drive back was fun and surreal. EAP kicked in after 25k, so that helped with the stop-and-go.

Tried the auto lane change, and took some getting used to it. EAP has had a few false alarms, but hopefully it is learning (or I am).

From all the videos I've seen, with EAP engaged - one simply signals the direction to change lanes with the left stock. Car checks sensors and then performs the lane change when it's safe to do so. Kind of like the driving test instructor's series of events .

Tried that. Maybe I'll have to find an excuse to go for a longer drive

Today is the day I pick up my Model 3! 798 days of waiting ends at my 5:30pm appointment.

 

[Insilin]

I'm already starting to see more Model 3s around. Someone in the same area as me (High Park) has one. It's great to see them showing up in Toronto.

Loving the car so far

go into the autosteer settings. There are two options, one to enable auto steer and another to enable auto lane change.

Picked up mine yesterday. 5:30 Appointment, signed the papers around 6PM, and then waited almost an hour and half before they brought my car around. Took about 2 hours to get the car, not the smoothest process, but not as bad as some other people though.

Car came charged at 89%, I was actually surprised about this one. Didn't find any major fit issues or scratches, although I think the charge port is not completely flush, but we're talking 1mm now, I'll ask about it when I go for my first service. Car drives like a dream! Autopilot kicked in after 50km, and driving home was a blast. Auto-lane change makes driving so smooth and easy.

One big thing I noticed for myself, and it might just be only for me. I ended up getting a pretty big headache from the new car smell (paint fumes?). When I got home I plugged it in, rolled the windows down and had the climate control running all night. Significantly less smells this morning which was really nice, and woke up to a fully (90%) charged car.

I have it on, it just didn't change lanes after I put on the indicator. Maybe conditions weren't right.

Thanks

I find that it doesn't change lanes unless you press all the way down, when you press the indicator halfway and it does the flashes only 3 times, it just stays in the lane.

At the IC, a little delayed. No big deal. Lots of coffee and food. Very happy atmosphere. Everything is done just waiting for car and a fun drive back to Ottawa.

If you press halfway and hold it, it will do the lane change. You just need to hold it until you've passed the line or it might abort and return to the original lane. Normally in my car it takes 7 to 8 audible clicks of the turn signal to change a lane, depending on speed, direction of road, etc.

I'm finding I'm getting a big headache too, maybe it's the new car smell, or maybe it's the acceleration or a combination of both. I've changed the acceleration to "chill" to hopefully help me take it easy.

I had a head splitting headache when I got home after being in the car for an hour, my wife was fine though. Much much better this morning when I got into the car after I aired it out last night.

I think it's just the fumes from production sitting in the car for so long that's causing me problems, I had the same problem with a pillow I bought a few years ago, and after I aired it out for a day or two, no problems.

Got my car this morning, had an appointment for 9:45, but showed up at 9:00 just in case of any issues. Was whisked away at 9:30 to start the process and was done around 10:00. Spent some time going over car and did have some minor scuffs that they addressed on site, as well my bumper paint is not a great match so they will be scheduling me in at the service centre. Interesting to find out they have preemptively shipped hundreds of rear bumpers to the service centres as they are aware of the white paint problem... Was told they aren't allowed to switch the parts prior to me taking delivery in Canada which I'm not sure I believe but there you go.

Overall very smooth process, hopefully they are learning.

Spoke with Tesla service about my bumper and turns out the guy helping me at delivery was lying when he told me about the bumpers that were shipped up. My car has to go to a body shop to have the bumper repainted. Scheduled in for this Monday, when the delivery person was supposed to do that for me. Not too impressed with that part of delivery, but hopefully once I'm past these issues it's smooth sailing... Fingers crossed.

Got my car today, appointment was at 9:45am. Delivery was super smooth, on my way after 45 minutes. No rushing just everything was done. Now am sitting at work waiting to drive it again.
