We ordered a Model X Plaid on 12/18 and was initially given an EDD of February 11th - March 24th.
Right before the New Year that date was updated to 1/3-1/12. Today I was asked to schedule my delivery for Monday (1/8).
The VIN is a 2023 model year and build date was 12/8/2023.
This afternoon I was down by the delivery center and decided to swing by to see if I could get lucky.
2 ultra red Model X's were parked next to each other. One matched my VIN.
While doing a quick once over, I noticed some issues with the build quality...I'm not sure how worried I should be though.
Here are 4 pictures comparing each side.
The 1st is showing one wheel fender slightly misaligned, while the other side was not.
The 2nd shows the back trunk...one side is tight while the other allows for my entire pinky.
The 3rd shows the back window gap...on both sides I can fit my entire pinky inside the gap.
The 4th is a lower fender view, one of them is clearly misaligned.
After feeling a little uncomfortable, I took a look at the other one parked next to mine and the gaps were no where close.
Questions for the forum:
Do you think this will be considered "in spec"?
Am I over thinking this and it's totally fine?
If I ask for a 2 week delay in my delivery is it likely I'll lose this VIN and be reassigned a different one?
Is this worth denying delivery and asking them to fix it?
Is this worth denying delivery and losing the $250 to order another one?
