Just got the text to schedule delivery...!

[chris_w]

Our White, LR awd, BKL interior, Gemini wheeled MY is inbound to Burbank and they want to schedule a "touchless delivery experience".

If anyone has already had this experience can you please share you thoughts and what to look for as in "areas of concern".

Thanks

Just got my vin and mvpa. Since I’m in Texas, I have to fully fund first. Trying to hunt down my lender during covid is not going to be easy.

Anyone know if CA requires full payment before delivery is scheduled? I'm at the submit final payment stage...

I used the insurance card for our other car.

Black interior. Once I've picked it up I'm immediately dropping it off at a detailer for XPEL paint protection and Opti-coat ceramic coating. I'll post pics when I get that back on 6/3.

Yes they do. You'll get an email explaining the process, but it's sort of confusing.

First they ask you to sign a contract, but when I asked how, they said that it isn't necessary since I'm paying cash.

They they said I have to click "Accept Delivery" after I made the final payment via ACH. After I did that today, they said I didn't have to click "Accept Delivery".

They said that I can unlock the car with the app when I get to the Delivery Center since there won't be anyone there. When I pointed out that the car isn't on my app, they said don't worry someone will be there to unlock for you if you show your ID.

We'll see how it goes tomorrow when I pick it up. Fingers crossed.

What are you having wrapped? Windows tinting? If I can ask ... cost?
I’m in So Cal and expect delivery soon and am looking for good company to do wrap!
Thanks

Sorry for perhaps an ignorant question, but, from what I understand wrap is to protect the paint? Why not use the car as is, then if paint starts getting bad wrap it at that point (like a fresh coat of paint)? Or better yet re-paint it at a shop that does better job than tesla?

The Tesla paint quality and quality control is apparently pretty poor, and the wrap is to protect the front of the vehicle from paint damage due to road debris.

Our delivery was scheduled for next week (6/3) but then got a call yesterday late afternoon asking if we could re-schedule to 5/30 Sat. Will post pics when we get it.

Not to be picky, but there is nothing at all wrong with the paint. It's all about how the paint is applied, and of course the quality control (or lack thereof) that follows. When the Model 3 was first released, it was pretty bad. But it's gotten a lot better.

I think most folks get wraps because they want a color change. Most get PPF to protect against rocks, tree sap, UV fading etc., and not because of a poor paint job.

When did you place your order?

 

[chris_w]

We got ours and relieved to say no issues - car is all but perfect with nice even panel gaps. Only slight issue is the rear hatch, one side is a tad higher than the other by a little bit, I can probably adjust the rubber bumpers to get it perfect.

Question for y'all:

How long was it from the time the MVPA showed up in your account until you got the delivery call/text?

I am taking delivery on Thursday and have a Friday appointment to get the XPEL wrap. I'm not wrapping it because of poor paint quality, I am wrapping it to protect my investment. I don't want to see small dings and road rash and have my wife asking me whether it can be taken to the body shop, I want to pay up front and hopefully forget about it for many years. I've never had a wrap or a ceramic coating before but once I researched it I feel it is exactly what we need for our new Y. It will not just protect it from road rash and fingernail or key scratches, it will greatly reduce rain spotting and make hand-washing much easier.
