Based on my experience, if Tesla does this again and you are in the Bay Area, still waiting for a delivery date for your car and getting anxious, and you are not 100% locked in to your specific configuration, I strongly recommend going to this “delivery event”. My wife and I went with an open mind: there were several color combinations that we were willing to seriously consider. Since all the cars are Long Range batteries and include the PUP, my only requirements were that it be Dual Motor and not black, blue, or white. There was more than one car at the event that I would have accepted. As it turned out, two hours after I arrived, I went home on Sunday with a car very close to my configured reservation; I enthusiastically changed to white seats and 19” wheels. I am thrilled with it!
This morning I thoroughly washed and detailed the car. I had inspected it closely yesterday at the event, and today I discovered one tiny flaw that I had missed; a 1 cm long, 2mm deep scratch in the interior plastic piece at the base of the B pillar. Because it’s not just a scuff mark, and I know that I didn’t make it, I went to the Burlingame Service Center today, showed it to them, and they agreed to replace the plastic piece. No questions asked. It’s in an area of the interior that I doubt I will ever damage, and while it certainly isn’t obvious at all, I will always know it is there. So it will be fixed. Perfect!
Other than that, the car is flawless as near as I can tell.
