NorCal/EastBay: Did y'all get home delivery as an option? On order I was told that not available for me and I need to shlep to Corte Madera. Which is fine I s'pose but my wife is going to make me stop at the mall and shop to offset my car :)

I live in Oakland and housing prices are now $1300/sqft (for 0.09 acres) in my neighborhood so it's definitely not the rampant Oakland car thefts of yesteryear :)
 
Is it normal to have access to your car through the app before taking delivery? My appt. is 3 hours away, but my app is now showing the car controls (set up phone key - controls - climate - location, etc)
No, you will not have access until your appointment time. Then you need to accept delivery in the app by clicking a button. After a few minutes you should have full access to the car in the app and you can set up the phone key, etc. If you are seeing it early, someone messed up and put the wrong time in

I just checked in my model 3and confirmed that with the iPhone 13 pro max you canā€™t use the wireless charger due to the larger camera bump.
Try putting something behind it to make contact between the back and the pad: Picture a case that makes the bump flush. I think the problem is that you have an air gap, and most Qi chargers will go through a case. If you don't want to use a case, try some other material to eliminate that gap. Or the problem could be that the phone is so big that its "power spot" isn't lining up with the pad's and then you are probably SOL
 
So my deliver was schedule for tomorrow. Got a phone call this morning at 9am they told me they can deliver early today before 7pm. Got all excited, and gladly accepted. Just 30 minutes ago the service center called me again, stating while they were detailing the car, they found a color imperfection, so they will send it to a body shop for color correction, and my delivery is moved to Next Thursday. Here goes my ruined weekend. I was about to sell my car to Carmax today, guess it will have to sometime next week then.

I really hope this works when I get my car or else Iā€™m going to be really sad. I just got my 13 Pro Max a couple hours ago..

I have my iPhone 13 pro max with case. Maybe I need to get a thicker case. I use apples case.

Congrats! Weā€™ve been on the same timeline so iā€™m hopeful iā€™ll get mine today too.

I have the iPhone 13 Pro (not the Max) and it charges in the car.

The position of the iPhone on the charger seems to be picky -- maybe due to the larger and thicker camera lenses.

On my first attempt the phone didn't start to charge so I reached down and wiggled it a bit and charging kicked in. It seemed to be about 50 - 50 on whether charging kicked in or I needed to wiggle the phone a bit.
