Short story. Was told The Good Ship Venus would be delivered today instead of picking up tomorrow. Said 1200-1400. OK Whatever.
At 11:15 got a text telling me it was on the way, I would get another text when it was near. Then at 1207 I got a text that said it was here. Looked outside and yup, they were correct. No one in sight. No sign, no nuthin, just an incredibly beautiful car. Text said open Tesla app and it would unlock. Then it said it might take 2 minutes. 20 minutes later I am lighting up the phone. It diasppeared off the Tesla app. Tesla app now locked up. Just like the car. Finally got someone on the phone going thru "chat" on Tesla page. Heard a honk. Success! 2 card keys in black folder in console. Can't see them, it's black in there. Delete Tesla app from phone, reload. All good. Introduce other cards and phones.
You know what? I DON'T CARE! It's HERE!
OBTW, while waiting, and dodging traffic in the street (I asked for delivery in back, but...), I went over the car inch by inch. Absolutely effing perfect in every way. I can't find a blemish. Went through the car bumper to bumper, tracks to the stack, inside and out. (Can;t confirm USB thing, I can't see it in the glare out there and I am out of time). And the red paint is much brighter than my 2020 brighter. Looks almost like the Chevy Red of old (my favorite).
To all the FUDI mongers, please go somewhere and micturate along a given length of woven sisal. This car is showroom perfect.
Thanks to all the long suffering readers who have been along for this ride. And to all of you waiting, waiting, wondering...
I hope every one of you gets a notice that your car is outside right now and you receive as perfect a car as I have.
I'll be back in a few days...
