Totally agree the drive would be shorter. However, I have a friend working at the Tesla in STL and the flights to STL was $82 compared to $451 to Kansas.
Upon pick up I had the holiday update pre-downloaded and all I had to do was install it.
Worth the drive if you ask me.
How do You address the scratches and some minor issues with the white leather seats? Mine is pretty noticeable

Tesla innovates faster than other car companies and doesn't wait for model year changes to introduce new features. It's their main strength. It also means you'll never have the latest and greatest unless you buy new every few months. Just remember whatever car you get it's better than all the ones before it.
I was just talking about this with a friend. Traditional auto manufacturers change their style every couple years to get people to buy "the latest" and the seem to spend little on tech. I'm glad Tesla has destroyed this concept with OTA updates and avoiding typical dealership buying experience. While there are manufacturing flaws at times (not sure it's even more than today's ICE vehicles), it's still a much better end product and buying experience for most. Looking at the Ford Lightning, some dealers have notified their customers they are adding a markup 10k-30k, insane. This is why I went with a Tesla, can't wait to take delivery.
Agreed, I bought multiple cars in the past and I can't remember any of them from traditional dealership took less than 3 hours. Last year, I helped my dad buying a Honda, took close to six freaking hours. My Tesla, took 15 minutes. Drove next to the car, inspect the car, accept delivery, drove out. DONE.
Got it yesterday!!!
To recap: Blue, black interior, standard wheels and no FSD, ordered on 11/08.
They noticed a small scratch on one of the back panels and they will change it, they told us to use the app to mark any other thing we notice and they should be able to service everything at the same appointment. We noticed some scratches on the front hood, I think they can disappear with some polish, but I will let them do it since it needs serviced anyway. Everything else seems good: no gaps, wireless phone charging works etc.
VIN ends with 1384XX and we have the Intel processor.

So now we have confirmation that at least some VINs after 1380XX will have the Intel processor. Hopefully not too long before AMD Ryzen is being reported on all new deliveries.

M3LR Midnight Silver/Black/18"/no FSD
OD: 11/16/21
EDD #1: 2/15 - 3/15 (this is a guess, I don't remember the exact dates)
EDD #2: 1/27 - 2/24 (current)
Ordered it in Florida, got my registration changed to CA once I had a home address to use there. Hoping that it delivers on the earlier side of the window since I'm moving on Jan 2nd and won't have a car until it arrives.

A heads up for anyone in the Bay Area who wants a car RIGHT NOW. I just released a blue/white/no FSD/AWD with the Intel MCU back into inventory. They say the car is ready to go at Corte Madera so if you check the site right now and are able to snag it you could have a car by tonight!

The car I just released which had the Intel MCU has a build date of Dec 22 and a vin of 137xxx. Maybe cars built after the 22nd have the AMD MCU but that's just a guess.
Mine got delivered today and has the Rzyen CPU
. What do I need to check for the battery? Need to do a detailed walk through nowSimilar threads
