Follow up on our delivery of our Model 3 LR, with Midnight Silver Metallic, 19inch wheels, Black interior, no FSD.
Got a VIN assigned on 01/28/22. I don't know exactly when the car was manufactured. The inside door sticker just says "1/22". VIN is F165xxx.
Went to pick up the car at 6PM in Fremont. Had a hard time figuring out where to go! They just gave us the address of the building and a stall number, but it is a massive complex, with lots of parking lots and gates. We couldn't find the correct parking lot, and it was quite a maze, and probably took us at least 20 minutes to find the correct location. After stopping and asking a few different security guards where to go, we finally found the lot. Maybe all of this is easier to navigate in the daylight, but it seemed like Tesla could have given better instructions on how to get to the lot, or at least had better signage. Anyway - just a funny story now - just wanted to leave this as something to look out for - for anyone planning a trip to the Fremont factory for a pickup.
The car seemed perfectly fine at the lot in the dark. We had to agree to accept the car before we could get inside - so we just did an external evaluation. Drove it home, and the next morning had the opportunity to inspect it closely. We used one of the standard checklists and found the car nearly flawless, as far as we can tell. The only thing I noticed was that there was no wiper fluid in the reservoir. No big deal, as I had some already in the garage.
