In Memphis at 6pm it’s 96 with a 107 index (was 112) and 57% humidity. The humidity is low for us and that was our only saving grace today. Get those temps with an 80% humidity and it’s brutal. That’s what we call swamp a$$ weather.
Sold mine early too they gave me what I originally paid for my 2019 Toyota Camry! It was too good of a deal to not pass up so I just used my boyfriends car!
But finally have a Delivery date. Hopefully it’s next week June 21st @ 3PM! Ordered 3/18 White/White/Aero/No FSD.
I let my emotions get the best of me and I didn't ask why it was delayed. I'm not sure it would have mattered because as you said they won't provide a straight answer. She was really nice and apologized while calling it a "buzzkill".
Well, it happened. I am now in possession of this beauty. The delivery experience was smoother than I prepared myself for. It was home delivery. Time window was 12-4 and the car arrived at 12 on the dot, so there wasn't much waiting. The driver left right away but he left a note on the driver's window with a QR code to scan to get in touch with a Tesla rep if there was any issue - there was none. No noticeable misalignment, scratches, or dents.
The only blemish I saw was some glue left on the inside of the passenger window. Gonna have to figure out how to get it out. Fingernail scratching wouldn't do it.
The car came 65% charged with 18 miles on the odometer. I noticed the tires are Michelin but have no idea which type of headlights are on. The paint on the hood reflected the glistening cloudy sky - what a scenery! I contemplated getting red paint about a month ago, but decided against the risk of a delay. I'm glad I stuck with white - as I thought, this color magnifies the contour of the whole body. I have not tried charging the car yet - will do at work tomorrow.
It was such a magical moment to see the car lying there waiting for me. It's been a journey. But there's a lot more journey ahead.
Thanks to all of you who've been sharing the waiting experience with me - like it or not, commiseration creates a strong bond, and those who have exchanged banter with me to help distract me from my obsession with the car that wasn't even in production yet. And special thanks to those who have shared the knowledge and experience of taking delivery so I could prepare myself for the rest of the wait and for the delivery.
It was all worth it.
Good luck to those still waiting. Your gratification will be delayed, but it'll be oh so much more rewarding.
Sincerely,

Yeah that’s ridiculous. When taking delivery of an ICE car, it’s customary for the car to come with a full tank of gas at “no cost” (though I figure the finance dept. builds it into the sale price/financing somehow). But for the few dollars of charging, Tesla should at least make that complimentary
You might try a little Goo Gone on a paper towel. It should come right off. Try not to get it on the upholstery.
They’re seriously not giving a full (at least recommended 80%) charge at delivery?
The original poster I was quoting said that his credit card was charged for time the car was supercharging while he was finishing up paperwork at the delivery center on delivery day
It was moved to Friday. He said it’s in NJ at a 3rd party location getting inspected and detailed them it gets driven to the service center for me to pick up.
So you shot the messenger?
. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. I’m picking my car up tomorrow morning and I still won’t believe it until it’s done. I called this afternoon to confirm ‘no issues’ as I was afraid I would be in the same boat as you. One guy posted he flew to pick up his car only to be told there would be a 1 day delay. He had to find lodging for the night. 5 day delay might sound very serious until you consider the backlog of cars to process. Could be minor but have to work it into the schedule. Hope that’s the deal for ya.Good Luck!
You'll be fine. Go home, plug it in and you can learn about the charging part.
I actually felt really bad about how I acted. I didn't necessarily say anything to her but I did drop a bad word. lol The wait hasn't been that bad for me but I let myself believe it was happening Thursday and even made plans for the weekend and because I'm using a family member's car I'll have to change those plans.So you shot the messenger?
Good Luck!
I am glad to see so many people getting their cars. The last few weeks of the quarter are the most fun we see around here.
its a pretty shitty thing for a company to do knowing how far some people are willing to travel to buy a product from them... there are so many things that they can do to make things better for these people but refuse to do any of it...
