Did they tell you by when you'll be getting those mising parts?
Did they give you a written note about the missing items?
Did they allow you to inspect before paper work?
If yes, how much approx time they give you for the inspection?
For pre-paper work inspection do they allow you to inspect interior or only exterior?
Do they allow you to test drive during pre-paper work inspection?
I am planning to pay cash, do you know whether they accept personal or cashier check? Sorry for so many questions, keep us posted if you've any furher observation...I've mid May order with Nov 4-24 ETA, MSLR/Red/Black/19/FSD. enjoy the new car.
I’m missing everything from all mats to trunk shelf, trunk covers and plate holder. They said it’s noted and they’ll be shipped to my house. Others have mentioned having to go to the SC to pick them up. I’ll keep submitting service appointments periodically until I get them. Have winter rubber in the front and back for now.
No and the comment was we don’t put things like that in writing. That was a few days later when I called and got some random rep.
You can take a reasonable amount of time to inspect hassle free. Interior and exterior. They aren’t going to let you test drive it. You have a day to log into the app and make a service appointment for anything needing fixing. I’m sure you have a few days but use the 24 hour rule to set an appointment up. Once set up, you can keep updating it if you find more. Highly recommend setting an appointment up the next day. You can add to it or cancel. If it’s super busy and you’re going on like an hour of inspection which could be kind of annoying, they may nudge you to finish up. They pride themselves on 5-10 minute turnarounds for many folks paralyzed by the new car. Just be aware they do their pre inspection now, miss things but also some reps dig in on what’s “to spec” or not on things like gaps. Just deal with it after through the service appointment and those people. You’re not going to not accept delivery 1) because you won’t find anything that bad and anything you do they’re going to fix and 2) you just wont because they’ll shrug, your car will be taken by someone else that day, you’ll lose your deposit and you’re back to the end of the line. So do a cursory full car go over, have them note any major issues, discuss leaving it or making an appointment, and do a forensic go over when you’re home.
There is no paperwork. You hand them your cashiers check. Your documents are online under your account/manage your car. Where they are for you now. I heard some will accept (maybe all?) personal checks. Cashier is just as easy, better for everyone, and takes 5 minutes in the bank. They hand you a temporary registration. That’s the extent of “paperwork“.
If you have questions they’ll answer. Just know no matter how many forums you belong to or how many videos you’ve watched or how many times you’ve read the manual, that day it all goes out the window other than the basic intuitive stuff. You’ll be a little overwhelmed. Take it to a parking lot somewhere close and mess around with setting up your app and phone. Profile settings. Mess around with the theater and music stuff. Change out the hard drive if you bought a different one. Format it. Etc etc. Also know you’ll think this or that isn’t working and almost every time it’s because you forgot something you thought you knew like a button on or off or the way something works where you missed one little key point. After a few days or a week it all start falling into place. You’ll watch a video again and catch what you missed. Or the manual or someone here will school you up with an aha moment answer. Good luck.
