Thanks for adding to the checklist of what to look for: also check the steering column! I was suppose to get delivery of my P100D tomorrow from the Seattle center, but the DS called me late today to say it will be delayed (again) . This time he said they found a scratch in the bumper (front?) that required them ordering a new replacement bumper. It pushes the delivery out another 10-14 days! So far they will have had my full cash for almost a month by then! The DS said "they would make it up to me". ... we shall see.

Yes, I agree that they should leave the disabled spots free.
My husband is also a paraplegic (27 years for him). We have a Model S and he is having a hard time transferring in and out on the passenger's side. It is a wider distance from the door to the seat than any of our other cars and there is not much to hold onto. Do you have hand controls? If so, were there any issues installing them? We haven't gotten ours yet, but will do that soon. I think it will be easier for him to get in and out on the driver's side, because he can use the steering wheel to help.
I am picking up the car just now. My order was placed on 7/16. I wanted to defer my pickup until AP2 is made available. I submitted my loan application last Saturday and received the approval last night.
Benjamin at Bemaro Films (www.bemarofilms.com) does awesome work. He literally just finished my Silver MS60. Put 12 hours of meticulous detail into doing the full front wrap (Came to my house to do it too!)

Found out my Tesla won't be delivered in 2016 after all (confirmed order on 11/27). 
Apparently it came out of production a few days ago and looked promising for a December 31st delivery, but then a final quality inspection found something requiring attention, so now they are saying the first week of January. Also means the tax credit will have to wait a year, and even though I'm taking delivery in 2017, the car is still a 2016 since that was when it completed manufacturing (not a huge deal).
Does anyone in Seattle have recommendations on XPEL or 3M? I talked with Imperial Tint & Wrap in Bellevue, but would like some personal recommendations as I heard the most important thing is the workmanship of the installer.

That's what I was worried about. Luckily I finally picked it up yesterday 12/30. Sorry to hear about you having to wait.

I was able to take delivery from the factory so I purchased it in 2016 but won't see it till Tuesday when they drop it off at my house. Little worried about issues doing that but nice to have the tax credit sooner.
Magoo406:
Seeing that you are in Montana they should give you and your family winter jackets like they did for us, a nice touch. Did they say how big the scratch was? They said that they were going to order touchup paint for the one on our rear bumper. Not sure how I feel about that? Part of me says it is a 2ish inch scratch and touchup paint will be okay. The other part of me says we just spent $160,000 (with taxes/doc fee) and they should have it done right like they are doing for you. I guess I will wait to see how good the touchup job does? Is it still noticeable, if so then they should either kick back the amount it will cost to repaint the bumper cover, about $2,000ish based on my experience.
Good Luck.
Thanks for your input....I didn't know the emergency brake automatically sets when you walk away from the car. Is that something from the factory and sets the ebrake no matter what after you walk away from the car or is that a ting in the controls?
Thanks.
Thank for your reply....so much to learn. As Magoo406 pointed out it may be the EBrake setting after leaving the car? I will check it out next time I go out.
The high pitched whine I didn't even notice until almost an hour of driving. Maybe because I had the upgraded audio system turned up learning about Slacker. I just wish when you select Album would mean exactly that. Instead it plays only one or two tracks from the album.
Take Care
Picked up my car today. The car had some coating issues and I had them to clean/polish it 3 times. They have so many cars to be delivered today so they didn't spend much time with me. Looks like they hired people from the street to just get us out of the place.
Now I need help from the group here. Please help:
1). I don't have AP at all right now. I was told that it will be coming soon. I understand AP2 is not fully available yet but AP1 is not included at all.
2). People at the place told me that I shouldn't be using SC as much because it can degrade the performance of the battery. Is it true?
3). While I was waiting for the car to be washed, I spent some time to understand how the service is done. They said that they prefer to send people to service my car. How is that different the Ranger service?
So far, I love the drive/feel of the car. Hoping I can get AP soon.

Hell no! Maybe it was due to the hectic schedule there but this is nonsense. Charging to 100% all the time can degrade the battery, unless of course you have a 60kwh
But tesla won't tell you that.Hell no! Maybe it was due to the hectic schedule there but this is nonsense. Charging to 100% all the time can degrade the battery, unless of course you have a 60kwh
That is what I thought as well. I have a S75 and I have set it to 80% for my daily commute usage. After I explained the same to her, she is still insisting that SC will degrade the battery life. I think Tesla is asking people to stop using SC so they don't need to build more SC centers...

Yea, that's weird. " We put in these SC's all over the world. But don't use them because they damage the car" Huh?

The delivery specialist team really needs to have a giant conference call on this with Tesla executives so they iron the message into all new orders that these functions are disabled. It's getting so prevalent on these forums, Reddit, etc.. What I thought was the norm for Tesla owners (reading the forums) is just not true. A lot of the people ordering Tesla's are too busy to read every fine point and then receive delivery without hearing anything about the software being disabled.
