Delivery Nightmare!
After over 9 months of waiting, today was the big day. I get a text an hour before appointment time with instructions on how to arrive there, make final payment, use my own pen to sign papers inside the car, and drop of the entire envelope in their drop box WITHOUT going in to their building (assuming covid rules here).
As I'm walking up to the car in front of their building, the VERY FIRST thing I notice from a distance is that there appears to be a small bit of white paint hanging down from underneath the front lip of the bumper. I crouch down to inspect and there is a small bit of white transport plastic still stuck underneath and a 2x2 area where the paint is completely gouged out/scraped off from what appears to be loading or unloading from the transport truck. Immediately disappointed. FYI you can't see it unless you crouch down low but no idea how they missed this. I saw it INSTANTLY without even trying.
I look over the rest of the car and it seems good but I can't get inside because I haven't made final payment or accepted delivery. I see 2 keycards in the car but no FOBs. I find a couple of tiny scratches and a tiny nick in one of the door handles and some transport tape residue still on the black outside door trim but the rest of the car looks great.
I had to get an employee from inside to open up the car for me to finish inspection. On this 436 VIN car they still have the worm on the wheel and the guy says every single car that has come in has it but he will note it and check on replacement. I didn't want to argue it much because it is so minor and wouldn't bother me but we all know we've seen at least a few that are perfect so it is definitely a defect.
As for the bumper, they immediately ordered a new one and hope to have it in by Monday if not sooner. They are going to see about the single door handle replacement as well.
Other notes:
I did NOT have a dash grill dent.
The Interior looks great except that the rear door interior panels are still misaligned like everyone else has shown and I'm doubting they can do anything about it until they design a new paenl. It's very minor in my opinion and I wouldn't have really noticed unless I was looking for it so I didn't even mention it.
Driver side mirror seems solid and not shaking like others have reported.
The only waves in the glass I noticed was in the rear window at the very bottom edges and closer to the corners. It's so minor that I didn't mention it and I'm betting most have it. I don't see it being an issue for me since it is just the very bottom edges near corners.
I had an appointment today to drop it off at a shop 4 miles from the dealership to get ppf, coatings and tint done. Thankfully they have been very accommodating and told me as soon as tesla fixes my car I can still drop it off to them and they'll take it immediately.
All in all today was a huge disappointment, especially after all the ordering/delivery date woes we have all dealt with. I wasted 2.5 hours of my day after a 45 minute drive one way. They did NOT have me make final payment and said I can do that as soon as it is all fixed. Wish me luck that I can get it next week! They claim there should not be any issue with color match on the new bumper. Side note: even new bumpers come with the license plate holder already attached

Remember, though, black order in January with 19” is still 8 months (at least). A July order plus 8 months is February. Not saying it’s right…

Yeah, not great. And yes, all rear windows have the same distortion toward the bottom. I find it a little distracting, but not anywhere near as distracting as the random ripples I have in the front windshield, right in my line of sight. Not looking forward to my impending windshield replacement... Ugh. At least it might make it easier to swap out the speaker grille due to the dent!
Anyway, I hope they fix up your car quickly. It doesn't sound like anything is insurmountable, that's for sure.
Good call out, I didn't realize that I could have an easy direct line of access. When I was going through this process in 2018 I remember not having much luck or having very long wait on hold when calling their support. Definitely will be using their pool fo SAs for any future inquiries. Not trying to bug them though, I'd rather have my SA in my graces trying to find me a match.

Reverse SHOULD be The Doors Backdoor man?

MS LR, Black/black/21", Ordered 3/20/21, RN 1146.
In past vehicles it was behind the cover in the back of the front left wheel well.
My build is as base and "low profit" as it can get... Default white color and black interior. I ordered in December and got a Sept estimated date which if it holds, does seem like a "priority" in a sense to other dates people have been getting.

My point was anything that plugs into a NEMA 14-50 is limited to 40amps. If what you plug into the NEMA 14-50 is further limited, than it is. Plugging a wall connector into a NEMA 14-50 (I know, it's not necessary, but some still do this) results in a max of 40amps despite the connector's max with a 60amp breaker of 48amps.

This set is triple tinted black in 21x9.5 and 21x11.

Was thinking the same, but like @travwill said CA taxes are high so you'd need to up the price 15%-20% just to recoup from shrunken man parts. Will someone buy at that price? Hard to say, but it is possible…
One positive is this is evidence they may not be prioritizing new higher priced orders over pre-existing orders. I have the same config except with red paint. Ordered Jan 28, EDD Nov 11 - Dec 1.

Lol that's the whole point of the experiment. If I get a VIN for the latest order first, Tesla will sure be hearing from me

Yes. I saw someone was even selling covers for the plugs to keep them clean after you unplug them but I can't seem to find them now.
Still no car, one week since the last delivery date disaster, car paid, so Tesla has no incentive to fix the issues with the car and deliver. Emails to the Store Manager and anyone at Tesla remain unresponded. So my question to the folks here is, what are my next steps?
The driver side mirror! I didn't see others mentioned but mine definitely shakes like crazy on highway... Gotta have that fixed too. I also noticed this on my Model Y as well but less severe.Delivery Nightmare!

I'm not sure installation is included. The instructions say this...
the credit for all property placed in service at each location is generally the smaller of 30% of the property’s cost or $30,000.

They just replaced my driver mirror for the shake yesterday. This one does it too. Going back in a few minutes for them to look at it again.
