I'm betting it will not be the reason you keep it

I called Tesla
"All new Model S go through inspections that take 2-3 days.", they told me.
That implies my car is here Thursday-ish. I asked about them moving me to a Saturday night delivery and they said they'll get back to me through text today because they couldn't reach the team in charge of this. I told them I'd take delivery of a dirty car but they were very adamant about this inspection. Now I'm debating when to call back without looking like an annoying customer!
90 minutes, no text so far.
Not sure if this inspection is company wide or unique to my delivery center in Scottsdale. I'm also not sure if I should appreciate it (How cool, they're making sure the cars look good before delivery!!) or be worried (What's wrong that they're checking every car?) about this.

My previous vehicle was a Lexus and had this feature. No joke I didn’t even realize it until you just said something. If anything, that thing would screw me up sometimes & detect movement on a feeder road instead... it might have helped me here and there but mainly a false sense of security. The Tesla cam has a wide enough perspective to see anyway. I personally wouldn’t forego the safest, most advanced panty dropping ass machine in existence just bc it doesn’t solve an issue that’s not really there to begin with

Just read the MT piece and it seems spot on. They are complaining about the same things we all complain about.
I'm not really sure how they did their value determination. Compared to a Lambo? An S Class? An ETron GT? There is really nothing like it from which to derive relative value.

I think my main concern was with front side collision. Say you are at a stop light and some drunk driver blows through a red. Merc, BMW and Lexus will stop the car so you don’t get hit as you pull into the intersection. I think Tesla will only do this on autopilot.
Hi there.
i'm late to the game. Don't knwo if you know about the club....but you, sir....are gonna be shoe-horned right in.
IT. IS. GETTING. CROWDED.
i hate you.
congrats
I would call before they close today. Maybe an hour or so. That is close to "end of day" without seeming like you are hounding them.I called Tesla and "All new Model S go through inspections that take 2-3 days.", they told me.

Even if I get a different person on the phone, I don't want that team to know me.

With the MS Plaid, I see a lot of drivers launching it from a red light. This may be a very dangerous thing to do since you run the risk of getting t-boned by some jerkoff running a red light going in the other direction. Quite often, I wait a sec or two when the light turns green; you can still do this with the MS Plaid and completely destroy any car off the line anyway, so why not give them the jump? It's safer.
This is just sound advice whether you are punching it or driving like a granny. Never be the first car in the intersection.
I can't get over how sexy the refresh S is. It looks incredible just sitting in the parking lot next to my office. The 21's just complete the look and add to the intimidation factor IMHO.View attachment 709151
Passed a fellow red Model S on the way to work this morning. His car saw mine, and the look on its face was like
I did not get anything from you and I really wanted to join the club!

It is not just Plaid. I normally end up multiple car lengths ahead of anyone else leaving a light with me by the time I am up to speed. It has been that way since my very first P85.With the MS Plaid, I see a lot of drivers launching it from a red light.

I just realized the risk and adopted my bike mentality where I think everyone is out to get me. I'll head first out into the intersection but you can bet my head is on a swivel when I do.

Perhaps they've had issues specific to inverters that have caused some pain, and want to emphasize the issue w/r/t inverters?
Just to shut up the Escort, does someone make an adapter that regulates the 12V socket to really be 12V?

Favor to ask the group - can someone please post a picture of the PPF strip on the rear quarter panel / wheel arch that comes from the factory?
I'm still contemplating whether to hold off for 10 days till I go out of town or to go in right away but get it back with just a few days till I leave it... and the back quarter panel is where I'm most concerned, so seeing the coverage on a picture would be very helpful! alternatively may go with the suggestion of track wrap!
I recall someone had posted a picture a while ago, but for the life of me I can't find it...
Thanks in advance!
