Wow that’s a lot of paint damage. You’d think they park some of these at a Walmart before delivery the way some come out. I’d advise getting Tesla to take it to a certified body shop, who will probably find even more stuff that needs fixing.

You can do Plaid payment on delivery day.
I'm about to place an order for plaid for close to $150K. Seems the quality contorl issues have gone up. You can get fully loaded EQS for that price. Bit hard to digest for $150K car, we have to go through these issues. Any thoughts Gentlemen? I have MSLR on order for June delivery, I had Model S 60-D for three years when it came out. The build quality of that car is not bad other than rubbers seals around the doors, windshield and top.
Thanks! no part of me wants to pay for a car I’ve never seen.
I have owned 2 Model S since 2015. I have never been concerned about their 'build quality' and I think there are lots of people who feel the same. I have been annoyed by Tesla customer service quite a bit over the years. One does have to remember that there's probably a grouping factor that brings us here and that members on TMC are a minority of Tesla owners. Tesla sells hundreds of thousands of cars each year and only a few thousand are members here.

I got mine done at AP3 as well... Jon there has matching paint you need to fill in the scratches and then put the ppf on top. depending on how bad yours are, they may not even be visible after filling in and ppf'ing on top.
Mine is good, you can always reject it if it's not up to your standards. If you don't care about speed or the charging network for the eqs being garbage; the eqs has a cool interior. I thought about getting the eqs, but the plaid is just so much fun.
When are we going to be able to play the Witcher 3 in this thing?
lol I think it was said to be capable of playing Witcher 3 as in its possible. It will never happen

Exact same here.First day of my EDD and my delivery window pushed back from 11/30-12-14 to 12/3-12/14.
I'm keeping my avatar on this site with the 'N' in hopes that I get a 2022 VIN!
I think that even TMC members here who've had more than their fair share of issues almost all still love the car and the issues get / are getting resolved. My attitude going to delivery day was that I would have a very low tolerance for issues at delivery given the $ and long wait. The straw for me was being one of the last to take delivery of an MF vin and seeing NF vins get assigned as I awaited delivery. Fortunately Tesla made it easy for me...my plaid had been retrofitted with an LR trunk lid (plaid emblem and spoiler hadn't been applied), with tail lights that look like some 3rd grader used Crazy Glue to put them on, and as a bonus also had a dent. No way I was taking delivery of that bastard and having to sit through weeks of BS body shop back and forth. I'm away for the holidays for three weeks, so I just told them to put me on hold until after the NY. I think zero probability I get an MF vin after Jan 1. I don't think even Tesla can deliver an MF vin after Jan 1 without discounting. In short, have no hesitation about rejecting a car that isn't deserving of your $...help make Tesla learn how to deliver flawless cars.
remember: most persons who have no issues at delivery? Dont create accounts on the internet to report such an experience...
My SA said The MS I’m supposed to pick up on Friday comes with Pirelli PZ4 tires. These are the summer tires right?

Do they ever deliver the Plaids with all season tires?

When I went through my ordeal in August, getting my summers swapped to AS, the Tesla service rep indicated that all Plaids came with the Pirelli summers. I have no first hand information though. Hoping all Plaid owners will weigh in.
my SA said Long Ranges with 19's now all come with all season/are the only S's that now come with all seasons.
Allegedly.

Nope. Not true. Took delivery in South Texas with a Long Range and 19s and summer tires.
That would seem true, per the manual at least. For a Plaid, Tesla only lists summer tires as an in their documentation. LR have both summer and all season details.
