OK, drove over to the Service Centre and glad I did. After waiting 15 minutes, spoke to someone who couldn't really help me. She said she was new and said she could find someone who has more experience who may be able to help. I said yes please!
I finally spoke to someone who knew what they were talking about - a breath of fresh air given my recent experience with Tesla the past few months. The SA was able to answer all my questions. Here's the skinny:
- The car was manufactured on Apr 14;
- The car is actually on site up the street in their offsite parking lot;
- The car was rejected by another customer because they declared bankruptcy and their financing fell through (this explains the rapid match to my account last night);
- He actually drove to the offsite lot to verify the options on the car for me; I asked him if I could go with him but he said no
- The car is a perfect match as far as my specs go.
- No damage reported on the car and he didn't see any. He said it looked fine other than the fact that it was dirty.
- All season tires, matrix headlights, new tail lights and charge port are all on the car.
- Tilting screen is not
They had a MS LR in the showroom that was the exact same spec as mine but with no tilt screen and different colour. We sat in it and he reminded me that the screen only tilts 11 degrees. No doubt it would be a nice feature to have but I don't think not having it is something that would bother me when I'm driving.
So right now I'm thinking I should take the car. A reminder that in Canada, a luxury tax kicks in for deliveries on Sept 1 or later. I'd be pretty upset if I waited for the tilt screen and didn't get the car until Sept - that decision could cost me another $6,200!
And I'd have the car for the summer - which would be great. Only downside is I haven't sold my old MS yet - was hoping to not be saddled with two cars at the same time but oh well. Maybe selling it now rather than the summer would be better as far as the quantity of interested buyers are concerned.
Thoughts? If I'm missing something please chime in. Otherwise I'm going to schedule pickup for next Thursday
