Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[EightYears]

For anyone picking up their cars, I created a new delivery checklist: 2022 Model S: Delivery Checklist

I consolidated two checklists from the main delivery thread, and organized them by area of the car so it's easier to go through the car section by section. I personally find this easier than the comprehensive but ad-hoc lists that currently exist

Thanks for this. We pick up today.

Three stops on each side? I only saw two on each side I think… the one on the hatch itself (kinda pointy looking rubber) or the geometric plastic one attached to the car itself. Was there another one somewhere?

Yes, look halfway up the hatch.

Yes, look halfway up the hatch.

I’m…not sure what you’re referring to, sorry. At least I don’t see any adjustment I can make easily? Show all of us the way!

These 3 adjusters work by twisting in and out..

Duhhh... I'm being dim, thank you. Yep. I'll have to give that a go. I've only adjusted 2 and 3 to no avail...

Any downside to home delivery? Does someone driver the car to my house or is it trailered?

Yes... Biggest is you can't open the car and inspect the inside without accepting the car.

Usually car is driven to you.

Would it be worth contacting tesla and requesting dealership delivery?

Thanks for this. We pick up today.

Awesome!!! Enjoy

FYI I just added the "check taillight alignment" to the list, since evidently (1) I didn't know it was a known problem and (2) I have the problem hahahah

Congrats!!!

Maybe different places handle things differently, but I was not able to open the car without accepting it first either, and that was at the factory.

Let me know how that turns out. Debating whether or not to file a ticket with Tesla

How do I schedule multiple service requests? I had done one at the dealer but need to add a few more. It is not obvious to me in the app. ugh.

Didn’t work out.

Ok so my adjusters are wacky, kind of like maybe they did the best they could but no dice. The left side (where the hatch is slightly too high) shows no adjustment possible compared to the right. In addition the hatch is leaving marks on the plastic for some reason. Not sure if this is normal or not.

 

[WilliamG]

But that said it’s not terrible. I’m certainly not letting Tesla do any more crazy adjustments on it for fear they’ll mess something else up. Sorry for the glare but this is how off mine is. Not terrible on the left side, and about spot on on the right. I checked out a bunch at the delivery lot and they were all like this to varying degrees.

You have to insist, and tell them you will reject delivery otherwise. They will tell you that they can't open the car, but of course they can.

I made several trips, met with SA, helping with multiple friend's deliveries, to grease the skids.

Made delivery appt when the store was not busy.

They told me to take all the time I needed, about 90 min.

I would! Bring a checklist...

 

[Hayseed_MS]

Yes, look halfway up the hatch.

I am surprised your comment did not summons @Bill Price ,..

Honestly not sure what I’m looking at. It looks fine to me.

Hi everyone,

Ordered a long range Model S in April 2022. When do you guys think I will get it? I am thinking sometime in early 2023?

I picked up at a SC and I wasn't allowed to open the car to inspect inside before accepting it. I argued for several minutes with them and finally I gave in since they confirmed they'll fix anything I find wrong inside after acceptance. There were some issues on the interior and they did warranty/replace the issues I found for free after accepting.
