Thanks for the head's up! I may give that a shot. It would be easier for me to take delivery on Wednesday if it's there. Good luck with delivery!!Joey,
Joey D:
FYI, my service advisor called this evening to advise my vehicle is on location in Devon and I can likely take delivery tomorrow afternoon. You might want to call your SC tomorrow morning to see if your vehicle is on location too.

Though we are expecting on and off heavy T-Storms in our area today and tomorrow...which should be letting up on Thursday. So I'll probably just wait until Thursday to prevent taking delivery in the rain where it will be harder to inspect.
Lol..if I do get a call from them requesting earlier delivery....my patients will truly be tested.
The only thing I do not like about the current process so far is that the app (and some texts) from Tesla ask that I pay the full balance prior to delivery date of the vehicle to "avoid delays.". It's simply not right to ask for the balance to be paid before I've had a chance to inspect the actual vehicle. After inquiring I was assured that I can complete payment on site at the delivery appoint...so that's all good. However, I think the standard process should be to pay the balance after inspection and signing off on the agreements...not before.
I just arrived to the service center and I was able to open the car before even checking in. So I’m about to go through the checklist but yes I agree that’s asking to be paid before you’ve seen the vehicle is offputting.
I just used the one in this subgroup for MS:

Picked up MSLR yesterday at the Raleigh SC. Smooth pickup overall. Absolutely slammed with that end of quarter sales push. Couple of issues with the car, inside the "fabric" covering the yoke wasn't completely secured on the back and a couple scuff marks here and there on the exterior which were fixed on the spot by a guy roaming the lot with a buffer hah! Biggest issue though was the rear hatch lid was slightly out of spec on one side. Has a slight overhang…they took it to the back, water tested it and said the glass has to come out to fully fix. Since I had a 200mile drive back, I accepted delivery and made a SC appt in Charlotte before I left the lot.
Similar experience in Paramus NJ yesterday. They were slammed! I have one obvious door fitment issue and a slight alignment issue on the hatch lid. Also made an appt to address. I made the appt after I left the lot, but prior to 100 miles being driven (as instructed by service rep on site.)
Picked up my first ev yesterday at Tesla LBC. Build date is 6/23 and confirmed it has HW4. The only issue I could spot is a little bit of condensation in one of the tail lights. Everything else seems to check out and crossing fingers for a trouble-free ownership experience.
I actually find myself driving more defensively than usual just because great power, great responsibility. At first I was insisting on a steering wheel, but a recent demo drive with yoke convinced me this is stylistically, looks and functionality wise, the right decision for my automotive needs. No regrets.
I'm mechanically sympathetic w/ all my vehicles so will continue to hang around to gather more tips from the experienced T crew here.
Thanks for the awesome content!

For those who used a referral link for $1,000 + 3 months free FSD, when did you get the money (and the FSD subscription)?
My delivery advisor confirmed the referral was on my purchase, and said the $1,000 would be sent out as a refund check. I assume it takes them a few days/weeks to process both.

Catch my MSP yesterday.
Much better condition than I dared to wish.
Much better (very much) than when i got my M3P.
Good, paintjob and no scratches.
The hood / frunk could have had a little better alignment but nothing really disturbing.

I encourage you to read this.
My DIY info on realigning the frunk, front fenders, and front bumper for a Model S Refresh
In case it helps anyone that wants to do their own adjustment of the panel gaps in the front of a Refresh, here's a couple videos I made after figuring out how to do it myself. It's a tedious, but simple process, to get everything to line up. I prefer to to do those types on projects myself, so...

Particularly if it's not leaking, you might want to balance the opportunity for a less-than-excellent outcome (my situation) with how much the overhang bothers you. Maybe try fiddling with the rubber bumpers under the deck lid for better fit.

Haven't seen this thread before. Thanks!
Hmm, I suspect I'm going to be chasing Tesla for this.
I presume you haven't gotten an FSD build yet as it's a HW4 vehicle? Wonder if we'll get FSD before the 3 month trial runs out.
Hi, I am new to the group and wondering what your paint code is for the dark blue metallic?
