Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[stevej119]

I drove my new LR that I picked up on Friday some more over the weekend. Getting tint now. Very happy with it. Again, minor trunk misalignment. I don’t feel like letting them mess with it. I didn’t feel any vibration when I got it up to 80mph. It did come with FSD 3 month trial which when I asked the tesla dealer about he said I didn’t get it but of course I did. Car looks awesome and I’m very happy with it and the 25K price drop of whatever it has been the last year.

When you initially placed your order, did you use a referral for discount and FSD trial? That’s what I did, and I gladly gave that up for the FUSC transfer. Then I was pleasantly surprised when I saw under “specs” in my app that I had Full Self Driving Caoability.

Took delivery on Saturday morning the 25th in Dedham, MA. The car was outside on the Supercharger, and they told me to go sit in it and check it out. I found one minor paint issue near the left rear wheel well, and no other defects interior or exterior. Overall a quick and satisfactory experience.
An hour before leaving for my appointment, I put my 2020 Model S on the Lexington Supercharger for one last free top-off before the transfer. The FUSC transfer went through that afternoon, according to my app.
Now all I have to do is sell my old Model S; probably to a local dealer...

It's encouraging to hear about these good delivery experiences and satisfactory vehicles. Thanks for sharing, guys.

New delivery owners, when the car is off and AC is not working do you hear a humming noise from the central console?

I did hear it the first morning i went in the garage. I googled it and turned off sentry at home and now i don’t hear it. Not sure if it’s making the noise when I’m not home.

Not sure if this is the same noise. But my noise was heard from outside the vehicle and sounded like it was coming from one side near the frunk. I didn’t go in the car to hear it though so maybe.

Could this be the air suspension compressor?

We believe with @TheBurgerKing it's cabin temp sensor. I hear it in every state, in the morning when I get the car or after I park etc...

Maybe I’ll turn on sentry again and see where and if i hear it again

Who's still waiting for a VIN number?

I ordered 11/3. Nothing yet.

Thanks. This is when you are in the driver seat , it comes from central console under the screen. A light hum so you only hear it when it's quite around. I can bet it was totally quite when I got the car and started to do it.

Ordered 10/29 and still not VIN. Bay Area delivery for a MS Ultra Red.

I used 500 dollar self referral credit.

So I arrived a little early at the store so that I can take a little time to look at my car before taking delivery

Overall it seems reasonably well put together on the outside except for this gap:

You guys think this is something fixable with some adjustments or is something welded in an off position?

I think they can do some adjusting but if it doesn’t bother you it’s probably not that noticeable. I think I only noticed mine because I’m on this forum.

What does the other side look like? You got a pic of the whole back end?

Liftgate adjustment DIY info on 2023 refresh

My liftgate was badly misaligned from the factory in every possible direction, and my Service Center refused to fix the issue, along with most other build quality issues with my car. I am going to have to accept that this $100K car just does not come with a bumper to bumper factory warranty. So...

Well the other side is definitely closer. I can stick my pinky between the bottom of the trunk and the quarter panel on the left, but not on the right

 

[Grumble]

I wonder if it's just that left rear quarter panel that has to be pulled in a bit. If you look where I circled in yellow, it looks like that panel is not quite aligned with the line on the tail light. If that gets pulled in a bit, I think it will close that gap and look a lot better.

The car will make various noises while parked so nothing to worry about unless there are error messages on the screen.
