I can appreciate wanting the latest and greatest. But Elon says “Elon things”. And that 18 months could be 24+ months. And when that 2 years comes, AI5 might only be in the Cybertcab. AI5 is certainly going to have a high BOM, so Elon is going to put it into things that give hime the most ROI, that’s probably not the S.

Not sure why anyone is looking forward to another HW revision.
What exactly has HW4 done, besides higher def cameras and taking away summon?
(Happy with HW3)

I just finished trolling the delivery center lot and found my car. It's fresh off transport and has yet to be detailed. It was awesome seeing it in person! After taking it all in and admiring the color, peeking in the windows, and whatnot, I spent some time inspecting the build: glass, seals, hood, headlights, hatch alignment, and tail lights all look good—the door alignment, too, with just one exception. The driver-side rear door sticks out a bit on the bottom. What do you guys think?

Nice! Door looks good to me. Are you gonna let them wash in some swirl marks?

Thanks on the door, it's not perfect, but I worry they'll just screw it up if I have them mess with it. As for "washing"
I really wish they'd just hand it over but I don't think that'll happen. I guess I can ask?

Looks awesome! I’ll be on the lookout for my twin whenever I’m in the Dallas area!
Just ask them not to wash it and either diy or take it to a detailer for clay-bar/wax, they should relish the opportunityThanks on the door, it's not perfect, but I worry they'll just screw it up if I have them mess with it. As for "washing"

Normal on the left rear door. Unless you want the SvC to beat on the hinges, just live with it.
No seat wrinkles? No scrapes under the bumper?

Thank you for the assessment on the door, I’d rather have the slight misalignment than beat up hinges, I only noticed because I was looking for problems.
I didn’t notice any seat wrinkles, and just looked at the interior shots and don’t see any there. Will check bumper Saturday at delivery,
Thanks for the tips on things to check. I was super impressed with the headlights/taillights and glass/windshield alignment especially.
I think I got a good one, a slightly misaligned rear door can be overlooked so long as there’s not wind noise or a leak.
Dealing with that is better than having service center damage your car.
Looks fantastic. Outside looks near-perfect, more than good enough and sooooo desirable...

I say go for it, someone probably backed out during the sales process is all.
Seats wrinkle as soon as you sit in them - don’t look for problems, just enjoy the hell out of it. Everything else looks great and I love that color
I don’t have a MSP LS delivery update but I do have my Atomic wheels and tsportline lugs now.
I’m looking forward to seeing the pics of those installed.
