I picked up my car this morning - the Seattle SC did a great job, and was very accommodating to our needs. My wife knew we bought the car but not that we were receiving it now - she thought it was going to be in a few months. My DS - Lexi - made sure we had the bow on the car and everything, and everyone was very nice.
I'll try and write something longer, but a few quick notes:
1. Overall, the car was in great condition. The only two things we could see were:
a. Near the channel/pipe from the rear view mirror to the top back of the windshield, there was a little bit of "glue"- residue alongside it. It kind of seemed like the channel used to be in the location and was moved. They put it on the due bill as it didn't immediately come off.
b. The driver side FWD is about 5mm off-center with the the driver's door - the handles don't quite line up, and the door doesn't 100% line up. They also put it on the due bill. The other side is perfect.
2. No real issues opening and closing the doors - they've worked pretty much perfectly so far. The only oddity is that in our two car garage, when I removed the other car the X got a bit confused and thought something was obstructing the FWD, but it sorted itself out.
3. Autopilot and lane change worked great today, no problem whatsoever.
Overall, it's a great car, and the look on my wife's face when she realized it was our car (I tricked her and told her we were going to the Tesla Social) was worth the 125K it cost us (with tax and everything before any credits). It really feels different than other cars I've driven before, and definitely has more pep than our 2008 Prius
The only things that are a bit odd is how you can't open the driver side door from the fob itself (unless you have auto open) or how the windows don't auto close when you lock the car. My hope is they'll fix this in a software update, but those are overall small niggles.
As to the obligatory questions:
- We did not get a sunshade. They said it was a Tesla corporate thing and they weren't even keeping track of it and will just send it to our house whenever it comes in.
- No parcel shelf cover or anything like that, they didn't know when one would be there.
- I forgot to ask about the accessory hitch and I didn't get it in the car itself, so have to email my DS about that.
@ohmman I saw you posted about the hitch and that you saw the car was rated to tow up to 3500 even without the towing package. How did you find this out? Did you get the accessory hitch?
