THE LONG RANGER
LOL, spell check, no cool or coil suspension. Tesla decided make the X with SAS only.
Well we picked up our MX yesterday here in Portland! We spent nearly three hours looking over everything and yes there were a few build issues. There is a piece of material on the steering wheel that wasn't trimmed properly but this ultimately won't matter. The passenger side FWD trim is not aligned properly. Gasket on driver side FWD along the top doesn't lay flat like the other side. The heated steering wheel doesn't heat! DS thinks it's not a matter of being disconnected. He thinks it is the completely incorrect steering wheel. He noted everything and took photos. HUGE props to everyone involved in the delivery checklist! We'd have missed these things otherwise.
We took delivery but know the car will have to go back in for some service to address these issues and any others we find. I tested out the heated seats and they all get nice and warm but I did notice that some seats get warmer on the seat than on the back and other seats get warmer on the back and not the seat. No idea if this is normal or not. We ordered a thermal camera though and it will be here tomorrow.
All in all we of course LOVE the car. I've never had anything so nice before so I waver between happiness and terror.

Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory. Estimated Delivery Range: December 20, 2016 - December 27, 2016. Looks like Santa is working hard
It sounded like the steering wheel doesn't have whatever 'insides' it needs for heating. It's weird though because we have the control to turn it on and it does light up. The steering wheel just never gets warm. In the photo you can maybe see the material that wasn't trimmed properly. It's above the volume control on the left.
Sadly, the trim where the front door meets the FWD is badly misaligned. Why the hell can't they get this stuff right at this point? Do they just not care? Every time I see this, I have serious second thoughts about going through with this. Sure, they can fix it, but what else might be wrong that you can't see?
EDIT: Sorry, not trying to be a debbie downer, but it is concerning

We ordered the coil suspension which was an option in April when the order was placed. Come October, Tesla changed the X to air suspension only.

Just had an update on "MyTesla" requiring me to accept Terms and Condtions. After accepting, MyTesla updated the delivery date range to: 12/24-1/7. Not sure if it really means anything.
Congrats!! I passed by the SC this morning while your car was sitting outside.
It looks great. I ordered the same car, which is in transit.
It got the tan seats and Figured Ash Wood.

Congrats on your delivery! I'm picking mine up tomorrow. Do you happen to have a link to the checklist you used?
Yeah, if I'm not mistaken the heated/non-heated wheels look identical, so they might have picked up the wrong one and put it on, or this wheel was in the wrong 'pile'. But at least it sounds easy to fix! And that should also fix that issue about the plastic sticking up if they really do change the wheel out.
