Hey Y'all!
So after 532 days of waiting, I finally received my Model Y! It's definitely a sight to behold! Delivery was efficient. Waited for about 5 minutes and someone came to lead me to sign some papers and hand over the bank draft.
They offered to go through an orientation with the car, but I’ve read the manual and watched the vids prior to arrival and didn’t want to waste their time going over things I knew and wanted to save that time to run through my comprehensive checklist instead.
From start to finish I spent like 2 hours there, with maybe an hour and half of going through my checklist. Tim was inputting all my concerns into his tablet and he was VERY patient and understanding. I was surprised he spent all that time with me! Super awesome guy! He even spotted some things and added it to his tablet without me mentioning/asking him. Super solid rep!
While I’m sure most would have probably rejected this car, I will give them a chance to see if they can fix the items I discovered. The list being as follows:
- Rear left door button broken (can’t open door from inside)
- Small chip on underside of panoramic glass room
- Left tail light scratched
- Small paint chips to underside of frunk, right door and rear headlight
- Left front door/rear view mirror panel gap
- Right corner headlight panel sticks out
- Windshield is a bit off centered to the left (it’s flush with the glass roof on the right side...so i dunno, I asked them to take a look at it...no harm)
- Rear right seat mis-aligned with middle
- Window Trim scratch
- Rear right tail light condensation persists after hours of being in sun
- Dirty rear headliner
- Driver seat rear panel scratched
- Clothes hook doesn’t retract
Most things seem minor and fixable, or I will overlook it if they say “it’s within spec.” But the fist three and ESPECIALLY the rear left door button seemed like a gross oversight on their part. Earliest service appointment I could book was 2.5 weeks from now, so I escalated with my advisor and will wait and see if they can bump my appointment up.
I will say, I highly recommend bringing someone along as an extra set of eyes, or at least to scribe for you. I found using the Inspect T app was slow, and tedious. (Kept crashing on me on Android). I found it difficult to be specific on certain areas of the car like the chip on the underside of the panoramic glass roof. It was easier to just have my friend write the problems down on a printed checklist and snap pictures in chronological order. Overall I would say Toronto was efficient and had their s*** together. VIN is in my signature below. Build date of 08/20 and I have the new door buttons but the old RED only tailights.
Wish y’all the best of luck on your orders/deliveries!
Cheers!
