Ordered a Model Y, delivery date came in less than a week (4-8 weeks original estimate). Good or bad thing??. Because this particular vehicle was not ready for delivery. It may have been rejected already and that's why it was available so quickly, just a thought. Within 1 minute we noticed major marks and scratches (not scuffs, we are talking marks and scratches) on the white seats, the rear seat was out of alignment, (known issue on many Model Y's), hilariously the 'R' was missing from DUAL MOTOR badge in the rear !! The floor manager said no big deal, we could bring it back later and they would change out the seats. We said no thank you. We'll come back another day for another vehicle.
How these obvious defects were not found at the dealership before we arrive, I have no idea.
We never even got to checking the list of other fit and finish issues that are reported all over youtube videos.
Background: have bought many models of new cars through the years, Porsche, Ford, BMW, VW. I'm not even picky when it comes to small things. But had not encountered such noticeable and major defects on any other new vehicle. So our first experience at Tesla delivery was a fail. We may need to switch our delivery dealership because this particular one was not impressive. Here's to hoping our next Tesla delivery experience is a success
