Overall, just short of perfect. The delivery experience is contactless - once you "accept delivery" in you app, the car populates there and you use it to find and open the car. Inside there are card keys and documents to be signed and a FedEx envelope. Very easy, and worlds different from the dealership experience.
The car itself - no noticeable external defects. I gave it a careful eyeball inspection, and all panels were aligned with even gaps. Even the problematic passenger side tail light was perfect (although I did see another Model Y in the lot that had the issue). No paint issues at all.
Inside - yes the passenger side back seat was slightly out of line. I'm assuming it's an issue with all/most Model Y's. It's barely noticeable (~3 deg), you'd have to look for it to spot it. I'm leaving it alone. The main issue was the one with the steering wheel being slightly off center. Again, barely noticeable (my wife didn't notice until I pointed it out). I also just noticed the front camera is pointed a bit low - dash cam footage reveals small blockage along the bottom of the frame. Service appointment already scheduled for these two issues.
I had the same experience with my Model 3 last November. I'm either very lucky, or my experience mirrors the majority of Tesla buyers, most of whom don't post about it.
So anyway, meet Blue Bayou, pictured here next to his older brother StormTrooper.
