Hello all - So I had a delivery appointment this past Saturday and the car looked great. When I “took delivery” on the app and opened the car though, there were a few cosmetic issues, lint on the door cloth, smudges, some minor but visible red paint smudges on the exterior (could see at certain angles only, but visible) and a few other issues…I told them that this was not something I could live with especially when the front windshield had smudges, residue, burnt marks at certain angles….
They called the Factory delivery team, 3 folks showed up, looked at the issue and indicated that it will take them a day to fix it but they will fix it if I can wait for a day. I told them that’s no problem and we set an appointment for Sunday…
I show up on Sunday and it’s as PERFECT a car as a Tesla could ever get!! Everything was fixed…some very minor interior issues remain…and I absolutely LOVE it!
some initial thoughts after driving it sparingly for the past few days:
1. The Plaid speed and power is AMAZING…I was forever in the camp that I don’t need to necessarily get the thrill of an additional second and it’s definitely not worth another $20k/$30k…but I was wrong! I LOVE the sheer power of this car and just regular, slight acceleration gets this car going and is fun! Trust me, if you can afford Plaid, get it…you will be glad…
2. Handling is absolutely solid…I have not even had a chance to do launch mode yet, just regular straight line acceleration on a less busy road was enough to prove how this car commands the road..I was 100 plus at the blink of an eye and the car was driving casually, confidently with no issues
3. Definitely very quiet as compared to my Model Y LR…the silence feels premium!
4. Music and sound at all volumes is amazing..streaming tidal makes a difference too I would imagine…but it’s incredible..
5. The seats are just as comfortable as my Model Y…I wouldn’t say more comfortable, they look nicer but just as comfortable seats…
6. Air suspension is awesome…the car floats at crazy speeds and bumps don’t bother at all
7. And I was on the fence about a red car, but I am sure glad I got the red…looks stunning!
