Finally after waiting for almost 3 months I drove in to the local SC and asked them that it was going to be 3 months and I still don't have a VIN. They looked around for about 10 mins and said we have a RED with White/Black do you want it. My original config was Blue on Black with 19 Wheels. I figured it was worth an ask to see the car. They walked me to it and I took some pictures. Against my wife's demand not to get a white Interior (She does not trust me) I said YES. I loved it in the first look. Perfect combo. The delivery guy was really great and got the paperwork done in 30 mins and the car was ready. Keeping in mind that I already drive a model X I did not ask any questions (my bad. I will get to it in a sec). The car was in really great shape. None of the defects I read about. Paint great, Cleaning great, no gaps and nothing falling off. In and out I would say in 45mins.
Here is what I think they should improve keeping in mind that I understand the contact less delivery etc due to covid. They should spend at least 15 mins standing far away explaining the differences and features of a Model Y. They should not just say "your car is ready and the keys are near the center console". I am not picking it up from service. I am buying a new damm 50k+ car. At least give me some courtesy after making me wait almost 3 months. Well not their fault. I should have asked questions and its a Tesla. I was buying technology not luxury (learned that after buying a 100k+ X). You can call me stupid but here are all the things I learned after parking the car in my garage and here are the things I am trying to google for HELP.
What I know that I did not before.
The roof glass was frosted but will still burn you in hot sun.
When you open the door from inside it acts like you are opening an emergency door at a walmart back side.
This car has a Sentry mode which actually works. (I have a 17 X)
This car has a WIRELESS CHARGER FOR MY PHONE. Finally but only on the drivers side. Did not even know that it was an option.
It took me 2 full mins to find the glove box button / on screen button. I mean I looked everywhere.
What I am still waiting to figure out.
Do you change the cabin air filter same way as an Model X or is it any easier.
What other service do you do on a Model Y other than filters and 12v battery.
My X charges faster from my Tesla Wall mount charger (100AMPS) than this Y (is that normal)
Why can't I login to YouTube with my gmail.
Is the AM/FM streaming or is it an actual radio
Is there a USB port other than the front which is connected to the wireless charger.
I am pretty sure more to come but I think my wife is going to be happy if I can do the discovery before she asks any questions. See I like to behave like the know it all. Attached are some pictures.
