just took delivery of an AWD
Sept 2019 build
Car is incredible, better than I expected in most every way.
Really no issues with the car. All gaps seemed fine to me. Found 1 small half a fingernail size area with no paint near the front fender. Had that noted for future touch up but did not bother me.
Inside rubber Seals on the doors seem a little sloppy but think frameless doors are just like that as I compared some of the other cars in the lot and they looked the same or worse in those areas.
All functions seem to be working perfectly.
Pickup was a bit disorganized, started out good but the advisor assigned went to get the plates for my car after I inspected it and never returned
Guess he had another delivery to tend to
Anyway after about 40 minutes of flux it was sorted and I was on my way.
I am supposed to get 2 free years supercharging but see no note of that on my account or car. App shows 2000 free miles. If that does not get sorted I would be a bit upset but still trust it will.
Been to a supercharger twice already. Once to top off at pickup (car only had half battery) and once today near my house. Waiting to get a wall connector installed at home hopefully will be just a few more days.
Waiting on the electrician.
Didn’t even bother trickle charging in the meantime as their is a supercharger 5 min from my house that never seems to be full.
Supercharging is easier than I expected
Car handles amazingly and is a joy to drive.
Can take corners at great speed with ease, have to tell myself to take it easy just for tire life consideration not safety.
AP and auto steer (I do not have FSD) is incredible, really going to improve my highway commute.
I like it so much that if FSD further improves I could see myself springing for it in the next calendar year. Right now the feature set seems too lacking for the cost.
Punching the accelerator entering a highway is ridiculously fun. Minor regret I did not hold out for a white stealth p3d- to appear but wanted to get the state rebate which ends this month. Car really is fast enough, any faster would likely just result in tickets.
Seats are super comfortable and love the adjustment ability.
Couple of great features I enjoy are having the mirrors auto fold when I am at home and the easy access to raise the steering wheel when I am exiting/entering.
The backup camera is great and love how it and the forward and side monitors give me a distance of how much space I have.
The constant beeps are quite annoying especially when pulling into my garage.
I am amazed how the lack of a speedometer straight ahead does not bother me. Very easy to see speed and I already feel I know how to control most everything from the main screen.
The control wheels on the steering wheel are the best I have ever used.
When driving I love how it shows me cars to the front and sides but does a poor job of picking up cars to left and right that are just behind me in my blind spots. The car does have some limited sight lines and if the monitor picked them up better that wouldn’t be an issue at all.
Is cool you can turn on the rear backup cam at any point when driving and is good for checking the blind spots but not super convenient in practice.
The front windshield view is so clear and spacious of course.
Car feels a little dark inside driving at night especially on the upper dash.
The aero wheels I have never liked but in person they bother me less than in photos
I still plan on removing the hubcaps, hopefully tomorrow my kit from Tesla arrives I will do so.
Navigation maps are great
The tech in this car feels light years ahead of any car I have driven. Love all of it
Phone key is the ultimate convenience.
Door opening from outside and inside are much better than I feared.
Even the slacker radio talked poorly about by so many, I love it! Maybe not as good a sound as other sources but the fidelity is still better than what I am used to in a car and for someone used to fm or my own playlists it is great and free (at least for now)
The arcade games and toy box are a bit of letdown (online reviews make them sound more enjoyable than they are) but I did not buy the car for those features and look forward to YouTube with v10 to pass the time when supercharging.
Walking away I still check the app to see if the car locks as it seems to take awhile and I get nervous so need to get used to that over time I guess.
One issue I have is at home (I have the car set for no sentry mode at home and work) the climate does not turn off
It does elsewhere but at home I need to go to the app and turn it off
Ran the ac by accident for a few hours the first day due to this
Other concern/issue: in my garage I cannot pickup from the car my home WiFi signal
From my phone I can so a little worried it may be an issue with the WiFi in the car. It gets LTE in my garage is that enough for updates or anything else I need WiFi for. No WiFi at my work outside either so not sure a solution if needed.
Overall I think I did a little too much pre research about the car as some of the stuff I thought would be an issue are not for me and some of the accessories I got in anticipation or thought I would be getting I really don’t need.
Still cannot believe I no longer have to go to a gas station, I was filling up twice per week!
Any day now I will have a gas pump basically in my garage and wake up with a full tank daily!
Luxurious, high tech, sporty and practical all in one.
Anyone on the fence, buy this car it is amazing!!!
