Well folks, meet the "Roci", my very own spaceship from the future
. Pickup was pretty smooth for the most part. The Tesla associate helping me had to pick her jaw off the floor when she saw my order date of April, 2021 and the price I'd locked in. She was super excited about it and the fact that this was by far the oldest order she's made a delivery on
.
Car is pretty great and we're really enjoying it. Blew my kids' minds with the surprise reveal when we picked them up at school in this car!
I still don't think the fit and finish from Tesla is top notch but I'm also not someone to obsess over things and historically, my cars have very rarely been in car washes. Some of my minor complaints/observations were:
- A few minor scratches in paint. They tried to buff it out quickly but it didn't help much
- A couple of small "lumps" in paint at some parts of the vehicle
- Probably my biggest annoyance with Teslas... The alignment issues and large gaps around the taillights are still a problem for Tesla. I was initially a bit meh about my car till I looked at the MYs around me and realized I had one of the "good" ones
- My frunk hood is slightly skewed to the right. Very minor but still there if you look for it. Fortunately it is flush with the front bumper which is the issue that tends to look worse and more noticable on some cars.
Just pointing these out because it was on my mind and something I noticed. But none of it detracts from enjoying the car and we're really enjoying it so far.
Hope everyone else gets their cars soon as well! Now I gotta go obsess over all the accessories I didn't buy ahead of time but now realize I need
