P Delivery -- Good News Thread

[Laver]

Picking up tomorrow afternoon from Fremont. Been told to expect the contract in the morning. Hoping delivery goes smoothly, I have a ton of errands to run all over town to plenty of time in traffic to fiddle with the new toy!

I'll second a couple of other responses on here. Appointment was right on time, and turnover took about 20 minutes. Most of that was from my inspection. I also did not receive a badge as there were none available.

Did I mention that i absolutely love this car? Felt as tight as a couple of Mercedes I've owned, but NOTHING I've had compares to the acceleration.

This will be addicting...

Not sure if serious... I'm going to assume you're joking.

No...I'm serious. That's what they said.

did you receive the pedals and spoiler installed?

I asked about the de-badging and they indicated that its not an option. They indicated that its imperative that they badge the car.

Where did you pick up that said this? (Chicago area here btw)

Ugh.. I just stopped in there recently to check out some other colors before picking on my final choice. So it seems like they were either giving you attitude or just following a direct order from corporate. I wonder if they get a lot of this because the approval rating for the dual Motor badge was at like 15%...

I'm not sure why they said it, however I received the same info from 2 unrelated Tesla sources. I'm thinking that on Aug 4th...( when I pick my car up ) that if I get there soon enough....I'll plead with them to neither install the badge nor the spoiler as I'm going to be wrapping the car....the same day.

no big deal though....I'm fully aware of how to take the badging off with 0 damage to it. And replace it if necessary. I have the 3M tape that Tesla Uses.

 

[TheLocNar]

Either way. I’ll have them not put it on or my detailed will remove it when he does the PPF. I’ll be dealing with the highland park store. Eventually.

Cool....I'm not giving any details on what my wrap is just yet....I'll do a reveal on TMC once I finish with all of my augments.

SSSHHhhhhh. Don't tell anyone....lol

Where are you getting your wrap? What is the quote like for it? Anything else on that same day? I heard good things about Chicago Auto Pros. Once I get my CU thing figured out, I'll finalize that end with my ISA who just reached out today basically telling me I should just hit submit on the Tesla credit app.

Good luck with the CU.

Anywhoo - applying the wrap myself. Its EXTREMELY easy with a tesla because it has tons of seams. I won't even have to stretch it hardly at all. The Model 3 is a wrappers dream.

Yes. Indeed - Chicago Auto Pros are great. They take a bit longer than anyone else, however they are better than just about anyone else.

I also pick mine up on Friday from Costa Mesa.

Please post and let me know how your experience with Costa Mesa delivery went. I will be picking up my P3D from there on Sunday.

 

[Bruin1996]

so....it really took 5 minutes

Got the first dual motor performance out of the Costa mesa dealership!

Congrats on getting the first P3D from Costa Mesa! How did the delivery experience go for you? Did you do an inspection to check out the car? Did they give you any free Tesla swag?

 

[TualatinEV]

did you receive the pedals and spoiler installed?

I didn't opt for the performance upgrade (breaks, spoiler, pedals). I'm in my 50's now and don't plan on tracking the car (plus I like a more "cushy" ride. Delivery guy I worked with said it was the first performance model delivered in Portland.

 

[Holmern]

Now my page says "The information below will be used to generate your final contract and your final payment amount. Changes after confirmation may affect your delivery date." Does that mean I am getting closer? Can't edit my design.

thanks! it was unreal. felt way too fast for me. went in at 1050....late but not by much. greeters meet you when you enter the sales room, then you sign in and sit down for like 5 minutes before someone calls you. Then they take you to their "showcase" room (i don't know what else to call it). I attached a picture. You give them your license to verify and sign maybe 4 or 5 documents and go over the key cards, app, and charging. next thing i know the guy was already directing me out. I was like...can i take some pics first lol. I even did not get a chance to look over the car until I already left and just parked in their outside parking. luckily there wasn't anything wrong with it. They clapped for me as i left the building. no free tesla swag. thought id get something for being the first performance, let alone dual motor, out of there but nope. they pretty much shoo'd me out to get through the million other deliveries that day.

 

[srharris22]

[clostridium]

Hey... that's me too! Exact same config, ordered 6/26... no VIN yet. I'm an owner, 12/2016 reservation. We should keep tabs on rach other to see if they are really batching it this way.

Way cooler than the Fremont pickup. They just had them in a parking lot.

Picked up my P3D from there today. Was there for about 3hrs from appointment start until driving away. 1hr was just waiting to be seen by a guy with the paperwork, then 2hrs on and off in finalizing the trade in and reviewing the car.

Mine had some pretty significant body damage on the rear off-side quarter panel. Will book it into the local service center to sort it out. Too excited to refuse the car.

Oh boy is this thing fun, mainly crawling around in rush hour traffic running errands, but the odd on-ramp or freeway gap puts a giant grin on my face.
