Just picked up my MSM/White/Perf/FSD/Towhitch MY this evening in Littleton, CO. I was originally scheduled to pick up tomorrow (Tuesday) but I called them this morning and asked if they had any openings and they fit me in at 5:30PM. My model ended up being VIN 234xx. The service center people definitely commented on how the models with >17xxx are having far fewer issues than the earlier models. I didnt check my vehicle for its "born on date" yet.
I have been following this forum for a few months and have been contributing and preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. With every good delivery and fitment post, I breathed a sigh of relief and for every bad experience i began to dread.
Today....was exceptional. The car was near perfect. Had i never read or watched all the "quality issues" I would never have noted a single thing. The paint was pretty flawless, the interior had a half centimeter smudge on the header but was otherwise perfect. The tail lights were off by maybe a millimeter. The rear seats were aligned and the trunk and frunk opened and closed easily. Panel gaps were not an issue. The glass was clean and scratch/crack free. Absolutely nothing that I would even make a service appointment for. The experience was surreal for sure. 150 Teslas on the lot and 20 or 30 people there picking up at 5:30PM. The telsa reps were kind, thorough and helpful taking time with those that needed help ("How do I unlock the charge port") and available for those of us who have spent hours every day for months reading every detail about a Tesla. It was the best car buying experience to date. I actually felt silly looking for all the "issues" i thought I would find.
On the drive home, the autopilot camera configured in about 20 minutes and drove us the entire way home without a hitch. The acceleration is ridiculous and there were no squeaks, rattles or other annoying sounds. It drives like a dream. I will need a bit of time to get the interface dialed in with all the radio options (will I ever miss XM radio? I doubt it). Wind noise at 60 mph was pretty much what i expected and will not be an issue for me especially rocking to the sound system.
The only thing that I had trouble with was getting my mobile charger to work. Apparently you need to really push it in hard to get it start charging. It kept on giving me a low charge and a yellow light. Once I pushed it in harder, all was good. User error only.
To say I was soooo happy is an understatement. I can only hope the rest of you that are waiting have the same experience. Im sure I will have some additional questions as I get to know my MY better and I appreciate your help along the way.
