I received a call voicemail on Saturday saying the car had already arrived (I was out of town), called first thing Monday and moved my delivery up to today. Thankfully it was super quiet on a Monday, so it gave me a lot of time to look the car over. (Was parked next to some amazing company)
I went through everything as thoroughly as I could (was a bit dim so I had to use my phone torch), found a few minor marks that were easy to buff out but I unfortunately did find one major gouge/scratch at the drivers side door sill (why could it not have been somewhere I don't have to see every day!?) Guy filled it with touch-up paint and clear, added it to the delivery notes. While that was being taken care of I also found a issue with the passenger side door at the pocket where the "leather" was a bit buckled (image below). Again I had it added it the delivery notes, will deal with it next time it's in for service. Be sure to check all of those nooks and crannies!
Otherwise paint and panel gap wise everything looks fantastic. Definitely better than my previous LR RWD October build (now sold). It's a bit strange as I had the same white on black before, so it almost feels like being back in my old car... just much much MUCH faster. I actually love and prefer the ride of the Performance vs standard suspension, much more confidence inspiring and less crashing over bumps. The Sport tuning of the steering is amazing as well.
After being back in an ICE car for the last 6 weeks I am beyond happy to be back in a Model 3. The wait is worth it guys, remain patient and you will be rewarded for the foreseeable future. Good luck everyone!!
