- [ ] Inspect all glass for signs of distortion, scratches, or cracks.

- [ ] Check for proper windshield and windshield trim installation.

- [ ] NEMA 14–50 240v adapter.

- [ ] Test supercharger on site.



H. Final items

- [ ] Ask your delivery specialist to make sure that your car is marked as DELIVERED in Tesla’s network. There have been reports of cars being delivered and the phone app doesn’t allow log in the following day.

- [ ] Make sure you have copies of all paperwork necessary for good documentation of your purchase, including a copy of your signed purchase agreement. If your delivery specialist suggests that you can get your documents electronically on your Tesla account, ask for paper copies you can take with you anyway

This is a little outdated. Anyway, bringing a checklist like this will only give you anxiety and obsession over weird things and make your delivery take hours and take all enjoyment out of the actual car you just bought. 99% of these things are warranty items and if discovered later they will fix anything, no worries at all.

Just take a quick look around for obvious things, paint, aligment and such. Take it home, during first 24 hours, look it over closely, and if anything shoot them a mail to note down any faults that needs a service apt to fix.

Yes. I was offered complete seat bench replacement with a minor issue I noted at delivery. I opted instead to have them bring their leather seat guy in and he fixed the small tear. This was 5 years ago. Maybe they are less generous now but I think you've got a window where they take these issues as a due bill and it used to be 7 days but might only be 100 miles or 24 hours based on what I've read. Each service center operates somewhat differently.

God I hope so, dont know about you but my ocd would be killing me if I knew about the different stitch😩

I would bring it to their attention, and had it fixed once they have spare seats available for immediate replacement. Perhaps they have been doing different seats on many cars at this point?
