No. I'm just going to wrap it after buffering it a bit.Are you going to get yours fixed?
Haha, that is my worst enemy pollen. I hate that crap so much

Referred to as the "worm" here. Many, many people have the same thing. It is the seam where the cover separates when the airbags deploy. It is very hit or miss whether Tesla will replace it, but it seems like they are trending more towards not fixing this any more.Steering wheel has an odd "S" like imprint on the airbag. Not sure if I should report that.
Dang, that sucks. I'll report it via the app, will see what they intend to do. Thanks for the info!Referred to as the "worm" here. Many, many people have the same thing.

Thanks for the check up. It's been a whirlwind since picking up this (still don't know what is the best word to describe this other than a super rocket computer) on June 29th. My original EDD was the 28th at 5:00pm at the Fremont factory. The car was pretty much very clean on the outside. There was a sea of Tesla's with a school of employees cleaning and wiping Teslas all around me. I brought my BIL with me as he is the attention to detail one and he also picked up a Model YP a few months ago and experienced all the headaches of bringing in the car to get issues addressed like uneven panels and bad paint job. His advice to me is paint is the hardest to correct as it involves a lot of moving parts and your car most likely will come back with new issues.According to the others, yes it would appear so, very un-Tesla but whatever.
So what transpired with your delivery?
Congratulations and wow only a month wait. Luck you. Mine has a slight S as well but you can hardly notice it.Finally picked up the MXP last night, after they kept pushing back the pick up time (1pm, 4pm, 7pm) then got the "text" at 10PM. They switched VIN in the last moment as the original VIN was still in the QC but they need to meet EOQ.
Got to the Fremont factory (via Uber) and there were dozens of employees still cleaning and wiping down cars at 11pm. Didn't see many customers picking up at this time. Brought my flash light and checked off as many items as I could from the checklist. The car looked great, no egregious problems I could find. Both interior and exterior looked well put together (no dangling panels or exposed wires). Most irritating aspect was that the car was only 60% charged, had to go to a supercharger and spend a few bucks ($9) to get it to 90%. Will spend more time inspecting the vehicle in the sunlight today, I was told I had 24 hours or 100 miles (whichever comes first) to report any issues.
Here are some photos.

This forum has been very helpful as I was lurking on it for a few weeks before pulling the trigger, thank you all. Honestly, i was surprised i was able to pick-up the vehicle in a month's time - was not expecting this. Now I have to figure out which car to get rid of!
Honestly, I didn't ask only because i made final payment already prior to picking up the car so figured I was already in too deep - but yes, they did give me the same spiel "you must accept delivery before we can let you in the car, only way you can open it is with the app." I just used my handy LED flashlight and inspected through the windows as much as I could then went back into the office to "accept delivery" then proceed to test the doors, frunk, trunk, and check for the charger, adapters, and tow hitch. All was good enough at that point.Congratulations and wow only a month wait. Luck you. Mine has a slight S as well but you can hardly notice it.
Did they let you inspect the interior before accepting?
same for me. they were about to give away my car because my 3rd party lender didnt receive the required documentation they were supposed to provide, alas everything was sent in last minute so when i asked to see inside and there was some hesitancy, i just said F it and clicked accept. thankfully runs great, everything works, alignment and all looks good. just a tiny paint chip i saw on the rear maybe slightly bigger then a speck of dust.Honestly, I didn't ask only because i made final payment already prior to picking up the car so figured I was already in too deep - but yes, they did give me the same spiel "you must accept delivery before we can let you in the car, only way you can open it is with the app." I just used my handy LED flashlight and inspected through the windows as much as I could then went back into the office to "accept delivery" then proceed to test the doors, frunk, trunk, and check for the charger, adapters, and tow hitch.

They didn't clean the car well enough to my liking (i.e. no tire dressing, hand prints on windows, glue residual in some areas, etc.) so i had the cleaning staff take care of that stuff. They were cooperative.
Congrats on your MX and enjoy it in good health!
Rivian (except for the mileage)Luxury, size, comfort, and styling. Same reason the R1S with 400mi max pack should sell like crazy. The iX looks a bit goofy to me. It “looks like a EV” which usually is not a good thing. Teslas do not (imo). Give America a car that looks just like a current Yukon, X7, Escalade, or Range Rover but has a 400mi+ range and people will be ready to convert to EV.
Yeah the features on Rivian are impressive. Production and service yet to be determined. Have a few friends who really like their R1T’sRivian (except for the mileage)
If you ordered Lr at current price I'd go for plaid.Seriously debating on switching to Plaid. My current EDD is December 2022 - March 2023. It's a little over a 20k bump. I don't need it, but I do want it . Maybe it gets me my car a little earlier than that, maybe it doesn't. People here have had some success doing this correct?
I agree but everyone’s financial situation is unique. To me one of the biggest things about the MXP is the performance. I know that I will get bored with 3.8 only because my current car (MYP) is a bit faster. Nothing realistically will beat the MXP performance anytime soon or for a better price. Someone ran 0-60 in 2.3 on a regular road. That is stupid. I test drove a plaid myself, can confirm the power is breathtaking. Most of us who have ordered the plaid don’t need it, we want it. If you are the type of person who will look at plaids and kick yourself for not doing it, definitely strongly consider it now. Almost certainly you will get your vehicle sooner. If there are tax implications (i.e. section 168/179) you pretty much have to go plaid at this point.If you ordered Lr at current price I'd go for plaid.
I had a VIN originally scheduled for delivery on 6/29/22 & then moved to 6/30/22. When I called they said they were having issues getting my car delivered to my service location due to a lack of delivery trucks. It looks like they figured they would be unable to deliver it by the end of the quarter to me in time as my service delivery location is 2 1/2 hours away from the factory. This morning my VIN is gone and the delivery range moved to 7/1/22 - 7/7/22. It’s not hard to determine that my original VIN was probably given away to someone else closer so that they could make the end of quarter deadline. I’m glad I did not pay for the vehicle online in advance of delivery or I would have prepaid with no car to show for it! I’m old school! You show me the car, I inspect it, then I pay you!Anyone here have a delivery scheduled in the next 2-3 weeks?
Supposedly you can palm the cluster of buttons on the right side and it'll just engage the horn. But yes, I too am wondering when the "air-bag horn" will be enabled.Has anyone heard anything about the airbag horn ever being enabled? After Elon said the hardware was in all the vehicles since November 2021 I haven’t heard anything else about it.
It’s my only complaint about the yoke - the horn as a button is too hard to find in a panic situation and too easy to hit when doing low speed turns.
This whole “you can’t look in the car” thing is just hit and miss depending on where you accept delivery. I picked up in Atlanta and they gave me as much time as I wanted to inspect the car inside and out. My wife and I sat in the car before I accepted it and inspected the entire interior, operated all of the doors and windows, flipped through all of the menus on the main screen, etc.Honestly, I didn't ask only because i made final payment already prior to picking up the car so figured I was already in too deep - but yes, they did give me the same spiel "you must accept delivery before we can let you in the car, only way you can open it is with the app." I just used my handy LED flashlight and inspected through the windows as much as I could then went back into the office to "accept delivery" then proceed to test the doors, frunk, trunk, and check for the charger, adapters, and tow hitch.
