I texted the number from which I received the delivery day message and they responded literally within a minute.
Our VIN 7SAXCBE53NF361XXX is showing up as manufactured on 9/11/22 @ 10.40 PM pacific time. So it was matched to our order AFTER manufacturing?
Picking up tomorrow.
So.... They randomly changed delivery date to Sunday without notification and this was 4.45pm today. I just happened to notice in the app the date change.
Messaged the same number as above and got a call within 2 mins. Told them I can just pickup today to be done with this long process. This was 5pm. They close at 6. They said sure! but still have to drive the car from the manufacturing parking area to delivery center. One hour needed. Wait for SMS text.
The automated delivery message with car's parking spot at Fremont delivery center came at 5.55pm. Rushed and reached there by 6.40. They waited for us, we were the last delivery of the day. Which was nice of them. But no way to open car to check. They closed the delivery center after we stepped out and left us to find the car, inspect from outside and accept delivery on the app.
So, the car is sitting in our driveway now. One thing I did not know was that garage door opener is included with the X. I am guessing it is the same as S as well. Our Y from last year did not come with it.
- Before driving out from factory delivery center, right falcon wing door and passenger door won't open all the way because of a phantom obstacle. Once home, everything was fine. Will test tomorrow with the driveway incline.
- Third row seats have wrinkles. One of them really bad.
- Highway speeds - feel more vibration than our previous X. Previous X had tires chewed up early and unevenly because of wheel misalignment. So this feels like the same.
Opened service ticket for this Thursday, which was initially home service, then they switched to Fremont service hub drive-in.
Overall, great to be back in an X. No other major fit and finish issues. Doors are heavier than previous X. Driving back home, I was totally confused with all the touch buttons, etc. Had to figure out how to even enable autopilot.
Switching between our Y and this X is going to be interesting every day. I keep trying to grab the non-existent top part of the steering wheel. But I am not complaining.
Will sleep happier tonight.
