Took me a while to get around to posting but took delivery Sunday 10/16! Feb 2021 order! 619 days!
We own a 2016 Model S, wow was delivery different. As everyone knows it’s 100% via app. One person at delivery center running around delivering cars. 3 other cars delivered at same time as mine. Girl was very nice but not the “red bow, VIP” experience of yester-year.
She had all the cars unlocked on arrival, saw my car, paper on dash with my name. She instructed me to start picking it apart and let me know if there were any issues.
Plastic wheel inserts needed installing, she did that. Black marks on white seats she cleaned. Other than a dirty windshield car was absolute perfection. Paint, alignment, functionality all perfect. Had 7 miles on her.
Only second car I’ve ever bought, but definitely unique. Handed over cashiers check, she installed license plate, hit accept on app and drove off. Wild. Sucks the personalized touches are gone at delivery but Tesla has changed and I’ve accepted that. If I was first time customer it definitely would have left me wanting more for sure.
Fit and finish in the car is amazing. Better than our S. Interior is stellar and Love the new UI.
Fobs: I was upset when I heard no fobs on the forum. Do not miss them one bit. The phone key works scary good and it’s just natural. Walk up and car is ready for you. Won’t be buying the fob as I had planned after having it a few days.
The Yoke: best feature on the car. Wouldn’t be the spaceship it is without it. You’ll adapt to it in 30 seconds or less. Definitely makes the car uniquely Tesla, and that’s a really good thing. All the yoke haters need to chill or buy a Rivian that comes with the cool loss of steering feature.
Now where is that new Roadster Elon…….
