September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

[OmbreCake]

Somehow hold me back! I want to put some miles on it when I receive on Wednesday!

Can't help ya. Look. I HAD THE PPF IN MY POSSESSION. But I became so enamored of this beautiful little beast that I just HAD to drive it around for 3 days before I could be bothered with putting it on. By the time I calmed down , I'd already racked up two chips. Honestly, I have no idea how people go straight from the delivery center to get PPF/Ceramic. I'm 200 miles in so far, and I'm about to drive to the mailbox again. I love it SO much.

I'm PUMPED for you! Monday's just about in the books, and Wednesday's coming fast!

So an update to my accident saga.....

I was able to submit the video and pictures to Progressive online and it was SUPER easy! Now just waiting on the estimate. Thankfully there is a Tesla certified body shop in St Pete.

I just got off the phone with them and they were so nice! Once I get the estimate from Progressive, I send it to the body shop. Then I go to the body shop and they take pics and give me a timeline for repair. Then they order the parts.

Once the parts come in they call me and I bring my baby in to get fixed I think the actual repair won't take very long. It will be waiting on parts because of parts shortages. Thankfully the damage is very minor.

I do have to say this accident thing has been pretty smooth for my first time.

Not bad. My heart broke when I read about your accident. Fortunately you still get to drive Millie, and she won't have to sit idle waiting for parts!

I only ordered the mud flap.

My chips happened with the mud flaps installed. Definitely recommend the PPF.

You got the MSM? I am jealous! When I upgraded to the P I went Black. Wish I would have left it MSM.

I stuck it out and waited for MSM, almost made the switch to Performance but stuck with the original order

Look into XPEL Stealth if you want to keep the white color. It's a clear PPF that makes the car look matte. Also, update this morning and they said the car should be ready today or tomorrow

That's great news! Hope everything goes smooth! So far after checking a few shops looks like the costs are about the same its waiting to get it in as everyone is fully booked. Driving around without PPF be like

Thanks.... it stings less everyday.
Attached are the large trucks I have to try amd manoover around in a very tight parking garage. As you can see this truck is blocking half the gate to exit!

I will just have to be more aware next time because Millie is a little bigger than what I am use to.

That is obnoxiously big for the tight spot

Right! There are at least 20 of those scattered throughout the garage and I live on the top floor so it is like a maze trying to leave everyday

@Jdizzl11 sorry about your car.


Finally took delivery today. Met @Curious Nomad who took delivery at the same time.

Had a few minor issues. Paint was chipped on right rear door and had touch up applied poorly and white touch up paint was on the black door handle.

Windshield wiper prayers were not connected and fluid flowed into frunk area instead of onto windshield. This was the biggest issue.

1 pin and 1 bolt nut missing in left front wheel well.

Not enough to reject the car. Especially after waiting 8 months. Glad it is finally over.

Yep, got mine too at same time. Found 4 minor issues, nothing too serious. It was in mid 90's so nice to be able to have my wife sit inside cooled car while I did the inspection! Excess gaps on hood and trunk, one scratch on window trim and 2 missing bolts under rear bottom covers below trunk. Still need to check a few things at home to be sure I have not missed anything. Overall looks fantastic! And darn this thing is fast!

Picked mine up today, too. Oddly enough, I had the same issue with the windshield wiper fluid. Really easy fix though - I just popped the plastic cover and reconnected the hose.

VIN assigned 4/25. Delivery still on hold as I am waiting for parts.

How stupid is this? Almost have to wait a month even after getting a vin. Super pissed.

Congrats! My exact build, good to see they CAN build it. Maybe they made more than one?

Do you know what part? I have a F419 VIN, a month old, I suspect that maybe the issue. So trying to figure out maybe missing / look out for when I pick up tomorrow.

A lot of people got caught up in a shortage of charge port ECUs. If you are picking up, you should be ok because the car cannot charge without it.

Ok, so charging your car right, not the USB charger because I've read a while some were shipping without USB chargers.

Yes, charging the car. The missing USB port thing was a while back and for those, they were delivering the cars, just making you come back for the part. That being said, I brought a USB-C charging cable to my delivery appointment to test all the charging ports. All were operational.

In the case of the missing charge port ECU, they can't deliver since you would have no way to charge the car and would get stranded.

Thanks! I hope it's good as factory installed, don't want my car blowing up when charging. EV fire isn't something to joke around with.
