Smooth delivery today

[MY-Y]

With much concern from reading this forum and armed with my checklist, I headed out for my MY this afternoon. Its not perfect, but pretty close. Two paint imperfections that will be buffed out, a tiny chip near the headlight, and the biggest issue, a small scratch on the window where they scraped the window sticker off.

It's funny, I checked my other cars for panel gaps before heading out. I've always been happy with them, yet they have some of the same panel alignment issues that are highlighted on Teslas.

I did notice a couple of issues driving home. The FM radio wouldn't play - screen reboot fixed that. One time I entered the car, the passenger window rolled down 1", and at 70, there was some very low frequency noise (I'll check then hatch bumpers soon.)

I updated to the latest SW when I got home, so hopefully the window rolling down issue is solved.

Update: spending some time looking at home, there are two other things that need to be fixed and one that I may ask to be fixed.
1. Small scratch on bumper through the paint
2. Passenger door top trim is wrinkled- like it was mounted with a hammer.
3. Red color on hood isn't even - not sure if I care enough, will have to reevaluate in the sun tomorrow.

There are multiple minor paint imperfections. I guess I see the car as a wear-item vs a piece of fine art, so those don't bug me too much.

Seeing more positive delivery posts are great to see. I will be picking up on Saturday and am hoping I don’t arrive to a disaster of a vehicle.

What is your vin?

 

[astrolaika]

Great news! How did the taillights look? Yes, curious about your VIN and location!

Tail lights, charger door, and the rest of the stuff on the checklist are all fine.

Thanks for the vin.

I am glad that it turned out fine for you. I had to refuse my first delivery (vin 7088). Just got a new vin assigned today 15xxx, so crossing my fingers that it works out this time.

what site did you use to discover the actual build date?

I asked my sales advisor. I haven't seen the car yet. I do believe the build date is on a sticker on the door frame.

The month/year is on the door frame, but not the date. The actual date is on a sticker on the windshield, but that's always removed before delivery. Otherwise, a delivery specialist should be able to tell you the exact date.

Mine shipped on 6/8, the door sticker says 6/20. Probably built 6/3 - 6/7.

BTW, it has the AWD 990 motor and heat pump compressor wrap.

I'm hoping your build date is a good sign for my delivery tomorrow. Vastly different VIN 90xx, but my build date is 6/6. Picking up in Tyco. Happy to hear you had the compressor wrap, maybe by that point all MYs had it.

That's great. How were you able to confirm that these items were included? I pick up on Sunday.

For the compressor, I removed the plastic cover under the front trunk and looked. For the motor, you can see the motor ID plate through the rear driver's wheel (with the Gemini cover removed). I couldn't read it that way, but it made it easy to see where to hold my cell phone behind the wheel and take a picture. The 990 model number is easy to read that way.

Was the frunk trim loose, like we've seen on early cars?

 

[TomServo]

Does anyone recall at what VIN breakpoint did Model 3 QC's drastically improve? Right now it appears that Tesla has built roughly 15K MY's. I'm holding off a bit longer as I'm in no hurry.

Yes. I snapped it back down after checking out the compressor.

The 990 motor is the P version?

No. The 980 is the performance version.
