I got nervous about the lead times for the SR+ so I had Tesla swap the model out for an MR they had in inventory. I went to pick it up today but I ended up rejecting the car. The body panels had gaps about as bad as I’ve seen. It looked like it could have been a 2017 build, except it had a build date of January 2019. I think it was probably rejected once, and that is why they had it in inventory.
The service center was pretty embarrassed they didn’t catch it before having me drive down. But unfortunately I had to place a new order and go back to the bottom of the queue and wait. I ended up ordering the LR model just because they said it would definitely get here within 2 weeks.
So somehow I’ve seen my order go from SR+ to MR to LR in four days. In the end I think I’m glad it happened though as I think I’ll have less range anxiety with the LR model.
If you end up going with an inventory model make sure you ask a lot of questions about why it is in inventory.
