Hey everyone. After drooling at the company and their products for 7 years, buying shares in 2015, and waiting for the right personal time to buy, I finally took delivery of my Stealth Performance Model Y yesterday in Burbank, CA. VIN 377XX built on Aug 14, (first day of amber taillights).
I submitted several issues to service, most of which no average buyer would have noticed or cared about (according to my friend who saw it today). A couple alignment issues, rear seat problem, tiny paint issues, and one multi-problematic front passenger door which will need replacing (only cosmetic issues). There was still nothing about the car or experience that was going to make me reject delivery. It is incredible. And the folks at the Burbank Service/Delivery center were extremely nice and very accommodating. They let us move the car into shade and let us look it over for ~2 hours, half of that time was spent dazed and confused that it was all really happening which is why it took so long.
Heads up for anyone trading in though. We were told that because trade-in is a different process, I wasn't able to access the car in the Tesla app until about 45min after driving off the lot (when it was marked as 'delivered'.) I was told that this is unfortunately normal for trade-in deliveries.
Doing PPF tomorrow and I cannot wait to tint the windows. For any other first time buyers...the acceleration is unbelievable and the driving experience is slap-in-the-face revolutionary. I never test-drove because I was afraid I would purchase immediately so I waited and it was an incredible experience driving it off the lot.
