- DAY 36 - It’s Delivery Day! Everything went pretty smoothly. We arrived at about 20 minutes before the appointment. They opened the doors and invited us to wait in the lounge. The delivery specialist was very friendly and kept asking if there were any questions. We did the paperwork and went to the car which had been pulled around and parked out front. I asked why the showroom/gallery was empty? She said they do so many Model 3 deliveries now that it was too much congestion trying to move cars in and out and that it was just easier to do deliveries outside. I assume that’s only if it’s not raining. As far as the car goes she’s a beauty. No issues that I can see at all. The only critique I would give is that it could have been wiped down one more time. There were little patches of dust and streaks here and there and again I saw them because I was looking for them. I didn’t go over it with a fine toothed comb, but from what I can see the fit and finish is as good if not better than my 2017 Model S.
