So just an update on my delivery, which thankfully went well (I’m really sorry for all of you with long delays, I guess I got lucky in that my delay was less than a week):
Got to my 4:00 pm pickup appointment at Houston North SC about 15 mins late (got tied up a bit at work and had to fight through traffic). My “orientation specialist” was waiting for me (not the same person at the Houston North SC I had been speaking with for updates on my car—it was someone else, but he was very nice). The place was empty, I literally felt I was the only person there. Definitely the only person taking delivery at that time. There were 3-4 other model 3s prepped and ready to go for delivery though, and several others in the service bay which I guess were still getting prepped for delivery.
There were two MSM model 3s parked next to each other, one with 19s and one with aeros. He initially directed me to the one with 19s saying it was my car. My heart sank for a second because I had ordered aeros. I asked him “are you sure it isn’t this one?” pointing to the one with the aeros and he asked me to verify my vin and he apologized for the mix up, the one with the aeros was mine...phew (make sure you check your VINs everyone). I took a quick look around and everything looked good, then we both sat in the car and he gave me a brief overview of the settings and charging (I was familiar with pretty much everything from YouTube videos). That took about 15 mins. Then he brought the car outside. I spent more time carefully inspecting it and making sure everything worked and couldn’t find any issues. It was charged to about 50% which was way more than enough to get me home so I was fine with that.
Driving it home was fantastic! This car is totally worth the wait! Autopilot was calibrating for about 20 miles then became active.
My wife, sister, and brother in law all took it for a spin earlier this evening and everyone was amazed. My 5 year old daughter loved it too and had no issue figuring out the door handle.
Can’t believe it’s in my garage right now!
