Good luck with your delivery!
newbie here
I understand in Texas we have to accept delivery before being able to inspect the car. Is this true? What would you recommend to do in terms of inspection before/during delivery?

You can inspect the car, you just can’t unlock it. If you ask they may unlock it for you.
I did the external inspection first. I had decided I wouldn’t accept major paint issues. Panel gaps can be fixed, but mine were minor. Right headlight were misaligned, but everything can be fixed. The important thing is to not accept or get them to fix it. If not, nothing is going to change.
At the Dallas location now picking up the car and it is EXCELLENT!
A few minor tweaks (adjusting a head light, rear trunk alignment) but other than that the car looks incredible. Advisor here is super friendly and helpful. Zero complaints.
accepting delivery and will start with accessories/tinting this week!
VIN 33XXX, LR Awd, 20” wheels, no hitch

Mine arrived with a scratched rear diffuser and they won't allow me to take the car until they can replace it. No eta. Sad weekend!

Update:
scheduled a service visit for this Thursday to take care of alignment issues.
After driving it I’ve noticed a very loud plasticky rattle from the center console. It sounds like plastic rubbing on each other but I don’t exactly know where it’s coming from. Added it to the list.
Other than that the car is great

Looks great!! What does a "full" PPF and tint involve? Cost and how long to do? Thanks.
Im going to be selling my 3. Just waiting on the title to be delivered before I can finalize the sale. My neighbor is buying it actually. He took one ride in it and claimed it lol
Paint Protection Film was applied to the car and tint on all windows (except the top), including the windshield. Your price may vary depending on who you decide to go with. These services usually run between $5- but I found Austin Detailing to provide great service and value. I would reach out to them and discuss what you want to do and what they can offer.

any reason for tinting the windshield and not also tinting the top? I'm planning to talk to Austin Detailing today to get an estimate.
I would 100% recommend tinting the windshield and front side windows. I got mine done after driving 1000 miles without and I can notice a huge difference in the comfortableness of the cabin and a decrease in my wh/mi for the car. I was averaging about 380 wh/mi before the tint, and now it's gone down to 290 wh/mi. I've left the AC on auto between 70-72 before and after the tint.
I went to Sunbusters in North Austin and they did an awesome job. Got Formula One Stratos on the side windows and Llumar Air 90. Am going to reach out to Austin Detailing for PPF or ceramic coating.
