Delivery of my Red Model 3 today, aero wheels, PUP in Marina Del Rey California. I was first day reservation, on line during the presentation, non-owner. April 18 invite, May 24 configuration, if anyone cares anymore. Everything was great, except the traffic there SUCKED, took over an hour with LA traffic when should have been 25 minutes, but got over that stress pretty quick.
Anyway, it was really well organized and they were delivering a TON of cars, looked like over 50 to me, but they were a well oiled machine. Valet took my wife's car, they signed us in, brought us water, and within 90 seconds, Josh came out to guide me through the process. Everyone I talked to was excited to see a red car, they said it was the only red car to be delivered today. Josh walked me to the car, we had plenty of time to inspect it and all the body panels lined up, no scratches, shiny and bright all around. I ran my fingers along all the seams, and it felt good to me: the left hand side of the Frunk was a little lower than the right, but I wouldn't have noticed unless I was running my fingers on it.
I got the first basic tutorial and then they brought the car outside from the hanger, and the car just sparkled in the sunlight. Really glad I went with the red. Josh handed me off to another guy as he had another delivery, and that guy handed us off to another, but no matter at all. They all took turns tutoring me and the last guy even quizzed me to make sure I knew how to get the car off the lot and driving. There was even a Red toy model in the center console as a gift, they were excited when I found it. We could have stayed for an hour if we wanted to, no pressure and they would have answered as many questions as I could have thought of. I didn't want to be there any longer than I had to, I wanted to get on the road, so we were off after about 45 minutes after getting there.
Sorry for anyone who has had trouble with the delivery process, but I was lucky and things couldn't have been better. At least in Marina Del Rey, they were a great and organized team: Oh, everyone who worked there looked under 30, but no one was slacking off, everyone seemed excited to work there, reflecting how young and energetic this company is.
