Went armed with my 25 page checklist, paint depth gauge... just kidding....
Took delivery of my X at 2pm today from Mt Kisco SC in New York. Place was very busy with a tiny car park so double / triple parked blocking in a few cars (as many other cars had too). Walked in and they struggled to find records of my pickup today. Eventually a very young, very shy girl came to meet us - she said my DS had taken the day off today so would be looking after us.
Took us into the workshop area where they have a small space allotted for vehicle presentations. She opened the key box and one of the fobs fell straight onto the concrete workshop floor! No damage or scratches miraculously. As the car is for my wife I asked the girl to take her through the tour. She honestly spent around an hour with us giving us incredibly comprehensive walkthrough of not only how all the doors / trunk / frunk / charging works - but around 40 mins inside the car going through literally every single configuration option in the MCU - as well as setting up a driving profile for her, pairing both our phones and setting up the Tesla mobile app. She knew about the car in great depth - more than any Porsche / Range Roger / Jaguar salesmen I have dealt with has. Expectations more than exceeded.
I had a good look around the car in the workshop - everything was remarkably well aligned. Having seen many photos on this forum I was expecting to have a lot of remediation work needed. Really, there is nothing in terms of alignment or trim.
It was time to take it home, my wife drove it back and I followed in my Jaguar F Type. Still don't think the X is a good looking car but I think it will grow on me.
Once home and the sun was out I had another detailed look around. Here is the punch list so far:
1. Biggest issue - there is a fairly large flat / discolored spot in the paint on the front bumper. Didn't see it until the car was at home in direct sunlight.
2. One FWD is a bit droopy - it doesn't open as high as the other
3. I tried opening one of the FWD while standing it front of it to demonstrate to my wife they won't cause injury and have sensors. It didn't sense me. It literally knocked my backward.
That's it so far. Will keep tracking punchlist items this weekend and get it booked into the SC for its first visit. Hoping it won't need the bumper to be repainted
