Traditionally, Tesla manufactures cars for over seas delivery during the first half of each quarter. They then shift gears and produce cars for domestic deliveries, with east coast deliveries being produced first.
Just a couple of quick suggestions...
If their delivery procedures are the same as when I got my car, they will try to get you to sign the paperwork before letting you see your car. They can be pretty pushy about this, too.
When I asked to see the car first, they actually told me, “sorry, but that isn’t our procedure. We won’t allow you access to the car until the papers are signed.” I usually have a pretty high tolerance for BS, but this triggered me. As politely as I could (through clenched teeth), I reminded them that I was the customer here, and that I wouldn’t be handing them a check for sixty two thousand dollars and would not be signing anything until I had the opportunity to inspect and accept the car. I also made it quite clear that the entire process would be shared on social media to the greatest extent possible.
That kinda changed things around. From that point on, everything went according to my desires, as it should have been from the start.
TL;DR: don’t let them push you around and don’t accept a car that doesn’t pass muster with you.
