Picked up “Joules” Friday afternoon and just posting now because I’ve been busy driving! 
This post is going to be long, so feel free to speed read or skip.
-PNE Forum was busy when we got there at 3:50 for our 4pm appt. They were very well organized:
- sign in desk as soon as you enter, then you go into a larger reception area with nesspresso machine and a few snacks where a greeter will come find you and let you know the name of the person who will be doing the car orientation
-Once this person finds you, they will walk you around the corner to the delivery room where you car will be. There were about 8-10 cars all waiting when I went in. You get a quick (too quick!) orientation of the vehicle and then your paperwork person will come find you. Don’t forget to take pictures like we almost did!
-paperwork gets done in the reception room while your car is driven to wait for you outside the front of the forum
-once that is done, an insurance agent will come find you
*** before your Tesla person leaves, make sure you get a copy of the signed financial agreement ***
-if you would like third party insurer for your optional, make sure you arrange this is advance as the broker at the pne will only offer you ICBC.
- after insurance is dealt with and you have a copy of everything, you go outside to find your new baby and go over every inch. It was pouring when we went through our delivery checklist. Fit and finish we’re beautiful on our car.
-drive home with huge smile and a little bit of anxiety as you manoeuvre your $80k+ baby along roads filled with co2 belching hazards.
The whole “delivery” process took about 45min for us and we did feel a bit rushed, but we knew they had a LOT of cars to go through. Do yourself a favour and go to the washroom sometime during the process, behind the curtains on your way is a huge room full of Teslas being prepped for their new families: lots of 3s but with some s and x models as well. When we drove around the pne as we were leaving, the back parking lot was full of more Teslas. Amazing!
Car is so fun to drive! I had never driven an EV before and I can honestly say that this car has surpassed my expectations. At home, we discovered a few minor imperfections:
1. Condensation in driver side tail light
2. Small gap/bubbling of rubber trim around rear passenger driver side door
3. Same door has issue with the latch and doesn’t open smoothly from the inside
*we had a small ripple in the dash right in the middle where it meets the windshield, but it mysteriously fixed itself when it was parked in the sun on Sat.*
Emailed our delivery Tesla dude and he gave us the number of the service department to get our minor issues fixed. Despite our minor issues, we are so in love !
