I figured when purchasing that the most common color would play a big role in facilitating delivery, so with my two choices being the multicoat red and multicoat white, I went with white with black interior.
I don't know what your VIN is, but mine was 1989XX, which is a very new build. Not only that but there were less than 20 miles on the odometer. As mentioned by the delivery rep, the quality of the new builds is excellent, and indeed mine had no defects at all. It was beautiful. I had an extensive checklist, but I wasn't going to keep the rep waiting for me to go down the entire list. What I and my son and wife did was do an overall exterior and interior inspection to ensure no gaps, malalignments, or major paint or interior defects, and that all doors and lids opened and closed properly and the rear seats functioned as advertised. Also, ensure the charging cables and tow hook are present and the glovebox opens. That's all you need to do to accept delivery and only took about 5 minutes. Then sign for acceptance on the rep's cell phone and he boots the car and your Tesla app, and it's now yours. I said thanks to the rep and let him go with the knowledge that I had 24 hours to finish my detailed checklist and report any flaws on the Tesla app. Fortunately, I found none.
Another thing to note with a car this new and with very low miles is that it takes at least 25 miles to calibrate the cameras before autopilot can be used, and I experienced that on my test drive. Surrounding the autosteer icon will be an advancing blue circle to let you know the progress in achieving calibration. Once the circle completes it then goes away and you have autopilot functionality.
While I was learning the display modes an update alert appeared. I elected to schedule the update, which takes 25 minutes, at 2 am, but then I decided to display the owner's manual. I got a bizarre sequence when the manual would not display, the air conditioner fan speed went to max, then the car shut down and rebooted. This repeated every time until I decided to perform the upgrade immediately. After that, I rebooted the car by holding down the two rotating knobs on the steering wheel while pushing the brake pedal and after a couple of minutes, the car came back to life, I could now read the owner's manual, and the bizarre reboot sequence disappeared. I'm not sure this would be intuitive to the average buyer.
