I personally had a not so smooth delivery of my Model Y to my house. It just wasn't coordinated well and they never called with specific time they were going to deliver. I understand it was a touchless delivery but they just dropped the car off and parked it in a not so convenient spot. HOWEVER.....I quickly got over it because the car was so beautiful and the car had no construction issues it was BEAUTIFUL😍. So Tesla got a pass from me on this one because they sent me a perfect car! I continue to love my Model Y it's a great car!

It wasn't any better going the dealership. It's right around the corner from us, so I chose to go in. After waiting 4 months, being pushed out another 2 months (watching my friends kid get one 4 days after he ordered, while I was still being pushed out 2 months) they all of a sudden wanted to deliver ASAP. I scheduled the appointment and got a call asking if I could come in sooner as they were trying to pump out hundreds by year end....4 days away. It was worse than black Friday at the mall when I went in and they couldn't/ wouldn't show me even the basics. My Lexus was $20k less and they wanted to show me everything including setting up my phone. So I leave Tesla and drive to meet family at a restaurant........I had no idea how to put it in park. 😜

1. Check for major defects like panel misalignments that can't be fixed, and if so, reject it. 2. Check for battery degradation (most important). If it's already way below the EPA estimates, reject it. 3. If no problem for 1 or 2 above, take the car home. You can do all other inspections later, and if any is found, schedule an appt to get it fixed. Hope this helps.

Don’t forget if you have white exterior and see paint issue to also reject the car. Tesla can’t color match white so any painted panels will result in different shades of white. On other words. If there is paint issue reject the car.

Also in the car park outside John Lewis at cribs. You have more at Gordano services. Also really fast IONITY at Collumpton and about a dozen more Tesla superchargers at Darts farm, exeter.

So here's my experience with delivery day. Before going into the bad, the car itself is fantastic and I'm in love with it already. What I'm going to mention below are two gripes I have, but they're borderline nit-picky so you may not have a problem with them. This is just another sample piece for people to add to their "other peoples' experiences" jar. Again, everything else was great so don't let this dissuade you; I'm just giving my personal experience and opinions. I ordered my Model 3 RWD in March this past year. I finally picked it up yesterday after 6 months of waiting. There were some obvious water spots from the rain during transportation and a bit of dirt from the 15 mile drive they put on it, but that doesn't bother me. Thankfully I did not see any issues with exterior or interior. Here's where my first issue lies: Connectivity. Tesla has updated their connectivity policy to where "Standard Connectivity" is only free for the life of the vehicle if you ordered it before July 20th, 2022. After that, it's only for 8 years. Since I ordered my Model 3 back in March, you'd think I'd be fine, right? Here's the kicker: I was reading my review agreements and sure enough, the "Connectivity" section said I will only have it for 8 years. I tried talking to the sales reps and from what I learned throughout this whole experience is they're basically just glorified cashiers - they really don't know anything that you can't look up yourself on your profile or the Tesla FAQ. The scariest part of that is, apparently I was literally the first person to ask about this. To me, that means A) Tesla reps aren't being told how to handle this new policy change (which seems kind of important for them to know, especially since the policy has gone into effect for over a month now), and B) People aren't reading their review agreements, which is shocking to me. I totally understand that I was being "that guy" asking these questions, but if I'm dropping $50.5k on a vehicle and signing legal documents stating that I'm agreeing to their terms, I'm going to make sure that I'm getting what I was promised. My biggest fear now is since I did end up signing the paper, I don't want to have to call someone at a later date asking about this again and have a rep say, "Well you signed the agreement for it being under 8 years so we can't do anything about that!" Unfortunately, I still don't have an answer. Yes, 8 years is a long time and realistically won't be an issue, I know, but I'm not going to sit idly if a company tries to go back on something they originally promised. My second issue is related to obtaining the mobile connector, if your order was placed before April 2022, Tesla says you should get that connector WITH your car. I even stopped in the dealership a few weeks prior to delivery to ask about this (and a few other things) and they also said it would make sense for me to have one included with my vehicle. However, instead, they sent me an email with a $200 credit to buy one off the tesla shop site. Sure, I didn't pay anything for it, but I was expecting it to be part of the vehicle. That's a bit of an issue for me because I planned on going on a trip back to my parents and I'd need that mobile connector to charge at their place, so now I have to hope that the connector will be shipped and arrive here within the next week. This probably won't be an issue for most people, but this is still something that I feel should have been made more clear because it *can* cause problems. Other than those two very specific things, everything else went great and I'm very excited about my new Tesla!
@XieningDai Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the sharing. I am on the same boat - ordered in March 2022 and picking up this weekend. I wonder if you got a reply from Tesla regarding the standard connectivity. I looked up online, and could not find any official statement about 'keeping standard connectivity for free for the life of the vehicle if ordered before July 20th 2022'. Never thought they would charge the standard connectivity. That sucks.

@@XieningDai You can find it on the Tesla support/connectivity page. Scroll down until you find "Details" and it'll say, "What vehicles will continue to receive Standard Connectivity at no cost? All new Tesla vehicles ordered on or before July 20, 2022, will have Standard Connectivity features at no cost for the lifetime of the vehicle (excluding retrofits or upgrades required for any features or services externally supplied to the vehicle - e.g. telecommunications network). As additional features and services become available in the future, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your connectivity plan."

@@Roxas13XIII I called Tesla and they were able to update the agreement for me and remove the terms about standard connectivity before delivery date, which is nice. I would suggest you screen shot the policy from Tesla website, and I think you should be fine.

Mike, this in an extremely helpful video. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this checklist! Has anyone had any troubles taking delivery from Paramus NJ? Are they allowing sufficient time to inspect the vehicle before accepting delivery? I will be driving over 250 miles to get the vehicle home, so the 100 mile warranty will not be valid by the time I get back to my residence. Thank you
