I asked 2x this week for updates with no response. Its the lack of communication and going silent that is frustrating. I was expecting delivery around October or so -- so this still should be faster.

I am a bit concerned that the car was damaged and they don't want to tell me. I'm definitely going to check it closely, and I have the TMC checklist someone posted. If I find damage, I won't hesitate to refuse delivery and ask for another VIN. One of the early S owners on TMC posted that he took delivery last week -- and spent an hour looking over the car (he accepted, but found a small paint chip on the hood - leading edge, so not visible when closed and Tesla will fix)...

Anyway -- when I walked around their lot yesterday, I had a couple observations.
- The red with 19" wheels looks fantastic. I'm glad I saw the clone of my car -- its the right combo for me. There was a blue and dark gray with the 19's (one may have been the 20's -- there was one P+ there also) -- both looked great.

- I'm glad I didn't order the white interior. This was the first time I saw it. I like the look of the white seats -- its the white panel on the dash that I really don't like.

That is cool you saw your twin car, You’re going to love it when you get it, I wouldn’t go too crazy over little issues like a chip in the paint, no car is perfect even when new and the little things like a paint chip might seem big at delivery but are nothing being the car is going to get these chips anyway.

The coolest part of you guys all getting these new Tesla’s is they are still very rare cars and completely futuristic.


I know when I see the new 3 I stare at it just trying to look it over ... you’d think I was looking at a Ferrari .
