Took delivery today

[RexRemus]

Found a near enough match in the store last week, and picked it up today. VIN 131XX

One question - I had the wall charger, field kit, and cargo crossbars in my order and got.. none of them today. Is that still normal? I know early on pretty much no one got any accessories at delivery - is that just how it works? I got nothing about when they would arrive, or if they were even coming. So that was a little odd. Followed up with Guide so we'll see what they say.

Panels were great, paint all looked very good (though I have not checked along roofline yet), even the rear hatch was quite good, it sticks out maybe 1/8" of an inch - not something you'd ever give a second glance if you weren't obsessing over it. Only drove about 40 miles today total and no real issues. I did have some slight AC compressor vibration through the pedal, but it didn't last more than 3-4 minutes at any point (typically right after startup) but everything else was seemingly working perfectly.

Beautiful rig, congratulations!

And yes - your gear will show up in a few days. Totally normal. Mine was less than a week after pickup.

Ok, good, thank you for the confirmation!

Sharp ride!

Did you add the accessories when you chose your S from the shop or were they in your original order? I thought unless you arranged it with your guide ahead of time items from your original order didn’t get automatically included with your shop purchase….?

I could be wrong about that since I didn’t purchase through the shop.

They were in the shop order And show up in my purchase summary

Ok cool. I think you should be good then. Congrats on your new S - you’re going to love it!

Amazing build / selection. My charger showed up 4 days before my pick up date and about 4 days after I made my selection from the shop.

Your guide should be able to look up the tracking number for you.

Enjoy your new ride and please post up pictures when you make modifications to your ride.

Thanks!

Also side note...

When I did my test drive, I have a distinct memory of the accelerator pedal being very.. soft? It was squishy and like VERY easy to depress.

On my vehicle it feels much more firm, it has some heft... not where it's uncomfortable to hold in position, it's just enough to actually give feedback/feel on the position, the test driver was like a wet noodle. It actually made it very hard to be precise on the tip-in to be able to "inch" the vehicle. It left me with genuine concern as I knew my parking situation was going to be VERY snug (see images- I have about 3" of play either side).

Was I just imagining it? Could they have changed the "weight" of the pedal between early production and now? Was the test driver just "broken in"? Either way I actually feel very confident making small and precise moves with the vehicle I got. Which is great because I need all the help I can get stuffing this thing into my tiny garage

What is your regen set to?

High or standard?

It's on high. I wanted to just go straight to "hard mode" and learn one-pedal driving as it was going to be (this is my first EV), but the test driver was on high as well, so I don't think that would account for the difference

Collected mine today, also a 131xx vin, and I drive it on high regen as well. For me it's the regen and brake hold combination that causes me the most difficulty when trying to inch forward. My driveway is on a pretty steep downward slope, which ads its own extra issues. But I can say that my pedal doesn't feel light or mushy, fortunately.

Speaking of QC stuff, I was also thrilled to have no weed-wacker noises or pedal vibration, despite pretty heavy use of AC today (100 degrees this morning, as per usual).

 

[Chewy734]

She looks great! Love the color combo you got.

I got my charger a week before the truck, so hopefully you get yours soon.

 

[kpx110]

That is one sexy truck. I have only had mine for a few hundred miles but I absolutely love it.
I feel like mine only had a few very minor panel / finish issues

Weed whacker was there but very minimal just for a few minutes after initial wake. To be fair though it's only like mid-80s here though so might be more severe when it creeps up toward 100
