Well, it’s home here by the ocean now. But we’re heading up to the Sierras over turkey day.
The thick plottens! My how the turn tables.Unclear how they’re going to deal with it, but here’s what I actually see (no slats, but clearly the retraction hardware is in place):
Oh wow - you got considerably better information than I did, thank you!
Took delivery this morning at the South SF SC. I’m still kind of in shock that it’s real, but my god it’s pretty.
A couple of delivery notes:
- South SF is extremely efficient. I could have been in and out in 5 minutes, but I wanted a quick walk through for some of the basics that I forgot about since my FIrst Mile. 3 wet signatures and you’re done.
- Visual inspection shows all panel gaps look good, doors open/close as they should, no dents, etc. Perfect, new, yay.
- I was asked if my Guide had informed me that the automatic tonneau on the order was not installedand I’m in the queue for the retrofit. The answer was no, in fact, I had not received this information from my guide, which was moderately frustrating.
- Ticket has been opened so I can track in real-time
- All-weather mats, roof racks, and SUP bars will be delivered within 1-2 weeks
- Was told that I could in fact order a spare through my guide, because I forgot to re-add it when I soft-locked, but my guide has not been terribly helpful in this regard. Will try again.
Overall, a very pleasant and painless experience, if not a bit soggy (we got hit with a pretty gnarly downpour the moment I had arrived). Thanks to the SSF folks for being so great about everything - much appreciated.
I’ll get more pictures later, but here’s one from my office window while I wait for the rain to stop.
I wish they’d just do that for those of us who want the automatic cover because they’re basically doing that for manual anyway— we’re going to get it delivered with no slats and then those slats will be shipped later
I think we passed each other this morning as we took delivery of our trucks, we had the yellow one a few spots back from yours. We also have the same new non functioning tonneau cover...which was also news to us (but not surprising). It will be interesting to see when it actually gets dealt with. I also didn’t notice until we had left that all our accessories weren’t included…I’m going to assume we‘re in the same 1-2wk delivery boat.Took delivery this morning at the South SF SC.

Congrats! Was that you (a couple) walking into the lot with the delivery guy (whose name escapes me) as a dude with a man-bun and a befuddled look on his face tried to decode how to operate the blue Space Truck?
Hey Sasquatch--
Hey lostinafog,
Yup, that was us! Glad you were still able to make it, I was thinking you were forced to take 84 or Tunitas. 2.82 mi/kWh is impressive. I’m assuming we’re going to average around 2 mi/kWh with our 20 ATs. We have a little Mini Cooper electric that gets closer to 4 mi/kWh that we’ll use for commuting and zipping around town. This is our first time being a fully EV household…we’ll see how it goes. Are you planning on keeping your e-golf?
