Taking delivery today. Checklist?

[Oyabro]

Taking delivery today. What should I look for when inspecting the vehicle? Is there a checklist of any kind? Thanks!

There are some checklists here you can use. My thought thought process was the following, which is why I didn't use one. I knew I was unlikely to refuse delivery unless there was something horribly wrong with it, so I just looked for obvious issues and knew I had 7 days to check it over more closely at home. I was also so excited I knew I was more likely to miss something that day so it was better to do it the next day IMO.

Your fellow S owners can give you more specific items to look for, but I was simply looking for bad panel gaps that I could create a ticket for that day for future service, and that all doors and the frunk lid close/ open properly. With the S I would pay attention to your rear hatch doors and tailgate. Seem to recall seeing others have issues with that.

Congrats and enjoy delivery day!

Congratulations! I got an S. In addition to @COdogman ’s list, I would add these:
1. Checking whether rear side doors close easily
2. Checking alignment of rear hatch (left and right panel gaps being equal)
3. Checking all underside bolts present and seated
4. All additional stuff you ordered is present or noted
4a - if you got cross bars, ask that someone help you install them at the service center. Mine were not seating correctly so I needed to adjust the cams. I was fine doing it but getting the service center to do it will save you ha
5. Cursory check of the tires to be sure nothing is stuck in them

Also, for the cross bars, electrical tape will stop the whistling noise.

Smiles everyone! This will be a good day!

This was my checklist based on some others.

Any you can see. I doubt any would have fallen out before delivery so I would not expect there to be any weird holes. But look for bolts that do not look seated - look for gaps between the nut head and the body panel
