Take a shot every time he says “Gonna wanna”
You’re “gonna wanna” get about 100 gallons of alcohol
@@MikeSeuss Haha keep up the great content👍🏼
Hahahahaha i was searching for this comment
🍻
I also took shots every time he said “work as intended “ 😂🍶
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!
I’m sorry to hear that! I wouldn’t have been happy about that but I’m glad you are enjoying your Model Y!
@@MikeSeuss thanks Mike keep the great videos coming!
New Tesla's are like babies. Perfect or not, you fall in love with yours almost instantly.
@@patriciazoerner perfect way to put it!
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.
How do you check battery on a new car still on the lot?
@@Kinghippi3 Have the tesla delivery person check it for you. I didn't check mine and of the hundreds of videos teaching people how to inspect never mentioned it; when I finally remembered to check mine weeks late, it was over 10 miles in range down. It kept going down from there.
🤔
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.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

Thanks! Btw I have a downloadable / printable checklist in the video description
I’ve had this video saved for a while but I’m finally taking delivery of my MY LR today! Thank you so much for such a thorough checklist! I was afraid of missing something but your video is so thorough, I really appreciate it!
No problem, and congrats!
This is incredible video and what to do when picking up your Tesla. My wife and I ordered our Model 3 LR Jan 6th and really are looking forward to picking up the car. I watched your whole video and loved the detail you went into on each item. I figured I would spend an hour or so taking notes and then I saw you had a PDF already available for download. This is the best Tesla Delivery Checklist I have seen. I look forward to seeing all your other videos on the Tesla and maybe other items of interest. Thanks again and with this checklist we should be able to do a good job accepting the Tesla when it is ready.
Thank you I appreciate that! were you able to pick up your Tesla yet?
@@MikeSeuss yes my wife and I picked it up in Buena Park, CA and we used your checklist to pickup our Tesla . I now have wife hooked on your videos. Thanks again.
Nice congrats man!
This is by far the most complete and helpful Tesla checklist video I could find. Was listening on repeat to get ready for “The Day” 😬 such a blessing and Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! You can also download and print out the list using the link in the video description!
Has it come yet?
Yes and this list did cover everything I needed to give me a feeling of confidence after accepting delivery. I had found a couple minor adjustments all taken care of at the service center and I feel very well informed about my Tesla now!
@@curtbrody7777 awesome
I'm getting ready to purchase a Tesla Model 3 long range and have been watching a lot of You Tube videos. Yours is the first one I've subscribed to because of the great job you did in this video. Thanks for your diligence in making a video that was clearly intended to help people know what to look for when they take delivery of their Teslas.
I’m glad I could help, wishing the best with your order!
Just took delivery a few hours ago. Thank you for the video. It was well done, thorough and very helpful.
Congrats! You’re welcome!
Really excellent. The careful and systematic preparation you do suggests a LOT of talent. Thanks.
Thank you!
This guy has saved Tesla so much money and headache from customers calling them with complaints and questions
😉
Thank you so much Mike for creating this specific video and creating the actual check list. I appreciate your attention to detail. Now I feel prepared in picking up my car. Have an awesome and blessed day!
You’re very welcome, congrats on the Tesla!
Wow. From one Mike to another, this is a great video for anyone that is new to Tesla/EV, like me. There are so many things to check off and I realize that Tesla should be responsible for this QA checklist, but simply knowing about so many little items like this is fantastic. Thank you!
Thanks Mike!
I’d like to second this as a third Mike
Thanks for the video Mike. I'm from Devon, in the UK and receiving my Tesla in 2 weeks. This was really helpful for me and I will watch it again just before delivery. Thanks Man! Really thorough check list. Your video is reaching out to so many people worldwide. Much appreciated.
Congrats and I’m glad I could help!
Did you collect from Bristol Stuart? What was the state of charge when you picked the car up? I am near Plymouth and am trying to decide if I need to plan on staying overnight in Bristol or if I can count on it having enough charge at delivery to get me home. Occurs that on a delivery day the local Superchargers may be busy if the cars are delivered empty. Superchargers are not exactly common in the South West!
@@john_hind Hi John. The car arrived to my door on the back of a truck. Chap reversed my car off, gave me both keys then drove off.
I can’t remember the charge state but sure it was high like 80% or more.
If you do pick up T Bristol there are loads of superchargers. At the dealership they have several. 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.
Enjoy your new Tesla. I’m sure you’ll love it 👍
Any questions give me a shout.
@@stumcph Thanks, Stuart, that is reassuring! I took a test drive at Darts Farm and am realising there are actually more supercharger locations than appear on Google Maps, so probably not a problem. I was getting a September delivery date when I ordered a few weeks ago which immediately advanced to June getting me all excited, but now it has gone out to September again, so I'm not holding my breath!
Thank you very much Mike. I watched this video before I went to pick my vehicle this week and I literally picked up the back seat in hands, even the guy who was with was shocked. They fixed it before I left the dealership. ❤❤!!
I’m glad this helped you! Congrats on your Tesla!
Great video! I pick up my Model 3 performance next Wednesday and I'll definitely use the checklist you made. Thanks for putting all this together.
Awesome congrats! I have another super informative video dropping tomorrow, made specifically for new buyers like you! stay tuned!
Taking delivery on Friday! Ordered 7/7 so I’m really excited. Thank you for the tips!
Congrats! You’re going to love it
I’m picking up my 2nd Model 3 this Saturday. This was such a comprehensive and helpful checklist. Will definitely have your list pulled up to reference. Just subscribed as well! Cheers ❤
Thank you and congrats!
Quick correction. Tesla doesn’t have dealerships. They have stores and service centers. The difference being they own their location, they are not franchises.
👍🏾
Thank you for such a thorough check list. I will definitely use this when I pick up my Y.
Not a problem!
Great Job Mike! Beautiful and very informative, detailed presentation . I didn't know there was that much detail to look for in a Tesla inspection. Thank you so much!
👍🏾
I wouldn't test opening the doors with the emergency release without putting the windows down a notch. (10:43) You risk some damage if you don't. Also notice that you still have the protective sticker on your sun visor. (14:28) Just pull the yellow tab to remove it.
Very true thank you!
Great video! I’ve seen written checklists but seeing exactly what to look for makes a huge difference. Already downloaded yours😊
Glad it was helpful!
Love the detailed list and explanation! Thanks Mike.
No problem!
Mike, I'm taking delivery of my Tesla Model 3 on Sunday. I have my checklist printed and have watched this video a couple of times. Excellent information! Thanks for helping to prepare us Tela Newbies!
Congrats! Wishing you a great delivery!
I am doing the same! Waiting for Tesla to confirm the delivery date! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Mike, I wish I had this when I picked up my Model X.
Things to add:
Check for proper fit of the floor carpet. Mine had gaps and you could see the metal. Also make sure that you get the actual interior you ordered. I did not get what I thought I ordered since the website is not accurate. Do not accept the vehicle if it is not what you ordered. Pen marks on my seats, the car being delivered dirty inside and out. Believe it or not, the floor mats looked quite worn, and my car had 50 miles on the odometer. It was a new 2021 Model X not refresh but Raven.
Ouch sorry to hear that and thanks for the tips!
My passenger floor mat doesn't fit at all and 8s all rippled because of it. It's like they tossed one for an X into a Y.
Thank you so much for this detailed checklist! I pick up my car on Friday and there's no way I would have checked all these things had you not brought them to my attention.
You’re very welcome, congrats btw and I hope you have a great delivery!
Taking delivery of MXP Sunday, this video has been super helpful and very detailed. Appreciate the video in segments so I can pause and take notes and come back.
Glad it helps! Wishing you a great delivery!
Solid comprehensive list, great edits, good cut scenes and detail close ups. Respect!
Thank you
Absolutely the most informative video on picking up your Tesla, I have made lots of notes in preparation of picking up my red, LR next week. Can't wait! Thanks Mike for this video. You are helping first-time owners tremendously.
I’m glad I can help! Thank you and congrats, I hope the delivery goes well!
Fantastic video. Incredibly helpful. Thank you Mike!
Thank you!
Mr. Suess, you are great! Thank you so much for the information that you provide. Buying a Tesla is unlike buying a gas car. There are a lot of things to know and prepare for. Thank you again, and YES! I have definitely subscribed to your channel. Thanks again for sharing and educating.
Thank you I’m always glad to help!
This video has been more helpful than any Tesla employee!!! Not that Tesla employees aren’t helpful but this was all you need to know and I feel I won’t get this info from Tesla! Picking ours up in 2 days 😀
Thank you and congrats! Wishing you a great delivery!
Helpful Tesla employee....ha ha.... good one..
Mike should be getting honorarium payments from Tesla by simply doing better/additional services for customers
Thank you for this very helpful video. We are watching this video on our way to pick up our new Tesla MYP. A replacement of our MY that we were on accident a month ago. Tesla insurance has been very kind to us. Paid us more than we originally bought the new MYLR.
@@MikeSeuss@ aAre you saying defects aren't covered under warranty?
Damn bro. 5 star review right here.
Nicely done inspection.
Imma give you my like for this one. Keep up the great work.
Much appreciated, I’m glad you enjoyed it
Great video! Picked up my Tesla Model 3 and spent an hour at the dealership with my friend to make sure everything was good! Only had one minor issue with the wood trim that they are going to fix asap! Thanks so much for doing this!
Glad it helped!
I've watched a number of your videos and every one has been really informative. I finally remembered on this one to subscribe because I want to check your channel regularly. Great help and thanks, Mike. A bientôt.
Very much appreciated, thank you
This is super helpful Mike. I appreciate you taking the time to create such a thoughtful checklist.
Glad I could help!
This video is so helpful. I’m picking up my Model 3 this week, thanks for sharing!
No problem I’m happy I could help! Hope the pickup goes well!
Hey Mike, thanks for this video. Although my delivery date is not scheduled until around December 2022, i came across your channel and subscribed to be prepared in finally acquiring my Model Y.
Thank you!
I am picking up my Model 3 tomorrow and glad I found your video and checklist. You covered everything about picking up the car at the dealership. Excellent video... I'll give you 5 out of 5 for great job. Be blessed...
Congrats and I hope all goes well!
Good luck everyone
👍🏾
Thanks Mike for the helpful video and checklist! It came in handy on our MYLR delivery day. Even the Tesla specialist was impressed with our thorough inspection. Keep up the good work-If I ever meet you, I’m gunna wanna shake your hand!
Haha glad this was helpful
Great content and wonderful presentation. Thank you.
Very welcome!
Awesome video and super helpful! Our EDD on our MYLR isn’t until August, but glad I found your channel and checklist so we can be prepared! Well done, thanks Mike! New subscriber here! 👍🏼
Thank you, congrats and I’m glad to have you!
Quick question mine is August as well, did you receive any update since your order or everything is still the same?
@@victorcastro8815 Our delivery date changed 3x most recently to Sept 2022 earlier today. We ordered Feb 6, 2022. This afternoon, we switched to a MYP, delivery date currently set for May 2022.
@@arlenec9633 thank you for that info as of right now, I'm still on for August but i placed my ordered beginning of the week so let's see what happens
This video is so informative, thank you! I’ll definitely use it when I pick up mine in about two weeks ☺️ really hoping there won’t be any issues
You’re welcome, congrats and I hope it all goes smooth!
Very informative vid bro and it's much appreciated. I'll be taking delivery soon and I'm super glad I came across your channel!
Edit: I've been reading on forums that they are now forcing delivery and not allowing you to inspect the interior or even get in until you accept delivery?! Apparently you can only inspect the outside. Has anyone else experienced this?
Never heard of this, as you have to be happy with your car before signing it away. Do NOT let them force delivery on you
@@MikeSeuss I took delivery last week and was given 10 minutes to inspect the car on my own at the beginning of the process and 24 hours or 100 miles to call or use app to log an issue (thus making the problem a pre-delivery issue). I found it to be plenty of time to inspect the car!
Oh wow!

Thank You So Much for your work on this video! You earned my subscription.
Thank you, glad I could help!
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
Thank you, I’m not sure of any troubles with delivery there hopefully someone will see your comment and be able to answer!
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!
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.
Hope you’ve been enjoying the Tesla!
Great video - super helpful! On point and well organized. Delivery day today - I'm all set with one last review of the video, and a printed copy of the checklist. Much appreciated. Cheers
Glad it was helpful! Congrats on your tesla
I'm picking up my Model Y next week and your checklist is definitely helping me a lot. Thank you bro !!
Happy to help!
Mike such an informative video, you have literally Broken down everything to look for in such a easy to understand, and what to look for, I wish this was around when I bought mine 2019 my steering wheel horn did not work with out pushing it hard and my passenger courtesy mirror was cracked you will help so many new owners with this. thanks for sharing.
Trying my best to help the community!
Amazing Video! Incredibly helpful and very discriptive. Thank you Mike!
You’re welcome, thank YOU
Great video! I will definitely use the checklist in March when my model S arrives!!
Nice!
Thank you for the s/o! I flew to Kansas City Missouri to pickup my car, and drove home in my Tesla Model 3! Those miles came in handy fast!
Congrats!!!
We fly to KCMO to pick our 3 up this Thursday!
@@ItsNeeQ enjoy bro! you going to love the car. I haven’t been able to force myself to drive my ATS since i got my tesla.
@@steveburdex6104 i bet lol. I’m gonna find every excuse to drive it
This is so helpful, you are thorough and what great insights to prepare for picking up your new Tesla! Thank you !!! 🙏
BTW:
“Gonna wanna” is optional, but, included in every check. 😃
Haha
U need all these because customer service doesn’t exist after u leave the dealership 😂😂
Agreed
Watched this while taking delivery. Thanks for the thorough inspection steps! Had some flaws in my MY, hoping the service center can fix. Did not want to decline delivery and risk not getting another one before the $7500 rebate ends.
Smart decision
Picked up my Model Y Performance in Austin last Saturday. The A/C was not blowing cold air. Thanks to your video I would have never thought about checking something that should have been checked by Tesla. Car was fixed in a few hours and the manager at the location was very friendly and helpful
Other than that there are no quality issues. Paint looks great, no panel gaps.
Glad it helped!
If you did it again would you do pickup at a Tesla center or have it delivered at your house?
Definitely a Tesla center incase anything is wrong you can take care of it right there!
@@MikeSeuss Makes sense.
13:11 Thanks for the video BUT flip flop shoes with socks? C'mon Dude, you don't deserve a Tesla. Flip flop is a already "NO GO" but with socks.... Geeeez.
Comments about what I have on my feet? What a weirdo
@@MikeSeuss Forget to say... "White" socks are even more weirdo... Are you single ? Hope for her/him...
@@MikeSeussYou wear like a redneck publicly/worldwide and call your viewers wierdo? That tells a lot about you Mike... Respect your viewers man. What a disgrace for Tesla.
Great video. Very detailed, very organized. Good communication. I'm accepting delivery of my M3P in less than 5hrs. I'm hyped. Thanks to your video, I will be showing up confident with a checklist and feeling even more confident after completing the checklist. I subscribed. Thank you.
Also, for anyone curious on delivery time. Delivery time took 12 days from the time I paid the $250 order fee. Lightning fast.
Congratulations!
My MYP is being delivered over the next week.
This is an AWESOME video! I am so glad it showed up in my playlist 😃
I know you spent A LOT of time putting this together…You are doing a great service to humanity!
Be Encouraged and God Bless You, Young Man 🙏🏾🕊️✝️
Congrats, you’re going to love it!
Tesla needs to hire this guy to lead the quality department
🙏🏾
I’m picking up my Model X next week, and I’m sure that your video will prove to be helpful even though it’s a different model than yours. I’ll print out your checklist too. Thanks for posting this video, and I’m looking forward to watching your other videos. Thanks!!!
Congrats on your Model X, the list should work well, the X has more features but it should be easy to just test everything before you leave =)
@@MikeSeuss thank you!
Thanks for the video. It will be good to know that all parts like battery and screen and chip are really up to date accordingly to the 2022 model (or if the factory used out of date parts)
I’ll definitely be updating this!
Thanks Mike! My car is coming in next month and was worried I would miss something. Now I feel informed!
Congrats and I’m glad I could help!
Hi Mike , Great video, I will be getting my M3P in December. Greetings from West Australia .
Awesome congrats!
Thanks man. I downloaded your checklist, printed it out, and will be using it. Appreciated!
Awesome
Thumbs up! This is such a comprehensive check list. Thanks and good job!
You’re very welxome
Really appreciate this video Mike! Very detailed, clear and helpful both verbally and visually. I subscribed because of this video! 🙏🏽
Do you have any additional items to cover for a 2022 Model S given the rear screen, Yoke steering and other features? I expect delivery the week of Aug 26
Thanks and congrats, there are differences with the S but overall the checks should be the same. For the rear screen I would do what you can to make sure everything works there as intended. Hopefully I’ll get to make an updated video for the S and X in the near future!
Very very good and helpful video!!!!way to go Mike !!!!!❤️👍🏼
😀
Thanks, Mike! You really are very helpful. Well done!
Thank you!
@@MikeSeuss, November 6th, I drove my 2014 Toyota Avalon to a Tesla dealership and test drove a Model 3 Performance. I was very impressed! It was like going from a flip phone to an Apple iPhone 13. As I drove the Model 3 through the traffic, I began to feel sorry for the slow ICE cars all around me. My Tesla will be delivered before Christmas.
Haha I know the feeling, Congrats, what a nice Xmas gift!
This is my first EV car, I am going to pick it up next Monday! I was so worried before I watched your video. I found this video really helpful! Hope Everything goes smooth. Thank You again Mike.
No problem, I hope it goes well!!
Glad to see this video, I will get my MYLR this Thursday. Hope everything will be in place and in a good shape.🙏🏼
Congrats, I hope it will be useful!
Thanks so much, Mike! I’m looking forward to picking up my Tesla, and you provided a thorough and succinct overview on what to look out for when picking it up.
You’re welcome and congratulations
Mike your video and list saved discovery day for a Tesla 3. Here's my list Two bolts missing from under the body near front door, two roof column panels needed adjusting, Scuffs along the seat. Thanks for the help. Your videos are great
Glad to help and hope you've gotten it all sorted out!
Appreciate the video homie. Saw the NC tag. I’m in nc and pick up my Y performance model TODAY!
Congrats!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I watched the whole thing and I am going to use your checklist when I pick up my new Tesla. You got a like and subscribe from me
Thank you! I’m glad you’ve found it helpful!
Concise, incredibly helpful for someone like me reluctant to initiate an order, and informative!
I’m happy I could help!
Wow! Great video. Glad I found this before I get my Tesla in January. Thanks!
Definitely will come in handy, congrats!
Taking delivery of my Tesla today!! Thanks for the checklist.
Congrats I hope everything goes smoothly!
How'd it go? Use the checklist?
Delivery was absolutely perfect! The checklist really helped. I took my time and went over everything. I am very very happy!
So well done! Thanks!!!
Np!
Wish I saw this before picking up our Model X. This was excellent! Every new Tesla owner should see this. I am going to share with others.
Very much appreciated!
Picking up my used M3 from Tesla in a couple of days. Thank you for this!
Awesome congrats, and you’re welcome!
Excellent video Mike and thanks! Just wanted to add that nowadays it's all contactless delivery. You can check your car at the location or take it home and let Tesla know at the earliest (via app) about any issues. There will be no Tesla rep doing a walkthrough with you. Reason- very high volume and no time to do walkthroughs...
Thanks for updating me on this!
Excellent, thank you so much !
You’re very welcome!
Very helpful, thanks!
Not a problem!
LOL! They put a FORD COMMERCIAL towards the end of your TESLA demo! Great video Dr. Seuss! Thanks for showing what we need to look for and be aware of.
Wow haha
Excellent video, very helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome, video. Parked outside the dealership right now, watching. Anyone needing help you're gunna wunna watch this entire video immediately. Thanks, Brotha
You’re welcome!
Thank you Mike! looking forward to tips and tricks next!
More videos coming soon!
Thanks, Mike. This video was super informative to pre-inspect Tesla before tagging delivered in the system.
Welcome!
Thank you Mike! SUPER HELPFUL! Picking up my Model Y next week
Awesome congrats
Thanks for the exhaustive list! It's sad that we have to inspect the car this way. I have done this during pickup and found a good number of issues. Better to take care of it during warranty period. 👍👍
👍🏾
Take a shot every time he says "gonna wanna" haha, Good video!
Drunk yet?
getting my second tesla this month :)
model 3 P this time, very excited
That’s awesome congrats
Best review pre acceptance!. I will be using-😀
Good job
Thanks!
