Just took delivery in Upland (05/30) AWD - Initial Thoughts

[EmJay]

What type of coating did you go with?

Ya know what—never asked lol. I’ve got to schedule application of the FS badging soon and I’ll inquire and post back.

Hello everyone,

Yes, yet another initial review from a regular joe.

Owned EVs since 2014, and 2x Tesla MYLRs since 2020.

Order on reveal day (RN1128xxxxx)
Invite 01/18
Configure 03/15 (AWD)
VIN 05/09
Delivery Text 05/25
Delivery 05/30

Initial Observations (VIN 113xx)

- Nearly flawless at delivery. Panel gaps, alignment, cleanliness, etc all tip-top. Was at ~95% SoC. Absolutely beautiful to walk up to it. I was in utter disbelief that the day had come. 1,652 days since reservation. Wow.

- It came with ALL FS accessories: Sun Shade, 2x L-track hooks, 1x L-track bottle opener, THE 4x VAULT D-RINGS!!, carpet mats, all-weather mats, mobile charger, smugglers bay dividers, center console tray. No wheel covers of course, but I was told that they would be shipped directly to my home when ready.

- The d-rings are very easy to unfold/fold. IIRC, some noted that the first batch were very hard to open/close. These are perfect.

- Tonneau cover perfect (so far, haha!!). Opens/closes smoothly.

- Tail gate perfectly aligned both sides.

- Interior flawless. Spotless.

- Drive home was surreal. Smooth, fast, quiet. SbW and RWS simply can’t be appreciated unless experienced first-hand.

- Rear view isn’t an issue. Yes, rear view mirror is comically small. Screen view is just fine.

- UI speed improvement from Intel Atom (2020 MY) to Rizen is dramatic. Screen is beautifully crisp. Apps launch in an instant.

- I don’t know what the issue was with some posters re: window switch placement?? It’s fine. I’m 6’2” and sit back a bit, maybe that helps?? Total non-issue for me.

- Squircle is life. All other wheel shapes are now obsolete. Got used to no stalks in about 30 seconds.


I mounted Abstract Ocean’s center caps/lug covers. PERFECT color/texture match. They look OEM. I might be selling my wheel covers when they arrive, haha!!

That’s all for now. My 2020 MYLR will soon be listed for sale. It was the best car I’ve ever owned up to today.

The CT is just amazing, and I’m still processing that the 4 years, 6 months, and 7 days of waiting is over, and I actually get to drive this thing, haha!!

To all those still waiting, hang in there!! It’s worth it.

Congrats! glad you are enjoying your CT.
I am waiting for my delivery date. Tesla gave me a date on May 25, they sent me a text on may 24 evening at 7 pm saying that the delivery is delayed. up till now i did not get a delivery date. when I chat, they told me maybe this weekend. fingers crossed.
