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

[EmJay]

Interesting. Mine look like the keycards from my 2020 MYs.

They brought a sealed 2-pack of keycards out to the CT. I wonder if mine didn’t have its CT keycards on delivery and they subbed in these? I’ll swing by the SC and ask. It’s not like I use the keycards much, haha!!

Thanks for the link!!

I didn’t even notice mine until someone mentioned it online. Also kinda cool, I never knew this, but I was told one card can do all your Teslas. I’ve been carrying around a card for each one for years.

Thanks for posting the pic!! I thought I was going crazy, haha!!

Yes, one card, all Teslas. The phone key also works across all three of ours. Very underrated feature. I always pair all cards with all cars. That way, no matter which one I grab, I know it will work.

I’ve always had the key cards just in case but the phone key is one of my favorite features. Because of it, I have no keys whatsoever. My house is automated too. Phone and wallet and out the door.

What accessories have you added so far?

I got NIB molle panels from another member here for $400. So those.

The AO center caps/covers.

I’ll install an AO matte glass screen protector once they get them in-stock.

And if they give me the $2,500: the vault divider, a set of the overpriced bins, air compressor ultra, ramp, and whatever else I can find to get to $2,500, haha!!

How about you? 3 weeks in, any major issues??

very nice. Those cap and covers are mandatory with what they gave us.

I did the matte screen protector right away before it got dirty. Caps and covers. Tesla frunk mesh and then a truck bed mesh netting. She goes in for wrap and tint tomorrow.

I’ve already got a cart full waiting for my voucher—both molle panels, bumper protector, mud flaps, a bike rack for my X, the home charger (figured why not) and I’m gonna wait until the roof rack comes available to add and hit send.

Nice!! I’ve got the frunk mesh/L-track, too haha!!

I’m off to the tint shop this morning. 70% windshield and all rear glass, 35% front doors/triangles, no roof. I’ll rock SS for a bit to see how I like it, but the wraps look so good on CT’s, I’m not sure how long I can hold out, haha!!

Post a pic or two when yours is done!!

Congrats!!!

I bet owning a CT is a surreal experience.

I am still amazed that the concept actually made it to production. I was 95% convinced that the Cybertruck was never going to make it to market due to compliance and SS manufacturing challenges.

Once volume production and the more affordable $62k RWD trim go into production you are going to see CT's everywhere.

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 Tizen 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, Did you see any sharp edges in your CT?

Love to hear successful delivery stories! Congratulations, brother! I'm sure you'll be enjoying this experience for life

None, and I checked (very carefully, haha!!).

 

[skinzy]

Congrats! Great review. What I don't get is I've had my CT for three weeks now loving every minute. I ordered day 3. Wonder why I got mine first?

‘Who knows, haha!!

The weirdest thing for me is this RN (RN1128xxxxx) is higher than my first (RN1127xxxxx)! My lower RN is still sitting at “We’ll contact you when ready…” haha!!

Congratulations on the delivery. I took delivery of mine in Upland as well back in March. It was a flawless delivery and a great experience.

The delivery team was fantastic and the truck has been perfect since the day I brought it home.

That's the big secret. The entire thing is EDGY AF!


Sorry, taking delivery in upland Sunday and this whole thread is making me jittery.
