Finally took delivery yesterday. Mostly still in disbelief. Huge shoutout to the MDR delivery team who made a big deal about it with lights, a fog machine, and a whole presentation. (Side note: Kimbal Musk's Vin #0 was parked next to mine). Interestingly it came with almost 40 miles on the OD. Apparently all of these early builds go through extra testing at Giga Austin to work out any potential kinks.
Build quality is perfect. No panel gaps or mismatched panels to speak of. Feels really solid generally, better build quality than my F-150, Model X, and even your average modern Mercedes. Nothing compares to actually driving the real thing. All reservations or concerns I had vanished once I was behind the wheel.
Also, the AWD is fast. Really fast. Feels much quicker than a 4.1 0-60, makes me feel good about not getting the beast.
They didn't lie– the fingerprint marks are no joke. I didn't want to wrap it until I saw how bad it really is. Considering doing Tesla's clear satin PPF.
Headlights are plenty bright. I personally don't understand what people are complaining about. The headlight angle is also fully adjustable (yes, they're adaptive).
The drive-by-wire feels intuitive and natural, there was no learning curve as others have mentioned.
Hoping everyone gets VINs soon!
