Re: My own Tesla Model Y - New Car Detail
Looks really good to me. Enjoy it!
It's a little disconcerting that you say Teslas arrive scuffed, hammered and dented, and that seems normal.

To me as well. I spent a lot of time going over this car to make sure it wasn't damaged before I took delivery. But yah, look at the Tesla forums and you'll see tons of stories of cars arriving in awful shape. They make a cool car, but their distribution and fulfillment is not great.

Nice job..it appears your more a sealant guy than a coating.

Thanks man. Yes I haven't made the leap to coatings yet. The time might be right though. I have an M3 coming in a few months.

We just took delivery on this new Tesla Model Y for my wife. Overall, we love this car, but of course I needed to spend the day with it first before she could drive it. I did my typical new car routine including decontamination, polish, and sealant. I know Tesla has a reputation for poor new car delivery. It's not uncommon to see them arrive scuff, hammered, and even dented. This one was pretty damn good. It had a few defects that needed correcting, but otherwise it was great. Except, it had by far the worst iron contamination I have ever seen! It's like they stored this car in a rail yard. I had to do several rounds with IronX and Adams Iron spray to get rid of it.
This is exactly where most cars are stored before delivery to the dealer.
I work for a dealer (Ford), and I am in charge of all new arrivals. I talk with all of the delivery drivers, and they tell me the holding pens are directly adjacent to rail terminals. (Which makes perfect sense from a logistical standpoint).
But yeah, I see cars/trucks arrive to us that are covered with so much rail dust that they appear brown.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Is your dealership as empty as all the dealerships here?

Yes, it is.
It’s nation-wide.
