Did you run into any issues on delivery day? Did you use our checklist? Let us know!

Great vid. It’s a pity, after spending £50k on a car, the customer has to check the car has been built correctly. You don’t need to do all these checks on a car half the price. A VW, Mazda, Peugeot, GM etc. Come on Ellon, get the Tesla staff trained, and make them responsible for the Pre Delivery Inspection. It has benefits, enhancing Teslas reputation, and giving feedback to the factories on recurring faults.

Why doesn’t Tesla service centers do something like this for each car?

Make sure all the seatbelts work. I test drove the Model Y Performance and my wife and younger son had to stay at the dealership because two of the 3 seatbelts in the rear seats didn't actually work. My older son road shotgun and nearly shit himself every time I floored it 😅

Nice walk around! Only correction is the cars no longer come with the 14-50 adapter. Have to buy it separately now.

Hi from CA, Just want to say thank you! I used your checklist when I picked up my M3 and it came really handy!

I still think it’s crazy you need a checklist and go over these cars like this. All the other cars I’ve bought in the past you just get the keys and go

Honestly the best delivery day video ever made. Giving every detail to pay attention to when delivery perfect video

Just printed this out for my delivery this morning of a 2021 M3P! Thank you!!

I had to drive 6 hours to get home from the Tesla dealer in NJ. When I got there to pick it up the dude moved the cone out of the way and said you’re good to go. He said “it’s self explanatory for the most part” It was the first time I had ever sat in a Tesla. I got in it and watched some KZfaq videos and drove back to Maine. Honestly I wouldn’t of had it any other way. Took me 1 stop on the way home to Maine. I’m sure if I had asked he would of done the whole show me every button thing but I prefer to figure it out on my own.

Thank you very much for this! This will really help when picking up my new Tesla! Please add: Check to make sure that a USB Flash Drive is Pre-installed in the Glove Box, at least it should be there for the Model S.

Awesome!! And that wrap color on the Y!! Stunning.

This was such a helpful video. Expecting to pick my Model 3 the day after. So excited to get my first Tesla ☺️

So thank you for the video, I was unable to find any downloadable or printable checklist. I’m not sure what’s going on there, but a lot of people said they couldn’t find the checklist either. Some said they found it, but it didn’t work, so I don’t know what’s going on there, but I wasn’t able to find it. I also noticed that you didn’t look at the seals, particularly around the doors, and so when I picked up my Model 3 back in 2018, I didn’t do much of an inspection, and so by the time I discovered a loose door seal underneath on the passenger side door, it was a year or so later and of course the car was out of warranty at that point. So make sure to check all door, and window seals, front trunk and rear trunk seals to make sure that they are tucked in properly, as well as the overhead pillars, because I had one come loose as it wasn’t properly secured, but all these problems was fixed by Tesla with no real issue, however, because by the time I discovered that seal on the right side of the door, it was well out of warranty and the guy wanted to charge me $140 just to put some glue on a seal. I said you got to be kidding me, I can do that myself, and that was the end of that conversation. So here’s the thing, your car is under warranty, and so you don’t have to panic because you took delivery and got home and discovered some issues that you did not see at the service center prior to accepting the delivery of the car, and so don’t let that ruin your delivery day experience with the folks at the service center. So barring any major issues that would be obvious to a duck, minor paint chips and scratches, shouldn’t become an issue where you are rejecting taking delivery of the vehicle, as these things can be easily documented as well as fixed, and so simply document what you have discovered and use the app and make an appointment to take your car into to the service center, as those things can be taken care of and Tesla is isn’t any different than any other manufacturer of products, particular one as complicated as a motor vehicle. So you’re going to experience some issues, but again don’t let that ruin your experience with your car. These things can be taken care of and barring some major issues, take delivery of the car, and realize that the car is under warranty, and that you can get these issues fixed, as Tesla isn’t any different than any other automobile, manufacturer when it comes to these issues, and all you need to do is use the app to make an appointment, and have these issues taken care of. Cheers 🥂

i really want to upgrade to a tesla model 3 but they seem so delicate and. I would expect a mass production car to be delivered perfectly. i have never had to check a brand new car for imperfections before.

Thanks Bro. This Friday I’m going to take my Model Y . Your list is very useful, gracias amigo . Greetings from Shanghai!

lmao, thank goodness i ordered mudflaps from you guys. Just got my Tesla this past weekend and as i was installing the rear passenger side one, i discovered all the nuts holding the wheel liner in place were half unscrewed

I placed my order for Tesla X Plaid but vids like these are giving me second thoughts but then I think about my SUV monthly gas bill, now stands @$1,000. No going back on decision.

Nice checklist. I think I've looked at maybe 4 of these so far and I like yours the best.

I like the lil pep talk at the end! We do deserve the best 😅

Ji Hoon! World is so small, I met him at Hawaii in college, such a good guy and very nice videos! Also pretty good at tennis 😅🌟 Keep up the good work!

Very useful hopefully picking up my tesla in the next few weeks will definitely use this

Your video and list is very thorough. I'm very glad I found this before getting my Tesla.

A car at that price point should not need a checklist.

tesla should bring that color back specially avail for MYLR

great video, used this when i picked up today!

I DO deserve the best. Thanks man!

Thank you so much! I'm getting my model 3 tomorrow and this is super helpful :)

Well explained.. I will keep this video in mind when I take delivery of my tesla3 in July. Thank you

So Tesla is basically using owners as their QC department. Haha they should be paying us for this.

Thanks Just got my M3 Your checklist was great Cheers

Thanks so much for this list. I should be getting my Tesla Model 3 next month. I'm really excited for it but also really nervous.

Thanks for this information. I wll be printing this to take with us to pick up our vehicle.

great checklist and help you stay on tract during the delivery inspection process. Nice Job

I’m watching this because I’m also going to pick up my vehicle that is six hours away. Hope nothing is wrong because it is a demo model.

Got a tesla model 3 standard range ordered in May super excited waiting is the sucky part lol!!! Oct to December latest

thanks a lot for the check list, will be for sure useful when the car delivered,

Thanks very much! Very useful

Thanks

With all the perfectionism Elon Musk is known for, I for the life of me can not believe that there are uneven gaps on the Tesla cars. Can someone shine a light on this for me please? Thanks

Thank you very much, the check list is very helpful

Wow! This is a great checklist and tutorial. Thank you!

Kinda sad that you pay 10-15k more for Tesla and they have these massive problems. They are minimal, but the amount is outstanding.

I’m going to share this checklist and your YT page of you don’t mind

Excellent information thank you

Doing gods work sir. Subscribed

It sucks how QC is poor

Excellent Video! Well done.

Awesome vid and checklist! Curious, how long does it take for Tesla to fix some of the more serious defects like panel gap misalignments , paint and glass issues, etc.

Great video, thanks so much

This is so helpful,thank you

Thank you!

I love how when they played the music you can see melanie martinez

The one dislike on this video is from Elon.

Old video, but I’m going through the same issue with built quality after picking up the MY today. I mentioned it to the SA and he said it became “acceptable” at Tesla for misalignment issue & I had to pay for it if I want to get I fixed. That comment ruined my whole pickup experience.

Wow. It seems you need time to check everything. It's like home inspection (Tesla Inspection Service) Tesla is not for me. I'm buying Acura TLX

Williamson! I live in Franklin TN! :)

“…because you deserve the best.” So honest! Super helpful! Thanks a ton!

Thank you, very good the job but the checklist is missing in the link above ?

Is the list from Tesla or your own? How long does it take to go through? I wish the delivery center did this.

Tesla should do the checklist before delivering the car to the customer. Poor customer service, for the high price you pay. No dealership

Thanks for the video! Do I accept the delivery if I find a list of problems / issues with the car? I ordered a Model Y for this month. Will they give me a hard time? How best to manage addressing the problems / issues with the car? - thank you

They didn’t let me inspect the interior without having to accept the car first. >_>

I'm going to guess the wiper hitting the hood is due to the incorrect fit of the hood on the front left.

And if I find something wrong I tell them when picking up?

Their QC is horrible!! For a 60k car?! Buyers shouldn't have to worry about exterior defects. A12k Kia or Hyundai have better quality than Tesla

Nema 14-50 is not included in my model y..

Why does only the front left door seem to have chrome (at 5:15)?

Very weird. I never checked my Porsche in dealership. Weirdest think Tesla always 60 mph on highway. Can that car go faster?

When you need a delivery checklist for a vehicle purchase you need to re-think the brand entirely. Unreal.

Have a Question: When you pay FULL amount money before Delivery or after checking in vehicle during Delivery day? If you found something outstanding during you check in and refuse to accept vehicle? Tesla will refund or you going to court? How it works?

If you lease, what are the checklist

I never thought I would find someone with my last name LOL. Anyways, very helpful video.

Extremely helpful checklist!

Fucking outrageous that the customer has to do the quality control process.

Super useful checklist, thanks for it

We gotta do all this ON delivery day? The sales rep told me a delivery driver will come with the car and they will take the trade in. Does that mean I have to spend 20 minutes or so inspecting the vehicle as he waits? Is anything that wasnt caught on delivery day still serviceable if I catch it after the fact or is accepting the delivery while not catching the defect finalized if wasnt flagged upon receiving? Im kinda nervous as my delivery is this week and this whole checklist thing seems very exclusive to tesla problems. Any response would be much appreciated!

Does the 2021 model come with the Nema 14-50 plug?

Question - can the service center fix various alignment issues you noted in the panel, hood, and light?

Hi quick question, if multiple problems are found with the car and you’re picking it up at the service center, could they technically fix it there before you drive it off the lot? I’d hate to notice all these problems and then have to drive off tbh

Where do i get the checklist? Thank you!

Hey how long is the pickup process picking up a new Tesla from the dealership on delivery day?

This is sad that a video like this exists. Tesla need to step up their game and not hand off responsibility of quality assurance to their paying customers. This is sad and makes me nervous about my order.

Are you saying the new cars come with nema 14-50s???

It comes with a 14-50 plug?

I plan on trading in my 2019 honda civic sport sedan in July/ Aug this year ( currently waiting our house to close escrow by then), do you anticipate MY price increases by then ?

Are the panel gaps fixable? Or should we reject the car?

Are the Teslas hand made or in cheap manufacturing unit somewhere in China? Why the body panel alignment issue? Also after paying about $ 50000 doing the pre delivery inspection is going to be very overwhelming. Am ok doing this PDI had it cost just about $15000. I need my peace of mind after paying $50000!

A brand new car should not have this many problems

BUY A TESLA SEEMS LIKE A LOT, ALOT OF WORK .... FUCK IT ILL WAIT TO THE KIA

Dose it come with NEMA-1450?

Thank you!
