First I want to thank all in the forum fort sharing such great information. I feel I was well informed going into my pickup yesterday (MYLR, induction wheels, Red, tow hitch). I live in Paso Robles on the CA Central Coast, about 120 miles from my nearest Tesla SC. One is about 120 miles north in Monterey (Seaside - the one I chose) and one about 120 miles south in Santa Barbara. So I was motivated to try to have any issues resolved at pickup time.
The quality of the car checked out nicely. Minor paint issue that the sales advisor took care of right away with some alcohol and a rag. Other items seemed in good shape. Two issues cropped up. When I drove away I heard quite a loud rattle from the back. I diagnosed it might be something in the rear hatch. I turned around and headed back to the SC. Even though I had only been of the lot 5 minutes, the SA's first request was that I file a service request through the app. Fortunately when I explained I lived 120 miles away he put somebody on it and had it fixed in 10 minutes. (It was a loose bolt inside the lift gate securing a metal support brace.)
It was a great first drive home. I love the suspension on the MY as I am used to suspension on a sports sedan, being loyal to BMW with 8 of their cars over 30+ years. But I twice experienced phantom breaking with Autopilot. It was a sunny day, there was nobody around me in either case, and no overpasses. The was nobody behind me either, so no ultimate harm, but just a bit unnerving. Again, I knew about this issue from the forum so I didn't worry about it; I only hope Tesla can figure it out and update with a SW fix.
Loving it so far!
