I picked up my "sleeper" white P3D with 18 inch aeros today. The day started out badly when I got a call from the delivery center an hour before the appointment time telling me they'd found a scratch on the driver side rocker panel and asking if i wanted to delay the delivery while they fixed it (est 5d) or take delivery and have it fixed later.
I went to the delivery center (not in the best of moods given the news) to check out the car. They were very apologetic and let me check out the car outside in the sun in detail before deciding what to do. In the end I decided to take the car and get it fixed in a week or two. Other than the small scratch the car seems perfect and I reason that a couple of weeks will give time for any teething issues to show up and have them fixed at the same time as the scratch.
Despite starting out in a bad mood the delivery experience was actually very enjoyable and Fernando at the MDR delivery center did a great job of making it painless and giving me as much time as I needed. A tidbit I heard while I was there is that Elon picked up his personal white on white P3D at MDR earlier this week.
The car itself is fantastic and everything I hoped it would be. I've barely started exploring the performance yet, but the acceleration is intense and the car feels incredibly planted even with the stock 18 inch rims and tires. No issues to report other than the brake warning light showing up for a couple of minutes each time I start the car which i see is a known firmware issue that's fixed in the next version.
FWIW I had a hard time programming my garage door opener to homelink. The trick for me seemed to be holding the remote actually slightly under the front bumper while doing the programming. Perhaps my remote batteries are just slightly weak.
