Pro Tips for Delivery Day

Schedule Plenty of Time

Allow at least 2-3 hours for your delivery appointment. Don't rush through the inspection.

3

Test Drive First

Take a test drive before completing the paperwork. Listen for unusual noises and test all features.

4

Take Photos & Videos

Document everything, especially any defects. This helps if you need to file a service request later.

Check in Daylight

Schedule your delivery during daytime hours to properly inspect paint and exterior condition.

Report Issues Within 24 Hours

Any issues found after delivery should be reported via the Tesla app within 24 hours.
