After waiting for over a year and 2 months, it was finally delivery day. So I brought out my checklist and the guy helping me was like, “checklists are great, but we have checked this vehicle many times”. Within the first 3 minutes, I found some issues. He was mad that they missed them. Not a big deal, but his cockiness was interesting. Overall, it was a great experience and I created a ticket to get the items all fixed. Here are my initial impressions:
Found a minor alignment problem with the passenger door and some paint bubbles on the seam. Those are easily fixed.
The Premium Sound System is great - I love music so audio is very important to me. Played some tracks through the native Apple Music app and there were no issues. My son without being prompted said the radio sounded great.
The third row cubbies are gone. Replaced with the two cup holders with usb-c in one of them.
Headliner is not the luxury suede. Replaced with a typical headliner that is found in other vehicles.
It was missing the tray that goes over the spare tire area. I put in a ticket so hopefully they didn’t cut that cost.
Dynamic Glass Roof is an interesting feature. Works well, but when turned to the clear state, it is a little hazy and not super clear. Sun was setting when I got the car so I will see what kind of heat it gives off.
When trying to use Apple Music for the first time, be sure to connect your phone via Bluetooth first. It is not a stand alone feature.
My boy loves the interior and kept saying how comfortable it is. He said the third row is more comfortable than that of our model X.
I had a blast showing off Sport Mode. His face lit up and screamed, “YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
