If you’re picking up a new Tesla, this is the quick checklist I always recommend doing before you drive off the lot. In this short, I walk through the main areas I’d inspect at delivery so you don’t get home and realize something’s off. The goal is simple: catch the easy-to-miss stuff while you’re still at the Tesla store, when it’s easiest to document and get it addressed. I cover the basics like confirming your paperwork is correct, then doing a solid exterior walk-around for paint issues, panel gaps, and anything that looks misaligned. After that, I move to the doors and interior—checking fit and finish, making sure everything opens/closes smoothly, and that the cabin looks clean and “new” like it should. Finally, I call out connectivity: make sure the car and your phone/app pairing are working before you leave. My biggest tip is to slow down, be thorough, and resolve anything you find on-site so your delivery day stays exciting instead of turning into a follow-up headache.
