Feel free to print this out and bring it, along with a pen. Don't feel like you need to rush through the inspection. The delivery team at Tesla will certainly seem like they want to move quickly, but you don't need to leave the lot until you're 100% satisfied. Take your time.

SECTION A - Verify pre-delivery vehicle records

  • 1. Check for the correct full name and address on your paperwork.
  • 2. Confirm the vehicle's VIN matches your paperwork.
  • 3. Check the vehicle's display screen for any information that does not match the vehicle (found by tapping the Tesla "T").
  • 4. Verify that the vehicle's Moroney record matches your configuration.

SECTION B - Exterior inspection

  • 1. Verify that the vehicle's body color, interior, and wheels match what you configured.
  • 2. Inspect body exterior paint for defects. NOTE: This should really be the only item which should cause you to reject a delivery; most other issues can be easily addressed in a separate service visit.
  • 3. Inspect vehicle underside (front and rear) for signs of scraping, or damage.
  • 4. Check for any obvious body panel misalignment, or large gaps.
  • 5. Inspect wheel rims for damage.
  • 6. Inspect all glass for signs of distortion, scratches, or cracks.
  • 7. Check for proper windshield and windshield trim installation.
  • 8. Inspect all edges of the roof glass panel and rear window.
  • 9. Test all doors to ensure they open and close without unreasonable effort or sound. Check paint in areas such as door hinges, that are not visible when doors are closed. NOTE: Some deliveries have reported incomplete body painting in hidden areas.
  • 10. Test opening and closing of trunk and frunk. Check paint in areas that are not visible when frunk and trunk are closed. NOTE: Some deliveries have reported incomplete body painting in hidden areas.
  • 11. Check for the towing eye under the frunk mat.

  • 14. Check all front and rear exterior lights for signs of internal condensation.
  • 15. With all doors open, inspect the weather seals around door gaps and windows. NOTE: Some deliveries have reported seals being "overlapped" incorrectly. This is easily fixed by hand in a few seconds, but worth noting.

SECTION C - Interior inspection

  • 1. Check for any error messages on the display screen.
  • 2. Touch the "Tesla T" at the top of the screen to bring up the "About Your Tesla" window. Tap the unicorn drawing to access the Sketch Pad. Leave the Sketch Pad up for a minute to make sure there are no phantom touches happening on the display.
  • 3. Gently test the driver and passenger door emergency release.
  • 4. Check all 4 windows to ensure they open and close properly.
  • 5. Inspect interior seat upholstery, door surfaces, dash, headliner & carpets (including passenger compartment, frunk, and trunk).
  • 6. Check left and right clothing hook operation.
  • 7. Check all seat belts for proper operation.
  • 8. Check the rear seats for proper fold-down operation.
  • 9. Test the sound system to ensure all speakers are working (move fade/balance to all four points to verify)
