So, I'm picking up our new car Friday. I guess compared to some the dealer we're using is relatively close - about 45 minutes away.
However, I was wondering what we should look for, or get the dealer to take care of before we leave. Don't really want to have to return in the near future.

The big thing I have at the moment is disabling the continual chime inside when reverse is selected. Any other tips?

Thanks - Bryan.

Be sure the tires have the right PSI. S/B 39 or 40 for best range.

I highly recommend having the reverse chime silenced. After 2-3 days of driving, I felt comfortable knowing when I was in reverse, and the constant chime just became annoying. It would have been better if it was limited to 3-5 “bongs” and then silenced, but thAt doesn’t appear to be the case.

That's awesome @monty congrats on picking up your Solterra! I'd recommend you take a close look at any dings or scratches that may have occurred during transport. Which model is your Solterra?

Fantastic news @bobleon39540 congrats! What spec is your Solterra?

 

[hkronald]

Also make sure they fully charge your Solterra. ^_^

red touring

I absolutely love the red, but I simply can’t live with a black interior. If there was an option for a lighter interior, I’d probably be waiting for a red Touring instead of owning the white Touring I have now.

But I’m good with the white…

Thanks, yes pretty excited - and hoping there's no buyers remorse 😀. Also hoping that I'll be able to get that 15% discount next year when I file my taxes - but that's another thread 😁.

It's a carbon gray limited. It's been on order so long I couldn't have told you that without double checking my emails 😃

Are those tire pressures the same for the 18 in nd 20 in. tires?

I intend to make sure they only charge the battery to 80%.

 

[Whoabear]

I think from other's experience it would be good to see if they could test the 12v battery for you to make sure it is performing well, and check the tires to see if they developed flat spots. Mainly if your car sat during the great pause.

Can you post photos of your Red Touring from several angles. I'm getting a Red Touring as well and have been itching to see real photos.

Don't know, you would have to check the inside door sill. I like to have them about 1 or 2 PSI higher for best efficiency and to allow for colder weather when PSI drops.

I am planning on it.

Red is the best Solterra color

Just check REAL quick to make sure you have the V2 Lug Bolts. Some BZ4Xs didn't get them, allegedly.

Getting closer! My car landed at the dealership last night. Picking it up on Feb 11 (vacation between now and then).

 

[KSchneider]

Great to hear!! Now hoping your "estimated delivery" + 2 days is also our delivery. We have a different complication in pick up opportunities if it is much later.
