I'm taking delivery of our Model 3 long range early this week. Any suggestions for what I should make sure to look for during the inspection or process?

Any suggested accessories other than charging (which is already in the works)?
 
Check your trip meter and use the last one as a lifetime miles and kWh accumulator. Reset it for your ownership.

If it doesn't have rubber floor mats, they are a good idea.

Consider getting a glass coating that can block air. If you get a rock hit, the coating can limit air access that grows the crack.

Not really related, but as I understand it, my cell phone acts as my car key. Also, there are credit card sized cards that can be used. If you lose one of those cards, say in the garage at work, and you want to do the equivalent of re-keying the car in case someone finds that card, how big a deal is that and how expensive is it?

One of my two key cards failed. So I'll get another next time I'm at the service center. As for devaluating a lost card, my Prius and BMW 'memorized' the RFI number of the valid cards. I suspect Tesla can invalidate them over-the-air. But there is the optional "PIN to drive."

So even if someone scarfs my key cards and cell phone, without the PIN, the car won't work.

I've heard complaints about Tesla finish, panel misalignment, etc. Just want to say that mine was perfect. Maybe that will reduce the stress level for someone. Yeah, I know, let's not talk about statistics.
 
Bob- I don't see how to send a personal message, so I'll put it here: You should see 1000 miles of charging now, since I used your referral code. Thanks for answering my questions along the way.
 
Thank you. FYI, there has been a change in the referral program. Regardless, I appreciate the honor.

I see 1,000 in my account and assumed they are there only because I used your code. Since the change was made in September and the original order was placed in July, you ought to receive them, I'd think.
