I'm pretty sure you would have a hard time doing this at my local Costco, especially on the weekend

Being able to do that in a Costco parking lot would easily make it the best A.S.S. I have ever seen

I have seen some other videos of A.S.S. and it looks really good. Only draw back right now seems to be its limited in distance it can travel to you.

Dropped my wife’s 3 for the roof repair yesterday and it was at a new facility in Warminster PA. It was very nice! Parking lot was huge, service/repair facility had plenty of space for expansion, and everything was very clean. They also gave these to us for the kids

Womp womp - they damaged the headliner while replacing the roof and didn't have a spare in stock. 1 day repair is now a 1 week repair. We're heading over to get a loaner tomorrow

At least you get a new headliner, so it's not all bad news

True. they were very apologetic about it and offered us a brand new X loaner, but my wife's going to be driving it and likes smaller cars

Nope taking a pre-refresh 3. I might swap to the Y and do a costco run in it instead

Service center damaging interior parts infuriates and sadly it's common.

Always a joke on the Tesla forums about taking cars in at your own risk because you get one thing fixed and they will break something else in the process. I’ve had my share of service center visits and at least I can say they never broke anything on my car.

I Guess that's why a Tesla tech who came last year to rotate my tires didn't want to touch my aftermarket aero covers 🤣

No tech will ever touch my Tesla unless I have no choice like a component failure. And even then if it's not major I'll fix it myself Tesla's are VERY easy to work on.
