Gravity Delivery Discussion

Been a busy weekend but I did pick up my GDE (#086) a few days ago, which was several weeks ahead of the updated expected delivery date after failing the final inspections before delivery. So far, it has met and exceeded all of my expectations; what a blast to drive! Same as most I only received the single fob but it has, knock on wood, worked flawlessly thus far. I have not had to use one of the cards yet.
I haven't tried charging (yet) but was able to get both garage doors programmed with homelink and have functioned as expected. The HUD, while still functionally limited, has also exceeded my expectations (admittedly my expectations were pretty low coming in). It was also delivered as I requested without the aero covers installed on the 21-22" wheels and with the lug and hub covers instead installed (seems to be some variation with this but I prepaid for the parts for this to happen). I was also surprised to see the DE bears were also not installed and delivered separately which will help a lot with the PPF install. I was told and expecting this to not be an option so was pleasantly surprised when it came this way.
As a bonus, and surprise to both me and my SA, the frunk came with a special gift; the DE funk seat! It was the first they had seen at the Denver studio. I will get the other fob and other DE gifts shipped to me later.
The only real "negatives" so far is there were 2 loose trim pieces in the trunk. I later found these are supposed to cover an area on the trunk lid near the taillight area. There was also some adhesive strips in this area but didn't seem to help much in holding the left and right trim pieces where they should go. I will leave these off until I need to have a service call for something more pressing. I can't recall but someone else may have a similar issue as well?
Also, moving the 2nd row seats back and forth sounds a little "rough" like something catches at times. It may be the multi-part trim pieces that expand out and contract. I have also heard some creaks and rattles from the 2nd row (nothing not already called out) but I'm wondering if these same plastic seat glide trim pieces aren't part of the issue.
Finally, I want to give a shoutout to my SA. While like most things in life, it can be hit or miss on the level of service and care you get but I really enjoyed my SA and felt like he went above and beyond on many occasions. I would definitely do business with him again in the future. At the same time, I feel for the others who have had subpar experiences with their SAs.
can you specify the "loose trim pieces"?
these are loose pieces i have

Maybe they are stopping to let all employees assist with the shipment of thousands of mini toy cars to future owners who are frustrated with delays.

LOL. I'm kidding, though not sure that "gift" is hitting the way they want it. Is it me or did that come off a little "calm down kids, here's some candy?" But I appreciated the email stating what we all knew. Sometimes, a little communication goes a long ways.

Hope this stop is for this crazy glitch preventing people access to their new REAL car...and they can start delivering in BULK soon. I'm so close to moving on to the Rivian...but love the Gravity so much. Let's go Lucid. ;-)
