This is for the dealer to complete that is selling us the vehicle, correct?

 

[mspxihuo]

+2 for sticky of this list.

 

[sockmeister]

Nice list. I've bookmarked it.
Might be worth mentioning the wheels, and brake rotors, too -- check them for scratches, rash, scoring and bends.

 

[KAustin]

This if for the dealer to complete that is selling us the vehicle, correct?

No, this is for you to complete at delivery.

I have never done such a thorough check as I bought/leased cars on instinct and never had an issue. That said, this is so useful and I will definitely use it (printed already.. lol). Thank you for sharing!!!

All the best with your car and I am looking forward to sharing driving experiences. My ETA is Feb 22.

This is fantastic! Definitely pinned. Perhaps HTML formatted as a table with checkboxes?
Has this been cross-checked against the dealer’s pre-delivery checklist? It would be nice to see how much of this the dealer is supposed to be doing so that we know where we are cross-checking them.

 

[Mirak]

I’m not mocking the attention to detail. Really, I’m not. But it does make me grin imagining anybody showing up at the dealership with this list on a clipboard and methodically checking through each item.... Ideally first donning a pair of gloves and some goggles with those little mounted flashlights. Hopping down to check the tire pressure. Maybe bringing a torque wrench along for some random nut inspection.

I do fully expect to be returning to the dealer a couple of times in the first few months to work through issues, and I’m not sure any checklist is going to avoid that. Obviously I appreciate that it’s best to identify issues before you drive it off the lot. So again, not poking fun but this does make me smile.

 

[Davedough]

This is far more thorough than I have ever been but I have to say, I like it. Thanks for putting in the work. I’ll be doing this. I wonder if I sent this to the dealer before I picked it up and told them I’ll be running through these things if they’ll take more precautions during setup

 

[Macheeee]

Awesome! Will use this. Can you add a link to your financing spreadsheet and incentives?

Nice check list. Always easy to take things out if you feel something is overkill.

• SOC 100%?

Can you briefly explain what this is, and how you might check it?

 

[Maquis]

Can you briefly explain what this is, and how you might check it?

SOC = State Of Charge - should be evident on the display.
