Yup. Can confirm my dealer missed mine. Drove home 65 miles on them. Noticed the car was sitting a bit high and thought, "well that is strange". Took a look and there they were. I did go on record with my dealer that they were there - but I just jacked the car up a bit and cut them off myself.

Related note to all of this. If the suspension blocks were missed, there is a good chance your tires are still inflated at 54 PSI for shipping purposes (mine were, but I forgot to post about that back in December).

Picking mine up today. Good catch! I’ll be sure to check before leaving the dealer

This is great info to have in this thread...

I'm picking up my FL5 tomorrow. Anything else I should be on the look out for before I drive away from the dealership?

The transport blocks are certainly something to look for; however, I suggest thoroughly inspecting the car prior to leaving the dealership. I know it may be difficult based on the time of collection and overall excitement, but take a good look at the car to ensure no damage or items need to be addressed. Getting the dealership to correct issues found once you drive away is a battle you will likely lose. This isn't specific to the FL5 and this practice should be applied to any new vehicle collection.

Make sure the kit under the rear cargo tray has your tow hook and tire compressor.
congrats btw. I have about 5k miles and 8 months of ownership and really love this car.

Same thing happened to me! Probably had 100 miles on the car since I bought it out of state. Kept looking at it in my driveway thinking, "wtf is the front end so much higher than the rear???" Lol went and looked and cut those suckers out!

Just checked the tire pressures on my new FL5 today, after picking it up the other night.

53 PSI.

Now you have me worried that they missed the suspension blocks too. Gonna go check.

Edit...

Nope, no suspension blocks. They at least remembred to remove those.
