• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

In a little pocket on the front of my owner's manual there is a little "receipt" that has the results of a bunch of checks they must have done (guessing at the factory). At the bottom is the date/ time stamp: 08-10-20 14:28:10

Anyone else have this little checkout receipt? Not sure if the date is August 10th or October 8th (I suspect the latter, but not sure). Does anyone else have this little receipt in your owner's manual and do you know if the date in in the format MM-DD-YY or DD-MM-YY?

Instead of going by some obscure piece of paper, look at the VIN sticker located on driver's door jamb. It will have built date right on there.

I have that paper too; guessing that’s the date those checks were completed

Ah ha! Thanks. Then my Telly was born on October 2nd 2020.

Yeah, that's pretty certain, and I'm guessing that date on mine in October 8th, since the plaque on the door jam says the build date is October 2nd. They must have done the checks a week later just before they shipped the car. The car arrived at the dealer in Texas on October 21st and I took delivery October 23rd.
 
That’s a great idea 👍
