From the sound of it, seems all was good with the transmission you got, except the one month wait time (if they gave you a similar loaner for that time you would have been good?)?
Yea, the refurbished transmission ended up being fine and never leaked or broke in the 50K miles before I sold it but the experience of buying a new car and having a problem with a significant component replaced with a refurbished part before the new car smell was gone was not enjoyable. If they said they will replace with a new transmission, it would have felt better. When I was told the transmission would be a refurbished one, I asked will it be a fairly low miles one or one that had a lot of miles and had to be gone through a lot, I was told they don't know and it is whatever they receive.

In my previous car I blew (well... wore out) my own DSG transmission and it never felt the same after that, but I guess the more moving parts and power you have it's to be expected.

Not gunna happen... Last year (2023) was the year for S/X price drops.

What more are you expecting after a $30-40k reduction?

Free colors late last year, you missed it. Extra $1k Tesla Loyalty offer still on the table for some if you're a CT res. holder.

ON and OFF FSD and Unlimited Supercharging transfers as well... best it's gunna get.
Well that didn’t take long for this to age well 😝
 
Where?

And what is/was it for 60 months?
Mine was 72-months, there was a floor rate of 3.99% so no better for 60mo.

That rate is long gone now with Fed Choice... they would take a full 1% off the listed rate for new member loans.

Not sure that's still active or not, but maybe possible to get in the 5.5-5.6% range currently still.

At this point you'll get a VIN assigned within a day and production out of factory within a week so just wait to order.

One call and you think they are desperate? Freaking Hyundai has me on some automated AI text messenger that has hit me 42 times just because I called them about a car, they had none in stock at the lease deal I wanted $249 down and $249 a month for a IONIQ 6.... I can't get the damn thing to stop spam bombing me. They hit me like 4 times a day... Hi this is Samantha with Hyundai..... blah blah blah... we got a LRY for a steal instead...

You have to wait. At this point you will be forced to get delivery within 2-3 weeks or lose $250.

They have lots of inventory, so assignment of VIN would be immediately.

I put on stiff from the get-go and in 4 months haven’t felt the need to adjust but also have not done AB testing of medium to stiff. On really bad pot holes the car can feel jarring but is otherwise great and these are the times you want to slow down anyway. Also not sure if the stock bar would do better on really bad holes this is mostly a suspension jolt, the sway bar is not a shock absorber, it just keeps the roll in check and can help with more neutral steering feel. It has to do more with cornering forces and in my experience has a positive effect on most but the harshest road imperfections of keeping the rear movements in check.

Got mine installed recently, and it's on the medium setting. Smooth like butter in fast drives, and no issues on gravel roads.

Off topic....

For any of you DIY'ers, If you are interested in PPF and are not afraid to install it your self, check out this website. They sell all the piece's in precut form. I purchased the full door kit along with the A-pillars. Not bad at all. May not be Xpel or Suntek but for fraction of the price, I took a gamble and am super happy with the results. I did not install it, I found a PPF installer that did the install on the side for a couple hundred. I had the full front PPF'ed by a shop in Dallas and when I went back to see how much the doors would cost, they stated 475 PER DOOR! I got the entire 4 door kit plus A-pillar and door handles for under $390 from this site lol. I'm not affiliated, just passing along info and the savings incase you did not want to drop a ton on the sides for PPF =)

They usually will provide a 10-15% off as well.

I’m sorry but how legit can you be when you can’t get your website correct?

Full Rolls but your call to action and description says “mice?”
