I took delivery last week and haven't posted much. Not sure what i can add to this thread anymore. J/K! I'm here for you all, in spirit.

Delayed vin got you upset?Take it out on Elon's couch

Yes, your car will come with a J1772 adapter. It will also come with a USB drive. On delivery, check to make sure the car has both. However, your car will NOT come with the mobile charger. I bought one before delivery direct from Tesla separately from my car purchase. And yes, i got an...

And we are still waiting for dyno results for this car too. The previous gen M3P was a Tesla claimed 455hp, but dyno results came in at ~520hp. With this new M3P Tesla claims "more than 500hp" on their (U.S.) website. Interested to see what this car ACTUALLY makes.

Around here there some tint shops that give "Ticket guarantees" included in the price or some do "Ticket insurance" for an extra charge. Basically, if you get a fix-it ticket for illegal tint they installed, they'll remove the tint so you can get your ticket signed off on, then they will...

Regarding exterior colors, I'm the opposite of the person who wraps their car in neon green. I want a car that disappears into the crowd so I'm not noticed while i'm engaged in constant Insane mode antics. Stealth Grey is the closest solution for that.

1) For me: 1 week. But this doesn't mean much so don't bank on it since when the previous EDD window update happened, it was a 3 week push out from late May to late June. So that happens and i think I'm screwed and then a week later i get my vin and then 3 days after that scheduled delivery...

I've never had a problem with tinted windows OR lack of front license plate driving anywhere in SoCal with city cops in any of the cities here. It's the CHP who have always hassled me with both tint and no front plates. If there's no one speeding and no one driving solo in the HOV lane, I guess...

Mine had some minor scratches in low in the quarter panel, area size about 1" x 1" I would estimate. I thought to myself if I tell them to fix it, it will just be a Tesla service tech in the back to buff it out with who knows what their skill level is, I'll just take it to a detail shop I trust...

You mean "Air80" or "Air90" on the windshield? Looking forward to pics!

XPEL? LLumar? 3M? Or other?

The real controversy for us in CA is: what will we do once we get the plates. Since CA vehicle code (5200 through 5206) states both front and rear are required, will people go without the front one cause they hate the look? After i got a fix it ticket for it, rather than switch to drilling...

In CA a few years ago they instituted temp assigned plates because when you left the lot with a new car, it was just an advertisement plate on the back with the temp registration paperwork taped to the front windshield. I'm not sure why this happened, my guess is for identification reasons. I...

This is what irks me about these "automotive journalists" First, allow me to clarify: i think offering fake engine sounds that are defeatable are a fantastic idea. You can turn them on and pick different engine sounds, great. Seems like a fun idea, and many enjoy it. More options for the...

If anyone is curious, my final documents showed 15 miles on them when i picked up and accepted the car and accepted the documents. When i drove off the lot it had 6 actual miles on it.

Is there conclusive evidence of this? I am curious to know if this is the case.....

Yes, it's there.

Oh, i forgot about the indicators. Takes some getting used to where in relation the left or right button is. Not a big deal to me. I know this is an anger point for some. And these are not capacitive/resistive touch buttons; underneath the arrow are actual switches you can feel a positive...

I took delivery of my car yesterday! Wow, what a blast yesterday driving this car around. I won't bore everyone with the same "it's fast" stuff you heard so i won't go much into that. But I'll try and go over a few things that i haven't heard much about yet you'll want to know: 1) When going...

Only time there are not family members home, then we're on vacation and my car is in the garage. And when we do go on vacations we disable the opener completely. It's what i do, i know, I'm anal about stuff too. And to add to security, If you were to look at my garage door emergency release...

If someone breaks into my car and steals the car, then I'll know. Takes 2 seconds for me to go to my opener and wipe out all paired remotes. And then re-pair each car back into the opener. If someone breaks into my car, and doesn't steal it but is looking in cubbies and glove boxes for...

I may do this as it would seem more convenient than having to go into an app every time to operate the garage door. But for me i like the clean simple interior look without it so I'll probably take the clip off of it then double sided tape it to the back of the screen so it's easy access to...

Wait, what am i missing? I have the MyQ app on my phone and when i go into the app i can open or close the garage door from wherever i am by hitting the button. The app was free to download and there are no subscription fees to allow me this control. It's free and works how i need it. I guess...

I believe they put the ability to turn regen fully off in track mode only. Probably allows tesla to shield the loss of EPA range from doing this since it's only a track mode option is my guess. I was curious to see about fully turning off regen because my wife told me she doesn't want to even...

End of June is not far from now. Tesla needs to prove that Q1 fiasco was because of line shut downs for Highland and then the delays for white interior for Highland. They need a strong showing for their Q2 earnings for their investors. Elon can't do any of his crazy robotaxi, neural implant...

After you get a VIN everything changes. After i got my vin i was able to text the SA from the # they texted me on earlier requesting me to provide the MVPA doc to my lender. In which i then texted the SA back telling them i needed an email address to send them a Dealer Funding form from my...

I messaged Tesla in the app about 4 days ago. Still no response back. I got better response time from subsequent texts and emails.

I also have delivery scheduled for tomorrow. I'll take some pics and try and report back some at least some unique info that hasn't been said yet to be of some value and interest for everyone. Very excited as I've owned a few sports cars over the years but this will be my first EV ( owned a Ford...

Your video on the double payment made me think twice about electronic payment to Tesla. Good info to know. Luckily i can make final payment with a Cashiers check in CA. That would be a video i would recommend others to watch before completing their delivery/pick up.

In the 10's! Now let's see once on a prepped strip how deep into the 10's this car can get.

Wow! And this is not a high 10.9x but a low 10.9x!!!! Very telling... So maybe a 10.8x or maybe in the 10.7's at a prepped strip?

To add to what jennieR said, my .02 is that by the time when the vin is assigned to you, that process is 100% A I. driven. I've come to that conclusion because when i got my vin it was 4am on a Saturday. I know Elon works his employees to the bone, but is there really a human being at Tesla at...

Says the person from a zero % sales tax state. Not paying sales tax is a total cheat code! If Tesla told me today that if i agree to not being charged $4,350 sales tax so that they can delay my order to October, where do i sign up for that! Yes please!

I hear what you're saying about early ordering. I ordered as soon as i could after release date, not so much for early delivery, as much as i was more worried about the price going up with initial demand cause there was many in the M3P speculation thread saying this car would be priced on...

Ordered, built, and delivered in five days. Wow! Congrats!!!!!

Feeling alot of animosity right now against California right now because of deliveries. Sure, I get it. Lay it on us. If it makes you east coasters feel any better we don't get a change in seasons here. (I think that's a big thing with them cause all my relatives in Michigan tell me they'll...

You bring up a point about resale that has me thinking in terms of battery chemistry. What would worry me if I'm in the used car market for either a M3SR or a more expensive M3P, which the way i am, i look at it like what's the worst the previous owner could do to the car. With ICE there's...

For the Ionic 5N, Car & Driver shows 3 seconds with a .2 second 1ft rollout omitted.

List of all cars faster than 2.9 sec? List may be longer than you think. Per WIKI i count over 40 cars? The real flex is having a new 2024 model car offered at under $70k that can do 0-60 in under 3 seconds. If there is another mass production car (ICE or EV) that meets that criteria I'd be...

It's also mentioned in the manual:

Congrats!!! How do you know its a girl? Just sayin, in this day in age you never want to assume things...

That's odd... Mine still shows it?

Why don't you switch and come over to our side? You know you want to....

Is that a NY requirement? This might be a state specific thing, but in CA you only need to secure insurance for the car within 30 days of taking delivery. The app only asks for proof of your current auto insurance policy. Not that you have secured auto insurance on this new, yet to be delivered...

Try swiping on the car the following pattern: left, down, right, right, down, left, left, left, and THEN down. 🎮

LOL - My mom's Lincoln Towncar absolutely rides better and is more comfortable than a M3P. No contest.

I hear ya. For what it's worth I've owned 3 BMW's over my life (1996 328i, 2010 M3, 2017 M240i) and ALL of them had some degree of orange peel.

I can agree with most of your concerns, especially the painting over debris, that doesn't sound good at all, while i would be interested in seeing a pic of that out of curiosity. Where i don't agree is your issue with orange peel. I get it, you don't want to have to spend the money after you...

Here's what happened to me a week previous to getting the vin: my EDD got pushed out from "May 25 - June 2" to a new EDD of "June 24 - June 30". It stayed at that late June EDD window until the vin populated. After the vin populated it went back to the late May early June window again. As...

Yes, refresh the app as that hits first. I got my vin at 4am Saturday when i checked it while up for my usual bathroom break. Last i checked it was 11pm the previous night and the vin wasn't yet there. So at 4am i saw the vin, then checked for an email or text from Tesla. Nothing. Later at...
