Trim is often necessary where body panels meet dissimilar materials. Chrome is more durable than alternative finishes.

My one month trial expired last week. Gave it a try without, and decided I enjoyed the car more with. Renewed today.

Got my M3 last month. Noise in reverse is a high pitched whine, clearly audible. I can't hear anything in forward with windows down.

My orders all took 2-3 weeks. No tracking, no notifications, no response to emails, then they just showed up on my doorstep.

I have their gen 2 wireless phone charger, good quality and works fine. I think the gen 1 developed a compatibility issue with Tesla software. I bought via Amazon Prime, so no issues with tracking.

Tesla sells a flat tire kit that injects slime. Others, like me, carry a plug kit and compressor. Either will get you to a tire shop if you have a puncture or slow leak. Neither will work for a catastrophic tire failure, but those are relatively rare. You can handle 80% of issues yourself...

Don't get an impact socket and the walls will be thinner. It will hold up fine for a single job.

Boom! Just got a text notifying me that my car is in transit and to schedule delivery. I ordered a white SR+ on 10/17 for delivery in Florida. I did not complete my payment method until Saturday. On Sunday the SA emailed me to upload proof of insurance for any vehicle. Did that last night...

IMO nothing says "performance" like red.

Sounds good, enjoy!!

Buying out of state is no big deal. When you pick up, you get a 48 hour "drive out" registration that says you are exempt from sales tax because you are leaving immediately and will register in another state. You go to the DMV in your new state, pay TTTLR, and pick up your plate. Happens all...

I ordered 5 days after you, so I'm starting my one week countdown clock.

Just got invite for orientation in Tampa. Tonight or next Weds. No VIN yet. Perhaps the two events are connected, but probably not. I'm not stressed about it.

Also in Tampa, waiting on SR÷ white/black. Order date 17 Oct.
