Someone else confirmed via chat with a sales rep that there is no price reduction if you opt for the 18” wheels, nor will it include the upgraded brakes since the 18” wheels won’t accommodate them.

Yeah, you do save on sales tax if you go that route, but to your point, the additional cheddar the third option gave me offset even the sales tax savings.

My experience getting rid of my 2013 BMW 328i in preparation for taking delivery of my Tesla: 1) Tesla trade-in offer was about $9700 2) Carmax offer was $10k 3) givemethevin.com offer was $11k (after I negotiated them up) Obviously took the third option, and would highly recommend Give Me The...

I noticed my rear driver's side door is slightly misaligned with the rest of the car (you can tell because the chrome trim around the doors doesn't perfectly line up where the door meets the center pillar). I plan on asking the local service center to adjust it - I'd imagine it's as simple as...

My advice would be to get what makes YOU happy. You're not going to get objective opinions on here, as a) everyone has his/her own priorities, b) we live in a culture where (stupid or not), people often have ego wrapped up in what car they drive (or what trim they drive, ex. P3D vs. 3D, or BMW...

I'm paying $2100 for full paint correction and Feynlab ceramic coating, as well as full tint (including rear windshield in a single piece). If it were just the ceramic coating, I would estimate ~$1500 with paint correction.

Took delivery yesterday of my MSM P3D. Delivery was pretty quick and painless, as we already have a LR RWD, so most of the time was spent inspecting the car and going through the checklist. Didn't find any build quality issues, and the interior was flawless. The only issues were some very...

They're not going to look at your trade-in with a fine toothed comb. They're essentially just sending them all to auction and only really care about things like the odometer reading, and whether there's any major damage they weren't previously aware of. Most of the critical information is...

Got a spontaneous text from the ATX service center this morning, offering to pull delivery from Saturday afternoon to this evening. I obviously said yes. I did ask if they could skip applying the dual motor badge as part of the Performance Upgrade, but they informed me it came from the factory...

Ah, in the eventuality that mine has any issues, I'll still take delivery to lock in the tax credit but with the promise that they'll fix it. Seems like a lot of people go this route.

If your delivery is tomorrow, why are you concerned about whether it's before the end of the quarter?

Yeah, nothing and then suddenly my account asked me to submit my balance due, then nothing for a few days, then a random text saying my delivery is scheduled. But still no VIN until the next day.

Great color (and location - love Sausalito) - I seriously considered red for this car after seeing a few in the wild, and I've never really been a red car guy. Cheers.

The 2 or 3 day timeline is encouraging! I've gotten 3 different stories: random delivery advisor on Saturday said the car shipped, random delivery advisor today said it was "arriving at our Arizona hub" which is where shipments get consolidated for Texas, but the e-mail from the local Austin...

Sounds very on brand for Tesla. My ISA ghosted me for the last 8 days, and I've had to resort to calling the general Tesla number and speaking to random delivery advisors since then to finalize financing. The vehicle is now fully paid for, and the Austin delivery center said it will now make its...
