    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I liked this guy’s video on ppf and ceramic coatings. It convinced me to do both for my car. https://undecidedmf.com/episodes/tesla-model-3-ceramic-coating-cost/

    Looks great! I took my car to the wrap shop for a clear bra and ceramic coat yesterday.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I actually just bought tires for my daughters car from Tire Rack. They had a very good price on Pirelli’s that were being discontinued. There was no sales tax. A partner company came to my house and installed the tires for $130. The guy had a tire balancer in the back of his van. Install took 45...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Today I took delivery of my M3P. The car looks amazing, and I’m very pleased. I went through a checklist that I found online, and everything looks good. Hopefully, I’ll have no surprises. I picked up my car at the Dallas service center. The experience was odd and unlike any other car purchase...

    Very true. Tesla is challenging the norm. Strange that J.D. Power hasn’t given many awards to Tesla. They recently gave Tesla a good score for the obscure “US Electric Vehicle Experience Ownership Study”. Then again, J.D. Power ranked my Samsung fridge as “highest in customer satisfaction”. The...

    Are you in the DFW area? I’m hoping to get a similar text soon. I sold my car at carmax. They gave me more than Tesla’s offer + tradein tax benefit.

    There are many restrictions on the ev tax credit. Maybe a 2023 Chevy Bolt will qualify for the govmint tax credit. And the dealer will be sure to price it accordingly. Speaking of which, I’m enjoying the purchase process sans dealer. I’m impressed that Tesla made an online order process that...

    Mama, put the coins on my eyes, 'cause I sure don't believe what I am seeing! That’s fantastic! Congrats!

    That is ridiculous! I suggest you start asking for details on the delay. Try the BBB. Maybe try emailing the CA DMV for advice. Also, you can get Tesla manager emails by Googling this: Tesla, Inc. Internal Documents It brings up court cases from .gov sites. Unfortunately, Tesla Sales Associates...

    Tesla is still giving me the silent treatment. EDD remains 8/14 to 8/28.

    You can’t really plan for the delivery as Tesla’s updates are so random. The car will probably be delivered after you get back. I’d just wait and see what happens. If the car does come early, you can look for a cheap last minute flight or decline delivery & start over. I was prepared to fly home...
