    Thanks for posting this. When someone is seated in the front passenger seat and I take a turn, I hear the same sound.

    What I learned about the buying process from Ordering to Delivery

    In my experience, I had the option of declining once I received a text/email notification that my vehicle/VIN is available. No dealer visit.

    What I learned about the buying process from Ordering to Delivery

    They have received your vehicle and a pre-inspection is performed. If something doesn't meet "tolerance levels" you'll be notified. In the past, one had three days to pickup the vehicle. I see that has been extended to at least a week. Good for you....and Tesla.

    What I learned about the buying process from Ordering to Delivery

    My transactions were all paperless. One presses the "accept" button on the app. In my area, one has to accept before doing an internal inspection.

    LED rear reflector turn signals

    Just finished the install on this and found a much, much, much easier way. No removing of tail lights, no partial removal of bumper or wheel-well liner and no drilling. Probably did the install in about 15 minutes. Sorry no pictures. Pull the plastic that surrounds the trunk latch. Remove the...

    What I learned about the buying process from Ordering to Delivery

    I paid as soon as I received my scheduled pick up day. I've never heard of a car suddenly disappearing because the VIN has been assigned to you. If you don't respond to an email/text in a timely manner, I can see Tesla giving yoit VIN to someone else.

    As soon as you know your delivery date, you should be able to procure financing in minutes. I wouldn't hesitate.
