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.
