Any chance you'll prepare a version with black textured vinyl for folks who already have rock chips? It might wind up looking something like the optional cladding on the Macan. https://www.amazon.com/Matte-Black-Textured-Vinyl-Sticker/dp/B00HRMYTJ2

None of the Ys being delivered right now have the updated headlights. I walked through a whole lot of pre-delivery cars yesterday--almost all of the 3s had the new lights, but none of the Ys.

Kind of a bummer as I like the new lights too. I'm expecting the retrofit will be well into the thousands which isn't worth it to me.

Some have. I haven't yet, though I'm told my car is going to be built this week. Not particularly excited about getting a Christmas Eve/Christmas build car.

Supposed to have a build this week and delivery by EOY. Still no VIN.....

This is a weird review, as most of first drive reviews for the Mach-E are positive. His comments about getting oversteer and having the tires break free in "everyday turns" in particular are very hard to believe. I personally couldn't care less about criticism over the Mustang branding, which...

Yeah, Mini's ride quality is punishing in comparison. I had a F55 JCW for a short while and with the run-flat tires hitting a pothole felt like you just got into an accident.

If you read the rest of the thread, they're comparing against LG batteries that only appear in China-built cars.

It will be a packaging miracle if they can pull it off. There's barely enough room in the rear hatch area for my 50 lb dog. For comparison, we have a CX-9 that has probably another 6-8" in length in the hatch space. And the third row in that is still basically "emergency only" seating.

Found a big thread on this in the TM3 forum as well with some interesting data. Preliminary EPA Data for Model 3 AWD & Model 3 P 2021 Released

This is a great example of how people come to different conclusions on the Y's ride. For my tastes, the RX350 is the worst-handling car I've ever driven. I think it feels like trying to drive a marshmallow. Some folks are going to like those characteristics. For them, the Y is going to be...

Wet traction is largely about how good the tread pattern is at displacing water--I'd expect most A/S tires to be better than summer tires in that regard on truly wet roads. I do completely agree with you that performance A/S tires are a great solution. Tires have become really, really good...

The Y is going to have a flux capacitor and a Mr. Fusion by EOY 2021.

There's nothing in the car that says what battery it has, and the difference is in the range of normal battery degradation. It's not something the average buyer is even going to be aware of.

This was previously thought to be a ROW upgrade only--curious if anybody has seen the new headlights in a recent US delivery. Tesla is upgrading Model 3 and Model Y headlights - Electrek
