Good to know. If I went aftermarket, I'd likely go 20". I have 20's on my other sedan and am fine with the ride. Seems like a happy medium.

Just bought a Model S with the 19's with the intention of replacing them with aftermarket wheels at some point. Didn't want to pay $4500 + tax for the Arachnids from the factory. I've found some Arachnids on marketplace for around 2k, but I know they are cast and have seen several posts about...

Anyone know if the $7500 discount is contingent on taking delivery by 6/30? I know the 3 year free SC is. I stopped by the showroom today and they weren't 100% sure. There are some cars in transit that might not make it here by 6/30.

It was around 10k this morning, but back to 7500 now. The non-plaids were only 5k off this morning and now are back to 7500. Strange how the prices fluctuate almost hourly.

Way to make my decision harder!! The website says the plaid has "higher thermal capacity brake pads" but are the brakes any different otherwise? I will say I thought the brakes were a weak point, but that's only when I was racing to a light and had to brake hard. The rep said the plaid were...

Thanks for the input all. Not dead set on the plaid, but might depend on inventory. We really want the ultra red and so far there are more plaid options although inventory seems to be changing daily. The non-plaid is plenty fast. Heck, our M3P is wicked fast.

Current 2020 M3P user and love it with all its quirks and looking to add a MSP to the stable. Have test driven, asked questions and searched this forum for all possible issues and just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything with my logic. Options: -Color: UR. It's just gorgeous...

Thanks. Good to know. Sorry, revealing my bias against any kind of wood trim, real or fake. But I guess bamboo isn't really wood, is it? I think it's technically a grass.

Got a call from Tesla last night around 8pm asking if I wanted to take delivery before midnight of my M3P. I get that they want to get as many as they can before quarter end, but thought that was a bit odd. So they text me at 11:30pm saying its ready. Uhh, no. I was almost asleep. But they...

They told me I have 100 miles to check over the car and report back any issues they need to fix. Is this true? They are pushing hard to try and deliver tonight as late as midnight! Gotta get that end of quarter delivery. I'll probably pass until tomorrow. No incentive for me to pick it up...

I'm picking up my M3 hopefully tomorrow and I'll say it's been pretty easy so far. I worked with UFCU here in Austin for financing (48 mos 2.15%) and it's been super easy. Yes, Texas has some weird laws to protect the dealers, but it is what it is. It's certainly not stopping Tesla buyers...

Thank you for this. I'll print it out and use it soon. I would think pointing out deficiencies prior to pulling out of the delivery center would make it a ton easier to get things fixed on their dime. Not sure. I'm about to find out next week! It is weird in Texas where you have to have...

But if one "736" got the update, should my 736 also have it?
