Configured our 23 MYP with EAP @ $6k upon initial order in January. Shortly after joining the forums and a fair amount of Googling, we decided to rethink and pocket that $6k instead. It’d be awesome if the car could park itself in our tight garage space, but given the feature timeline (or lack...

I was referencing the price tag without options, fees, etc. Your timeline isn't quite accurate. There was roughly a 12-hour window on 3-FEB-2023 where the MYP was offered at $56,990 after the IRS increased the $55k tax incentive threshold. Around midnight ET, the price had already gone up $1k...

I got all my PPF, tint, and body work all done at a local shop in Virginia. Not sure that would apply to you as a Los Angeles resident, but if you're still interested, I can share details. :p Purchasing a Tesla (or any car for that matter), is certainly an interesting and multi-faceted...

Sure do! As seen in the pictures, the dent(s) are very shallow and easy to miss under less-than-perfect lighting. Unfortunately for me, they're on/near what's referred to as a "DM" (double metal) section of the panel where it folds on itself making a nice smooth edge. This, along with being a...

Yeah - nothing about this endeavor was cheap in any sense, but to be fair, the wall charger installation was the large majority of the "Accessories" cost. I hesitated even putting it there since it's borderline "must-have" IMO if you plan on charging 99% at home. The PPF is something a lot of...

Event Log / Journal Thought it would be fun to share things as they come up. :) 11-MAR-2023 Quickly found out that she baaaarely fits in our garage! We have a 2-bay garage, but it's a pretty tight fit. We can shimmy between the nose and the garage door if we need to, but those are certainly...

Hi all. I just wanted to document my initial experiences with our first EV from soup to nuts and log anything noteworthy that comes up in the future. Ordering We initially ordered sometime early JAN-2023 once we'd heard about the Tesla price drops in addition to the IRS tax incentives. This was...

Took delivery of ours on 11-MAR. Hit speeds of 60-70ish on the way home with no wind noise to speak of. Maybe we just got lucky?

Experienced this very briefly today in our MYP. Drove to dinner - everything worked as expected. Got back in the car to drive home - radio was on and playing (per the screen), but no audio actually coming through speakers. I "fixed" this by opening the theater and opening one of the apps...

Looking good @freed0m ! I ended up pulling the trigger on the black-lettered flaps as well. I’ll probably get around to installing them over the next few days.

Sure hope the car is smart enough to know if the key is inside/outside the car (or at least within 5-10ft). My office shares a wall with my garage, so my phone is in “close-ish” proximity to it very frequently. Obviously not a deal breaker since the car is in an enclosed garage, but ideally it...

Congrats on the new ride. 1. & 2. I don’t feel like any of those gaps are something worthy of panel rearrangement, but that’s just my opinion. Some folks are more anal about this than others, so if it bothers you then have Tesla service your car. We just took delivery of ours the other day and...

:oops: Man, feels like I’m reading a new “My Brand New MY <Insert_Problem_Here>” thread every day leading up to my own delivery date. Not giving me the warm and fuzzies.

Sure - I'm sure they would do it too. If I went that route, I'd prefer to give them some guidance for the T E S L A letters specifically. I'll definitely ask if they have experience with this specific badge (they do a lot of Teslas, so it's certainly possible). The black dual motor badge would...

Are there placement templates for any of the various badges? Once I take delivery, I'm almost immediately having my car wrapped and the shop will debadge the car in the process. They don't stock the "T E S L A" letters, so I purchased them myself and plan to install - the issue is, I've read...
