    Re-Match = Older VIN. Why?

    To be fair, not doing them sequentially has the same effect since people think they do.

    Re-Match = Older VIN. Why?

    My VIN is 35XXX, built in June. I picked it up at the beginning of July. I know they aren't working in perfect sequential order, but my guess is both of yours were built in July. You'll be fine.

    Adding FSD before VIN assignment

    I added FSD a week or so before I got my VIN. For me, it didn't delay anything. Keep in mind that I was in the last batch of cars before the floodgates were opened, so no idea what it would do now. Since it is just a software change, it really shouldn't delay anything, but you never know. I say...

    Dashboard scratches

    I bought an accordion sunshade on Amazon way before I got my car. After I got it, I looked at the reviews on Amazon for some reason and saw one that said it scratched up their dashboard. They included a picture and it looked bad. So, I haven't used my sunshade yet as I'm too frightened to...

    Should I have my headlight adjusted?

    Hard for me to say. It looks ok in a couple pictures, but pretty bad in a couple. I'd probably do this: If it was all I thought about when I got in and out of the car, I'd get it fixed. Otherwise, I'd skip it. So, in your case, my vote would be to skip it. One question, since the gap looks...

    Feature Request: Mirror auto fold tied to HomeLink

    I was surprised it didn't have this as a toggle somewhere. I also noticed that I fold my mirrors when I pull into my garage, but the next morning when I get in and back out, they are still folded and the screen makes me click "Fold" and then "Unfold". It doesn't remember what state they were in...

    2018.24.7 firmware

    Is 24.7 just bug fixes to 24.1? I'm on 24.1 and have all the features shown in the pics above.

    5% tint

    What are you doing hanging out around all those kids with a car nobody can see in?

    Opticoat Pro+Xpel Ultimate vs. Xpel Ultimate Can U Tell the Difference?

    Hard to tell as they both look fantastic. But give those tires some love!

    My 'home' delivery experience

    I disagree. That car was filthy. I’d be embarrassed to show it off like that too!

    Home delivery or pick up at delivery center?

    I would hope they deliver it on a truck, but who knows? Just remember that you are the customer. So even if the delivery isn't on a truck and the guy has his 9-month pregnant wife waiting in another car, take your time and make sure the car is perfect.

    At what point do you own the car?

    What I was told is that you aren't the owner until you take delivery. I had asked this question more for figuring out my delivery date and if the tax credit would affect when my car was shipped. You still sign for everything when the car arrives, so any pre-done paperwork is basically not in...

    At what point do you own the car?

    I know several people in Texas had problems at delivery and refused the car. Tesla assigned new cars to them. However it is worded, it seems like possession is the key, not when it is handed over to the transport company.

    Did Model 3 colors Red and White increase from $1,000 to $1,500?

    They charge you an extra $500 for white because you are actually getting 2 colors - White for the car and beige for the rear bumper. I kid. I'm getting white, so I just jinxed myself...

    4/18 Invites

    I'm in Austin, but we might be on the same truck. Our cars can be buds, briefly!
