Scheduled my delivery for the 26th. 163xxx VIN.

Just got a VIN. Delivery between February 21 and 25. SA verified It’s a Ryzen car.

Mine was like this and as soon as I accepted the loan and trade in details it dropped to 3/3-3/30

Went to the Tesla store and looked at a Red model 3 immediately changed my order to Red. Should have snagged that red one that was in town a few days ago.

Oof. That red one is in my town. I just don’t know how I feel about the red!

Haha that would require time off work 😁

Seattle one still available but they want 2 grand to deliver it to Texas.

Gave in, uninstalled the app. Won’t install it until I get the delivery text. Checking it too often 😂

Had about a month of movement this morning in my EDD, I accepted Tesla's trade-in offer and finished all the steps last night so I wonder if that had something to do with it. Tesla's offer is $32500 for my current car, Vroom offered $34500 but the amount I pay in taxes goes up if I don't trade...

Unfortunately too late for that. Already went through the application, really dumb they do that. M3P/MSM/Black/No FSD

OD: 1/22 EDD: 03/31 - 04/28 Seems much further out than others I have seen here but I have not completed all the steps yet so maybe that has something to do with it.

I was actually at the dealership looking to trade it in on a C7 Z06 and this dude was looking to trade his BMW in on a model S they had. They low balled both us on our trades and we over heard each other and made good deal! Was pretty funny actually. Poor dealership lost two trades and two car...

Got offered 53K on dealer trade in. Little low at 50K. Car sold today for 56K Thanks guys. Mods feel free to delete!

More photos after I washed it today! https://photos.app.goo.gl/jmrwzXBDqv9W44tY6

I have to move internationally for work in a few months and don’t want the car to just sit.

Here is a link to a google photos album. Much easier to share this than add all the photos in a post. Hopefully this is ok! https://photos.app.goo.gl/6rQwJ9vZ8RyPz1Jx6 The really close-up shots where you can see the PPF Lines are there so you can see it was professionally done. I can find the...

Hello! I love this car but life calls and it's time to sell. 2020 Model Y - Current mileage: 7,172 * White Exterior White Interior Full Self Driving Completely wrapped in XPEL Ultimate PPF by Gulf Coast Auto Shield in Houston, TX Ceramic Coat Tinted front and windshield. Front is just dark...

hol up. Where did we ever specify where this was happening at. Go look at the original context of some dude saying it takes 10K to shave half a second off a 0-60. Also who tf mentioned a mustang?! Read the context before you popoff. I found the Tesla fanboi. Though I appreciate the mustang at a...

eh. Base C6 Corvette can be had for less than 15K. Tune, Cam, exhaust and tires and you are down in the 3s. Add some boost and you are running sub 10 second quarter miles all day long. My point is that the fanbois would have you believe this is unheard of in the ICE game and that is just untrue...

Yeah so I paid for a full car wrap and at first was kind of regretting doing the full car that is until I drove from Houston to Dallas and took a rock right to the front of the car and you can see where the PPF saved the paint. Yet to be tested, but supposedly the mark the rock left will...

AND you'd never be 4000 ahead if you DIDN'T spend the money for PB! Literally making money. MERICA!

White I agree this is a great deal for a 0.5 second increase, 10K for an ICE to gain 0.5 is woefully inaccurate and completely dependent on the motor. Give me any LSx vehicle, a welder , 5K and a weekend and Ill make 800+ horsepower with some left on the table. You can easily gain 0.5s on a 0-60...

Man I was hoping this would come out AFTER I paid the tax bill for the car and a couple payments! Now I gotta actually use my (limited) will power to wait!

I did a full car XPEL wrap with ceramic coat. Ceramic coat is a God sent with stuff like this as the bugs and grime just wash right off. Ceramic coat does nothing for scratches and rock chips.

lightly rashed mine no less than 6 hours after delivery. It happens, I was used to the truck having big walled tires and it not being an issue and lightly grazed a curb. I am planning on use these for winter wheels or long trip wheels and getting a set of better looking 21s for cruising around town.

Yep. This post just made me very happy my car is in for PPF after less than 48 hours of ownership. Sorry man

I didn't wait. The odds of there being some massive upgrade for the 3 and Y I feel are very low. I could very wrong here and eat a shoe in a week but I am not worried. If it is some massive range increase for 3 and Y then I guess I hope they offer some sort of upgrade path for us plebs who...

Just call and leave a message for your SA/DA or call the general Tesla line and talk to someone. If the accept button appears on your account, don't click it.

Gulf Coast found some dirt under the clear coat but said that he could sand it out and it wouldn't be a problem. Tesla may have the most advanced paint booths but what ever does their prep work is the least advanced. Why is there dirt in a paint-booth to begin with? Thats like clean spaces 101...

Dropped the car off at Gulf Coast Auto Shield. Service is absolutely amazing and they are going to buff out the random issues I found with the paint so I don't have to wait for Tesla to do it. Services I purchased XPEL Ultimate Full Car Wrap XPEL Ceramic Coat Tint Windshield 70% Tint Front...

I am in the exact same boat as you. Don't forget Nuclear. Nuclear is one of the best renewables if we could better educate the public. We also need to develop a better plan for dealing with the waste, personally I am a fan of shooting it at the sun but that has it's own risks. Burying it very...

I just figured that was what the post I was quoting was referencing. Green Car = Climate Change = Left Tenancies was my thought process and I defiantly don't think that just because you own a Tesla you are a liberal.

I am trying to not drive it a lot until I have the full PPF done. I'd be pissed to have a rock chip right before I get PPF. I drop the car off on monday

Went to get grocer I am looking for any reason to go driving now... I..uh...I think I am out of milk. be right back!

Picked mine up yesterday and I don't notice anything major. The rear bumper seems to shift colors differently than the rest of the car but that is expected because pearl paint. Up close all panels appear the same color to me.

I would agree with that statement.

You will have a whine during heavy load, more accurately, when the inverter is dumping lots of current into the motors. That is a normal effect from the electronics. I don't have anything when I just drive around normally. I also don't think the heavy load whine is that high pitch but that is...

Picked the car up this morning. I used the Model Y checklist on github and found a few small issues but the car was nearly perfect on the paint front and the two issues I did find can easily be buffed out. My truck has more paint issues when I picked it up so that made me really happy. The pain...

Sales Tax is 6.5% of purchase price so that is going to be the biggest factor

I am doing a full car PPF wrap with Xpel Ultimate. Installer includes a 10 year warranty from peeling and what not. Does not cover re-wrapping a panel if it's damaged from a rock or other impact which is reasonable in my book, they'd be rewrapping cars every year otherwise. Some of the prices in...

Keying someones car because they might be a "liberal" is possibly the saddest thing I have ever heard and while I know it's true, I really don't want to believe that would happen. I don't really have any fear of this though as I have insurance with a 0 comp deductible, sentry mode is a thing and...

Just got the call! Car is ready early! Hopefully it’s good, didn’t have time to make my checklist but whatever just gonna wing it. Really the only major show stopper is badly mismatched paint. Leaving the house via Uber in a matter of minutes.

The approach. It's a simple enough fix that you can just tell the operators hey put a piece roughly this long here. You don't always have to specify every single minutiae for something that isn't critical. I've stated this already and will again, it's hacky, it's ugly, it could be done prettier...

I do appreciate there is an actual number in that TSB. 1.5mm! Something I can measure and throw down if need be.

I would have the same response on any car. I'm not some fan boi who thinks Tesla can do no wrong. I am speaking purely from an engineering standpoint. Tesla has a truckload of problems that are inexcusable. Panel gaps produced by RNG, paint that seems to be every tone from here to sunday...

You are making the assumption this wasn't by design? You think someone on the line was just like "You know what would go really well here?! Some wood veneer!" It's "random" parts but they all have the same intent. I'd bet a years salary several days if not weeks of engineering time was put into...

Some of this maybe the "pearl" part of the paint

This is what regulatory bodies are for. Would you be happy with the formed L pieces from post #120 or are you mad that they have tape, a band and plastic in general? Also these parts look to just be there for support so any cracking, shrinkage or otherwise probably wont affect the HVAC for a...

Loose fasteners are a very common issue in manufacturing especially when humans are involved. All it takes is one day of work with a bad torque wrench and the operator just doing their job and you have a ton of parts out the door with a common issue. Recalls are there for safety critical issues...

Looks more and more like they have the right parts and either ran out or are slowly switching over to it. My opinion stands that this isn't a big deal and people are just looking for a reason to hate on Tesla for some reason. At least pick something worth hating like the empty FSD promises...
