Its like a smear across the top. When I finish wiping on it you can see where I lift the rag off of the ppf. Pictures are not coming out for me, but almost looks like someone took grease and wiped it. I am going to try some dawn ultra on it tomorrow.

its an unmanned station, so likely a cheap wax they put on. Dumb mistake on my part. I know better.

Ok, so made the mistake of heading to my touchless car wash and selecting the best wash. After the wash, I was drying the car and it became evident as a part of the wash, a residue was left on the paint from either soap or a surface rinse off wax. I have never had anything like this happen. I...

appreciate you taking 2 for the team this time. Hoping they get it all worked out.

I have no seat wrinkles, no issues with alignment, no paint chips, or anything. The only problem I had was an error about camera's out of alignment and a small scratch on the charge port door. Everything else looked great. They replaced the charge port door and fixed the camera alignment and...

Love the Matte look, but unfrotunately my wife does not...and, since this is her car, she won. Congrats, looks awesome. I pick up my Silverado EV in May (have my production date of 4/29), so likely getting it done in black matte.

It definitely does. AFS had never actually used it and they were impressed with the depth of gloss. I had it on my Rivian prior and have it on my F150 Lightning. The Lightning is 2 years old. Every 3-4 months, I take 15-20 minutes after washing and apply the Xpel Ceramic Boost product. Has...

For the one I sent you the other day, I did the Xpel Fusion that has the hydrophopic properties built in, so no need to ceramic coat (per Xpel and has a 10 year warranty)

I did Full Body PPF and Tint on Windshield/Roof/All Windows. My total cost was ~$7500. AFS was great to work with...

I will tell you Mercedes is having similar issues with paint, I think it is the new environmental issues with water based paint. My brother has an SL63 AMG where the paint issues are concerning for a $200k car, gaps are good, but the fact that they had to give him a battery tender on a car he...

for those in Houston, I had been using XPel Houston as they do a great job, but this time, used AFS in Cypress, they specialize in Tesla and have facilities in the North Houston and Cypress parking lots with Tesla. I will say they were fast and easy to deal with. dropped it off Friday after...

My wife and I did that, then the kids nixed it. :)

Picked up Sirius Black today! Fairly flawless delivery. No issues that I could see. Door alignment looked spot on. Drove it across the parking lot to my Tint/PPF place to get that done first thing. Our delivery center experience was really good. The delivery manager gave us some time to...

EPA testing procedures.

This. Happened to me with my M3P in early 2022.

I guess so. Had not heard of anyone not getting a 2024 VIN assigned since I ordered a month back. Only heard people being delayed due to the EPA range issue. I thought everyone getting the updated range numbers had a 2024. Looking forward to my delivery.

I thought all 2024 VINs are RF...is there something I missed? I have an RF VIN as well with at 3/18-25 delivery date. I do not think this is indicative of any changes for the rumored camera and interior lighting.

You can transfer the FSD without trade in. You just have to be the owner the day you take delivery. May require some money balancing, but still can make the sell to Carvana. This is how I am handling mine.

I had a similar range as of yesterday, only a few days shorter, then woke up to a VIN this morning. I am a more recent order, so not sure why folks keep getting pushed back. When I did my Model 3P in 2022, I had a very similar experience. People were getting cars and I had no VIN even...

Received my VIN this morning. Ordered 2/14. MSLR, Black, Wheel, Black, 21. EDD: 3/18-25

as I am seeing it, Tesla is now registering the vehicle for us in Texas. But, that remains to be seen. I had to do the same with my previous 2 Teslas. EDIT: When I completed my paperwork, I have plates I am transferring to this vehicle, and I had to provide the details behind the plates as well.

NHTSA is a PITA on these nags. My F150 Lightning with BlueCruise is a real problem. For one, it cannot stay straight in the lanes. That aside, the number of nags, disengagements and alarms is infuriating. With my Ford, there is no way to disable the alerts from what I have seen, even with...

Ok, maybe that is why you guys are getting that message. Technically, the car was assigned, so it is a change. I have not received a VIN yet. And, to be honest, happy for the vin to be delayed while waiting to see if the March builds have the updates.

I have seen this posted by several, wondering if that is because you have a VIN? I did not get that option. Also, I have the 21" configured, but that one went down by 2 miles...

Followed...keep us posted on your next order. :)

Hoping you are correct and would also explain why they have been holding VIN assignments. I got lucky in 22 with my M3P getting the new processor, so hoping I have the same luck here.

so have my 3 week narrowed window, no VIN, but have a March 7-28 window. Ordered 2/14 - Feb - Mar 2024 2/29 - Mar 7-28

So, first "narrowed" window for me today. No longer says Feb-Mar 2024, now says March 2024 as of this morning. But that now matches what is on tesla.com for a new order.

Looks like they must have done a batch of UR last week. I am waiting on a Black MSLR, ordered on 2/14 as well. Still waiting on a narrowed delivery date and VIN.

Definitely could be. EDIT: but not sure I see any H rated tires in the sizes Tesla is using on the S

I am assuming it is a part of their "efficiency" package. why would they reduce it?

I have to believe that some of that range is gained in reducing the overall top speed. while acceleration is the same with 2023, the top speed went from 149 to 130. not sure in the LR any of us need the 149, with the Plaid, I can see the top speed at 200 for track purposes. Interesting when...

This is the main reason we are moving back to Tesla. She has had her Rivian for 6 months (totaled last month after being run off the road by an 18 wheeler-everyone was ok). But, she hated the charging. Was almost stranded a few times in drives. Its her car, so letting her make the choice...

Looks to be TeslaFi. Does a really good job helping keep track of the data from the car. Great interface.

Definitely might do that. Her concern is more of the range reduction. The difference of about 60 miles is big for her when she takes road trips. It is the difference between having to stop half way or not. I keep explaining that the new range estimates are based on the updated EPA guidelines...

Just my opinion, but when I read these, I immediately look at the signature to see if there is an order date or even a build type. Without that information, I have no idea if I am on track or not. I ordered on 2/14 for MSLR Black/Black/21"/steering wheel. Wanted a UR Plaid, but this is my...

This. I find it far more convenient for Supercharger in these situations. Last trip to a friends house, they did not have a 14-50 or a Dryer connection accessible from the car, so tried at standard rate. Did not add enough juice, so had to do supercharger anyway. With the size of the...

Interesting, SA just responded to me that they are expecting Early March to begin deliveries again. Apparently it is a mess internally.

Always changing. I have been also still debating on if I need it. I have not used a mobile connector in a while. I use it 2-3 times a year on my lightning, never used it on my Rivian and have not used it on my Y in 2 years. Already have the Wall Connector installed at home.

Yep, saw the same myself. unfortunate as I missed ordering mine as I was waiting on a delivery date for my Model S.

I have found some of the DIY to be a big pain, so I paid to have mine done. I was not a big PPF guy, but when I began hand washing my car, I would see every ding and scratch. So, I put front PPF on my Lighting, only to have something scratch the tailgate. So when our Rivian came in, I did a...

Ok, I reached back out to them. They said I could also print it out and send it back. Seems odd I can buy a car for >$80k and get financing without verification, but need to jump through hoops to sign a simple form. But I guess they really do not want to do the transfers.

Its actually the "financing" step that has to be completed, not the final payment. I believe you can set that to Cash and change it later if needed. I agree on not completing the final payment until inspection.

quick question, have you completed your payment option in the app? I had this issue with my 22 M3P. People were getting VINs all over, but I was not. Found out that I had to complete payment option and it assigned within days.

Ok, so stupid question. SA sent me the document to esign, but not in the app. It requires 1 of 10 different digital IDs to sign, all of which are pay services. Very odd. Did your signature process require that?

For my F150 Lightning, I only carry the phone now. Same with our Rivian. I was frustrated when I took delivery of my Lighting and the PaaK was not enabled immediately. After having Tesla's with no fob, I soon was spoiled with the walk up unlock, walk away lock. My F150 still does not lock on...

Yes, TeslaFi has a ton of options to manage sleep options(Enabling sleep settings to limit vampire loss. / Knowledge base / TeslaFi):

and, as soon as I submitted this post, Tesla reached out to me. Very odd that they asked me for the VIN of my transferring vehicle. I am the owner of the original vehicle, I ordered the car through the app that was logged in at the time for said vehicle, but they sounded surprised I was a...

I have found in our FSD experience is with v11, it was like teaching my teenage daughters how to drive. Scary aggressive at times and unnecessarily conservative at others. Everything I have seen with v12 is the majority of these issues have been addressed. Looking forward to being able to try...

This is a setting in TeslaFi, when it is in deep sleep, you can have it check the vehicle state or not. I have mine set to not check in order to reduce any drain.
