    MSM paint fade?

    I'm noticing MSM model 3s that are a few years old - the color looks different, not a sparkly/bluish, and doesn't look as good, quite frankly. However I see newer MSM model 3's and it looks great. Did Tesla start using a different paint recently or does MSM age poorly? I'm currently considering...

Since Tesla's warranty is so extensive, is there any real risk here in buying this way and having it shipped without...

    Model S as a weekend Car?

    I've read some about the car still staying "on" when not being driven. I only drive my car about once a weekend or so, probably put about 150 miles on it a month. Is a Model S not a good idea for this kind of driving?

    Wait times are killing me!

    I'm currently carless, ordered a Model S Long Range and delivery date keeps getting pushed back, now August-October! I've been researching purchasing used, but 95% of the Model S's I see are Plaids, and I don't want to pay the $30k premium for a car I don't want. I also don't trust Carvana/Vroom...

    Is getting a refreshed model s in black a bad idea?

    Seeing a lot of issues with rock chips on sides of the car and paint damage. Will MSM be much easier to maintain over black?

    MSM vs. Black tail lights

    Is MSM just as difficult to keep clean as black? Saw one in person today and looked very dirty. I'm also trying to go for this look - what would i need to do? I hate how the stock tail lights look with MSM. Screen-Shot-2021-11-08-at-8-39-03-PM

    Model S plaid vs. Model 3 Performance

    I'm completely new to Teslas and have only driven slow-luxury cars. Money is no object, so i was drawn the Plaid, essentially to say I had the best tesla available. However I am not skilled at driving fast (big) cars. And 0-60 2 seconds seems like it would be scary fast and probably a danger to...
