I feel you. I had to redo financing as well because when the car became available my financing offer had just expired for 1 week. My credit score took a hit but I wasn't getting any other loan at the time so I didn't care much about it.

You don't need to tint the roof. It already absorbs a lot of heat

I sent the picture to 2 Tesla certified body shops near San Diego (AJ-USA and Amato's in case someone in the area is reading). Amato's quoted me $13k, first availability is 2 months out. AJ said replacing the quarter panel is likely $6k and that doesn't include any work on the bumper, first...

If I go this route and change my mind later, is there a period of time after an accident that I must file an insurance claim?

Ugh I have Geico. Are they bad to work with? I never had any issue with them before. For > $5k, did you have to replace the bumper?

I'm used to backing into my parking spot in the apartment garage. The proximity sensor always goes off. So I guess I'm a bit desensitized. This was a different setting. Lots of room. I just didn't see the mailbox column which has color blended into the pavement. :(

So I pretty badly damaged my new Model Y rear quarter panel while backing :(. Haven't had any incident in the last 10 years and got one just after I got my dream car :( A lapse of attention. I haven't had much experience with body shop repair. Is this repairable or does it need to be replaced...

I will check out Elite as @lotusland recommended, but wanted to know if you found any good car wash?

Does anyone have experience with Solar Gard XenithIR? Wolf Wraps in San Diego has a Groupon deal for $483. The Groupon page doesn't have details about what parts are covered, but I assume the windows and back glass. From what I'm reading in this thread that seems to be a good price for IR nano...

@ElectricAnt54 Thanks for the update! Happy to hear that the body shop did an excellent job

Yes, although I haven't tested them yet :P

@ElectricAnt54 How did it go?

I took delivery yesterday. It ended up being only a 2 month delay. I'm very happy with the car.

Getting a 4680 car would be great. However, I'm in CA so chances are I'll still get a Fremont vehicle.

That really sucks. I hope they resolve your situation. Best of luck!

I appreciate your opinions. I didn't want this to turn into an argumentative thread. I try to avoid toxicity online as much as possible. I didn't think I was gaming the system. My choice was to take delivery at the end of December or delay taking delivery 2 weeks for a chance of a few thousand...

The person at Tesla delivery center I talked to said every order gets one delay. She didn't mention that delayed orders get put to the end of the line. Maybe she didn't know. There are many reasons one can't take delivery with a 2-week notice. If Tesla does in fact have a policy that one loses...

I understand you want to get your Tesla quicker, we all do. Every order gets one delay. The reason for delaying is up to the order holder.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a 6-month wait added to their order. Congrats @voxel

I was assigned a VIN last Dec but delayed taking delivery until Jan 1 hoping for an EV tax credit. I guess a lot of people must have done the same. Initially the estimated delivery date was late Jan - early Feb. It's now pushed all the way to mid Jun :( Anybody in the same boat?

I'm new to the forum. Got a VIN assigned and planning to delay delivery to Jan 2022. My first Tesla finance option expired (72 months, 2.49%, ~100% of the purchase price) and after reapplying they reduced the financed amount to about half of the purchase price, same rate & duration. I'd still...
