    Sorry to bug you, but do you think you could send me a DCU referral link as well?

    FS: Model 3 Performance Pirelli P Zero 235/35R20 Tires (Set of 4)

    I'm looking to sell the set of 4 Pirelli P Zero 235/35R20 tires that came with my 2022 Model 3 Performance. The tires have 2,267 miles on them and are in excellent shape (see pictures). I'm asking $800. The tires have been sitting in my garage since they were removed in the fall of last year...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Hi again everyone! I just wanted to chime in one last time to say farewell and to offer some encouragement for all those still waiting. Hang in there, your time will come, and in retrospect, it won't seem like it was so long once you're driving your new cars. I just picked up my car from the...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    That's correct. Global = matrix. The "matrix" term refers to the underlying grid of LEDs that serve as the light source. Kind of like the pixels on a plasma or OLED display. The design allows the beam pattern of the headlights to be reconfigured by turning individual elements of the underlying...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Awesome! Thank you for the link! I'll just tell the PPF shop to leave the badges off so I can replace them with these myself. Regarding the etsy option, since those are caps (from my understanding) they'd require the original badges to be in place so they can go over them. I'd prefer to just...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Thanks for the reassurance. On my car that the M3P is replacing, I only had PPF installed in the most vulnerable areas of the car, but this time around, based on what I've heard about Tesla paint durability, I figured I would just cover the whole car and never have to worry about swirl marks...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Not really related to the ordering process, but for those who are opting to have PPF installed on their car, my shop has told me that they will be removing all badges on my car (including the DUAL MOTOR, the red underline, and the hood/trunk T logos) in order to apply the PPF, after which the T...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Slippery in terms of the mat's resistance to moving around on the floor, or in terms of the amount of friction between the mat and your feet? If you meant the former, for me, the 3D Maxpiders have stayed put, but the car they're installed in has floor mat retention posts sticking up out of its...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    I picked up my M3P with a build date of 05-05-22 and a VIN of 247XXX this past Friday and am happy to report that it has the matrix projector headlights.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    The wall connector is actually capable of slightly faster charging than the maximum output of the mobile connector when combined with the NEMA 14-50 plug, so there's a reasonable rationale for paying the extra money for the wall connector, assuming it's wired up to properly take advantage of...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Haha, honestly, I was so excited, I didn't even give the temporary plate more than a passing glance. My brain registered that it was there, but I had to look back at the photos just now to tell you when they expired. As for your adhesive issue, I'm sure isopropyl alcohol would be safe to use if...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    My understanding is that the M3P and LR no longer have different suspension anymore, so the lowered ride height and smaller fender gap of the M3P are a thing of the past.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Well, my wait is finally over. I'm happy to report that as of last night, there is a shiny new midnight silver metallic M3P parked in my garage and happily sipping electricity from the wall connector I had installed around 2 months ago. Now I just have to wait for my PPF shop appointment to get...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    In a completely unexpected turn of events, this evening I randomly got a text message from the Tesla system informing me that my car had arrived at my local store early, and wanting to know when I could come pick it up. My first response was "I can be there in 20 minutes..." My next response...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yep. Right here. For me it was Ford, on a Focus RS, back in 2016 when the model first became available for sale in the US. It was 9 months of waiting with almost no info at all for the duration, and there was a not insignificant deposit of cash involved to place the order. This has been a...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Not based on what I was told, although that may vary from state to state. In my case, however, I was told that proof of an active insurance policy is all that's required by Tesla. My insurance agent also told me that I have a 2 week grace period to officially add the vehicle to my policy once...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Just got off the phone with my local store's operations manager. I have a delivery appointment scheduled at the store on 05-30-22! I think it's somewhat appropriate that it'll be Memorial Day. Hopefully in addition to the day's actual meaning, there will also be a good memory made for me...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    So, this evening while eating dinner, I randomly received a text from the Tesla delivery system that it was time to schedule my delivery (pickup). I almost inhaled a chicken nugget I was so excited. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, when I logged into my account to set up the date, there...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I just noticed another minor EDD bump. Sad to see it, but not surprised. I guess it happened sometime late in the afternoon, because I check the app repeatedly throughout the day. I did reach out to my local store contact the other day, who told me that my car is not missing a charge port ECU...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Well, my EDD slid back a bit either late yesterday or early today. On the upside, my SA relayed that my car was born on 5-5-22 and that it's on a train headed my way, so I guess that's something positive. VIN: 5YJ3E1ECXNF247XXX Order Details: M3P, Midnight Silver Metallic, Black Interior, No...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    This morning I received an unsolicited text from the operations advisor at my local Tesla store, wanting to introduce and establish herself as my point of contact for my anticipated delivery, which I thought was nice. I confirmed with her that: -A physical cashier's check would be acceptable...

    Slight correction to the above: EDD 5: 05-21-22 to 05-25-22 (On 05-05-22) (5 days) I was so excited I fat-fingered a digit on the end date of my EDD.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Well, my day is off to a great start! Around 6:45 this morning (central time) I got a text message informing me that I have been assigned a VIN! My EDD also changed again, tightening down to a 4 day window positioned at the back end of my previous 2 week window. My VIN was immediately visible...

    Just had an EDD update in the last hour! My first 2-week window!

    I just noticed a new, slightly revised EDD for my order as well. The start date of my window shifted back by 2 days, but the width of the window narrowed from 5 weeks to 4 weeks. Order Details: M3P, Midnight Silver Metallic, Black Interior, No FSD Delivery Location: Memphis, TN OD: 3-5-22...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Clearly, you have excellent taste in fun cars! I too opted for a Nitrous Blue RS2 when I ordered my RS, along with the sunroof, but without the forged wheels, which is a decision I've always regretted during my years of owning it. Copious amounts of brake dust and dense 10-spoke wheels are not...

    Just thought I'd add another data point... M3P, Midnight Silver Metallic, Black Interior, No FSD Location: Memphis, TN OD: 3-5-22 (Original estimate of April) EDD 1: 5-9-22 to 6-6-22 (Immediately after ordering) EDD 2: 5-29-22 to 7-3-22 (Updated today, 4-20-22) 😢 I can understand the eagerness...
