    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    The day has finally come! Just took delivery of the Beast today. Long day... I was expecting a lot of face palm moments from the QC, but I was shocked that nothing needed to be submitted via the app to get fixed! Lucky I guess, but I wasn't expecting what I saw today. The alignment in the...

    Let's hope! Very nice! I have a feeling that my EED will change tomorrow with a 2 week window of 9/1 - 9/13 or so... let's hope! I've been keeping an eye on white interior orders so it's good to see movement for us on the West coast.

    I was curious about this too. 245/35/20 would be more ideal for the stock 20" Ubers yes? The stock 235/35/20 Pirelli tires are stretched as it is on the 20x9 stock rims... hmm... 245/35/20 would be a tad bigger as expected with slightly more side wall. I'm curious what the "Actual"...

    I ended up ordering the mobile adapter with the 5-15 only when it was available and ordered the 14-50 adapter separately. It's an extra $45 bucks doi. ng it this way, but at the time everything was OOS. Now we just need our dang cars! LOL. I think we'll get some movement this coming week.

    Interesting... thanks for sharing. Getting a VIN assigned once the car is at the SC is the norm up here in the PNW. Odd I know... it looks like that practice is occurring for CA as well.

    Wild... I just don't get it. I have a feeling that your DD may end up being toward the end of the first week of Sept.

    The biggest drum roll ever! For us west coast folks it feels like hell week (marines) where we're all holding the log with our backs against the crashing waves; all holding each other up.

    That's great to know! From what I've seen the seats hold up pretty well. Any plans to ceramic coat them? I just ordered a kit specifically for p-leather. Thanks for the breakdown and cheers. I'm approaching my 60 days. Hoping to get some movement tomorrow.

    That's true. Good point. Met another tesla owner today while I was out and about and he waited well over a year for his back then. - And a lot of us here are only waiting ~60 days. 😄 It was a good reminder of how it could be much worse.

    It's 50/50 for me really. I'm good either way so getting whatever config I want doesn't do much for me. It's more so the possibility of getting my car sooner, but like I said I think I'm too far in to be messing with anything, as the VIN should be right around the corner. It was more so a...

    Hmm so guys what do you think? I've been toying with the idea of switching the interior to black. By doing so it'd be a gamble where it could push things back or maybe wake up to see a VIN the next morning. However, being this far along in the game I think that would be a coincidence if I...

    Being that we're nearing the end of the quarter, my best guess is that if you were to switch now you'd get one before Q3 ends or it may roll into the early part of Q4.

    This is great news! Same config as mine. It's strange how it works for us in the PNW.

Your first EDD received on June 28 with the end of Aug - end of Sept is what my...

    Yikes sorry to hear. More importantly you're okay so that's all that matters. The average from OD to DD has been ~60 +/- for the mid west and east coast. I see that you're in MD so those averages should be pretty consistent. However, I think it's worth mentioning that now with the LR getting...

    Good stuff. 15% really brings out the batmobile look without going limo mode. I was debating between 15% and 25% and settled on 25% due to a lot of driving at night. Could you take some pics of the roof with the 50%? I'm very curious how the LTV looks with the 50% on top of the stock tinted...

    I think you're far enough in the Q to be pretty safe with the 30 days, especially with being able to extend the pre approval, I'd say go for it. :D There are some CUs that give additional 0.25% off of EVs... they're definitely out there.

    It's frustrating I know, but mysteriously it's somewhat normal for this strange Rubber Band Effect to occur. Most often times than not, to bounces back and in some cases may tighten even more. There are unique scenarios where it gets hung up in the EOQ time frame as well, which sucks big time...

    Take the opportunity to check other credit unions and have them rate match or go with one with a better rate. There are CUs still with amazing % rates. Good luck! Hang in there. Very true.

    That's the trade off for sure. Too bad a wrap couldn't just be patched up right? If it wasn't for my winter sports it wouldn't be too bad, but man between the salted roads, rocks and annoying semis that kick up stuff in all the slush during the winter is harsh. I'm almost positive it'll chew...
