    Ultra Red, thinking about skipping PPF

    Waiting on jack pucks to remove rear wheels. No way I'm fighting with the tightness to get those screws into the rears. Fronts were easy.

    Ultra Red, thinking about skipping PPF

    If I'm looking to buy a used Tesla, I wont care or pass on a car that doesnt have ppf. If I'm trying to sell one that was that battered that badly from not having ppf I'm confident the thousands saved would buy some new paint and a nice detail. I was quoted $8,400 for whole car with a $125 a...

    Ultra Red, thinking about skipping PPF

    I did get myself a quote for full body ppf last week. I went for mud flaps. If I sell the car next month, next year, in 5 years. Didnt feel like an investment but more like insurance. Like auto insurance that you usually never use.

    Yes, the brakes suck. For the weight and performance I get it, read it, living it. But, for the price of admission to CCB, thats not for me. The rapid thrill of launching the car is the the party trick that keeps on giving. Dont go there if you may need to brake hard and in a hurry.

    For reference I have a 2018 Porche 911 GTS and a 2018 Shelby GT350R. The interior quality of materials, fit and finish etc in the Porsche is better. The quality in the Tesla I received isn't far behind. Delivery 9-27-23, Ultra red. The Plaid is a little bit quicker lol! My other cars handle like...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I agree, and went into delivery looking for every flaw I could note. After having more time to go over the car post delivery, most of my concerns were crud masquerading as a scratch. I have a service appt for two tiny paint chips on the bottom of a rear passenger rocker. Unless obsessing you...

    The ultra red paint looks to be applied very well. The only minor issues I found as I stated earlier were likely delivery/transport related. I really scrutinized all the glass today as well and they all look perfect. Out in the sun from every angle helps a ton.

    Just want to give a minor update as I had some time today to really wash, and inspect every corner of the car. It's not prefect, but pretty close. I'm happy with the paint, body panels, door jam areas etc... The only flaws are so minor that I may take care of them myself. But always good idea to...

    Turns out it was a false alarm. I was able to pick it off with a nail. Service did reply to a text through the app and said they would make it right. Not needed now.

    new yoke retrofit quote, should I do it?

    I'd like to have both, live with both for a few months. $600 for both I'd do. The winner for "ME" stays the loser goes.

    I dont know how Tesla assembles these parts but it seams reasonable to assume they would use some kind of shim/template to assure things line up. Makes me think its a quality of labor or meeting a quota thing. I dont know but I'm on the sideline trying to learn and figure out what I may be...

    That's a great pic showing the alignment. Why are you going to fix it yourself and not having Tesla do it?
