I finished installing the PPF from Drive Protected over the weekend. It was a lot of work but came out quite good! Only had a couple minor mistakes, and goofed once in cutting the individual pieces off of the roll and cut into one of the A-pillar pieces. (oops!) Most pieces I found easy to...

Sounds like you're onto something with the occupancy sensor on the driver's seat. I'd check underneath to see if any loose wire harness connections, could be a quick fix.

Moving right along with the Drive Protected PPF install this weekend. Took Friday off so now I'm 2 full days in and have finished everything except the bumpers, hatch, and rear quarters. It took half a day just to do all the steps wash and prep. It's coming out pretty nicely. It's definitely...

Ok so I caught a flash sale and bought the full car PPF kit from Drive Protected. I have a nice weekend project now (maybe a few weekends really), but looking forward to the reduced anxiety about rock chips, scratches, etc. (And hopefully a reduction in the future time I spend buffing out...

Just returned from my first (and hopefully last) service appointment, having Tesla take care of a few alignment issues from delivery. I'm very happy with the results! On delivery (May 1), there was trunk misalignment, contacting the tail light assembly, hanging past the bumper, and making some...

Wow my app usage is nowhere near that! Just 1% over several days. I'm on Android (pixel 7 pro) and use the default "Optimize" battery setting for the Tesla app. This sounds like a good topic for making a different thread (or maybe there is one already)? I have both the MY and a...

Response from yesterday: Thank you for your participation in MOR-EV. Your application is approval ready. However, because of recent changes to the MOR-EV program requirements and funding sources, you will likely experience delays in receiving your rebate while the funding and payment mechanisms...

I got the same one. First thing I did when I got the car home was remove that parcel shelf. It's too inconvenient when I'm constantly putting and removing bulky things like folding chairs for kids sport events.

Same here. I also just got the Tesmanian all-weather floor mats today and they are a perfect fit! I like how there's virtually no gap between the door sill and the mat for dirt, salt, etc. to slip through. I'm still able to put the KropBom under-seat storage bins under the rear of the...

I've been thinking/asking the same question. I've done rear bumper protectors before and felt that was pretty easy, but sounds like full PPF is pretty labor intensive to get it right. I might do the same and start by getting just the front section before committing to buying PPF for the whole...

Added a few things to my service ticket and it bumped the appointment out 1.5 weeks until the 22nd. I'd put a service ticket on day 1 for the trunk, but added the other things to the app's service menu later which forced me reschedule. Wish I had time to go over it more thoroughly and do this...

Mine finished calibration partway through the ~15 mile drive to home from the SC. I had to go through the menus to find and enable autosteer. I've used it on local roads for parts of several drives and it's interesting but not perfect. Have not yet had any of the "phantom braking" that others...

Thanks for that - I will add that to my service ticket when they adjust the hatch next week. Might also have them check the headlight aim, I think they're too high and I got flashed a few times by oncoming cars yesterday.

Yeah I got the same Spigen, front console, hidden armrest, plus this rear center one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BP5PCJS3?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I ordered the Tesmanian armrest console organizer and their floor mats. Also got these door inserts which fit great though took...

PPF on the rear doors, no mud flaps.

Congrats on finally getting your Tesla! It was an exciting day here too!

Yes they fixed the misaligned window in under an hour which was my biggest concern. Going to schedule service to have the hatch realigned. In hindsight I might have just had them do that today and wait a couple hours rather than go back another day. Since it took longer than planned already, I...

1. Having just taken delivery in MA, it was about 2 weeks after VIN from Austin. I believe 7 seater will come from Fremont, might be 3 weeks. 2. You can get a rough range here: Trade-in | Tesla To get a trade-in offer enter the info directly in the Tesla app. It will ask about condition...

Good luck!

Delivery day! A few minor issues to report on this Austin VIN: A bit of misalignment of the trunk. It sticks out past the bumper slightly on the right side and is tight against the right tail light. They said it can be adjusted but take a few hours. Gave choice of waiting or come back, I...

Looks like these would cover the worst area, though I was contemplating getting the entire car PPF kit. I spend a lot of time buffing out scratches on my cars (though maybe white paint they don't show as much?), and would be nice to not worry about that so much. Still it does cost a lot though...

Anyone here try the DIY precut PPF from Drive Protected?

Do these fees end up on excise tax also, or just sales tax?

Tesla asked me to sign the MA application for title, and they lump in the destination and order fees into the MSRP line on the form. They insist this is normal practice. I find this strange though. My configuration is just base LR + tow at $50,990. Seems like it will have tax implications...

Well I got the call from Tesla today confirming delivery, registration, trade-in, etc. The car has arrived in Dedham, though I still have to wait for my Monday appointment as they're booked solid. The anticipation is intense!

I think I'm going to avoid getting the trunk mat this time. Have those in both our current cars and it has spent most of the time outside the car because it makes it much more challenging to get to the compartments underneath.

Well, today's the day I was told my car was supposed to arrive at the SC, though I'm not scheduled for delivery until Monday. I was going for picking up late as possible in case prices drop again, but looks like probably not based on MY inventory going down. Wondering if they will let me...

I got the schedule delivery text on 4/22, 6 days before the 4/28 that I was told the vehicle is supposed to arrive. I'm surprised you haven't received one yet if it's arriving on 5/2, but I'd guess you should be getting that text this week. It feels weirdly calm being in the gap after having...

About $0.39 flat rate in MA at the moment. Fortunate to have free workplace EV charging. Also got solar + powerwall at home about 5 years ago that roughly breaks even with the house needs. Really glad to have that too.

I see from your signature you've got your VIN now! :) Yeah I'm scheduled for May 1 delivery. I was told it's supposed to arrive there on the 28th from Austin.

Yeah, I've been confused about that too, but the SA told me they coordinate it with the insurance co. I just uploaded my existing policy declarations page into the app for now, and hopefully that will be sufficient. It might be possible for your insurance to generate a new policy document...

Nice, congrats! I finally got the delivery scheduling text today. Gave me either 4/29 or 5/1, and I waffled over it for a while but grudgingly picked 5/1. If I did 4/29 and they lowered the price again between then and 5/1, I'd never forgive myself 🤣

That's weird, I assume it should have matched you if same delivery location and config. Can you go to "Manage" order and do you see a blue button for Accelerated Delivery? If so, see if you can select that car. EDIT - I glossed over the detail that you already had a VIN. So you're probably...

I assume this is just getting the estimated range. When you have an order and enter trade-in info and photos in the app, they spend several days and give an offer like this, which you can accept or reject: The range they gave me at Trade-in | Tesla on the same day was 22.1-25.6k. I asked...

That's interesting, I'll try searching on this topic as I had not heard of getting less at trade-in than the offer from Tesla. I mean, they ask for lots of photos and information, I'd assume as long as you are truthful they would honor their quote. I would walk on accepting the Tesla if they...

Still waiting for delivery scheduling here. My SA texted it's in transit with ETA of 4/28. My trade-in had to be renewed and dropped by $300. Currently debating whether to attempt to private sale my Prius, which I already spent like 6+ hours detailing back when my EDD was late March. I still...

What they indicated matches my experience. The "Accelerated Delivery" button that sometimes shows up under manage order seems to only show ones in-state and I think only at the same delivery center you're assigned to. At one point I saw a blue one in stock at a different MA location and...

Hang tight! I expect you'll get a VIN within days. On the Teslike tracker, there was another MA order one day before mine that got VIN one day before me: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mM8-WVTzJ74qgHZhwtLPpKtzAyCCXTDofOFpFUsqdiA/edit#gid=0

After hearing about all this NJ rebate chaos I have changed my opinion about the rebates at point of sale being a good thing. I'm happy to submit on my own and get a rebate check in the mail. Tesla is obviously not motivated to ensure customers secure their rebates:

Accelerated delivery button will appear on your manage order website if any available.

Wow! I've been waiting since January for that exact configuration.

Was it that the rear hatch is misaligned with the roof giving that appearance, or is the glass roof set deeper into the roof structure on the left than the right? Did they say it's not something that can be fixed? I would assume they would just assign you the next available VIN in that...

Yeah, I'm not thrilled about the lack of USS (or radar for that matter). I don't *need* it but wish it was still possible to get. It doesn't look like they're going to add USS back though. I'm still planning to proceed as it's unclear there would be a better time to buy in the next year...

Received VIN today! 81 days since order

Congratulations!!

Breaking news! VIN received! Showed up in app and I clicked through the Tesla vision screen.

My prior post should have been "Assuming you filed form 1040 on 2022 taxes", but it won't let me edit it. I'll caveat I'm not a tax professional, just speaking from experience as someone who does his own tax returns and have taken the EV credit twice in 2017 and 2022 tax years. beewang has a...

Assuming you filed form 1040 on 2020 taxes, look at lines 16-24. Line 16 is your total tax liability based on adjusted income. We got a $7500 EV credit last year, and the credit ends up on line 20, which gets subtracted from the tax on line 16. Line 24 is your total tax liability after all...

Your range is pretty close to mine. Wondering if my 4/23-5/21 may shift soon? I suspect it will actually end up being in mid-May though. You mentioned earlier seeing another MA order from 1/23 just getting VIN now? I'm not in a huge rush now that the tax credit will stay. Looks like...

There seem to be several states in the NE and NW corners that have much longer wait. Seems mainly the ones that had high state rebates. MA has $3500 if under $55K MSRP so many people ordering base models with 5 seat 19". I think NJ and a couple others are in similar situations.
