Interesting... Things changed... USAA required military requirements too. I wonder if they changed. Thanks for clarifying...

USAA might have changed. I bought a M.B. thru their purchase service 8 years ago and had to provide my previous military status. If I recall properly, it's also available to relatives. Not at all sure if it's open to non-military.

Haven’t needed or tried it yet but it is listed as a feature.

Yes. And it feels good on the hands - even when not cold out.

Good to know; I panic here in S. Florida when the temp dips below 76°F
Took delivery today with the Pirellis, with the assurance that my all-season tires are on their way to the Lancaster PA service center (closer to me). They’ll swap them out there.

I finally get my summers swapped for AS on 9/27. Wonder what they do with the “used” Pirellis?
Took delivery today in Devon PA. It went way smoother than my Model 3 delivery there in 2018. Took all of 30 minutes.
The car was absolutely fine. No odd panel gaps, no paint issues, fit and finish were great. Everything worked fine. Came with floor mats. Trunk cover was the only item missing. They’ll give me a shout when it arrives. They’re shipping the all-season tires to the Lancaster center for me, where I’ll swap out the Pirelli summer tires.
I know there is a lot of frustration with Tesla’s communication or lack thereof. I was frustrated too. And the delays and pushed back dates are agony. But let me say that this car makes it so worth it once you get in! I loved my Model 3 and was really worried I’d miss it. Nope. This is a far better driving experience for me. Hang in there, folks, you’ll be thrilled when that big day finally comes!

How do you like the car and the yoke, now that you have had the car for a couple weeks? I usually get over the initial excitement of a new car after about 2 weeks, so some real world feedback is greatly appreciated, especially when driving around on PA roads. Do you still smile/grin when you get in and drive it each day?

Good news is they are swapping tires; bad news is they are spending huge bucks unnecessarily - if they checked destinations "prior" to shipping...

The car is an absolute beast and a joy to drive. The yoke is cool, and I have no problem driving with it. I don’t even mind the stalkless turn signals. I’ve had it for almost a month but really only a couple of weeks due to PPF/ceramic/tint service. The ride is smooth and quiet and handling is tremendous. As first time Tesla owner, my learning curve is pretty steep, but it’s fun exploring new things every day.
Took my first road trip this week, and had my first experience at a Supercharger. I’m sure the few cars there before me got a good laugh at the newbie who had to get out of his MS three times to check to see if he was close enough for the cord to reach. Lol.
Highway driving is a blast, again, so smooth and quiet. And the acceleration from 65 to 100 is awesome. It’s over quickly but quite the rush.
Not sure when the excitement will wear off, but for me, there’s no end in sight right now. Hope this helps!
It is the Goodyear tire on the 2019-2020 Model S. The Goodyear tire before 2019 was a T0 tire. The service center in Decatur Georgia to this day has no idea there is a difference, even thoughTesla posted a blog about upgrading the rolling resistance of the tires on the 2019 Model S.
I have a question not related to the delivery but about the car. I found there is a loud noise when my MS LR moving in reverse. Not sure whether it should be defined as the "noise" but it is definitely not as quiet as when the car is moving forward.
Previous two Tesla I drove didn't have that sound. I am wondering whether it's the issue on my car or the effects created by Tesla on purpose. If you took the delivery already, can you share whether your car has the loud sound when reversing? Thank you.
