*shrug* At least I don't own it while its sitting in the service center and my tags get delayed to June.

While we are all sitting here waiting, have you looked into getting tint done? Most quotes I've been getting for the side windows, rear, and windshield are about $1000.

I haven't booked the Y yet but I have an appointment with American Eagle Protint in Tempe for June 22nd to tint the M3. It is going to be $550 for ceramic. This is for 20% rear (including full back window) and 35% on the front.
The Y should be a bit cheaper taking the huge rear window out of the equation. With the factory smoked glass on the rear of the Y, I'll probably just have them do 35% all the way around. If I had to wager a guess it'd be around $450.

Yup. That’s why I’m going ceramic. The wife is going to drive the Y and I worry that 20% on top of the smoked glass will be too dark for her.

Yes, the roof glass resists UV, but none of the others do
Got this exact message last night. Ordered 4/14. Called the SC today to get a more precise period and was told I should be expecting my VIN soon. Who knows what that means?
I believe they just received a large shipment to the DC. I just received my VIN and was a 4/18 order.
4/18!

Windshield sun shades are useful when parked.
Dark tint doesn’t mean it’s more effective. Ceramic tint has the best heat rejection.
With the Tesla you can pre cool the car before you leave.
With the glass roof, even with UV protection, it would be a good idea to get a shade for the roof and/or a shade for the car seat. The sun is still very bright looking up during the day.
Congrats on the new baby and car!
Ordered 04/20. Got MY LR, Silver, Black Interior, Induction Wheels, 5 Seats, No Tow.

I have had three quotes now and I think I am going with AZ Auto Aesthetics (WeDetailAZ.com). They respond quickly, good reviews online, and super informative.
Ceramic tint for all side and rear windows is $599 (you can choose between 5%, 20% and 35% for that price.
They stated that the supplier of tint recommended against tinting the sunroof:
"XPEL (the tint manufacturer) does NOT recommend tinting the top or any sun roof/ moon roof type glass. The reason being that the tint is applied on the inside of the glass and the heat rejection properties can cause the glass to overheat and crack/brake. We don't really have pricing for it because we strongly recommend against it."
So I am probably going to go with a sunshade. We travel a bit for soccer to CA and NV, so will probably be helpful to have that.

Hey guys, first post here. Thought I'd throw some data in the pool:
Ordered: April 9th
Financing: April 16th
Configuration: See screenshot
My 3-week delivery windows have been all over the place, including reverting back to a generic "3-13 weeks" the last couple days. This morning I'm back to a specific range of June 1st-12th. This is the first time I've seen a window narrower than 21 days.
Hoping that means I'll get a VIN soon. Sick of looking at this "proof of insurance required" page in my account. Does anyone actually add a car to their policy without a VIN or firm start date for coverage?
I'm in the pool for Federal jury duty the week of 6/14, so this fluctuation has made it difficult to decide whether to jump on my current Carvana quote before it expires on Tuesday.
