Picked up mine yesterday but didn't take pics the day of since itwas cold and raining. Took that time to go through all the settings and install all the accessories I bought (noticably the wheel caps). Loving everything so far and planning on making the frunk and trunk logos red. Debating on PPF at the moment.

Looks gorgeous. If it is okay, please share about ppf experience if you decide to do so. Many congratulations!
And of course after I send this I got my Vin late last night 3/27 lol
Took me about 2 months from ordering (1/23) to pick up (3/25). In those 2 months, Tesla essentially only got through about 2 maybe 3 weeks of MYLR orders, although that was because of the surge of orders after the price drop.
My guess is that for the next 2 months worth of orders it'll probably take about 3-4 months for Tesla to get through them so I would expect a VIN number until the latter half of June.
Thanks appreciate it, picking up tomorrow morning. Very fast from Vin assigned yesterday to when do you wanna pickup lol
Just looked at my Uberturbines, and they are not symmetrical either, if that makes you feel better.
Great! Many congratulations! Enjoy! Please share your pick up experience if you can
Sure will for whatever reason my SA called and its pushed to Friday. So picking up then and straight to tint shop. Will provide my experience.
clean! was contemplating doing this myself.
so far only the "dual motor" badge was taken off when the ppf was going on. decided not to put it back on.
Looks good. Will probably completely steal this idea.
Thanks, I love the black on black look, gives it a stealth/subtle look! The matte finish matches the trim and the lettering looks so much better than the Chrome T imo
Lol go right on ahead, definitely stole it from someone on YouTubeLooks good. Will probably completely steal this idea.
I should add that the paint quality was pretty bad on my model Y. The pickup location did a cheap wax detail that covered up imperfections but after I stripped the wax in a good wash I saw that I had my work cut out for me.
My car was probably on the top of a truck facing backwards, in this first pic these are bug guts on the bumper that were caked into the paint. This is how it looked after I stripped the wax, clay bar, and washed again:
Noticed lots of swirls and scratches after I debadged:
Also, I guess my rear T was installed when the paint was still soft, so after debadged and buffed like crazy, there is a T indent still:
It took me two days to do paint correction, still waiting in the garage for my PPF to come in but after that deep detail and two coats of ceramic she's a beauty
After:
From a detailers eye there are still imperfections that I couldn't fix and even some mistake I made with ceramic but to the average person it's immaculate
