I thought about buying the rim savers, but I decided that the best rim saver is me just being careful. The downward-tilting mirrors when reversing have been immensely helpful - since I started using those primarily when backing up, I've haven't curbed the rims once!So here's what's happened since I received the car on 6/24.
Week 1: PPF - Xpel Ultimate Plus. Partial hood, full front bumper, all doors edge guards, rocker panels front to back, rear splash areas, lights, mirrors.
Tint - Xpel Ceramic XR+. Windows & rear 35%, Roof & Windshield 70%
Ceramic Coating - Xpel Fusion full vehicle including wheels.
Xpel Dallas corporate location did a good job.
Week 2: RPM Tesla accessories - Rim savers (not so good), mud flaps (highly recommend), trunk sill plate covers (good), rear air vent covers (crap).
Tesmanian - Full mat set (decent, not as good as all-weather mats I've used before with Sonata/Avalon/CRV/Infiniti), performance foot pedals (good), jack pads (they do their job).
Abstract Ocean - Roof noise reduction kit (I think it works, placebo effect??), second row seat back covers (highly recommend for anyone with pets).
Amazon - Spigen tempered glass protector matte (highly recommend), Luumtee 2 piece front & arm console organizers (good), Tescamp headrest pillow white (highly recommend for comfort as well as keeping headrest clean if you have oily skin/hair), KMMotors arm console cover diamond black (good), basenor door latch covers (good).
Week 3: Texas Tax - Tesla paperwork arrived, took about 15 minutes to pay the tax at the local tax assessor office, got permanent plates, and 1yr inspection sticker. $4600+ ouch! Had ordered a custom plate 2 weeks ago but it's yet to arrive. Can't wait for that, my first splurge on a plate given that regular plates in TX are lifetime. Hopefully it makes people chuckle and reduces their likelihood to road rage.
Tesla Service Appointments - two mobile visits so far. One to clean the interior lining in several spots that were dirty at point of delivery, second to swap out the key cards that were warped at time of delivery as well. Both were treated as warranty items and the techs were on time & super courteous.

Whoaaaa! Congrats Soklean...I'm a 7/7 order date and exact same specs. Would be pretty sweet to get my MYLR that quickly.Just confirmed with my SA vehicle will arrive on 07/19 for pick up. Feeling really lucky and I hope everyone gets some good news as well.
I could be wrong, but I'm assuming tesla wants to give you more detailed and accurate EDDs. So, they try to automate it by adjusting dates based on supplies for your model and their assembly plan. Many factors automated and coded will always be fluctuating.I don't get it. Looking at your first EDD on June 5th and your last on July 16th, they are only 3 days different. Why couldn't they just leave the dates alone this whole time rather than taking you on such a rollercoaster. If the dates remained the same for a few weeks we'd all stop looking every day and just assume the date is correct. Instead with it changing every day, we are compulsively drawn to checking it all the time.
Gotta disagree. The Supercharging network is Tesla’s best asset right now. If they allow others to use it they give up a major advantage to competitors. There are many out there that are car agnostic and it’s the SN that brings them into Tesla. With access to the SN many other brands will get an immediate boost to their sales. This will hurt more than help Tesla in the short term.Man, seriously? I imagine in the early days of Ford Model T and internal combustion transportation, Ford wasn't going around signing exclusive use agreements with gas station to only supply Ford vehicles with gas.
Similarly, we're in the early days of EV transportation, and an amp is an amp. If Tesla's goal is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, opening up Supercharger access can only help get all of us over to a predominantly EV system.
LOLLooks like we are rolling together with similar EDD . VIN any day now.
true. a roller coaster starts at a point and ends at same point, but keeps going up and down LOLTo be fair, your current EDD is remarkably close to the original EDD from back in early June. It's like if you just slept for a month and half and ignored the roller coaster ride, nothing would've really changed. The real fun starts when you get a VIN assigned and pray that Lord Elon doesn't take your VIN away.
I think we need to encourage Buc'ees to put in charging stations - talk about destination chargingYep, dead serious. We pay a premium for Teslas and part of that is to build and sustain the supercharger network. As I said, I have no problem with larger access, as long as those other folks pay a premium to pay for the network too.
Congrats to you! Very jealous!I got a response from my SA today; my 229xxx VIN was built with the HEPA filter/bioweapon defense mode! They're anticipating that the car will arrive between 7/29-8/3, which is fairly close to the 7/25-7/31 still shown on the website.
Someday.....hopefully!I think we need to encourage Buc'ees to put in charging stations - talk about destination chargi
Mine moved back to 8/3-8/23...maybe we can share an Uber from MKE??Mine jumped back up to 8/6-8/26 today
check about 8 pages ago... its was shortly after this morning that people were posting in response that someone with a 255x VIN had confirmed it...Where? How did you find these posts? I searched everywhere for VIN + bio or HEPA and could not find. Guess I'm not doing it right. Please send a link. Thanks!
crazy how all our ED's are so close together and update the same wayMine moved back to 8/3-8/23...maybe we can share an Uber from MKE??

I had to message my SA about it... they will take care of the tag transfer for you and provide you with an updated registration. you take the tag and mount it to the MY when you get it delivered.so further to my post earlier, got touchless delivery coming next Wednesday around 1500hrs. Now forgive me if this is a stupid question, but i'm not familiar with how the US license plate business works. We've got the plates being transferred from our Tiguan to the MY, do I have to do anything or do tesla do all that, or do I have to go to the DMV and sort it myself?
I agree. The charging network is what sets Tesla apart from the rest. I have wanted a Tesla for a long time but the reason why I wanted has changed over the years. 2-3 years ago it was because Tesla was the only one that offered an EV for under 50k that had 200+ mile range and isn't a car that everyone has. But now there are cars out there that hit what I need 200+ miles per charge (have a 4 year that can't go more than that at one given time), have fast charging, has OTA update, nice tech, driver assistance. But what kept me at Tesla was the network, realistically the closest competitor to the charging network is Electrify America and those charges have issue, and what will it be like in 5 years when EVs are all over? Ford, VW, Audi, Chevy, Porsche etc are all equipping their cars to use that network. So in 5 years that network is going to be in brutal shape because to stay ahead of the rush they had to start building and planning for it years ago and didn't.Gotta disagree. The Supercharging network is Tesla’s best asset right now. If they allow others to use it they give up a major advantage to competitors. There are many out there that are car agnostic and it’s the SN that brings them into Tesla. With access to the SN many other brands will get an immediate boost to their sales. This will hurt more than help Tesla in the short term.
yeah same here, we sold my husbands F150 Harley 2012 a bit over a month ago now I think... its been challenging at times but when you get 30k for an old beat up truck how can you possibly walk away from that!Thats why I took on the inconvenience of having one less car in the household. I sold my truck when the prices were at their peak.
