Posting this on behalf of my 75 year old mother who is not on this forum, lets welcome another person the Tesla family! She placed her order in the last couple days of January 2023 after the big price drop and just took delivery this Wednesday May 3rd. It's a MY LR, white with black interior, no other options.
The price came down again after she placed the order, and they did extend the new price to her since she hadn't received her VIN at that point. The gaps and everything were perfect EXCEPT a decent looking flaw in the paint on the LF fender. I don't know what it was, it looked like a scuff mark into the paint but they took it to the service guys and when they came back 5 minutes later the paint was perfect. It must've been something just on the surface that they were able to wipe off, it was a sunny day and even in the reflection the paint was flawless.
She's pretty sharp and is picking up how everything works pretty quick, she's always liked techy stuff. She's had solar panels on her roof for several years now and has been wanting a Tesla for a while and here she is!

Thanks! Also, I found that it is not smart, doesn't provide connectivity with app. I just canceled.
Although my parents are financially comfortable and could easily afford any automobile they wanted, they're pretty frugal when it comes to most purchases. For decades, they've bought a modest, new Chevrolet every few years. Mom currently drives an Equinox and, quite honestly, they rarely have any trouble with them. She secretly wants a Cadillac some day, but would never ask for one and knows that Dad would say "no - that's excessive", anyway.
At their age, they prefer cable TV over streaming and newspapers over computers. Still, I think she'd love the convenience of an EV if and when Dad is no longer around to change the oil and put gas in her vehicle. She's way more "tech-y" than he is, but I think a Tesla would be too unconventional for her. I'd love to see her enjoy something like a Cadillac Lyriq during her lifetime, though.
Congrats to your mom!
The "regular" Wall Connector doesn't connect with the Tesla app here in the US, either. I think that's only for the UK so far.
I'm not quite sure what benefits this provides, anyway - things like scheduled charging, current limits, and charging history are already in the Tesla app regardless of how you charge the vehicle. And, you can control charging access to the Wall Connector by connecting to it's built-in webpage. The Wall Connector can connect to Wi-Fi to receive updates, but that's redundant because it gets software updates when plugged in to a Wi-Fi-connected Tesla.

Wall connector just got delivered. Lol No notice or tracking.
LOL! WTH for?? @ $50 bucks??!! That's alot of quarters gas station pump.
Also, I wouldn't want to use compressed air in my Car tires. Costco BABY!! Free nitrogen air fill and I buy all my tires at Costco!
cheers!

Not powerful enough to completely inflate an auto tire, more for a bike tire or just adding a few lbs to auto tire. Get one that either is powered by car's 12vdc, lion rechargable battery, or 120 vac.
I got it as well. Picked up from BestBuy. Just one available in the entire NJ.
Naturally, a full report is expected!

I have one similar to that and it does work. Better than the ones you used to plug into your cigarette lighter. Not as good as stopping at a Gas Station / Wawa / etc. to add air.

Best of luck! May your car be 80% charged and your paint flawless. You panel gaps within tolerance and your financials figured out.
