    That's a pretty expensive kit. Did you finance? How much is the monthly?

    I don’t see how you can blame Tesla when the car was even wrapped on delivery.

    I think you should get a wrap or ceramic coat now to protect it going forward!

    Jeez. I definitely fell for this until I zoomed in on the photos after reading... Yikes. I was a bit confused on the "It was only $3" bit... but figured maybe you typo'd that or I read it wrong.

    Good one XD

    Sorry to hear your experience, did the delivery specialist worked out with you eventually to smooth things out? I agreed that the white paintjob on this does looks subpar consider there is extra charge for the paint.

    How's the FSD or AP working out on traffic by the way?

    ;)

    Well the question is did you pay for the white paint or not, if you did, youre probably due a refund since white is now the standard color. Hopefully most of the flat colors will be standard.

    Has anyone bought the $250 model from Tesla? Is it really worth that much?

    My experience has been completely the opposite! I am very happy and did not have all the problems mentioned. I am sure there are lots of other owners that can say the same. A black dot in a bucket of white paint doesn't turn the paint black!!

    Lest some FUD spreader only quote your thread title it should read , - - - - -, white Model Model 3, - - - .

    Seriously, don't even give a hint of an opening to Tesla's enemies.
