LR RWD Waiting Room

[mgeneczko]

Shopping too for mine. I already have the Aero Wheel Cap kit and have the 14-50 adapter on order. Which wireless charger did you guys buy? Jeda or Nomad? I think the Jeda cause you can put the phone horizontally.....

Ha I’m right there with you! Wow that is a bit optimistic but that’s great ha ha. I was probably planning on tinting as well, I know the place but just wanted to wait until I get some sort of estimated date!

Yeah, going with Ceramic tints, 15% limo on back windows and rear windshield, and 50% on fronts. $529 out the door, 4 hours install.

BTW, which front license plate bracket did you get?

There are a lot of great options, but I picked https://www.1975creations.com/product-page/tesla-model-3-front-license-plate-bracket
mostly due to its positioning above and in front of the car so I can still clean behind and it still has the most ventilation.

From my research it seems the Jeda (version 2) is better in all regards (in the higher end, Taptes seems good cheaper option). A bit less bulky, allows horizontal, a slight bit cheaper, and most of all still allows for wired charging (with adapter).

Is there a way to mount a front plate without buying something?

Cool, those are my thoughts too. I also got my charging plug installed on my driveway. I live in an urban environment and purchased a new house in January. This house has a driveway which is hard to come by in my area and one of the main reasons we got this place. When we looked at it for the first time, my wife is inside and i'm outside figuring if a charging plug can be installed. Been waiting a long time for this car! Like all of us....

Yes, you actually don’t need to buy a mount at all, they provide one to you, but it’s secured with adhesive so I personally worry about paint damage after. Totally not necessary though.

I can't justify buying the bracket and will probably just use the adhesive mount that Tesla will give me. I figured, once it's there, it's there. I would rather use the money to put a clear 'bra' on the front of the car to protect the paint from rocks, chips and bugs.

Are you referring to PPF or is there some other kind of 'bra'?

Cool thanks. I'm not sure what I'll do yet. I have looked at the Bandit, but might do the "free" toggle bolt method. There are 4 M3s here at work and a couple have used Tesla's option, one is mounted low (so I'm assuming toogle bolt method, and one has no bracket at all).

Yeah.. Scotchgard™ Pro Series Paint Protection Film (PPF) | 3M

I WILL NOT install it myself. there's a bunch of shops locally that will do it. Just need to figure out how much coverage i need, for the price depends on how much you want covered.

Have you guys looking for a front plate considered the license plate wrap? I’m going without the front plate in CA, but I’d definitely go with this if I had to have a plate. Tested by the California Highway Patrol of Sacramento

My sales advisor updated and said my M3 is in queue at the factory and his gut tells him I'll have a vin around next Monday.. Fingers crossed.

Was this from a local sales advisor/the person who helped you with your order?

Ugh.....another week?? Now if they only guaranteed that...

 

[SoManyM3s]

I guess if they're manufacturing them now, we can still hope for a last week of June delivery. Ugh.

If only we knew for sure. Ugh.

 

[rollie028]

Well, this is cool. i just called Walnut Creek and sales guy told me that the LR RWD are being manufactured already and i should be hearing/getting VIN this week for they are running the batch!! I'm not sure if this is something they were told, or they actually have insight to the manufacturing schedule? Either way, this is encouraging, right? i'm thinking if one of us gets a VIN, it will be bam bam bam, and we'll be posting pics of our cars!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna go ahead and press checkout on my cart that I've built over the past 2 weeks for the Tesla.

Here's what I have, any thing I should add? (Don't need the wireless charger)

Screen protector
Vinyl wrap center console
Console organizer
USB hub
Floor mats
Door open stickers
Wheel kit
Performance pedal covers
Front and back roof shades

Looks like a good list to me! BTW, what are door open stickers?

Sales advisor in Fremont I was emailing prior to ordering.. I have a local advisor who contacted me after I ordered and amended my lr awd order to rwd.
