2021 heated steering wheel Discussion thread

[JulienW]

Does this mean that the car was built in feb -21? Really fast delivery I that case...

Makes you realize what Elon meant by not giving the paint time to dry.

Born on date= 2/21

Assuming you meant 1/21?

 

[Devils son]

Or week 2 2021?

I’m thinking Feb/21. I wonder if Tesla prioritized folks with Q4 2020 orders. May have direct shipped from Fremont.

Now we need someone who has the heated steering wheel to take it apart and see if it's retrofittable... FOR SCIENCE!

Unrelated question, your doors don't have the new wood inserts, do they?

Tim

I'm curious too!! Just turned down my order today because I want to make sure I do have the heated steering wheel!

 

[eladts]

Any chance you also have the new taillights with amber turn signals?

 

[SixZoSeven]

When was your car built?

Tim

I don't actually have one (although I'm looking to purchase this year).

Could you take a picture of the steering wheel? So that we can see if there are differences again in the meantime?

Will post a picture tomorrow (when the sun is out)… been busy all day today

Old door panels. Have the black interior. I think (personal preference) that the white seats and new interior looks great… the black interior with new panels, not so much.

I’m about 40 miles away from the factory… so, it’s possible.

Door label says 02/21. ‍

Will have to take a look tomorrow. No clue what color they actually blink. Since I’ll never see them… I don’t really care.

What’s crazy… is they texted me on Monday 2/1 to let me know that my car would be delivered on 2/4 (contactless delivery).
I was at home and met the delivery driver… super cool guy. Left me a present in the car.
Red die-cast M3 (appears to be a 2018-2020 model tho).

Woooooot.
Guess I am the 1st M3 (in the US) to get a heated steering wheel (that is working).
Hopefully ALL 2021 M3’s got the heated steering wheel (even if they don’t want it).

Only Tesla could blow up headlines for adding a fricking heated steering wheel HAHA
