Delivery was cool...the red is freakin gorgeous especially with the nova wheels.... makes it stand out... car had panel gaps, told SA, he says it is what it is, they have gotten better but its still not perfect... :)
compare the front door which is fine versus the back one, also the back bumper which is fine to the upper trunk

this is unfortunate but I did see a meme yesterday where enzo ferrari said “I don’t care if the car has panel gaps, when the driver hits the gas I want him to *sugar* his pants”. ..perhaps the matrix is watching us

@Vybz, what gaps? I honestly don’t see them. Haha, maybe I’m not as picky. I enlarged the image. Now I’m afraid for my car - I have the same configuration. But the red is absolutely gorgeous. I call it Red with Authority :). Enjoy it.

Update:
Now I see them. That’s not a big issue, is it? It won’t leak or anything? Would that allow noise in?

@jjuice should be soon for you!
 

So I wanted to get people's opinion in this, when I'm driving I sometimes hear this quite annoying high-pitched whistling coming from the driver's side door. It is not all the time but enough to notice, I thought it might be an issue with the window seal, but as you can see you can still hear it with the window down. Is this is a normal sound or is there an issue? (Had to upload to Youtube in order for people to view)
I test drove two and both had wind leak from driver door like this. they've improved a lot but still not completely sealed up. It is so quiet overall that even a small leak stands out more than in a regular car!
 
Update 7: Pickup scheduled for 3/22 @ 1015

@jjuice should be soon for you!
ok... you got vin on 3/9. I got vin 3/10. You got new edd 5 days later (yesterday) with smaller and sooner window. I got my vin 5 days ago so I should get a smaller and sooner edd window today. And since you got your delivery scheduled today, I should get mine scheduled tomorrow! I approve this timeline Elon.

LFG!!!

upset with myself for even looking. but there's a performance model Y in the color combo I ordered my M3 in.. sitting on a lot near my house. about $1000 more than what I paid for the M3. It could be in the garage tonight. very tempted but might feel like a sucker playing into thier hand
Yup, I was just looking at the same thing... inventory MYP, blue on white.

Quite the range hit down to 279. I like the Y but someone said it looks like the 3 was stung by a bee and now I can't unsee it! But I say go for it, if that means I get my car sooner!:)

i think the long range Y is the best deal going right now.
I have concerns about the rwd Y, haven't driven one yet, but seems like too much car for a rwd vs awd, and its a bit sluggish from what i see.
If it was the LFP battery might be enticing, but Its not.
 
Right. I am 5 days from my EDD window opening. And I do still want the new hotness M3. And this whole idea is supposed to be a small third car mainly for my short commute. My other cars have the flash and performance. So I have patience, but if my window gets bumped ... im doing it. The charger install is teasing my so badly. I see the glowing green light in the morning leaving for work and its like it is mocking me.
