It's not hard to find availability but it is more expensive as the material is supposed to be more (due to one big sheet).

I'm seeing $550-$700 for ceramic around Austin. Front windshield (70%) is about $250-$300. The films are Madico, Xpel XR Black, and Pinnacle. The higher grade ceramics, such as Xcel XR Plus and Formula One Stratus is a bit more.
joined the club!! I just changed my order to LR.
I just got back from dropping the car off for the tinting. I was able to turn off the auto high beams as I described with auto pilot engaged. Not sure why you haven't been able to @ForestGump
You're cutting in front of me, but I'm excited for you.
An 8 months' wait is way too long.
I've been out of touch with the charge port issue. How common and how serious is the issue? Is this something that you can live without and have installed later at a service center? How is the issue communicated to you?

Well it’s the charging port on the car, you cannot charge the car without it. It’d be like an ICE not having a gas tank.
Lol how could Tesla or anyone else possibly ship cars that can't be charged

Right? Its literally just a car without the little gas tank looking place where you plug in the charger. I still haven't gotten a text to schedule delivery yet a week after getting my VIN, hoping its not because my car is lacking a port!

It's been communicated to me that the ECU tells the car that it has the charger plugged in and manages how the car charges; it's unable to be delivered without the part unfortunately.
Apparently, this issue is common in our "region" as they always open up the conversation by saying "your car still has a hold on it that is affecting 10's of thousands of cars in your region. We do not have an estimated date when the part will come but we'll text you asap once it is installed and passes inspection". I've gotten that story everyday for the past two weeks until the update yesterday.
There hasn't been any true correlation between when you receive that text and when you get your VIN. Some people got them closer to their OD and some have got them closer to getting their VIN. So it could mean nothing and it could mean you're a couple days from getting your VIN assigned.
I don't have any advice on when you should hold your delivery but you could always reach out to your SA.

Just saw a truck full of Tesla’s driving into Phoenix on my way to LA. So hopefully a few you guys get your cars this week in arizona.
The only explanation is that the factory felt this part should have been readily available/installable at the delivery center, so why hold up order fulfillment if the part exists elsewhere on the supply chain.
Which means either a gross miscommunication or some other reason for why the delivery facilities weren’t able or willing to address this more quickly. But I can’t imagine these cars would have been shipped with any degree of awareness that it would be 3-5 weeks before the part would be installed.
Ah yes, my build. MSM with the Sport wheels is godly. I'd be upset if MSM wasn't a base color. Congrats!
We are excited for them, but secretly envious.You're cutting in front of me, but I'm excited for you.
