That's is a much smaller difference than I would have expected based. Good to know that it's probably not worth the money.

Guess I'll expect my window to get pushed out next week.EDD tightened from 7/8-7/22 to 7/9-7/16. No option to schedule delivery yet. Local SC still looks bare with no new cars on the lot.
Just saw the latest flyover video of Fremont factory from 7/6 and it looked like a ghost town.
I’m guessing production hasn’t resumed yet but the system has just allocated parts and assigned VINs for the first batch of cars to be made in preparation for when factory is running again.

I’m doing 72 for lower minimum payments but I’ll try to double the payments when I can to pay it off in about 3-4 years.
If I do the top of the line tint for all the windows and windshield looking at around 1k. Personally im going with the mid trim and would cost me 750 dollars, but I am not sure if I want to do the windshield don’t really see the benefit.
update 102 days no movement on my EDD. From the video a couple posts before this looks like Tesla still hasn’t started making cars yet so don’t expect my car to come in until like end of the month or sometime in August. Looks like I will be about 130 to 140 days to delivery. Yay me
48-60 depending on the rates whenever I get my vin.
I was advised not to do above 60, but I’m going to do the lowest amount of months I can afford to get the payments over as quickly as possible whilst still having money left over for saving.

Question for the other WA peeps. I think I know the answer but I keep getting confused. Is the M3LR eligible for the WA state sales tax exemption? Or do I understand it correctly that a car must cost less than $45k to be eligible?

I’m doing 84 for lower payments but just like @E90alex I’m planning on doubling up and paying it back quicker. Depending on how rates go I may also refinance in a year or two. I did that with my last car as my financial position changed and I paid it off sooner.

Yeah the car must cost less than $45k so not eligible. My final price breakdown shows 10.4% tax on the full amount

Consider this advice from a financial guru, Clark Howard
Are You Following Clark's Maximum Auto Loan Length Rule?
Most of us have auto loans that are 30 months too long to qualify as a good financial choice. Here's the longest you should ever take out a car loan for!

Yep - High-end roll of Avery Dennison cost about $650 for M3. If you have time and some basic skills, it a lot easier than PPF to install.
Day 110 for me with no movement so far
I think you can blame people like me from Illinois, a whole bunch of us just lifted our holds due to the EV incentive that started last week. I jumped right back in front of you since my OD is from February.Day 110 for me with no movement so far

The windshield creates a lot of heat on the dashboard and front seats. If done in a light color - say 70%, it rejects almost 50% of the heat, that's substantial - especially in Texas on a smoking hot, 100+ degree sunny day.
Man, the part that sucks is NC tint law doesn't allow any tint below the AS1 line on the windshield. I don't think it'd cause any problems since I'm not usually speeding anyway, never got a ticket.
