Got a phone call tonight from Tesla trying to get me to switch to a model Y. I have a feeling they know I can’t get a M3P in Q2
Not doing PPF. I had it before and I don’t feel that it’s worth it for a car in this price range.
The turnaround time for just ceramic + tint is only 24 hours, so I can manage without the car for that long. Dropping mine off on Monday morning and picking up the next day.
We need some new terms "on fumes". how about he was rolling in "plating electrodes"
Thanks for pointing out, again, hadn't realized. (......checks app again for vin.)
Awsome, congratulations. Still holding out for the Blue Black here. With only 11 miles perfect. I can tell you the ones I have test drove you probably don't want. They were pretty hard miles. As for the the show room cars, I have never farted in one, not one. I mean who farts in show cars, that's just crazy talk.
Commeon you know you wanna customize, Maby just a little bit.... Out of Spec Renew has some nice YT vids on some full customized M3's

Yes! I usually don’t answer when I don’t recognize the number but the caller id showed Tesla so I thought it was important if they were calling me so I answered. I told the rep no and then he wish me luck on getting a M3P
I didn’t, this is my 4th Tesla. I’ll inspect thoroughly later and open any issues on the App. It was a quick 5 min pick up and it was very hot. Taking it for tint tomorrow!
I looked them up. The new Highland wheels. I have no info on them. Glad they fit.
Looking forward to hearing your findings and seeing picks of all the fitments!Package Secured
Tigard, OR - There were two other Ultra Reds for around the same pickup window today!

Weighing, measuring, testing, and changing things starting next week! Didn't get a chance to drive it too much today - mostly stuck in traffic. if you're curious about anything on the new car or the delivery experience, just reply and ask!
For any Portland locals who would like to come check out our new car at our meet this Sunday, feel free to contact me for more details. Especially, if you also took delivery of a Highland M3P, we would love to have you this weekend!

Scheduled delivery for Tuesday. I could have picked it up Sunday, but out of town Sunday and Monday.

After spending 150 miles in the car and getting a chance to really look, I have only found two issues, so far. One totally cosmetic, and one not a big deal as long as a seal is still being created correctly. I reported both as service issues, really hoping at least the door can be mobile service. With the service centers only open on weekdays, that makes it hard to find time and hope they don't need to keep the car when its so far from me.
Totally cosmetic but right in my face, An issue with the material under the LED strip where either it is pinched and exposing the material behind it, or it is missing a chunk of material:
Second is the driver side rear door, just doesn't seat flush, second image is the other side which looks fine:

Look like they’re very rush. Get VIN this
I think I will keep the performance then. Looks like they’re very rush. Get VIN in the morning and then ask me to pick up next day. If I don’t pick it up in the next two days, they gonna release the car and put me on hold. I didn’t have time to get any quote from insurance yet.
Following-up on this with some not so great news:Taking delivery tomorrow!
Unfortunately from everything I've seen so far, it does appear that Tesla kept the same hub design for the new M3P.
I will double confirm this once we have the car in-hand!

The hubs indeed still have the stepped lip for 2024 Model 3 Performance.
The back of the wheels have stepped cutout to accommodate for this, like on all previous Model 3/Y factory wheels.
The good news is all the current wheel accessories, such as hub-rings and spacers for Gen.1 is fully-compatible with Gen.2 (Highland). H&R hub-centric spacers test fitted.
While I had the wheels off, I decided to weigh them with tires and all.
2024 Model 3 Performance Front Wheel
20x9 +34 with 235/35/20 Pirelli P Zero Tires - 48.8lbs
Wheels only - 22.7lbs (according to Unplugged Performance)
2024 Model 3 Performance Rear Wheel
20x10 +45 with 275/30/20 Pirelli P Zero Tires - 53.4lbs
Wheels only - 23.4lbs (according to Unplugged Performance)
I also confirmed the rear wheels moved to the front will not clear the suspension arm. I'm ball parking around 17mm spacers for sufficient clearance for those wanting to source two OEM rear wheels to run 20x10 square setup.
I also confirmed the mini wheel covers are a pain in the ass to take off!
WHY TESLA?!Here's the test fit of 14/14mm H&R TRAK+ Spacers that we sell. Front is slightly too aggressive for my taste, but fine for some.
We also sell a "Moderate Flush" kit consisting of 5/14mm spacers, which I think will be more appropriate. These spacers are very straightforward to install.
That's all for now. Will continue to test and note different things along the way. I will eventually get around to making a dedicated build thread for this car. For now feel free @ reply me if you are curious about anything else!
Thanks,
