There were some marks. They look like 2 very small lines. The wiped off, took some effort on a couple but they eventually rubbed off.

Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room
- Thread starter GreenHokie
- Start date
i had a choice between Kavaca 70% for my front windshield but went with Llumar 50% as they are the best and proven history. was more comfortable with 70/80 for front windshield, but installer recommended 50%, so glad i went with 50%.
Is the pic with the “Moderate Flush” spacer kit?Following-up on this with some not so great news:
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,

Well scratch that…VIN assigned at 6:50p!! Woohoo!!
So in randomly checking the app, I find that for some reason, they automatically set my delivery date to tomorrow (6/23) at 5pm. I never set or confirmed this appointment LOL. Has this happened to anyone?
Sent an IM in the app asking to reschedule, so far no reply.
As much as I would like to take the car tomorrow, still have to get the financing ironed out and my CU is closed until Monday.
I mean if I really really wanted to, I *can* take delivery tomorrow, but I don't wanna do that. Gotta be patient, lol.

The first delivery date I scheduled got changed without me knowing. No notification or message or anything. I messaged them and they said they were having issues due to the cyberattack on dealerships so it could be a little delayed.

It’s the way it is now because to turn right you’d flick up on the stalk and left is down so they kept the direction up vs down
Generally speaking, wheels the fit on a pre-2024 M3P should fit on a 2024 M3P, IYO?
Just picked up the car in Colma and see couple performance at the lot. checked everything before final payment. Just request service for some misalignment issues which are at bumper, frunk and ambient light. No other issues was found now.
Just found the road noise is pretty high when drive over 70mph in freeway especially on the rough road. It’s my first EV, not sure if this is normal or just because of the bigger wheels.

Picked up my SG/Black this afternoon. I haven’t had this much fun driving since I first got my license. Fit and finish was surprisingly good. A couple little panel adjustments needed. Small pock mark in the front fender that they’ll fix. Other than that it’s pretty much perfect.
Haha, I understand. I was checking it like a mad man. Part of me wants to believe there is a scoreboard with how many times you have checked your order, and that’s how they decide who get’s their cars.I sure hope that is true! That would be wonderful!
I keep checking the app like an addict, though...
Grats on the VIN!
Thank you! I scheduled delivery for the 26th shortly after posting my last message. Getting excited now!
Got my VIN this evening (6/22) @ 1811 EST. Showing EDD now July 8 - July 16
Ordered 4/24, UR/Blk from South Carolina - Delivery is Charlotte NC.
Previous EDD was July 7 - Aug 11

Generally speaking, yes. Hub and brakes all seem to be carried over just by visually looking at it so far.

Picked up on Friday! What a great car!!!
Just wanna say… was driving in my new M3p. On the 101 passing through Oxnard. Looked over and saw my first ‘24 M3p in the wild, not at a service center, out on the road. Fellow SG, but white interior.
Dude was eyeing my car, maybe I was his first ‘24 M3p in the wild too ya know?
I pointed at him and smiled as I pulled up beside him (we were sitting in traffic). My fiancé yelled at me and said “Don’t do that! You can’t just point at people!!” I said “it’s a new model 3 performance!”
The guy saw me pointing and immediately smiled. I waved, dude waved back. Game recognize game. Finance shut up. We went our separate ways (fellow M3p, not finance). Little moments like that make the wait totally worth it!

So the plan is they’re delivering this car to me in NH some time this week. Just curious, what rights do I have if the car is in bad shape? Can I still deny taking delivery and not accept it? As I already paid in full I understand my money may be locked up for a while which is fine. Or is it the case that no matter what I have to take the car? Thanks!I just locked down the demo one in NJ. 45 miles or so. Being in NH I can essentially only get a car from Paramus NJ because reasons. I’m headed down to NY this weekend anyway, about an hour away. Hopefully the car isn’t a disaster and this isn’t a mistake.

Interesting scenario. I did not pay for M3P before inspecting because I was afraid of issues. My car did have issues and I refused delivery. I would imagine they would allow you to refuse it but they may keep your $$ for however long it takes until you get another vin.
Btw … when I refused my delivery I was told the next refusal would mean I lose my deposit and would have to submit another order
That's pretty aggravating considering I'm an early day 1 order with that pick-up location and still have July/Sept date.
