Congrats! Thanks for sharing. Let me know your thoughts on the audio, I'm curious hahaJust got mine. I have to first start off by saying Tesla of Libertyville, IL was just above and beyond amazing. Completely luxurious experience dealing with a guy named David there. Wow.
Anyway some small notes;
Turn signals are the easiest thing to press and get used to. I’m astounded that people are having difficulty with them, especially with “finding the spot to press” as it’s literally the entire section that you can press.
Swipe up and down for gear selection is also crazy well done. You just have to gesture anywhere in the area and it works perfectly. It’s not like you have to grab the car icon and strategically glide it up. It’s extremely well programmed and intuitive.
Acceleration wise; I haven’t gotten much time to go above 60~ but I’m surprised how it feels. It almost feels less fast than the older M3 because it’s so much less rowdy. I’ll have to get used to how smooth it is. The front end doesn’t lift up at all to give you that rambunctious over powered feeling that I’ll admit I did like. The car feels like it was designed properly for the power it has. It’s dramatically more composed in every way. Feels like a completely different car.
Oh, and the coolest seats — I don’t get why people can say they barely feel them. The max setting is awesome but you definitely hear it. I set it down to level 1 for minimal audibility.
Stereo wise — I don’t listen to music in the car as I never drive long distances. But as someone who is as much of an “audiophile” as can be (literally own a high end stereo / home theater store); I will say that based on some initial listening, the sub setting should be pretty much all the way down. It’s super boomy and seems to be set up to add bass rather than extend the response down low. Will post more on this later if anyone cares.

While I’m trying to distract myself from checking for a VIN every five minutes, thought I’d look at how this car stacks up against a bunch of other sub 3 second cars. Probably made some mistakes and also missing stuff, but this should be fun. Fuzzy math showing cost per second divided base by 0-60 times for funsies.

As an audiophile, I’m curious why you’d lower the subwoofer if there’s too much bass rather than lowering the bass settings on the midrange speakers. Wouldn’t letting the sub handle the low-end be more effective?Just got mine. I have to first start off by saying Tesla of Libertyville, IL was just above and beyond amazing. Completely luxurious experience dealing with a guy named David there. Wow.

I went to compare your data with that info and didn't see you on the tracker. Did it get erased?There’s someone on the sheet who ordered 5/21 in LA and got a VIN on 5/24… How’s that even possible we have the same config and I ordered more than a month ago
I entered as “nzt” before I made my account on here. Feel free to adjust to match my username if you’d like
That 1.66 Demon is so misleading, no one will come close to that if were being honest.

For whatever it’s worth I sold my 2020 MSM/Black M3P, great shape, 38k miles in AZ. Tesla offer $24,500, Carvana $26,000, sold private party $27,500. Lost my ass Vs what I paid, but wasn’t upside down as had $18k left on the loan. I saw someone on the east coast had lower trade offers. I had a lot of response (auto traders) but many scammers and it took two days to find a local buyer, schedule a test ride, met the next day at his bank where they handled the payoff and cashier check to me. Process of transferring was surprisingly easy

I saw a guy trying to beat a Plaid with the Demon. He had all of his seats out including his passenger seat to reduce weight and still couldn't do it. That was in PERFECT track conditions. That Demon won't beat the new M3P on the street....
Part of the frustration for me around the turn indicators is that the buttons do not register presses consistently and the haptics are weak, so I can't develop any confidence that what I am asking the car to do is being done. Comparing the switchgear to the floor models, I think Tesla has a consistency issue with how it is being produced. I want a reliable, solid 'click' every time I press the dang button and I am not getting it on either side of the steering wheel.Just got mine.

We have a Demon 170 at our track that keeps trying to beat Andrew of the Tesla Plaid Channel. Not even close. As usual the Demons are not pulling anywhere near the quoted 8.x times.

Yeah I’m thinking its the cash payment. Originally went with finance as funds wouldn’t clear till mid june, but regretting that now lol. All actions have been completed for a while now.
You need a perfect launch on a prepped strip. The Plaid will just about do it in the rain while your kid is sucking on an ice-cream cone.

Man. How can they claim such a low time, when it’s that far off from possible.
