I do like the lighter shade of the previous midnight silver metallic more than SG. However, I think the paint/finish quality is better on SG than it was with MSM. It's still the color I'm most willing to live with day to day. I don't think I'd go with a different color in the future unless they offer Midnight Cherry Red in the USA.

Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room
- Thread starter GreenHokie
- Start date
Actually if you look at the sheet, a lot of people in NY have gotten their VINs. What's weird is that cdubois in Rochester got their VIN but 1point99 in Victor, which is a stone's throw away from Rochester didn't. They ordered the same day.Yep. Maybe NY has an embargo against Elon ?

Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night.I feel bad for these poor chumps getting their VINs and deliveries so quickly. They don't get to experience the level of anticipation, excitement, and appreciation that comes from waiting longer than their peers. We're the lucky ones!
None for them are designed for the performance yet. Don't buy the ones for the Highland. I talked to the guy who makes the QuickBandit. He said that he's waiting to be able to do a scan of the performance to make a proper one for the performance.
That’s insane. I got quoted with State Farm. 0$ deductible and $189 a month might look into them
It’s hard. Black is def really nice, but I’ve heard mixed reviews on the paint job. I just life the tri coat on the UR. It’s so pretty and looks great in the sun
Exciting update at 10 EST in app to find a delivery date scheduled for Friday morning. Yesterday I called service dept and waited for prompt to speak to local center, asked if my SA was working (at lunch). Called back and he picked up their line, pinged the car and was still in NJ railyard. It must have moved out last night to get delivery date today. My SA is psyched as well first M3P at his DC south of Boston. Feels surreal and only 5.5 weeks from ordering (first 40 min).
After my EDD gets pushed out the 10th time.
Every black interior photo I see just makes me more and more glad I chose black. I love the look, and the Alcantara door inserts are *chefs kiss*
Little known fact: it's actually what pushed Arthur Peck into madness and eventually into the Joker.
I can read but I'm missing your point. An alignment measures the actual setup and isn't based on theories related to road surface. There is no guessing. So, if the car is fine, the readings will show it. You would only adjust if things are out of specification. Plus, I don't agree with you that people are as numb to life as you imply. Cars are what they are today because the MAJORITY gets it. It's odd that you are so charged about minimizing alignments. I'm actually lost that you think pulling to the right may mean it's "good". If you don't do alignment on a Tesla MP3, it won't get more than 15,000 miles PERIOD. Those are facts. Your experience and vast depth of knowledge can't override facts.
Regarding exterior colors, I'm the opposite of the person who wraps their car in neon green. I want a car that disappears into the crowd so I'm not noticed while i'm engaged in constant Insane mode antics. Stealth Grey is the closest solution for that.

Car secured! It is such an upgrade over my old 2019 Performance 3, all I can say is wow. More to come later!
I thought so. Thanks for confirming. I will be scanning for the new version whenever QuickBandit rolls it out.
We all know whoosierdaddy now. congrats!
I've never felt this way about a car before, but I got stealth Grey and I don't love it, I do think it is the best a dark grey can look but this car was meant for red. I don't even think blue, black or white come close to how good red looks either. I went with space grey because I thought I would like it more than the flashy red, but man, I just don't get excited when I look at my car, something i've never experience before. I should have got red, price didnt even matter as I was leasing and pricing was similar.
Grey is exactly that, stealthy, which is fine, I get why people like it, but this color is not for me. It hides 90% of what makes a performance a performance, the front grille changes just disappear into the dark color and same with the carbon fiber spolier. You can't see those details at all meanwhile on red, they POP. Just my opinion though.

I still find trouble understanding the logic of continuing to push "shades of gray" while simultaneously getting rid of the silver which is quite popular.
Took delivery today in St. Louis. Whole process only took 10 minutes, and the car is absolutely perfect. They mentioned this was the first delivery of a performance here. I was worried about the interior LED alignment but it’s perfect. Good luck to everyone still waiting. It truly is worth the wait.
