Thank you very much. The wheels look nice with the larger aero's removed!
Removing Aero Covers from the new 2024 M3PL
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to remove the large aero covers from the new M3P? I prefer the look without them and I'm willing to sacrifice the efficiency. Edit: And I really don't want to have to dismount! Reference:teslamotorsclub.com

Removing Aero Covers from the new 2024 M3PL

It takes a lot more than "1 minute"... unless your Hercules.
They always do stuff at the end of quarters to beef up their metrics.
I was not aware until recently that they are two separate metrics for orders and deliveries.
I mean I tried saying over the past few days we were getting a very out of the ordinary low amount of VINS and pretty much was told I was complaining (okay I was complaining some). But something is up lol. Over Tuesday-Thursday last week there was somewhere around ~50 VINS given out. Around 22 VINS alone just last Thursday. According to the tracker, over the past 3 days we have had 3 VINs. Zero today compared to last Thursday's 22.
I am just saying it's odd, especially with Q2 coming to an end while they continue to offer new low interest deals on all the models other than M3P which is going to lead to more orders and further delay in M3P deliveries lol.
I mean it could be as simple as they had a few trains leave this morning and cleared out the lot. EDDs are tightening and people are getting cars. Saul Goodman!
As a day one blue order I have gotten no love in Edd or VIN. Don't add more pressure to the few waiting for blue. Only kidding.... A little. ;-)
joking aside. I believe the SG will get the priority as it is easier to produce everything one color. less paint shop changes cheaper to punch out more. old Q2 margin number bump. I am sure that's why they upped the price but gave white option to appease the masses. Presumably white material doesn't cost more. Then only has variability in final assembly in what parts you bolt on. Not touchy paint, sprayers, booths, ovens..
I hope your optimistic theory is correct
Maybe now they have all that open space to start cranking out cars/VINs over the next couple days. Maybe the glass is half full after all...or maybe not
My educated professional expert I'm always right factual not a guess statement is,
1. It was highly anticipated that the Model 3 refresh Highland would switch to a structural battery pack and use mega castings, similar to how the Model Y was built, which never happened. They could be making that switch now.
2. Model Y Juniper is coming sooner than everyone thought and this is the start of it. In the video, the guys friend, did say "they are working on something different" but can't say what.

Yeah, 'Expected' isn't concrete, even as much as we wish it was. In 2024 we might think that a company building something like this would have a bit more accuracy about such things, but... some businesses try to remain flexible/fluid, and unfortunately that means in 'expected' delivery/build dates and such.
I admit, I think it's been fascinating watching all of this since April. Wildly-bouncing EDD's, surprise VINs, and so on. It has been entertaining.
I picked up today at the Chicago South Loop SC. Great experience, they're very well organized. I did Everyday Chris's full checklist (well done!) and found one small, light scratch on the back L pillar that they buffed out quickly. Everything else, panel gaps, etc were spot on. Drove home at about 5 mph because of rush hour traffic, so I really got to experience that power . Haha I'll take it out in the evening to get some rpms in. You guys will love it, def worth the wait

Delivery tomorrow!!!! Ripping out the home link module of my Y as I type lol
I agree it's definitely been an experience how this has all turned out. Just wish I was on the other end of the experience (getting a VIN sooner) hah.Yeah, 'Expected' isn't concrete, even as much as we wish it was.

I am trying to stay hopeful that I can take delivery before the end of June, but I a not going to lie, how slow it has been over the past 3-5 days is kinda worrying me lol, Hard to believe that I may take delivery within my EDD (6/20-6/30) when its already 6/6 and there are no VINS in sight and I am in the Midwest, so longer delivery times. But hey, maybe they will surprise me.
I wanted to do the same, but since I had an older 2018 M3, I'd have to remove the bumper. I showed the SC that Homelink showed as unavailable for the 2024 M3P, and they didn't know why. They recommend I request it through Service on the app to see if the service tech can add it
Austinite here, I also ordered the SG/White (saw you on the tracker), but a 5/1/24 order date so I definitely won't be the lucky one getting your VIN. It's a total bummer though that they wouldn't hold it...did they tell you how long they are willing to hold the car in cases like this?
Took my 21 year old son for the first test drive at home. Did a launch from a standstill for the first time. I should have filmed his reaction. His comment about 30 seconds after was "my body is still tingling".
Tomorrow I adjust my frunk gaps and go after the rattle. That dash rattle is really annoying. So far though, those are the only minor issues. Paint and all other gaps look perfect!
