Just saying that is what I would do. And its not as much of an impact to remove some plastic covers than it would be to purchase new wheels.

Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

I know, guess I can try it and see how I like the look in person, personally ya i dont care about range but think it just looks better with them on. Just seems like a huge oversight from tesla and I am sure they will prob change the material or how they fit on the revision of this car in a month or 2 after all the issues being reported
I, too, personally like how the wheels look with the covers on as well.
Doesn’t seem like there is nearly as many vins going out today as yesterday. Boo.
I think his front skid plate was broken and Tesla was trying to say it broke because you bottomed out the car and hit something that broke your front skid plate and also damaged your wheel, e.g, deep/wide pothole etc.
He also mentioned his top glass needing to be replaced because it was never seated correctly. So just some random stuff to be aware of when picking up our cars.
I'm not here to judge him or Tesla as I wasn't there to know all the facts nor do I care. I just don't want to potentially be in a position where I miss something and have to spend my time/life running around fixing other people's F ups, hence why delivery day checklists were created and why it's a good idea to watch these video's and see if you can learn something from it.
Hi guys. New here. Ordered an M3P (Stealth Grey/White interior) on 6/9 after test driving a RWD on 6/8. First Tesla!
EDD Jul-Aug. Kinda hoping it's August as I'll be at the beach for the second half of July and would hate to be away come delivery time

My guy, there are people on this forum who ordered DAY 1 and haven't received their VINs yet. You'd be lucky to get the car by September, lol.Hi guys. New here. Ordered an M3P (Stealth Grey/White interior) on 6/9 after test driving a RWD on 6/8. First Tesla!

Oh i agree on that. If i hear any creaking the covers will immediately come off. Not having that crap. I do have to admit i kinda like how they look with the covers removed.

I will say the covers removed remind me of my 2020 M3P which I loved, I personally hated the new turbine design wheels so glad I never had to deal with those.
Hope so for your sake. I ordered on 5/22 and it said June, then went to July 18-Aug 22, then Aug 16-Sep 27. I got the same config as you.Hi guys. New here. Ordered an M3P (Stealth Grey/White interior) on 6/9 after test driving a RWD on 6/8. First Tesla!

Quick update, shout out to George at the Warminster Pa S/C. He got my trade in back to the number quoted me in late May AND found a SG/White interior sitting the Pittsburgh showroom. He called their manager and I just got the VIN assigned to me!! Less than thrilled to drive to Pittsburgh (4 plus hours) but I'm happy otherwise.

I got lucky with my 2020 M3P as they switched to the grey wheels vs the silver while I was waiting for delivery. Much preferred the grey!!
Coming from a 2020 LR Model 3, it's truly incredible how much this car has evolved over the past 4 years. I think most people (aka non-owners) think oh the Model 3 is still the same car design (at least up through 2023) as originally introduced.
They tweaked everything, refinement, quality, efficiency, all for the better. It's still the same car but as I'm getting used to the new one now (took delivery wednesday) Every time I get in i'm like oh wow, that's different, that's better, etc.
Of course I still find myself reaching for the drive stalks

Was: Jun 13-Jun 30
Now: Jun 14-Jun 28
When most of the time they just bump the start date by 1 day so that it's no longer in the past, that really doesn't inspire confidence the range means anything at all. It's more like an automated script that removes days from the range that are clearly no longer relevant.
Eventually it'll be "Jun 28-Jun 28" and they'll bump it to "Jun 29-Jun 29" on the 29th.
It seemed pretty clear to me what was being said (unless I got it wrong, if so, hopefully @sgtauto will correct me).
To paraphrase what was said, its:
==============================
"Wow, look at all the people in this thread spending additional money on this car to put add ons like Tint and Wraps and stuff on it. From a Financial perspective, a car like this is an expensive toy that no one really needs, we just all want it.
Putting all this additional stuff on there is like an additional punch in the gut, as far as finances go. I am blowing my money like a little kid does on a game system, but at least this game has both a digital and in real life system."
==============================
Unless he lives in Ca then he might get it next week lol.
4/23 order Midwest here crying in corner with no VIN
