I just made my PPF and tint reservation for this coming Wednesday. As much as itll pain me to pick the car up Monday and hand it over a day later I want to get it all done while things are still shiny and new. They said it'll take their guys just a day to do!
Doing full ceramic tint on 100% of the glass. 35 on the front windows and roof. 20 everywhere else. Clear on the windshield.
Full front PPF in Xpel.

Some gripes I have so far with Tesla:
- No ability to play videos from USB on the screen (except for dashcam videos) - only audio files. Just dumb. I'd like to be able to watch my own movies on USB rather than always streaming via the built-in apps.
- Speaking of built-in apps, it's disappointing you cannot install/uninstall certain apps, and that there aren't more options. They have Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and YouTube, but no HBO Max. As for audio streaming, they only have Spotify and Tidal. I'd really like to have Plex or VLC Video Player, but who knows if they'll ever offer any of those. I'd also really like to have Waze, that's been my preferred navi app. The Tesla navigation app is annoying because it offers little customization of how the map appears to you.
- No CarPlay is such a bummer. I don't know why they don't offer CarPlay or AndroidAuto except for maybe some competitive thing between Tesla and Apple and Google.
- Live video feed in the app when Sentry Mode is on just doesn't work. It didn't work with the last Tesla I briefly had, and it doesn't work with this brand new one either. It just errors out.
- I wish there was a front camera on the front bumper so you could see how close you are when parking. Yeah, it tells you the distance you are because of the sensors but it would be much better if I could see it on a camera too.
- I wish there was an unlock/lock button.
- The white interior is beautiful but any sort of lint or whatever stands out big time and you'll find yourself constantly cleaning it. It's expected with having a white interior, but nevertheless.
That's not to say I don't love my car, I absolutely do. Tesla's software and features are far and away better than anything else I've seen from other manufacturers, but it still leaves you wanting more (in my opinion).

I got delivery scheduled for Sunday @ 4:30P. I can’t make final payment yet on the app because it’s greyed out so hopefully that all becomes available before then.
Open this in your car for way more streaming choices: ABetterTheater.com - Full Screen Apps
Tesla Theater's fan-made full-screen boost gives immersive, on-the-go movie experiences
A Tesla enthusiast has created a new website called TeslaTheater.com that gives Model 3, S, and X owners the capability to view numerous streaming media applications using the entirety of the vehicle’s 15″ display. Coupled with Tesla’s stellar sound system, this new Tesla Theater boost creates...

holy moly... fastest turn around time record?
What shop did you book with? You're getting the same work I'm getting
Hmm, my Gray/white was quick too. Maybe we're seeing a trend? That might be the go-to combo for quick delivery.
Smartfilm. Power/McKellips in Mesa. Dropping off at 10am with a pickup at 5pm. Im assuming they will have more than one guy working on the car.
$1500 for the full front PPF which includes the door edges as well. Theyre removing the front badge (chrome, yuck). Xpel Film.
$540 for the highest grade ceramic tint plus some additional for the windshield and pano roof. Xpel XR-P film.
-$50 for doing both at the same time.
Also installing the screen protector I bought for me.
Total is $2510. Several of the guys own Model 3's and are familiar with the cars.
I've seen videos (I thought) of Hulu and Tidal being shown on the screen. I do all my music streaming through Tidal. I guess I could just use BT to stream it. You sure about this?
