I still can't get over how the blue looks with the Uber's and red calipers, so clean! CongratsI was referring to Waltamobile’s beautiful red car, but yesterday I had a beautiful blue one delivered, so at your request, here’s a bonus.

I had never done it before either, and decided to do it myself using GTechniq Crystal Serum Light. I did it the day after delivery, and it was surprisingly easy. Topped it with their Exo topper. Glad I did it myself versus paying way more for someone else to do it. Definitely a good option if you’re not ultra obsessed and want to fully paint correct.

2 weeks!!!! You've got to be kidding. You just did a ridiculously long wait to get it in the first place.

Thanks! The Uber’s are growing on me, but they won’t be around long (well, they’ll be stacked & covered & available as spares).I still can't get over how the blue looks with the Uber's and red calipers, so clean! Congrats
These are going on, along with some PPF, ceramic coating, tint, and some low…
That blue is amazing!I was referring to Waltamobile’s beautiful red car, but yesterday I had a beautiful blue one delivered, so at your request, here’s a bonus.

Congrats on your delivery.

I’m getting the PPF/Ceramic coating/tint all done together at Concours Auto Spa in Marina Del Rey (they have a shop in Torrance too). Their normal price for all side windows, windshield, and one-piece rear is $750, but you get a $300 discount for the package deal if you combine it with other work like I am.
Checking in to assure everyone here waiting on delivery that we did indeed choose the best car. This thing is absolutely glued to the road! Took it out last night to test it's limits. spoiler alert: I didn't find any! Accelerating out of corners is insane. however much you give it, the car just sticks itself to the road and slaps you with the G forces!

Thanks! I already have a pile of stuff to install/have installed.That blue is amazing!
Congrats on your delivery.
Now comes a wave of buying even more accessories.
Tires, TPMs, Ti lugs, interior lighting, brake rotors, new wireless charge pad, 14-30 adapter & extension for charging at my dad’s place all in my garage already (with level 2 charging already installed)…wheels, lower control arm bushings, and front compression rod inserts en route…coilovers, sway bars, rear camber arms, and a new front fascia (assuming I’ll have clearance) are sitting at UP waiting for install. Plus the paint protection & tint, dropping off tomorrow AM. At this point, I‘m not sure what else to buy lol. I‘ve already ordered a second set of Ti lug nuts (burnt blue ends), so I got on the second go-around before I even got the car. I mentioned before that I suck at waiting…retail therapy helps a little.
Wow that is fine!I was referring to Waltamobile’s beautiful red car, but yesterday I had a beautiful blue one delivered, so at your request, here’s a bonus.

Beautiful, what are specs? Offsets? Tires?
I'm tempted if I go aftermarket, to pull my tires to make the wheels easier to store (probably in the attic, we have a completed, AC'ed area), reuse my OEM sensors, and then sell the Pirellis (and just deal with getting tires in 3 years).

They’re 20x9.5 with staggered offsets, 35/28 F/R. I wanted to be flush front & back with a square tire setup without using spacers (one of the benefits of custom-ordered wheels). I bought a set of rotors with thicker hats than stock (M3P with red calipers has thinner rotor hats than SR/SR+/LR with gray calipers), might be a bit extra aggro but will help 255/35/20 clear the FUCAs on ET35. If it pokes even after a drop, I’ll try with stock rotors; if it rubs the FUCA with stock rotors, I’ll go 265/30 or try 275/30. I really want to make 255/35 work though, the taller tire gives more sidewall (better ride and wheel protection) and a tiny bit more ride height (better ride with less lowering/more suspension travel and less dragging). Plus 255 will be a big enough range hit from the stock 235’s.
I have a set of 255/35/20 PS4S waiting to go on and a set of TPMS - one of the downsides to custom wheels is you have to wait to have a replacement (or replacements) made if you damage them, so I like to keep a full set of tires/wheels ready in case something happens, at least for a couple years. I can unmount & sell the tires later before they start getting old, then (like you) it’s just a set of tires to buy if I need to run the stock wheels for a while.
This looks normal considering your relatively high state of charge.
If your battery was only at say 20%, the kW rate would be much higher.
