I actually don't think I want the matrix headlights based off the light cutoff and overall light field I have seen on comparison on the matrix vs the old LED. I much prefer the light cutoff/field of the older style lights, especially where I live where there are few streetlights. The matrix lights seem more precise but you definitely have less overall light field.
Regarding the suspension, I went into the order knowing they took mention of the lowered suspension off the website.
Here's my thoughts on it:
There were probably a lot of non-enthusiasts buying the performance trim either because they just wanted the fastest or for a shorter delivery time or whatever.
They got into it and then complained the ride was too harsh for a $60k vehicle.
Meanwhile, most enthusiasts are either lowering the car further with either springs or coilovers making the stock suspension pretty much a waste.
Tesla had a decision to make. They could make the suspension softer and reuse more parts thus lowering costs. It was a win-win.
The non-enthusiast doesn't complain as much and the enthusiast just changes out the suspension anyway.
Since this is a daily driver for me and not a track car, I'm going to drive it for a while stock and see how I feel about it. If I'm happy, it stays. If I want it lower and firmer, I'll buy some coilovers and be done with it.

So i picked up my M3P over the weekend. MSM | White | No FSD | Pittsburgh. Initially ordered on 2/14.
I can confirm that my car DOES have the Matrix headlights. It also came with the mobile connector. Everything else appears to be in line with what my overall expectations were.
I will add, the car is violently fast. Its fast enough that I don't feel comfortable fully accelerating without 2 hands on the wheel. I will also add for those discussing the ride quality. I had a LR M3 prior to this and I honestly don't feel a huge difference in ride quality between the two.
I dont know what the "born" date of the vehicle was, but the VIN is 230XXX.

New movement on my EDD but in the wrong direction.
M3P Blue/Black no FSD
OD: 3/19
EDD: 5/30 - 7/11
EDD: 6/8 - 7/13
New EDD : 7/20 - 8/31
M3P Blue/Black no FSD
OD: 3/19
EDD: 5/30 - 7/11
EDD: 6/8 - 7/13
New EDD : 7/20 - 8/31
Question of the day. On average how many times per day to you check the app or website to see if you've had a change in your EDD? I'm at like 5-6 which probably isn't healthy.
Easily 10-12 times a day, especially as I was approaching my date window. It didnt help that i would be reading these pages and seeing others with updates and made me want to check mine again and again.
I'm at a legit 30. I have issues.
I used to check it at least 2-3 times per day, but by 8 weeks in, I pretty much just check it every couple days. Now that my delivery date got cancelled I am checking it more again hoping they will schedule a new delivery date soon.
I'll have to second that "violently fast" comment. At a highway metering light into a straight on-ramp, I can make myself dizzy. My vision starts to blur. It takes me a couple minutes to catch my breath. The 0-60 has to be way better than 3 second.
Also, yes to matrix headlights on 242XXX
I'm still checking it 10 times a day, and I have the car! Old habits die hard.
In the end, there was never anything useful in the app regarding delivery. The dates pushed out and in, adjust and shifted, but delivery was a text message.
Hello everyone, new to the forum. I ordered my M3P back on April 11th. Grey with no FSD. My new date now is June 8th - July 13th. It was previously as of last week July 13th-August 8th. So it seems to have moved up a month.

No Vin. Guess a 10 day window is better than a 13 day window pushed back smh
Complete Clown Show and at this point im wearing a red nose.
Once again, for anyone new to Tesla, take it from me.....im glad I found this forum. I was ready to sell my current car thinking I was going to be in a new one within the timeline they reel you in with on the website. All of the dates they give you are complete BS. Dates closer, dates further....they all dont mean *sugar* until you have a VIN and a pick up date....and even then, theres people with VINs for weeks lol.

It's kinda crazy. How did I get a VIN 3 weeks before delivery when some of you have close in delivery dates but no VIN yet.
