After my Pen Fed check never showed up (and it still hasn’t despite being approved over two weeks ago) Tesla took away my VIN and put me back in the queue. Last night I was showing a date range of 6/28 - 7/2 and this morning it’s 8/26 - 10/7.

Yikes! I just got approved on a draft from PenFed but my EDD window currently opens on 7/23. Hoping I have time to get it before the car arrives! PenFed was very upfront with me saying they don’t do expedited mail any more and to allow 7-10 business days for the check to arrive. Sounds like you’ve allowed that and then some! Have you reached out to their customer service? Did you also consider just going with Tesla financing and refi with PenFed? Their refi rates are the same as their normal rates.
I did, but they kept saying it was sent out from Oregon and therefore should make it to CA pretty quickly. So I didn’t want another hard pull if the check was going to show up anyway. Didn’t end up working out.
Due to my experience I had my wife finance her Y through Alliant CU. Went from approval to funds being wired to Tesla within two days. And the rate was 10 bps lower than what PenFed was offering when I applied.

Joining the waiting room after my M3LR got hit and totaled a couple weeks ago. 202k miles. Sigh.
Making lemonade by ordering a Performance, which wasn't available when I finalized my order early 2018.

Wham Baam? Anyway, that sucks. Performance has some good stuff over the LR, like speed and sleek design with the spoiler.
@julit0 Hey i was just wondering how blue looks to you after the full ppf wrap. I am also thinking about the gloss ppf for my blue and was curious if you could tell the difference after? Is it shinier? Thanks

I’ll post this for the group…just another for #teamblue. I think the paint looks more “wet” and a higher gloss, but not a shiny glare kind of issue either.
I didn’t think you could put PPF over a ceramic coat? The whole point of the ceramic coat is to keep anything from sticking to the car (including PPF).
I don’t see why you can’t; it’ll still stick. It’s a film
Can always buffer down to apply if needed for said area(s)
PPF has 3 layers (once you remove the release liner), so yes there is a layer of film, but the bottom layer is an acrylic adhesive. Installing it over ceramic will not allow it to adhere properly, edges will lift etc. Assuming you used a consumer grade ceramic coating, you may be able to polish it off, but that’s a lot of work.
I’ll let them clay and polish it off. I used Underdog

Cool. My Wrap shop included a Deionozed water wash, clay bar and paint correction prior to - so I only hand washed it just to see where I though any issues might be. I hope whoever is wrapping your car will be able to strip off your ceramic coat wherever they need. I would think Adhesion problems too. I intentionally didn’t wax or apply sealant because it went in for wrap 2 days later.
Im sure it’ll work out.
As far as height, wouldn’t you want to go at least to the bottom of the black trim of the doors/windows? Same for the rear quarter to the trim and where the trunk seam is. I went and got the whole car wrapped.
I’m going to have them polish down the areas for PPF and then apply the PPF and I’ll ceramic over it. They should be able to do it. I just texted them

Sounds good! Your work was really solid…Your picture was a beaut. Enjoy. The hardest part was giving up the car after waiting so long. Was the second longest week of my life.
