A lot of people can though. And to be honest if you need a tax break to afford a car then maybe it’s not the right option. Not saying that’s your case or anything like that.

There are many restrictions on the ev tax credit. Maybe a 2023 Chevy Bolt will qualify for the govmint tax credit. And the dealer will be sure to price it accordingly. Speaking of which, I’m enjoying the purchase process sans dealer. I’m impressed that Tesla made an online order process that complies with all the state dealer laws.

Are you in the DFW area? I’m hoping to get a similar text soon. I sold my car at carmax. They gave me more than Tesla’s offer + tradein tax benefit.
Definitely one of the faster transactions on this board, fully built and VIN assigned in 36 days with only 49 total days from order to delivery. I ordered before you and don't even have as much as a 2-week window yet.

it is seriously moving quick and i have one of the news VINs, 330XXX
So my m3p has been in the detail shop all week. I ordered a black and red dual motor badge and black t badges for them to put on after the fact. The car is MSM and wrapped in full xpel stealth PPF which makes it a sarin finish. Apparently I messed up the T badges and they are stickers that go over the top of the badges but the guys already removed my factory badges. The dual motor checks out and can be put on the car though. Do you guys think I should bother getting some replacement badges or leave it without the T badges?
Picked up yesterday. Had a little scratch under the rear passenger vent (plastic piece easily replaced. After taking delivery they said they’d make it a mobile fix. Come to my house and replace the part on my driveway. Exterior Car cleanliness was subpar, will definitely claybar and polish this weekend. 0-60 pulls so damn my kids raise there hands in the back seat like a roller coaster so we all love it. Rides very luxurious like. No panel gap issues.
Loving the car. Feels like a dream, I have to ask my wife to pinch me to make sure I’m not dreaming that we now have a sexy metallic spaceship in the driveway. Lol good luck to you gents.

Tesla really needs to tint their windows
Amazing! Same spec coming for me! Looks great enjoy!!
The only things I have to adjust too is the smaller mirrors, I forgot how narrow they were. Also the stupid huge smile that everyone around me must see when I mash the peddle down. This has to be the epitome of a full grown man child’s toy! My oldest son keeps asking for faster…
I would order new ones since the all-black badges look nice better than the stickers

Yeah I was kind of concerned about the mirrors. Between the cameras and an actual head-turn, I think I'll manage just fine, but it will be strange to get used to the small field of view in the mirrors. I've gotten used to setting my mirrors with the SAE method, and that just isn't possible with the Tesla mirrors. I'm thinking about getting some Sumas, but I want to check out the auto-dimming feature first (never had that before).

Nice! I'm also planning to wrap my MSM in XPEL Stealth PPF. It's hard to pick between that and the 3M satin psychedelic vinyl wrap, but the extra protection, self-healing properties, and 10-year warranty are pretty good selling points for the PPF.
Are your factory badges still available to be reattached? Or is your ranking (black badges) --> (no badges) --> (factory badges)?
