They wouldn't give me the spec sheet but told me it was within Tesla specs. Nor ideal but that's good enough for me, it drives like a treat even under hard acceleration.

AC, do you plan on getting any film or Opti Coat on the car? I am currently debating that myself.
Yes, this is top of mind for me right now. I want XPEL Ultimate on the full front + mirrors. I have 3M on my MDX and have never regretted the extra protection. That said, I am finding myself a little reluctant to lay out more cash right now. Seems absurd given how much I paid for my TMS. I should want to keep the car protected and in pristine condition. But there you have it, something for me to wrestle with myself on for a little bit longer.

Mine did as well, however my DS told me that my car is in the queue to be painted so clearly there are some bugs still being worked out. At least the VIN listed is correct and has not changedNov1st car went into production.
Today my dashboard seemed to flip back:
Order Confirmed
We have begun sourcing parts for your Model S.
VIN:25852
I agree its not much in the scheme of things, but every little bit helps.Don't worry about the PA numbers. They go down very slowly and they won't use up the allowance by year's end. They will probably bring back $2500 next year.
It is also a 1099 rebate, not all cash. You have to factor that in against your regular income. If in a higher tax bracket, the $3000 is worth about 2000 to you. Take this as an objective little monetary response but if you are worried about 3K you may want to rethink your spending on a $80-110K car which may depreciate $40-50K in 3-5 years.

I thought, for the first time, I will get a buck out of my state, after paying taxes for 25 years..
We have the clear plastic film on our Sienna and I'll admit, I'm not a fan. You just can't get the same shine level with the plastic and it seems like gets little micro scratches in it that aren't easy to get out.
It sounds like you got a cheaper brand of paint protection product.
Xpel is self healing, so you do not get little scratches. And it can be pretty much as shiny as the original paint if treated properly.
I saw a Model S with Xpel at an EV Show recently. I could easily tell what part of the car was wrapped and what part wasn't. Lights reflect differently in it and the shine is not the same if you look at an angle. I know that wouldn't bother some people but it would me. I'd see it every time I walked up to my car. I don't begrudge anyone trying to protect their paint, but for me, wrapping it in plastic just isn't something I'd ever do again. I guess if the chips bother me enough, at some point I'd have the bumper repainted for $1300.00 (I got a quote for my old car's bumper for that amount last year).
bareyb,
I'm still in the debate phase of opticoat pro (w/paint correction) vs. Xpel Ultimate wrap vs. both. I'd like to have the paint corrected either way but the Xpel shop here doesn't do that and I didn't want to do the shuffle of car to the opticoat pro installer for paint correction then to the Xpel shop for wrapping (hoping that nothing happened in between) then back to opticoat pro shop for opticoat pro over the wrap. Its my understanding that the Xpel won't really bond to the opticoat pro if you do that first.
That's my understanding too. If you have never had Xpel I'd recommend seeing another Tesla with it installed. These are extremely shiny cars and if you're even a little OCD like I am you may not like the look. Granted, you really have to look at it to see it, but I can tell and I think the original paint looks better. I'm doing Paint Correction and Sealant, but I'm not going for Xpel.
Mine too!!!:tongue:Finally! - "Production Completed - Your Model S is being prepared for pickup or delivery"
I was getting a bit concerned what with the status flip-flopping between "sourcing parts" and "in-production".
