That blue sure does look sharp! Enjoy!

Jebinc, I'm so happy you were the first 19" delivery on TMC. You are representing better than I ever could have. I love what you're doing and sharing!

@afarkas2222 Thank you! I’m hopeful some forum members find the information helpful/useful! I love my 19s!

So were you two in cahoots?

Yes.

You guys keep this sh!t up imma add these to my LR and a Plaid badge. #imboutit

@sflgator You don't have to explain yourself, my friend. Not everyone is going to have the same taste. Hell, it would be boring if we did! I happen to like the SV104s, but I wouldn't take it personally if others don't. You bought your car and I'm sure you'll be elated with the new wheels. That's really the only important thing.

I’ve ordered some retro wire wheel caps for my MS, but I’m sure as hell not going to post a photo on here!

OMG, We have the same taste! Mine aren’t real, they’re just covers.

 

[BobbyRitz]

As long as they're 10k gold-plated, then I'm sure Tigers and Dante will love them, especially after they age and turn a nice shade of oxidized green. hahahahahahahahahaha!

Only the best!

I had to wait six months for a new electric range. Along the way there were many delays and changes to estimated delivery dates. Finally came.
That's just the way things are these days. Supply chains are FUBAR
(Not nearly as great as a new Tesla.)

Waited almost 6 months for a digital putter bending gauge. $2k. 4 months for new pavers for the driveway. Couple of my customers are into a 6 month wait for their custom clubs I’m building, no components. Solar panels are another 5 month wait.

The only difference between all these thing and the LR are delivery estimates. Tesla is the only company I’m deaing with that actually gives them. All the others say nothing or they’ll get there when they get them.

It’s a new world.

it made me wonder how the heck have I been keeping my cars' paint glossy with tight water beading all these decades just by handwashing and using a spray on wax once every two months at 10 mins to apply/remove. LOL.

You sound very compulsive. I don't do anything except spray water wash every few months.

I just wait till it rains, overachiever.

Had a feeling based on your order timeline that was the case, now I'm just confused as to why I have no EDD at all lol. I'm awaiting my trade-in offer to be updated so my profile isn't technically "fully completed" but it's just a matter of waiting on that. Hopefully we both get our cars soon

At this point, I would rather have a 2022 model. I believe an Oct manufacture date is when the year changeover is now.

I know I'll get my answer as soon as I see my car (Real Soon Now), but I'm really curious: is the refresh blue any different from the blue of all other Teslas from the past few years? Whenever I see a blue Tesla on the street it's a dark, somewhat boring (to me) shade. But some of these photos make it look a lot lighter than that; this one, for example, makes it look a lot closer to the World Rally Blue of my WRX that went off-lease in January. But is that just an artifact of the photos?

Ah! You live where it rains?

Just got an email from Tesla, have other people been getting this as well?

Yeah I got one. You need to use Microsoft teams. I didn't want to use my work account, and when I tried to make a personal one, Microsoft demanded a verifiable cell number, and confirmation that they are allowed to push advertising to that number. I passed.

So glad they changed the 19s to black. Look solid now.

Nope. No email, no orientation. Full contact delivery here - like there wasn’t a pandemic going on…
