Well everyone, I had her for 30 mins before I had to leave it at Metro's detail to have the wrap put on. It was hard not to just head home. As we, my wife and I, were in route to the detail shop, she suddenly turned to me and with a genuine look on her face, she said "Hey did they get you a full tank of gas." I just stared at her because I thought she was kidding. Then I smiled and she said, "oh my god" and started laughing. Then I said, "I don't need that stuff anymore." I get my MS back on Friday, I having a full wrap done. Pix to follow.
Hilarious! I hadn't really intended to get any kind of wrap (I blindly ordered the paint armor) but the more I read, the more it seems that the reigning wisdom is to put some kind of wrap on.
gpetti, you still have time to cancel the paint armor, for the price of the PA, you can get the wrap work done.

I ordered on 12 Oct, so it took 2 months 1 week of waiting and waiting and.......:smile:

I agree, the paint is beautiful. I got the full clear XPEL wrap, I don't want to cover that bright clear white face. I got it for the protection.

Ah Gotcha. I just waxed mine (Chemical Guys - Butter Wet) and I've been admiring it for the last couple of days. I've had some shiny cars but this one takes the cake.

@bazer, since you are a Q1 delivery, do you mind posting your details to this other thread, so we can add you to the Q1 Order & Delivery Tracker?
Model S Order Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014
BTW, my Model S should arrive in late Jan, supposedly by 25-Jan.
Still waiting for those pics
I got my VIN today - first change of status since my order so was pretty exciting. I'm still doing some research in what wraps are available here and how much etc.
Congrats on getting your VIN. Ah, memories.I remember the day mine showed up in the phone app. I nearly fell off my chair! No one else really understands how exciting that is!Still waiting for those pics

What do you mean showed up in the phone app? Our phone app wasn't working until about 3 hours after we left the service center with our car. We had to flip the switch on the car and all the paperwork had to be processed to make it work.
Thanks!
You mean no one who hasn't ordered a tesla right?
This is a unique experience for me. I've been excited about buying cars before but between the uniqueness of the car, the camaraderie of tesla owners being part of something relatively new and unique, and the dashboard approach that allows you to follow the progress of the car, this is a prtty great (though long) process. Maybe the drawn out anticipation of having to wait for several weeks emphasizes it too. Can't imagine how the early adopters managed
Yes, my VIN showed up in the phone app on 4/25, I picked up my car on 5/7. Until I took delivery it just said something like remote access wasn't enabled, though.

Exactly, only someone who has been through the Tesla ordering experience could possibly understand.Thanks!

Funny, I went back through this very thread to find where I had posted about getting my VIN in the phone app. I read a few of my posts the couple of days leading up to my delivery date. It was pretty funny reading my own words from that time, I sounded like a crazed lunatic. And in real life I'm only a half crazed lunatic.
I was ridiculously excited. It was fun reading through those old posts, though... you, me, Scaesare, jomo25, rlang59, and a bunch of others all getting our cars within just a week or so of each other. Good times.
Now I'm 11,000 miles in, and still appreciating what this car can do. Last night I left work late, needed to pick up two ingredients for dinner and was a little stressed about getting dinner on the table at a decent time (I hate to eat late). While sitting in traffic, I pulled up the recipe online on the 17" screen so I could easily read it, called home using the car's Bluetooth, and gave my bf directions to start the process while I was en route to save time. Oh, and I got home super fast, too! Still loving this thing...

Has anyone that picked up their car since September received their vin number in the phone app?
Every time I tried I saw no vin number and got a message that "no active cars were found on your account". Or something to that effect.
