The arcade games that come with the car are free, FYI.Can't drive it during a hurricane.It's just going to sit in the garage, with me in the driver seat, like a kid at an arcade with no quarters.

Going to be racing his beach buggy.Can't drive it during a hurricane.
Appreciate the positivity! I'm really curious/worried about the Texas piece. Possible something changed. Fingers crossed.
I asked them to flag my account for cars whose owners did not take delivery / declined delivery there can be any number of reasons for not getting delivered … most common being financial .. and includes issues with the car upon inspection….
once u accept a vin number on phone call , you can go the lot and do a walk around ( I did ) and u have a choice of declining till you sign on the dotted line …
Once U accept the VIN , they change the car in your account and of course u have to pay for upgrades if the car was ordered with those on … in my case I had fo pay for the paint , And wheel upgrades compared to my original build ….
if you are a day one reservation type of reservation holder and want the car at the earlier price point , you may have to wait until chip prices come down from statospheric level … I don’t think Tesla will sell a car at loss … they adjust prices all the time based on price of parts etc ….

I have this one that I first used: SAMSUNG T7 Portable SSD 500GB - Up to 1050MB/s - USB 3.2 External Solid State Drive, Blue (MU-PC500H/AM)
Seemed to get pretty hot in the glovebox. So I reverted back to the Tesla supplied one. With 6k miles on it - no issues. May retry the Samsung one.

I’m going back and forth about submitting my credit application for my plaid order but still annoyed from when I ordered my MX and submitted application at the behest of my SA only to get shafted

EDD journey:
I am actually more anxious now, then before the EDDs starting showing up. Thanks to all on this forum for the great info (and support for the last 9 months), especially @omarsultan and others who have been kind enough to share their experiences. I am sure I will have a ton of questions (first time EV buyer) post delivery, but thought I would get started early with one related to parking in my garage. I have a narrow opening to my garage and was hoping to use some technology in the car (FSD) to make this easier. The Summon option seems to be the best candidate, but I want to use this while I am in the car. Has anyone been able to test that to confirm it would work? Any other suggestions on how do accomplish this with my car? As always, any help would be appreciated.

…and THAT’S what ~ 40lb of unsprung weight loss will do for you! Nice!
0.02 seconds off his previous best with 21s? Does anyone really care, though?

At least you'll have your car in the garage by the time it hits. Imagine a delivery appt on Monday/Tues...

Very nice. Looking forward to getting tint done here so I stop getting roasted in the sun.
Your EDD is so close you should be fine. I did have a problem where they kept pushing mine out 1 day each day but that stopped once my car was in transit. Have you called to see where your car is? Calling almost any SC or SA will get you in the phone system. I hit 1 for vehicles and then 2 for pre-delivery issues. The person that eventually picks up can ping your car to get recent gps on it. Once in transit, your dates will be pretty solid.
As much as I like this stuff, I think it is a bit ridiculous. 0.02 sec is nothing at all. Unless he traps a few mph higher or gets in the 9.1 ET changing wheels is purely an esthetic decision.

Yeah, agreed. Strictly for bragging rights. Still cool tho.
It is completely imperceptibly faster, but it is 1% faster than the promise from Tesla, which is impressive on paper.

Probably not for 0-60mph (which is like the first 75ft from launch), but it may make a more significant difference in the 1/4 mi. Brooks is going to the track today I believe and will post up. We'll see. Weight reduction is pretty much all you can do with this car to get a little better performance, but to most people, it makes zero difference.

EXACTLY! And, it also previews what the gains from the Track Pack may be. Maybe a few hundredths off the 0-60, and maybe sub 9.2 in the quarter mile. Brooks said on IG that he directly tried to mimick the Track Pack wheels sizes, and tire sizes.
