Nice way of putting it. Looks like you are having a good driving experience.Ok
It's official.
I've found something I do not like about the new Plaid.
I am certain this is the car's fault.
I've talked to more cops in the last three months than the three proceeding years
Not sure anyone really knows the life span of it. But on older Porsche 911's that had PPF by the rear wheels, seems like I've always seen those sections turn yellow-ish (UV impact) over the years. Admittedly we are talking at least 10+ years for those.
Also removal of very old PPF (especially PPF thats been in blazing hot sun in hot climates) I can only imagine to be a bit..challenging to do in a manner that leaves the paint underneath 100% damage free?

Not sure if this is new or of interest - my lease approval expired (thanks Tesla!) - said good for only 90 days, I think it was actually held longer than that. Regardless, the account page showed something like, "prepare for delivery" and got me all excited.
I took a look, and the money factor on Tesla's lease is meh - about 4.32% converted give or take.
So, I may finance after all.
Anyway, when I put in for payment method, "cash" the prepare for delivery went away, and I was back to my standard account page.
I dunno. The prepare for delivery excited me, I think like it did over 90 days ago. Sigh. I did want a payment method in there, like my insurance card (which doesn't have the Tesla VIN) in an attemp to "check off all the boxes" and maybe have the Tesla monkey like me. So far, the only one who likes me is Leo, as he'll get his car before I get mine.

Took a drive last night with my MS. Realized how terrible the headlights are. If they every update the headlights I wouldn’t mind paying $1-2k to upgrade them. I’ve driven my friend’s 2020 MY and M3. The headlights are noticeably better. My Toyota with a $300 aftermarket projector and hid kit has better headlights. It definitely won’t get a Top Safety Pick from IIHS with these headlights.
No, better PPF is warrantied for 10-12 years. I was referring to the top coats (ceramic or graphene).
PPF has evolved greatly in the last 10 years and quality installers are better at their craft today. Good installers wrap edges and today's PPF doesn't yellow.

I see from the ONR bottle you gave her a good cleaning.
Any issues apart from the wifi?
I assume you tried a reboot.

RN1152 July order, blk/blk 19’ FSD, VIN on 12/19
Happened with me before 2.49 with chase bank then 2.54 with BMO. $2 different in monthly payment. So i didn’t bother to call anyone and accepted that. But the way Tesla building my private Jet, seems like that its going to expire again and will get notification again that it’s expired.

Does anyone have any experience with PPF on the back fenders after putting some miles on? Any damage on the leading edge of the wheelwell?
They're unfortunately the same exact headlights from the 2016+ Model S. Yeah they're not great, even the Rav4 Prime I rode in recently has way better headlights.
dont worry guys after we all take delivery they will refresh the lights probably thats my luck
I wonder if (and when) the new lights are available, if this is something an SC could upgrade? So long as the housing etc stays the same...who knows.dont worry guys after we all take delivery they will refresh the lights probably thats my luck
Looks like my white on white LR was pushed back again. Order put in on April 2nd and now the earliest delivery date is December 11.
Eight months by my finger counting.

Could and will are two very different things. I have a feeling if it's the same housing, then it would be more likely to be a DIY upgrade than offered by the SC as a service. Although, I think if (and when) they update the headlights, they will be a fancier laser-array type and require different software, which is a whole 'nother issue.
If this is still available, I am 100% interested!

Off to pick up my EOQ Model S LR (after getting VIN and text delivery invite at the same time and 4 hours later a second delivery text saying schedule a delivery time asap or the car will be assigned to the next customer).
A big thank you to everyone here for all the advice and psychological counseling. FYI re: delays, my wife made me go to the Porsche and MB dealers last night to make sure I took a good look at the Taycan and could ask about the EQS so I wouldn't have buyer's remorse.
At Porsche, the only one they had was sold for 20k over MSRP according to the salesman. The 2 used ones they had were selling at a huge premium too (admittedly very low miles but noticeably more than new ones). The salesman said they weren't taking orders on Taycans anymore until they knew their allocation and said it would be at least until the middle of next year and that they would be charging a premium. My wife reminded me that they had ones to test drive months ago when I ordered the Tesla.
The MB dealer had cars but they were all marked up well over MSRP and the salesman said they wouldn't have EQS lists or more info than is available online until closer to the end of the year. He said he expected that in the current climate, that there would be similar if not greater markups over MSRP for those.
No buyers remorse (not that I was expecting any but availability and cost were not good). Hopefully, QC on my EOQ S won't be so bad that I regret it.
Thanks again.
