Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Spyderman09]

Yeah I will. This went WAY too far. There are no new hinges to my knowledge.
We had been talking about some minor changes that have likely occurred under the skin of Model S since the start of production in June, and I suggested something minor, such as hinges.
And here we are lol.

Wait wait wait wait.... So they're putting in used hinges?!

Stopped by the SC again because why not. They have a white long range vin 465??? For sale. White on white with 19in wheels, 99k

They also had a black one with the new headlights, white interior.

I really like the black! Really glad I made the change however my account still shows a red model. What gives

On a side note. I was extremely impressed by the panel gaps on the black one. Didn’t inspect it too closely but from what I saw panels were perfectly aligned which means Tesla CAN make good cars.

So of course I entered my 2 week edd window today (March 13-26) and open my app to find my Tesla financing had expired .

I'm surprised I didn't get any warning or heads up that it was expiring. I re-applied and the application is pending but I'm really hoping this doesn't cause any kind of further delay.

While staring at the MSM this morning (see earlier post) noticed the right rear was off about 1/4". Pretty bad. Sure they will fix pretty delivery. Our SC is pretty good.

Anyone who has gotten PPF on a black model s, does it in any way ruin the look of the car? Is the wrap extremely noticeable? I really like the shiny black and am a bit worried the wrap would dull the look.

Initially I wasn’t interested in getting the wrap was just going to go with opticoat, but I really want to keep the car looking as good as possible for as long as possible.

I’m concerned that my new car has more than 50 door closes on the drivers side

Full PPF…Xpel. IMO, it has only enhanced the gloss/shine. Absolutely love it.

Well dang! Now I have to get that done! Looks so good!

They took a few hours cleaning up the paint and polishing before the PPF. The PPF just "seals" that shine on it. Prep is the key.

I was worried the wrap would have that dull plastic look to it.
Doesn’t appear to be the case in that video

It will if cheap film or poorly installed.

I’m planning on using the same shop that did the opticoat on my last model s. They do many high end sports cars

But definitely will be stopping by to look at their work in person!

Stunning.

It’s kind of like when I mentioned that the new lights would make the car slower!

New lights make new refresh slower, CONFIR…. Oh I give up.

What's wrong with red?

I think you are thinking of the Matte PPF. which is a non glossy look by design. any clear PPF will not reduce gloss/shine.

Nothing whatsoever! It’s a great color but my previous model s was red, and although I still love the red, I’m excited to try out the black.

I love black cars, I hate owning black cars. I also like to take my cars through the “car wash meat grinder” and you can see every mark.

That’s where I’m hoping the ppf will help, reduce or eliminate spider webbing
