You are not alone. Bone Stock is how I like it.
In 10 years, no one will pay extra for mods.
I'm even thinking of leaving the shipping damage alone so I can show the grandkids what Tesla was like, before Elon set up Giga Mars....
Didn't you tell them to not clean the car? I vaguely recall you posting about that. Several times.
10 years!! try 10 days from now no one will pay extra for mods. If people are buying used they are trying to save money, not pay extra.
One thing I noticed the other day. Saw an older Model S with TSportline wheels. They looked awful. Then it clicked, so many mods don’t age at the same rate the car does. They discolor differently, they fade differently, they wear differently. Not necessary worse but distinctly different. They look like a patch work.

Yep. Something about aftermarket wheels has never really sat well with me, too. They look like a mod, and I’ve always associated modding with lower-end cars. Perhaps crazy talk, but…
But it’s not a bad thing when Tesla mods their cars with new lights and tilt screen. And torque vectoring and 3 carbon sleeved rotors creating 1020 HP!

My MSLR has a similar scrape on the underside of the front bumper. I made a service request and they scheduled me 5 days out for a replacement bumper, then moved it 2 weeks further back. Now scheduled in 2 days, I'm halfway expecting it to get moved back again. Sucks because now I'm not even driving the car because I don't want any wear/tear before I get PPF installed.
Just FYI in case you are looking to get the bumper replaced
LOL, that was me - Yes my SA said they're well aware of the tax kicking in on Sept 1 and were trying to get as many S's and X's delivered before then. I'm still skeptical about that but cautiously optimistic given the EDD move today. Having said that, I know EDD's move around like Yo Yo's based on the experience of a ton of folks on this forum. So not getting my hopes up too high just yet. We'll just have to wait and see I guess

The original 2012-2020 Arachnids were fully forged.I was just talking about the future fully forged Tesla Arachnids that will be required along the Tesla Ceramics brakes in order for the 200 MHP software to be released.
The new Zero-G performance wheels will be made available as part of the track package at a future date.
Tesla hints at Model S Plaid "Track Package" with large Zero G wheels in parts catalog
The Tesla Model S Plaid is designed to be a hardcore smackdown to gasoline-powered cars, so much so that its specs must be experienced to be believed. Unlike its predecessors, the Model S Plaid is even designed to handle the rigors of track driving, making it a four-door, all-electric monster...
www.teslarati.com
"A look at Tesla’s current Parts Catalog for the Model S shows that the company has listed two new wheels, which suggest that a dedicated “Track Package” may be coming for the flagship high-performance sedan. Specifically, these new parts appear to be Zero-G wheels with 285 front/305 wide rear tires.
Such wheels have been spotted in a Model S Plaid prototype at Laguna Seca, as per images shared by EV group The Kilowatts."

Not sure the verbage I used here, but I asked them not to wash the car.
They did anyway.
Never told them not to clean the interior,
As it never occurred to me you would need to clean the interior on a new car.
