Same here, and honestly, they tried to tell me "it's a performance car," but I'm in OH, and summer tires won't fly here for 5 months so no way I was going to accept that. BUT it comes down to the goodwill of the service center, unfortunately.

Can someone please explain to me what all this talk of tinting hinges means? I tried to look back at all the previous messages mentioning it but could figure out neither which hinges are being talked about, nor why anyone would talk about tinting a hinge.

Sorry, it’s nonsense sarcasm. Big jokes about new hinges and speculation that tinting windows increases risk of breakage.
I am very confused on all this motor conversations. Are we saying the fourth motor is now a feature?!? What’s the quarter time with that motor?! Do we have a draggy run specifically on that motor?! I NEED ANSWERS PEOPLE
During your attendance, how many kids did Elon have?Well I attended the Elon University of Fabrication and learned that tint, screen motors and hinges are all negligible in weight but still affect the cars overall 1/4 mile times.
They want the payment before you arrived so you will have to pay via the app. I tried to reason with them about look at the car first and pay after but that didn't work

Happy day. To my pleasant surprise, I woke up this morning to see my EDD change from Sept. 5-Oct. 17 to a 17-day window of Aug. 8-Aug. 25. I think this means I might be getting a car soon. Beyond excited.

Morning all, got a text today to schedule my delivery! I'm set for 8/6 at 11am. Very exciting! Still waiting for my trade-in valuation to be added (it says "pending") since it expired over the weekend after hitting the 30 day mark. Hopefully it's the same value as before. Keeping my fingers crossed. I will ask at delivery about the swap from summer to A/S tires, but based upon past phone calls and texts, I'm not optimistic. Worst case, I'll drive on the summer tires to early December and swap them to A/S tires. The Michelin Total Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires look highly ranked. Even higher rated them the OEM A/S tires that Tesla might offer (Conti Procontact RX's)
I do have some unfortunate experience with this type of swap on past few new cars that I've purchased. Last four vehicles I've purchased came with Run Flat Tires which are terrible. I ended up swapping them off after the first 5k miles or so. Looks like my Model S will be more of that same! New car, followed by appointment for new tires... LOL

It’s dumb that they come with summer tires to areas that snow and will be used year round
Not exactly sure but I do know he impregnated the teacher of the Underpopulation and Global Cooling class.
It is inconvenient, but it's not exclusive to Tesla, BMW does this for any of their performance cars, as well as Porsche, Benz, etc.
They have to sell the car with the tires that got their advertised specs, which ends up with tires that are more specialized for a certain environment.
Yes but as I said, it was a goodwill jesture. They made it clear of that. not guarantee they'd do it for you.

Lol, we’ll the only thing they made clear to me is that they wouldn’t do it. Haha
Ya hope they will, but will have to see. Just lame my last vin from a few weeks ago had a/s and this one has sport. I’m very excited to be getting it just wish I didn’t have to spend 2k more on new tires
I'm just wildly guessing about this, but I imagine most SCs have a "goodwill budget" where they can - at the managers' discretion - provide goodwill services to customers. They may have exhausted it (if indeed it even actually exists).
