I installed the OEM's on the front. they are there and are very low to the ground. worried they will fall off but I have the front's from the baseonor set from amazon since I just used those for the back.

Dedicated thread. I put taped a pre-filter on until we can get the custom made ones to around HEPA and a shower dam to seal the front trunk from allowing water in.

Did you get it? My car is scheduled for delivery Friday. Yep. Fits much better than the first prototype. They will get a production batch going and it may take a few weeks given their pipeline. But I’d strongly recommend anyone who wants it ping Alan @ filterwears dot com and that may get...

Ordered the spoiler from RPM so it looks more like my old P85. I guess it's trying to jump into the Plaid for cheap but it is more of a performance car than my old P85 so might as well.

I have an appointment for Monday because of a paint chip which has also put a tiny ding in the hood. What normally happens in this situation? To make it truly look as it should have, I would imagine they would have to have the entire hood repainted along with the fenders to “blend” the paint.
The car is perfect I’m every other respect and I now have 500 miles on it. With the amount of driving I do, it’s going to get more rock chips so I’m still thrilled with my new car, but it should have at least looked “new” without chips or dings until I put them there.
Honestly, had it not been raining and the car already outside in the rain when I picked it up, I would have simply asked them to make me another car as I have a perfectly good, though apparently worthless in resale, 85D to drive. But I couldn’t inspect the car when it was covered in rain and she said it’s no problem because I have 100 miles and 24 hours (it’s actually seven days) to find any problems…. I just thought, ok, I’ll look at it at home in the morning, not thinking that of course that eliminated the possibility of rejecting the car.
If the result of the appointment Monday is that they agree to repaint the hood, has anyone been able to instead negotiate a credit in the amount (or less) of what the body shop will charge them to repaint?

Its the priceless von Holzhausen work of art you savage!
In my mind it comes down to what they have to do to fix it. If, because it’s not just a chip but also a small (albeit very small, but clearly visible) ding, I would think repaint might be necessary. If it is, that’s a lot of money paid to the auto body shop. In such cases, I’m just wondering if credit (as in credit with Tesla, not cash back), is something they do.

And I’m fine with that. The reason I would consider a credit is not due to whether the chip is minor or not. It actually stands out like a sore thumb. The reason I would take a credit for less than the cost of the repair is because I know there are more chips to follow. The red hood on my 85D after 241,000 miles has a lot of chips.
IF they were going to need to spend money making it right, a credit to be used for Tesla goods/services in lieu of restoration would be a win/win.
OTOH, if they made my hood look good as new I would probably have PPF applied to only the hood.

I agree, I would have them do paintless dent removal and just touch up the chip unless it is a big chip. I personally don’t love repaints on a new car.

Honestly, I dread the thought of leaving an otherwise good delivery at the SvC.
If you can go to a good PDR shop to remove the dent, and touch it up yourself, I will guess that PPF will cover it right up. Show it to your PPF guy first.
In 10k miles, I have 4 paint chips on the hood, but only one is noticable.

Well he said drive it for 100 miles. Seems like if that bothered you just reject delivery and get a Taycan. This is Tesla we are talking aboutNot delivery damage

The surface has to be pristine for PPF. Clear PPF will only make a defect more noticeable.
10k and only 4 chips. Well I guess that’s typical SoCal roads. However, isn’t it time for a new ride. Maybe a 2024/25 quad-motor Plaid + with anti-vibration technology.

Took delivery on Saturday morning the 25th in Dedham, MA. The car was outside on the Supercharger, and they told me to go sit in it and check it out. I found one minor paint issue near the left rear wheel well, and no other defects interior or exterior. Overall a quick and satisfactory experience.
An hour before leaving for my appointment, I put my 2020 Model S on the Lexington Supercharger for one last free top-off before the transfer. The FUSC transfer went through that afternoon, according to my app.
Now all I have to do is sell my old Model S; probably to a local dealer...

I drove my new LR that I picked up on Friday some more over the weekend. Getting tint now. Very happy with it. Again, minor trunk misalignment. I don’t feel like letting them mess with it. I didn’t feel any vibration when I got it up to 80mph. It did come with FSD 3 month trial which when I asked the tesla dealer about he said I didn’t get it but of course I did. Car looks awesome and I’m very happy with it and the 25K price drop of whatever it has been the last year.
