lol that's funny. You know, I thought about just leaving them and letting nature take its course, but it's really loud when they scrape. I don't have my old cammed, ported and headered 6.2L LS3 rumbling to drown out that sound anymoreIt def looks ok. I agree with the points made before, and add:
The flaps are self trimming...
They eliminate almost all the rock chips on the rear quarter panel.
They give early warning when approaching an entrance that you need to raise the suspension.
Exactly. 230k for a Taycan turbo S that is slower and can't charge anywhere... Same problem with lucid. Once everyone adopts NACS there will be more options.

There is a greater than zero chance Tesla will nerf the charging speeds on the competition.
That wouldn't be surprising, although it would increase congestion because then those cars would be hanging around longer.
Not to mention, if some NACS approved automaker gets into a spat on Twitter with Elon, he'll just remove them from the network like he did to Disney in the car.
@krammar81 here are a couple pics. Hard to get any detail with the way the sun is right now along with the color of my car.

Dream on Elon, dream on!
I can’t predict the next pricing move but IMO in medium term prices are coming down. To expand the buyer base for S they have to take market share from BMW 5 series and equivalent. Which means base price needs to come to mid 60Ks. An almost 30K price differential between M3P and MSLR will not last. And 3 and Y are more likely to further cheapen.
They did just drop the price on the plaid by $43k. I can't imagine going lower. I guess it depends on how many more offensive tweets Elon puts out, driving away buyers.
Possibly but I doubt it. They announced MSSR in Aug, and then not a peep. It is a product with horrible positioning.
Opinion Only! The MS-X pricing mega drop was to offset the all but stopped interest in the Model 3 customers awaiting the Highland update scheduled for early 24’. Loosing that market was nearly 1/3 of their annual sales in Q3-4. Few will pull the trigger on a M3 knowing the much improved version is around the corner. (I know I would wait). Pumping MS-X units to balance revenue was a power play with incentives (FSD, charge transfer, etc). Once Highland is pumping at capacity in Fremont you can be certain MS-X costs will raise to slow that train down. Again, my Opinion.
Agree with @terranx and would add a note that the upcoming revised M5 & M5 Competition will extend the 5 to a family price range of 60K - 135K, perhaps a bit more with options. I don't think Tesla will add that level of manufacturing complexity to match the 5 model for model.
At the 80k it was initially announced at, it wasn’t very compelling. At 65k I could see people buying it.
