Yes. It will take a few days, though. But it is a tad more convenient than making a physical cashier’s check. I understand why people don’t want to hand their money to Tesla even for a second - their past performance with refunds was terrible. Plaid made it better, at least this was my experience.

I actually prefer that rather than having them micro swirl the you know what out of the paint.

If you contact them through the app or text, they can look up the actual production date. Or maybe it's just the date the car was finished. Not sure. Mine was built Tuesday February 20, 2024.
Depends on what you want. MS Plaid = high horsepower, high speed Grand Touring. More of a BMW M5/M6/M8 analog. M3 Performance = small, agile track/short course weapon. An M3/M4 analog. Viva la difference! For the role of this car in my garage right now, I need the former more than the latter, as I have track cars.This looks good....
Gah. Pick up Plaid or hold out for new Model 3 performance?
Unless they massively improve the suspension on the new one, I wouldn’t says the model 3 performance is a great track / short course car, certainly not BMW M3 level.
Very curious to see what they’re doing with the new one. Sounds like it has the same front motor as the old one, but the 5D1 (Plaid front) in the rear. The suspension looks significantly lower in that video. If it has actually good suspension and can maintain high speed pull like the Plaid, I might actually come to regret buying the Plaid over waiting for the new performance. Though I wish they’d give the 3 a more S-like interior.

I imagine the interior will be identical to the Highland 3 interior, so you can go see it now. Supposedly pretty similar to the S.
Agreed. The most recent M3P I driven ('23) seems like they've been working on it vs. the last '20 vintage I drove. But recently I drove a Highland LR and it's clear the suspension is fundamentally different, so we'll see. As a tool, however, for me I need more of a distance car this time, so I'm only academically interested.
Actually quite nice and surprised me. M3 and MY feels cheaper to me, but Highland feel a notch up, especially on the road. Have a look drive. Close to S but not an S.
Ah. Well, true enough, that's more of a design philosophy. I think you said you owned a M3 at one point? We still have an MYP and I don't mind it, but I get that others want something more.

Scheduled for pickup on Wednesday at noon.
Lucky guy! Nearly three months and still no vin for me. I guess the 8 hr drive from freemont is slowing my delivery down.
