I got my VIN and a small delivery date range (feb 29-mar 6), but I have not received anything from tesla about vision agreement yet.

Yes my EDD had been doing that since 2/18 but on 2/24 it started moving both front and back date. Waiting and trying to be patient.
I would recommend mud flaps at least on the front on these cars. Doing front and rear… I know.. I know
. That’s in addition to full PPF. We drive a lot miles though. PPF in front of the rear tires would be the absolute minimum. If that’s a person wants to I would think hard about doing the whole door panel.

Things seem to be moving quickly for me.
MSLR/blue/white/19"/wheel, transferring FUSC/FSD
2/6 - Ordered over the phone. EDD Feb to March
2/15 - EDD changed to Feb 29 to March 31
2/26 - EDD changed to Mar 4 to 25
2/28 - VIN assigned, Vision agreement accepted, EDD changed to Mar 1 to 8
2/29 - Asked to schedule delivery
3/4 - Currently scheduled for pick up at local delivery center (tho I had selected home delivery in the app)
For those curious, last night when they assigned my VIN, it asked me to upload my insurance document but didn't indicate anything about needing the new VIN so I uploaded my current instance, which appears to have been accepted.
How is the paint quality of the Model S been lately? I'm taking it straight from delivery to a nearby shop to get a tint and the front half wrapped in PPF (a full wrap is just too much money right now) then they are going to ceramic the rest of the car.
I'm thinking to NOT trade in my current S at delivery and instead either sell private party or maybe try something like CarMax or Carvana. Any suggestions on the best dealership to attempt a trade-in in Southern California? Tesla offered me 26k for my mid-2018 S 75D with 38k miles. What's curious is that was the price that included keeping FSD Beta on the car then, when I reminded them I was transferring both FUSC and FSD, a new quote appeared later showing the same price but, specifically calling out that FUSC/FSD was transferring to the new car, so I guess they give FSD a value of $0?

I have had good luck with just the front Tesla mud flaps. However, on a gently driven LR always in chill. No need add PPF over the factory stuff on the rear.I would recommend mud flaps at least on the front on these cars. Doing front and rear… I know.. I know

paint is Meh...as of '22. But only three very small chips on hood and fenders so far. Suggest just doing the lights and front bumper cover and maybe mirror caps. with the heaviest stuff you can get such as Xpel 10. I think this will make the car look better.
I think you can ceramic and maybe do the hood and mirror caps yourself with a kit to save money.
Autonation, but really in SoCal, try Craigslist, autotrader, Facebook market place. I wish I had a clean 75D with sunroof and a light Oak interior
Tesla offers are usually lower than anyone else.
Maybe that's what's is worth
The saga continues. Finally got a response back from Tesla after over 2 weeks that just read 'Still waiting on factory.' Then 30 minutes later my order completely disappears from my Tesla account. Fun times! I'm sure this just means I'm being moved around in the system but funny nonetheless.

We tried a few of those services like CarMax or Carvana for our trade in M3LR that we currently have. Their quotes were less than Tesla and even if they were higher than Tesla we would have lost out on the sales tax savings by not trading in to Tesla. Do you have a trade in tax credit policy in your state?

Such a true statement. I'm trying to find another comparison in my life where I've accepted such poor customer service yet kept brand loyalty because of the product. I can't find one. I do believe they will figure it out though. So much innovation in a short timeframe across the car buying, service, insurance and energy experience. It truly is remarkable. Maybe that's why?
Both of my orders completely disappeared from my Tesla account... app and online
"The systems are down" and so they can't transact at the moment. Should've taken the over LOL

Systems are down broadly it appears. I'm literally here waiting in the lounge for my pickup, which I had moved to 5:30p today.

If anyone has to take a trip to the Store only to be told that the LR they was supposed to be delivered is not ready, they should demand a free upgrade to a Plaid.
If enough do it, who knows?

So far no driving issues. No 38 to 50 mph vibration. Haven't been up to 80 but did hit 75 briefly on the freeway.
The active noise cancellation is working way better than it did on the X. I wonder if there was some improvement since 2022? There's a pretty drastic difference between toggling it on and off.
