… isn’t it legal in Texas?I’ll never tell…
Either way it looks great, I reckon with a black interior it would look darker

I still think something is off. I placed my order 10 days before you and mine was built on March 20th.Mine was built March 18. Maybe just early enough that it actually is in transit already.
Mostly true, however Teslas paint is notoriously bad quality, thin, and soft. Ceramic coating does up the hardness to top level paint like on a Mercedes.Ceramic is not meant to protect from rocks. It's for ease of cleaning maintenance and shine enhancement.
Disagree with pretty much everything you assumed.Mostly true, however Teslas paint is notoriously bad quality, thin, and soft. Ceramic coating does up the hardness to top level paint like on a Mercedes.
Yelobird tends to disagree with anything that paints Tesla as doing anything that results in poor quality, take it with a grain of salt. I will agree with him in that ceramic coating won't do much to improve the durability of the paint.I've noticed the thin soft paint on my 2018 Model S and had it ceramic coated. I talked to a few detailers, ceramic coaters, and PPF guys that do Ferraris, Lambos, Bugattis all day long, and they all said Tesla's paint is softer and thinner than Mercedes or BMW. They have worked on ALL cars and said the paint is even worse than most US big 3 brands. It is not my opinion but that of many experts.
I paid $6k cash for Xpel Ultimate Fusion which provides both. Full car, authorized reseller. Chicagoland/NWI area.I’m paying $6,000 full Xpel PPF and an extra $995 for full ceramic coating over the film.
I disagreed because as you stated.ceramic doesn’t improve durability And his feedback on paint is from a dtailer that Sells a product and Service. That doesn’t prove his statement it Proves they earned a sale. I disagree with those that share Assumed statements as verified fact. Tesla is far from a perfect company and definitely not without issues.Yelobird tends to disagree with anything that paints Tesla as doing anything that results in poor quality, take it with a grain of salt.

Compromise would probably be getting PPF on the highest risk bits of the car. Quotes I was getting for that were around 1-2k. But I figured I might as well just spend the full amount and get a full PPF job.
Their build order is off. Lots of cars ordered months after me have delivery already. There does not appear to be a logic to this.I still think something is off. I placed my order 10 days before you and mine was built on March 20th.
This has nowhere near the precision that I would need for parking inside my garage. A deal breaker for me.
That post seems to me more evidence that a front bumper camera is unlikely as it would have limited usefulness in a non-cybertruck vehicle. Not sure what problem it would solve.
The 3 probably has better visibility, because the S hood is too damn long. But still, it would mainly help with parking and avoiding scraping the nose.

Eh that is meaningless. The problem with the current system is that it’s not consistent. Sometimes it can give a decent result. Sometimes it’s wildly inaccurate.

I agree. Just back in. I bought a wireless solar front camera as described in another thread and really haven’t used it for the month I’ve had it. I’ll back in or the vision system is accurate enough for my garage.Eh that is meaningless. The problem with the current system is that it’s not consistent. Sometimes it can give a decent result. Sometimes it’s wildly inaccurate.
A camera would make it easier for me to just park the car myself. Just like the rear camera does (hence why I basically always back into spots now)
Exactly me too. I literally have 2” clearance in my tiny garage.Eh that is meaningless. The problem with the current system is that it’s not consistent. Sometimes it can give a decent result. Sometimes it’s wildly inaccurate.

Congrats. have you had any issues?I never circled back but picked my plaid up in early March and have since added full front ppf, ceramic coating and ceramic window tint, along with 3d max interior all weather Matts.
That’s a good deal! I opted for the full car ceramic coating to cover both the film and all other parts of the car without film (windows, wheels, etc.) as I'm picking it up in Springfield and driving down to Houston, and I want maximum protection.I paid $6k cash for Xpel Ultimate Fusion which provides both.

I did negotiate/haggle about 12% off original ask.
