Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

[PR0FESSOR]

Oh my gosh.... that is BEAUTIFUL!

If you don't mind me asking, what did the paint correction, PPF, and tinting each cost you? I am looking for a shop to do mine right now (once mine comes in).

Do you have a full side view you can post?

Just picked mine up from getting ceramic coated and tinted windows. Looks gorgeous. Everyone in the shop said this is the best color Tesla has ever made. So happy. View attachment 928209

Does anyone know if repairing paint chips on a color like Ultra Red is more complicated than a normal color? Is it still possible to do a perfect repair?

Dude I am more excited even more now after these pics. I definitely getting mine pff and smoked out in 20%tint. I parallel parked today and freaked out with my moms yoke. No way I can drive with a yoke

I get the excitement of a new color until I don’t. Ultra red is just a rehash of signature red. You can disagree with me fine, but multi-coat red will always be the best Tesla color until the end of time. Congrats to new owners, it’s cool. Case in point, the best multi coat red from 2015 left in the USA. Here…

colors are subjective. I don't share your opinion, but to each their own. Ultra Red looks better to me

 

[PR0FESSOR]

That is a beautiful car! To be honest, I would have purchased either color of red, and to really be able to tell which one I like better, I would need to see both colors side by side on a sunny day, partially cloudy day, and at night under parking lot lighting (some of the car shows I go to extend until after dark and I am frequently surprised how different paint looks at night).

Regardless, you have a beautiful car and so does everyone who has the new Ultra Red color!

Took delivery! Paint was perfect, panel gaps look great, off to PPF and tint!

HW4, new roof, lighter seat stitching than my 2021, looks nice.

Congrats! What's your VIN?

 

[PR0FESSOR]

I received the notice to schedule my delivery today. I scheduled delivery for April 24th. This should be a fun week waiting to go pick it up.

Hmm. Mine did not. Unless it’s in the trunk. My advisor forgot to put my plate on and rushed out to do it before I left, maybe it’s in the trunk somewhere, or they just plain forgot to give me one.

All S/X come with glossy black license plate frames. Should be in the frunk

yep, while I was low key complaining about my lost $250 order fee, he mentioned it was located in the frunk. Now i have to decide if im putting on my old front plate or removing the front bracket all together.

My car came with a nice black TESLA frame in the back?

Same here...last year. Perhaps went away with key fobs?

Good to hear, but I still have a mild case of Ultra Red Envy....

I'm seeing 7 or so UR cars in inventory in SoCal, so delivery should not take long, for those that are waiting.

Hope so! Still haven't gotten a new VIN since refusing the first one

Patience, with these inventory levels, you can be picky.

Maybe a small price drop before EOQ2....

All,

I just received an interesting text from Tesla:

“Hi Joe, your trade-in value has increased since the last time you saw it! To view your increased offer value, resubmit the trade-in task in your Tesla App.

Questions? Reply here.”

LOL. They offered me 24.5k for my Jeep, and I sold it for 38k on bringatrailer.com on Sunday. This is the second vehicle I have sold on bring a trailer and the sales prices have always been significantly more than private party book value.

You are probably on Tesla’s “naughty” list, and have you slated for the first HW5 release in 2025.

I am sure they will offer free Supercharging, premium connectivity, or 6 month free FSD once the EOQ2 drops. I was gonna wait but the current price drop is enough for me and my trade value will only drop as I add more miles. So happy I forfeited my deposit few months ago I saved 20k.

I actually received my VIN last night but my EDD has not updated and have not received any scheduling text just yet.

Maybe it's because they refuse to answer my question as to why they're charging me full price for the Ultra Red when I ordered it while it was still the Multi Coat Red, lol.

Tesla didn't charge full price for other people who had ordered the old red, so you should push back on that one.
