I'm SCing now and I think it's definitely just the lock mechanism. Definitely noticable noise in my classic.

I wonder what changed for it to sound so loud in my classic and barely noticeable in the new loaner. Maybe they didn't make the magnet as strong with auto close charge port, so the disengage is less? No biggie, just had me curious. I didn't even think much of it until I went to charge to loaner.
Tesla doesn't tint windows, at least they didn't at that time. The previous owner tinted your windows. Can't tell from the pictures if the front and rear side windows are the same or not. It they aren't it is a dead giveaway that the windows are tinted, but yours are clearly tinted already.

I though they didn't, aside the pano roof. I got it tinted and they confirmed it did have after market tint, although it was a positive providing double the layer or heat reduction. I believe front rear and hatch were all the same.
Not sure what they add to the pano roof but it is wonderful. A lot darker from the inside than even my new tint but the heat reduction feel like 100%. Well mayble not that, but very extreme.

My wait should be over tomorrow. I sent a text to the DS and asked if we were still on for tomorrow. He said another customer and I would both be picking up at 5pm tomorrow. I asked for a list of things fixed or replaced on the car. He said he would work on it, but I might not get it until delivery.
Hopefully my next list will contain a picture of me smiling next to my car.....

OK y'all so, if you get some idiot accusing you of polluting by fueling your car with coal - well not you Canadians, your grid is cleaner - that's one of the tropes you'll see around the internet. Well hasn't happened to me yet but when it does here's my response: 99% of my car's energy comes from solar. That big roof above the car in this photo? A big ole solar array
And it looks good doing it

I've thought about getting personal home solar panels but my utilities company is nonprofit and is ramping out solar as part of their grid, so my costs are super low, 6cents. So I'm waiting to see what solar programs they roll with for now. P
Wow 6 cents? That's very cheap, like less than 60% of what I pay. I don't have any panels either (state has very regressive policies against them), but maybe one day. The ones in my pic are at work. Since I can charge every day for free (we just have a yearly club fee of like $30 to keep the chargers working... mostly) it's enabled me to not have to worry about getting a socket put in at home yet. Ran it down to 66% over the July fourth weekend; last charge was last Friday (just plugged it in this morning).

FL isn't really an EV friendly state I would say. No extra perks. So you don't see many businesses having charging for EV's, at least in my city. So luckily its cheap at home. Here is a rough estimate from TeslaFi based on my cost and charges of about 9 days in June
Would have been easy $100 in my previous ICE at the current $2.10 per gallon cost of today
I asked for no more ETAs. Just tell me when it is 100% ready and I will pick it up the next day.
Problem - I set up the sale of my current car for tonight. Not sure what I'm going to do from tonight until I get the car.
7/2 Ordered CPO S70D, got the canned email.
7/5 Got a call from my CPO Advisor with an email to go over the process, answer any questions, etc etc.
I am told it will be another 3 to 5 weeks before delivery, depending on how things go.
This wait may destroy me.
