NJ 2014 S60 Delivery Confirmed - Jan 17th!

[JaredBanyard]

Congrats Jared. I am curious as to what revision 60kwh battery you have (what is shipping from tesla these days), can you check? The label is located on the battery in the passenger wheel area.

Sure, when the car isn't covered in snow

@JaredBanyyard - your car looks great, both under the cover and undressed...congrats!

When you are able to take a break from driving (or just admiring) your new car, do you mind posting an update on the Q1 order tracker, so @KaJu74 can get our master tracker updated?

Congrats again!

Yay! Boo, snow. Hope you get to get out and drive at least a little this week!

They just delayed my delivery for the 2nd this week Jared - now it's not scheduled until the 31st. I'm beginning to think the S60's don't get the same respect at the factory that the Ps get.

I was hoping we would get a review on how well that car handles in the snow! Congrats on the new car!

Go take it for a spin! It handles great in the snow. Donuts with GG would be a cool video!

Sorry JJR64 for your delay. Remember when you ordered your S60 as my S85. it say 2-3 month's. P85 say 1 month.. Hey DiscoD Krispy Kreme Donuts are coming soon to CA. maybe WA

Hah you guys are funny.. The drive down to the detail shop was amazing, slushy take offs at a light, I was going 70 while the rest of the cars were still in the intersection...

The car is actually at the detail shop getting paint corrected, XPEL wrapped and Opti-coated.

Here is the pretty dramatic factory paint damage:

Here is a 50/50 Before/After:

Here are some partial completion teasers:

I get it back tomorrow, I'll post more pictures then!

Is Lee doing tinting also? What %'s if so?

He is doing mine next week, and I haven't decided what % yet...I don't want them too dark, maybe 35% in the front, and maybe 50 or 60 in the back. Also doing a full matte wrap and de-chroming.

 

[MassX1317]

Did they put swirls in your black paint? That's the only reason I won't get black but black looks the best, ugh!

 

[JaredBanyard]

Yup. I'm getting 35% on the sides and 20% on the hatch to match the pano.

Yup. They said those were buffer mistakes from the factory and general crappy paint treatment.

How was the paint issue resolved?

2 stage paint correction by milling, buffing, and polishing. Then XPEL wrapping the front and Opticoating the rest to seal it in.

Interesting optical illusion above your passenger side tail light assembly.
