P3D+ Spoiler/DM badge Waiting Room

[siucity]

Advisor on phone yesterday said I wouldn’t get spoiler/badge/and even pedals on delivery day. Asked her for ETA and she was up front: “I have no clue”.

I could care less about the badge. It’ll go in the kitchen junk drawer. But I really want the spoiler. Pedals would be nice but whatever.

It’s silly that this stuff isn’t installed from the factory.

Pedals were already on mine. No badge or spoiler though.

Maybe in a year or two I'll get my red calipers painted gray.

As someone who wants to black out some of the dual motor badge, what order should I do the following:

1. Chrome delete
2. PPF
3. Ceramic

Should I wait until the badge comes in, then do the delete, PPF, and ceramic, despite the badge delivery date bring up in the air?

Should I PPF now, then when the badge comes in, do chrome delete and ceramic?

Something else?

so i had all of this done day 1 so i will be bringing my car back to my detailer to black out badge and then install badge and spoiler. he will remove some of the ceramic to apply spoiler and badge.

Ceramic last, for sure, based on what my detailer told me (my trunk panel is un-coated right now, until the badge and spoiler go on).

Tesla sent this email to me, fwiw


Thanks for reaching out. Badges and spoilers for the performance Model 3 will not be available until late October at the earliest. It will most likely be November before customers begin to receive them. Once they arrive you should be contacted by your local service team about installation. Congratulations on your new car. Have a great rest of your day.

Thanks for the update. But still ridiculous that it’s so late. Really should give us a free service or something lol.

I stopped by the Mt. Kisco, NY store and even the M3P test drive cars don't have spoiler or badge.

Little things like this just annoy the heck out of me about this company. lol

 

[Msjulie]

Yup I agree - silliness...

Signing up to this tread...

Don't forget us lowly 3D owners are supposed to get a badge as well just missing the "underline".

I personally think they are so close to the wire on posting a profit this quarter that they are not going to "order" these parts until after the quarter is past. So Oct 1st.

Just imagine in dollar terms how much this screw up is costing them. They are going to have to schedule service appointments and spend man hour time installing badges on 10s of thousands of cars that should have had it done at the factory. Kind of crazy.

I hope it's just a mobile van or something to my office - not free but easier for me

What are the opinions on the Performance designation being just the red line under dual motor?

Seems like the S and X P cars get an obvious logo to signify their status as a P car.

Any theory why Tesla wants to downplay the P aspect of their 3s?

Seems everything about the 3 is more 'subtle' ? Except maybe the red paint

I live about an hour from my SC, a little disappointed I will have to make a trek just for a badge on my AWD. Then again they might have them by the time they get to delivering my 3.

Just spoke with the Chicago Grand Avenue Service Center this morning — they confirmed that it would be late October or early November before the spoilers and badges start arriving.

Tesla is focused on "delivery hell" right now to hopefully make their first profit and show up Wall St at 3rd Qtr earnings. fingers crossed we get our spoilers/badges before Thanksgiving!

I wonder whether the spoiler's impact on vehicle handling will be noticeable. Any early feedback from anyone who's driven one with the spoiler on?
