I don’t know how everyone gets such good offers from carvana. They’ve always been the lowest for me.
I took
That's not necessarily true. Carvana overpays because their entire business is a ponzi scheme.

I don't think you will get dinged for that unless there is another car approaching in the lane and the car auto corrects to avoid an accident. The only time I avoid hugging the line is on the shoulder side of the line. Too close to bridges and rails and such - it will do a lane correction and ding you for it. Something else I forgot to mention that happened to me. If you drive a few short miles and get a major ding on your score - like a 50 or something, you can actually drive around really safe the rest of the day to bring the score back up. Just make several short trips that are 100 and it will factor all of that into your score for the day. Your safety score is a 30 day window of your driving. You have the ability to look at daily trips - who was driving at the time and so forth. If you have a really bad day that affects your score, it will eventually drop off the 30 day window they look at.
Took delivery of our Model X Plaid on Saturday after 339 days. I know many have waited longer.
The quality is decent, but far from perfect. The biggest problem is that the passenger falcon door does not go all the way up because the sensor thinks something is there when it's not. The technician said they have had this problem a lot, and it's because Fremont forgot to take the clear plastic protector off the face of the sensor!
Panel gaps are fine, no problem there.
The adhesive on the rear plastic wheel arch trim pieces has failed and the trim is lifting. A plastic cover/trim piece in the trunk fell off the first time we opened it.
The screen in front of the Yoke seems to build condensation when the AC has been blasting for a while ( The AC blows directly on it!!).
Even with all that said, the car is fantastic. It's unbelievably fast, and feels like the future. Once these issues are fixed I am hoping to have many years of enjoyment out of it. I knew what I was buying into when I placed the order, and while disappointed, am not surprised by the issues.

I never give room to lane splitters who are a hazard to everyone else. Also by moving over for them you become partially liable for any accidents that may occur even though you are just trying to be kind and generous. It is not really appreciated and becomes expected as an entitlement even though it is not and endangers everyone.
It's a ponzi scheme. It's fueled by investor inflow which is why they can overpay for so many cars.

Carvana is controlled by a felon with +25-years experience running similar cons. Ernie Garcia II is the smartest guy in the room.

That's awesome, there are some great plug-ins out there. What kind of real-world range are you getting on EV-only?

In California, I think you are legally required to give space to lane splitters.
Have you tried adjusting the AC away from the screen? It’s the same as my 2020 Model 3. You pull up the AC screen and can slide the direction of your air flow with your finger.
I had the opposite situation where Tesla’s trade in offer was $12K more than CarMax and $19K more than Carvana. This was for a 2019 Model X. The valuations seem to be all over the place for the X.
Took delivery today,
Interior, one usbc is loose and not charging [ so far from my examination
Exterior, alignment is good, gaps is not bad, but still an issue, my biggest concern was the rear bumper was in a different shade of white other than the car it is self, they wrote dow and will take of later with my other stuff in an appointment.
Could not links my garage door, it does link but not working after set up
Car has significant improvements from my 2018 x , , phone connection, quietness, and big improvements in suspension, yoke not bad to adapt, but need to be careful if u need to d a sunder movement, signal arrow, was very quick to adapt , will keep updating

Hi, I’m a Red MX LR, original 6 seater, black interior, Feb 2021 order.
New EDD now June 3 - June 24 after the BS Dec - Apr ‘23 update earlier last week.
The lane splitting laws are very vague in California (the only state to legalize lane splitting). It is not legal to intentionally impede a motorcycle that is lane splitting, however a motorcycle is also not supposed to pass any faster than 10 mph beyond the vehicle they are passing. There are many other restrictions and limitations that are rarely adhered to by motorcyclists and there is much road rage related to the practice.
The bigger problem with lane splitting relative to Tesla drivers is using TACC, which does not recognize, understand or compensate for lane splitters. One of the absolutely best features of the Tesla driving experience is TACC. Sad to think that we could be forced to give up TACC because motorcyclists force us to make way for them as they weave dangerously between cars speeding down the freeways and highways.

Another data point. My Plaid order had been holding steady at October 22 since I placed it but overnight now changed to July 9 to September 3.
Yes. With my new CCS Adapter from South Korea, and my new Plaid, I charged at about 160kw at a 350kw EA station in Burbank yesterday. Slower than V3's, but great option to have if you need them.
FWIW, my Tesla offer on my 2018 100D was way higher than Carvana and a smidge higher than Carmax.
We got about 34 miles. Note that this is software limited for US version as European version gets 50+ miles. It’s more than we need to do kiddos drop off/pickup and errands.
I honestly do feel bad for all of you who ordered long before me and are still waiting.
I was just assigned a VIN with next week delivery estimate.
VIN 3444##
BTW...after the December-apr 23 edd, it was changed to end of July to September.
Just another proof that those EDD are absolutely meaningless so all of you should stop freaking out or get too excited till you actually get a VIN
