SPOILER ALERT: My P3D came with its spoiler

[JeffK]

Sorry if already covered elsewhere, but will Tesla eventually sell the spoiler, or are they just for P? I have a P (non-PUP) so curious if they will let me buy one.

I hope not... that'd really spoil the performance exclusivity. Although since you have a P non-pup that makes it a gray area.

You can always buy aftermarket spoilers though.

Yeah agreed. I wouldn’t be upset if they just limited it to PUP, but I do like how they look. Yes I’ll go after Market if they don’t. Thanks.

How is this a bad thing exactly? They said January timeframe, they've already started installing badging if you want it, and now they're clearly installing spoilers. What's the issue?

I was not given a time frame January. I would think that Tesla would take care of those that helped early sales by spending 5K extra and provide them with a badge and spoiler first. My mistake.

Probably makes more sense to put them on the new deliveries to avoid having those customers come back at a later date to get it installed. But I get that it’s a nothing to all of you who have waited so long.

Meant annoying. Damn auto-correct.

More insult to injury for those that paid an extra 5k, waited months, and still don't have a badge, spoiler or any contact from the service center (which already has it on order).

So...do you really think that post was uplifting to us? You are a Debbie downer. lol

 

[lotusland]

Shouldn't there be a "Model 3" badge on there as well? I don't have any badges and don't really want any, but I swear I have seen the Model 3 badge somewhere.

There’s a P3D+ from T-Sportline (I think), but not from Tesla. AFAIK.

I'm sure it will be available separately at some point. The Model S CF spoiler is available for $5k.

Abstract Ocean sells them.

Read my sig... I am one of those that have been waiting and paid 5k extra. Just stating facts. It would have been nice if Tesla considered it's loyal early customers how this experience of customer service would be.

 

[Hurricane350]

Yup.

Just a couple minor scratches on the trunk that can easily be buffed out. Otherwise, the car is damn near perfect.

Do it. You might see Elon!

How many miles was your car sold with?
Mine had 1780
Did you get a discount and if so, how much?
I got 4760 off

 

[boriszima]

Congrats on awesome car and saving some money on demo!

So to "reward" your loyalty (they gave you the car you paid for), you want them to not put spoilers on any cars until you have yours, even if that means having to bring cars back into already overbooked service stations to get it stuck on for brand new cars being rolled off the assembly line. That's insane. Why would they waste that amount of time and effort?

If you're so salty over the $5k "extra" you paid, you can always ask them for a refund and then sell off your suspension parts and wheels. You could probably recover most of that money, but it won't make you happy.

Who said January timeframe? Service center employees told me explicitly they were not supposed to mention anything or speculate on dates with customers.

Mine was installed, mobile tech to my office, a week before the holidays (badge, not spoiler)

There should be another thread opened - titled - " How to make other Tesla model 3 owners jealous".

 

[Lifeinabox]

Not to sound ungrateful to my buddy Elon, but I could do without the Dual Motor badge. I was ready to install Model 3 plus P3D badges and now will have a near complete sentence running across my backside. Prefer a simpler look. Will mull on this some more.

for those who have spoilers or have touched them...

are they REAL carbon fiber or merely plastic facsimile?

has anyone ever painted successfully real carbon fiber?

They did sell it for the S eventually so there's a reasonable chance that it'll be available for the 3 eventually as well.

Model S Carbon Fiber Spoiler

It's real carbon fiber and can be painted just like anything else, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to do that?
