Congrats! It looks great! Super excited to see other silver cars. I know they are the least desirable choice.

By far the least desirable, and I’m not sure why.
Congrats to you! A lot has changed in the past 9 days!

I don't have a 3 yet, but surprised no one else has asked, what is the "factory installed screen protector". I've seen other threads that people say there is a film on it that needs to be removed. I've seen many screens and plastic items come with a film cover on them that need to be removed. Is it truly noted as a protective covering of some sort, or is it a film that truly should be removed? Just curious.

My understanding is they intended for it to be a temporary screen protector to last the duration of assembly/shipping/delivery and that it would be removed once the car was delivered. Mine started to bubble up within 24 hours of having the card and using the screen. I installed a matte protector from Abstract Ocean.
Finally picked up my Model 3 this past Tuesday. It looks better than even in pics. Haven't had much time in it but it's so far pretty good. Just had Xpel PPF and tint installed.
It's been a few days but I've had some minor issues with the car.
1. Can't get the neighborhood main gate opener to program in the 3. My home garage programmed just fine. I never had issues programming the main gate remote with the S or X.
2. Installing a baby car seat in the rear is causing a unlocked seat warning to appear. Even if its only the base, which weighs just a few pounds, its enough to trigger that warning. I just leave the seat uninstalled and on the floor unless I'm taking our kid in the car. Never had this issue with the S or X.
3. Fit and finish. Overall its pretty decent. One issue I have, and I've seen it on some youtube videos, is that the interior trim on the A pillor of the driver side bows out a little in the middle and isn't flush. It's obvious because the windshield has a black thick line on the edge and you can see the trim bulging out because the thickness in the black line changes. Had multiple fit and finish issues in my X and S, but the 3 seems better. Not where it should be compared to other manufacturers though, but still an improvement.

yes, I would think so...look out for a incoming call from Vegas this week. Good luck!
17 days to VIN and another 23 days to delivery. Very close to 6 weeks total. I think it was 2 days from VIN to phone call.
Congrats! That’s curious. I guess you are using LATCH and it thinks you should be engaging the seatbelt? Are you using LATCH in the center seat?

Using the LATCH on rear passenger side seat. That's also the seat I'm getting the warning about. Kind of annoying but not too difficult to deal with.

Maybe you could get a seat belt latch to put into the seat belt to make the car think that the seatbelt is fastened. We have one for our dog that wasn't that pricey.
