That’s insane progress, congrats!!

I want to get one too. It was out of stock a while ago, then in-stock for a bit (but said it was incompatible with my 2018 M3). Now that I have the 2024, it's out of stock. The page for it does list it as "Compatible with all Model 3 and Model Y vehicles", which makes it weird it said it...

Haha, I'm the last person qualified to do that!

I missed that story. So far, I'd rather have the stalks for both that and turn signals. Hasn't become habit yet so I always have to consciously think about it. At least I'm no longer trying to swipe at a stalk that's not there! Gonna call that progress.

Pretty sure someone posted the answer to that a while ago, it was a no. (No personal knowledge, just remembering a prior post someplace many many pages back).

I didn't even realize the sound, that's a good tip! I'll prob try the feature again, but I get why they added "Beta" to the name.

Word of caution for everyone, I had enabled the auto shift out of park option. It was doing well until the one time I didn't look what it picked, I thought it was an obvious "I wanna go forward", but it thought backwards. Tapped the accelerator and was shocked at the backwards motion. It was...

Spirit twins then! Hah. There was someone else in here whose screen name started with a "J" who I think was Cali I got confused with. There's not a bad color choice in the lineup, they all do look good.

Congrats! I think yours and mine are twins (Red/White) if I remember right? I keep walking out into the garage just to look at it and gawk. Other thing that struck me, opening the door in a dark garage. The interior lights are bright and a crisp shade of light such that the white interior...

15 is just the number they put on paperwork to account for what it *could* have, not what it does. It'll likely be lower when you check. Mine was 2 or 3 I think, paperwork still says 15.

Looks like you're all set for it! I found Chemical Guys brand stuff about 6 yrs ago when I got my previous one, and like their products. I'm nowhere near what people would call a "car guy" so I'm not gonna be as picky as most. But their stuff actually smells delicious going on and not...

Glad you're loving it too! Mine got a 3 hour Spa day of wash, polish, ceramic this morning. Started before direct sunlight heated things up. Ready for a nap and it's only 930am!

It can definitely change. And it almost certainly WILL change as well! But I think general knowledge consensus is that once you get the VIN, you're almost certainly (barring something odd like Transporter damage trashing the car, etc) within the 30 day window. So if you were waiting to apply...

I did it before. I knew me, there would be very little chances of me walking away without the car on delivery day. The experience with the Plaid linking in the app was straightforward, other than it would only connect to a Checkings or Savings account but not a brokerage account. A few other...

Would highly suggest ordering one! Who knows what they will/won't have in stock when you need it. Do you already have a 240V outlet? You'll never keep up with charging the car at 120V normal house plug. I'd also highly suggest getting a wall-mounted one, it's just much easier in the end.

Mine was plugged in to a supercharger behind the center, and it was at 90%, I could've left it easily to get to 100% if I wanted.

If they do indeed have an NDA embargo, I would imagine the NDA likely covers discussing the NDA itself. First rule of fight club: don't talk about flight club logic. ;)

Oh you meant like Youtube influencers, not just us mortals posting stuff. I'd agree with that. It is oddly silent there. Would be surprised if an embargo would last beyond when the common folk start getting deliveries. But, yeah seems to be pretty quiet on the influencer's side, at least for...

It's still a relatively low # of deliveries that happened. One slipped out a few days ago. As far as we know, the first "officially sanctioned" delivery was last night. A handful of people scheduled/originally-scheduled for today got cancelled and moved to Sunday/Monday. There's a small...

I didn't have to with my previous one. But with this one I did. Entering the Service menu, you go into the Settings->Software, then hold the Ludicrous badge for a few seconds and let go. The password is "service" and it gets to service menus. In there there was a Brakes then Burnish Brakes...

I’m going with their lightest color which is 70% transmission. Still rejects 50-60% of heat at that light tint level, if I remember the specs right. Darker tints would reject like 90% heat but I don’t like the dark look, esp at night. So my plan is the best tier tint, in the lightest possible...

I actually just did a run, used the Burnish Brakes guide in the service system. I prob didn’t do it great, couldn’t do it with people following me, jittery up and down on pressure (not a trained foot). But, I did it some and they feel better afterwards. Of course, it could be that they were...

That’s a good price! The place I’m going to is 1000 for all the glass. And they use Xpel now (they used Llumar 6 yrs ago), which is how I picked Xpel this time. They did a great job last time and I’m just gonna trust the installer with a top tier film and trust to their shops brand.

Again prob depends on who you ask. I think there are 3 companies that constantly come up as being at the top of the game (Xpel, Llumar, 3M). I’m sure others, but that’s what my research panned out. Beyond that they seemed similar to me within that class.

I wasn’t jamming my foot on them, so maybe I need to learn to “Brake differently”, like how Steve Jobs told people to hold their iPhones differently with the Antennagate issue lol

I believe the “check website source code” where people learned about the P before it was released did indeed say Ludicrous. But that was internal/hidden on the page as rendered, just a back door hack people figured. I expect they used that as a working name, possibly even intent. But then...

From their website: High-Performance Brakes: Enhanced pedal feel and improved heat management ensure consistent braking at all speeds and across a wider temperature range. No specific mention of the words “track pads” but maybe they are, and not explicitly stated. I’m sure others far more...

Thanks, I’ll have to check that out. In a word I would say I thought they felt “unsafe”. So a break in routine makes sense

In my (completely non expert) opinion, this is absolutely weaker brakes than my 2018 M3 had. I never drove any previous performance versions with the red calipers to have a comparison in mind there. But given how much Tesla is touting the brake strength, let’s say I don’t understand why or how.

I might be confusing terms, but I think Brake Creep was where it imitated an ICE car and started to creep forward. They also used to have setting that effectively either 1. Regen braking to a slow speed, then it kinda coasted and you had to hit the real brake 2. Car auto comes to a full and...

Boo, I'm sorry! Promise it'll be worth it when you get it though :).

That's kinda crazy to me that they'd batch it versus just pushing to all of the M3P's that have been produced (which aren't that many). This is a standard branch build that went out to other parts of the overall Tesla fleet starting 2 days ago. That sucks on the delays, definitely feel for...

Nope not my first Tesla. Agree the regen (one pedal) braking is something I was used to. Although my old one I could set it to "Slow and Roll" or something like that - allow regen to slow it down, but it wouldn't come to a full stop. The new one, no such option. It forced a full stop. And...

Very much a personal choice I think. My preference is the highest grade of tint they make (the Xpel XR Plus is what I'm gonna do), in the lightest possible shade they make (which is a 70% transmittance for visible light). I forget the specifics on the specs, but I wanna say 50-60% heat...

Mesa for me, and for one other guy on here. We were the first 2 at the center. I knew I would be, in that I arrived an hour early. Very smooth process with the Trade in (bunch of AZDOT forms to sign), but they were all pre-filled and was super simple. Using the App to accept the car was...

I drove for a bit but not a ton to be honest. Want to go places, but can't think of anywhere to actually go. I had it on Insane mode from the start and I'm pretty sure it was doing battery stuff because it chewed the battery (started at 90%) really fast! Granted I was hitting it hard. I...

Oh wow I hadn't even noticed that! In Arizona that's what we call "plants" haha. But the car is in perfect shape! Delivery center did a great job getting it all ready and all, super pumped!

Thanks! Surprised they got FSD to work but not Summon (at least basic summon). One seems far harder than the other. But thanks for the confirmation :).

Ok stupid question time…. The new car doesn’t have summon in the app not a setting to enable/configure summon inside the “autopilot” setting which is where google says it should be. I do have FSD, am I missing something? Is it not yet available on the Highlands? FSD works!

It is real!! ❤️❤️❤️

I am a habitually early person! Can confirm our cars in the service area finishing up prep.

Totally get the spaceballs reference, big Mel Brooks fan here. Just feels weird if the badge is Ludicrous but the selection on the screen is Insane. I’d love for them to make the screen say Ludicrous

For a while, people online have called the badge on the back “Ludicrous Badged”. Guess we need to call that “Insane” instead? Sure feels to me that sub-3 second should qualify for Ludicrous naming! If that’s my biggest complaint, I’m gonna be one happy camper.

Not to jinx anything, but I just got a text from Tesla (6am AZ). Was scared as hell to open the message for fear of bad news. “We will be ready for you today” Let’s goooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in the lucky camp too (scheduled for 4 hours from now). Tempted to smash my phone just so I can't hear it ring if it did! Just kidding. I'm hoping today's the day they all start going through!

I'm curious why the delay too. But of course, we both know that Tesla is never ever gonna say. So in that sense (asking a question we don't expect answered), it's semi-rhetorical. I'm just happy there was a confirmed delivery with the new software. At least 2 of us (I think 3) here in AZ...

Agree with you here about individual owners. But it did surprise me too that Tesla themselves didn't just send a signal to all of these M3P's to say "download now!" There's not many of them that even exist, thus server overload could not possibly be a concern. And even if it was, it allows...

I don't believe so.

From his Facebook live, it's 2024.14.8. What people are calling the "Spring Update". (Off the trailer and in the showroom, the two I sat in were a weird branch, 2024.8.200, which was also FSD 11.4.9 (not even 12). Interestingly, per TeslaFi tracking, the first instances it recorded of that...

Congrats on getting the car! An inspiration of hope for the rest of us. Sure you're not Obi-Wan Kenobi?
