    Factory Tour at Fremont Model 3 pickup?

    I can concur that they don't offer the factory tours as part of the pickup of your Model 3. I pick my Model 3 up tomorrow and asked that question yesterday that if I want the factory tour, I would need to schedule it 3 to 4 weeks in advance. This was not the case when I picked up my Model S.

    Opti Coat on top of Paint Protective Film?

    GasDoc, I had this done with Joe. Opti-Coat on paint, then Xpel ultimate then Opti-Coat on top of that. The Opti-Coat on top of the film is to make it easier for washing, etc. I hand wash my car every couple of weeks and the water slips right off.... Lance

    Need recommendation for an XPEL installer in the SF Bay Area

    I've used Greg with Premier for my Photosync tint and used Joe at Orinda Auto Detail for the Opti-Coat and Xpel. Both did a great job. Each has it strengths. Premier with the Photosync is top notch and will use them for the Escort install once the Tesla Center Console comes in. Joe at...

    Wheel Alignment Check in the Bay Area

    I'm just hitting 2500 miles with my P85+ which I picked up on 12/9. I am concerned about the excessive tire wear caused by alignment issues. Can someone recommend where I should take it for this service in the Bay Area and approximately how much does it cost? Also, since its being checked...

    Fremont, CA: Anyone have an Opti-coat recommendation near factory?

    Rownolds, I did exactly the same thing that you did. I picked up my black P85+ on 12/9 from the factory and drove it straight to Joe at Orinda Auto Detail. I had the Opti-Coat, Xpel, Alloy Gator Install and the Opti-Coat interior done. I don't regret it as the car looks great. Joe...

    Recommendation for service providers in the Peninsula?

    Yes, I second Joe at Orinda Auto Detail. I got my P85+ on Monday 12/9 and drove it that day to Joe. He worked on it for 5 days. He opticoated it, apply Xpel Ultimate, opticoated that, applied the Alloy Gators and also optiguarded the interior. He does fantastic work and is a stickler for...

    Red Brake Calipers

    Today, I picked up from the Fremont Factory, my P85+ with the Red Caliper option added last month....IMO, they look great and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The contrast between the Black body, the 21" Grey Turbines and the Red Calipers is striking. My wife drove the car back from the...

    The Tesla Factory is now building your Model S....what are the process stages ?

    I logged into my dashboard today and saw that the status changed from "Sourcing Parts"...to now, The Tesla Factory is now building your Model S. This seems strange as my delivery date isn't until 12/9, almost 40 days from now. So, a couple of questions: 1. Is the factory really building...

    Getting HOV stickers ahead of time in California

    They probably would but I'm banking that they would take their sweet time and if I send it in now, by the time that they process, the VINs should match as long as I process immediately after I get the plates. I guess the way that I would need to do it is give it a couple of more weeks and then...

    Getting HOV stickers ahead of time in California

    I currently have a Honda Civic CNG with the HOV stickers and love the fact that I save huge amounts of time driving in the morning. As such, I will not drive my new P85+ to work without the HOV stickers. I take possession of my new P85+ on December 9th. Here's my question: I plan on taking...

    Did You Upgrade Your Model S during the Waiting Period?

    After reading all of the posts from Regular S to P to P+, it took me a week to go from Regular S to P+. I placed my online deposit a Regular S on Monday, 10/7 and for that full week, agonized what to do....to P or not to P....to P+ or not to P+. Yesterday, Monday, 10/14, I reconfigured my...
