I'm 40 and my wife is 38. We just have two teenage boys driving. One day my policy will be cheaper. One day...

Yes, they both have their own vehicle and their names are tied to their own vehicle on the policy. The insurance agencies just said since they have access to the vehicle, they have to take it into consideration.

Hello all, Most of you don't know me since I stopped posting here shortly after I received my vehicle about a month ago. I want to stop in and give a few bits of info for those waiting on their cars. Don't trust the mileage estimates. These are generally wrong. I just switched mine to...

Wow! Making me second-guess my MSM. That looks great.

Sorry about your experience. I'm the kind of person who would wait until the driver of that car came back and confronted them. They need to be reminded being a dick has real world consequences.

Hi AMV_. It may be better to ask in the thread here since the Performance model generally delivers faster than the Long Range.

Happy you finally got your car and happy you found the imperfection right away. They should take care of it for you. My turnaround for the two paint issues I had was like 3 days since they had an external body shop working on it.

I see your schwartz is as big as mine.

Anyone know when us new car owners will get games like Cuphead, Sonic, Cat Quest, etc.? I understand why they may not have included these as the USB-C ports in the center console no longer transmit data. However, resourceful owners like myself have bought USB hubs for the glovebox and want to...

That is correct. No repainting needed.

I finally picked the car back up today. It looks great after PPF, tint and the wet sanding in a couple places. The body shop was able to take out the small imperfections in the paint and I'm really happy with the results. I will have to take the car back to the PPF guy on the 8th to finish the...

I asked my PPF guy to leave all the badges off after he told me he removed them for the wrap. Turns out, he forgot we had the conversation and reinstalled the T's. I asked him about the dual motor and he doesn't even touch those. He just cuts an area out around it. He said the letters are...

The full car is $5k, but he also offered just front areas for about $2k.

I know you got the short end of the stick with the ECU issue. If it makes you feel any better, I've not had my car since picking it up on the 15th due to wrapping, tinting and paint issues. I'm supposed to be picking up tomorrow, though. It will be exactly 100 days for me from order to actually...

I'm not sure as I have not really driven my car yet, but I swapped it for a 1Tb SSD as soon as I picked it up.

It does come with a 128Gb Tesla-branded stick for sentry.

That black looks so good clean. I just hate it when it gets dirty.

Sounds like you got the wrong person. Call the national phone number and get someone else. Explain you've patiently waited for the car this entire time, but the offered days do not work for you. See what they say.

That's interesting since I've seen reports the auto market is crashing. Used car values should be dropping. I would suggest anyone getting a good buy offer go ahead and take it. Work out some kind of transportation until you get your car. Just keep in mind Tesla's estimated delivery can and will...

My MX-5 is red and it's the most stunning factory color I've ever seen. I went with MSM because I see the M3 body as pretty conservative in comparison.

I'm not an electrician, but according to the research I did prior to the wall charger being installed, 80% capacity on the circuit should be fine continuously. So, your 30A circuit should be fine running at 24A charging the car. When I looked into installing a 30A circuit for the NEMA 14-50, it...

Another update on paint issues with my car: My PPF guy found numerous "dimples" in the paint on the driver rear door, so he didn't wrap that one either. I spoke with my Tesla service center and they just asked I send them pictures or a video and gave me an email. I sent them what my PPF guy...

If you trade in your wife, there is a lot of depreciation. It's cheaper to keep her. Edit: My wife knows I buy new cars all the time. She asks why I have not gotten tired of her and found another woman yet. I tell her the cars are a lot cheaper than getting another wife.

At this point, I would ask the service center what they are going to do to make up for this fiasco. You know Tesla screwed up. They know Tesla screwed up. It may be out of their hands, but they still have things to offer disgruntled customers. Maybe you don't have a wall charger yet? Edit...

It looks like my car! I'm so happy for you (and a little jealous since I'll be waiting a while to get mine back). Enjoy every second.

You deserve it! Here's to a perfect car. Enjoy the ride.

So, my PPF guy said there is no way he can get out that hair/fiber. It's not large, but it's also black and sticks out like a sore thumb on my driver's side door. I called the service center and got someone on the line. Fortunately, they didn't give me a hard time about it at all since it's...

I've picked up my car and checked my app for a date a couple times before I got it through my thick skull there's no longer a need.

Mine was missing and I took delivery of my car yesterday.

GA registration renewal is $200 for EVs instead of $20 for an ICE vehicle.

One other thing I forgot: There were already lines under the rear seat belts on the white seats. They must have been rubbing during travel. I had baby wipes with me, but again, I was hot and ready to get going. I'll attempt to buff the seats with the baby wipes when I get it back. If it...

It looks nicer in person than I thought it would look. The Tesla look has kind of grown on me. It wasn't the vehicle that got me interested in EVs to begin. What octane did you put in? I heard it runs horribly on everything.

I literally drove it 35-45 mph a little over a mile away to the PPF shop and parked it there. I didn't even gun it once. You can't miss what you haven't experienced. I'll not get the car back from the two shops for another week and a half.

So, I did take delivery today. I apologize for no photos yet. It was stupid hot and muggy. By the time I got done with the exterior inspection, I just wanted to get out of there. There were two minor issues and two more major issues (still nothing terrible). The lights in both front and back...

It's pretty obvious the car is missing the charge port ECU.

I hope to be graduating today from M3PFOWCC when I take delivery of my car. If anyone wants to take over tracking the remaining members with orders from February, please have at it. I thought it was a fun/funny idea and helped bring perspective to the March and later orders that there is...

I apologize for misunderstanding the intent of the question. I hope Tony gave a better answer.

Let me rephrase since there are technically model years on the cars. What I mean is Tesla does not wait for a new model year for major upgrades. They just start rolling them out once they get them. This could happen in October or November, or it could happen in July. Having a newer model year...

Tesla doesn't have model years. They just change parts whenever it makes sense to do so. Generally, it's best to order the vehicle when you are prepared to purchase one and reject the vehicle if it is missing a new, major feature. With that in mind, there will always be something new and better...

This is what the holding pattern looks like when the system thinks the center has the car and they need to schedule delivery. I would call or email them.

He only offers the clear. I'm not sure why. I'm fine with it since I like the shades of blue in the MSM depending on light. That seems to get masked with the stealth wraps.

I went with Delta Community Credit Union that is offering 1.38% for 60 months through the end of May for well-qualified members.

I'm wrapping the entire vehicle for $5k, but they did offer a front-only option that was very affordable at around $2200. It covered all the areas you mentioned, including side mirrors.

Updated! A few of us, (including myself), are picking up our cars this weekend or early next week. We'll need a new president of the club. BILDCAT seems like a shoe-in with his rediculous EDD, but he's also in CA so Elon could pull up in his driveway with the car at any moment without notice...

I fall into this category. The credit union was hesitant to give me money. Not because I don't have good credit or debt to income, but because I've never financed over $30k for a vehicle. I can justify another $5k for ppf on a $60k+ vehicle where I never would have for a $30k vehicle. I'm...

Everything looks normal to me. Maybe a transportation delay. Edit: You can always call your delivery center and ask them why it keeps being pushed back a day. Maybe they will tell you the truth. Maybe not. You can also specifically ask if your car is affected by the missing charging port ECU,

Hey February orders, remember this?

I just received the delivery confirmation phone call from the Roswell Tesla Center. I am still scheduled for pickup on Sunday at 4pm. He went over the account and what was still needed. We verified I had cashiers checks for both the loan and down payment. He then went over what to expect from...

I'm picking up in Atlanta. They had told me my car was not even there yet as of Friday, May 6 and it had a born date of April 18th. It's certainly possible your car is still traveling considering some other stories here.

I really do feel bad you have to go through this. Having something delayed is one thing. Not being provided the reason is another. Hopefully, what the national rep said is true and you just got the short end of the stick with travel and logistics. It is weird that someone else with the same...
