Wheel gap by my eye is notably better. The angle of my phone is definitely adding to perception of gap here (I'm crouched low to the ground and shooting upward). If the rain relents I can snap a few more photos. Using the old super scientific import car guy measurement of "fingers" to...

Wanted to take close up pictures of the wheels, but soon after this photo was taken it started raining. Got custom powder coated Unplugged Performance UP-02 20" installed along with UP's moderate lowering springs. The ride quality on the springs is excellent, and so far, clearance hasn't been...

Just installed 48.1 too, nothing else to pointout that gymshoe hasn't already.

Got the wrap, chrome delete, and ceramic coating at Unplugged Performance. I got quotes from 5, 6 places throughout LA/OC, UP ended up on the higher end of the quotes, but I felt most at ease in my conversations w/ their staff in terms of answering my questions, timeliness of responses, plus...

Nailed it. I live a little further down the coast but was at the Redondo farmer's market that morning and bounced over to snap a few pics. :)

Recently got my Performance Model 3 back from getting wrapped, ceramic coated, and chrome delete. Love how it looks and have gotten a grip of compliments from folks passing by in parking lots, drive throughs, and such.

Sucks to have to work around all these types of issues. Even more grating as a software engineer-- while I can empathize with the challenges of shipping software, the constant 2 steps forward, 1.5 steps backward patterns we're seeing w/ media playback to me illustrate a distinct lack of effort...

800s VIN that took delivery back in very end of Feb 2016, had always had auto-present doors turned off. Just simply didn't trust them or want the feature. With this newest firmware, tried to live with "automatic doors" as I use my key fob to get in and out ALL the time. After two weeks...

Not all firmware updates have caused me this headache, but the fact that it happens at all is frustrating for sure. It's somewhat wasteful space wise, but I may just have to adopt your strategy of having a folder with copies of files stored in it that I want to mark as favorites. Anyone know...

For the second time in the last ~3 or so months, I find myself sitting in my car, re-selecting favorite songs off of my USB drive, where I store a few thousand tracks, sorted in folders by Artist. Wondering if there is something peculiar that I'm doing or if others have encountered this as...

232 on a P90D.

I have seen this happen twice w/ mine. Both times no key on me or my wife when the mirrors articulated out and back in. I've one instance of the right falcon wing door seemingly opening by itself-- fob was in my pocket, so MAYBE it was an accidental click, but an accidental double click seems...

Third Row Seat Control Really sad there isn't a button to pop the 3rd row seats back up from the rear gate. You can pop the button on the seats to send them forward, but best I can tell, those same buttons are the only way to bring the seats back upright....meaning I have to go through the...

During my pick up, I was allowed to check out an X that was being prepped that had the black leather, while mine had the white. The white seats are definitely softer. I wouldn't say that the black seats weren't comfortable, but the suppleness of the white seats feel like I am being hugged. :P...

Previous vehicle was an Audi Q5 with their upgraded audio system built by Bang and Olufsen. On the whole, I'd say the Tesla UHF sound system is superior for my tastes. I don't fancy myself an audiophile, but I did work for a decade as a nightclub DJ and have fairly eclectic and wide ranging...

My DS in Southern CA actually advised me to leave the auto present doors disabled for now, that if it were his car, it just wasn't worth the risk of it doing something inadvertent/unintentional right now. Be it an incorrect sensor read, it hitting something or someone, or going possessed and...

Took delivery yesterday morning, first Tesla, so inexperienced w/ Tesla's cadence on software updates. Based just on this thread, it seems like there are lots of firmwares out in the wild at any point in time. FWIW, I just got prompted to upgrade tonight, and did so, and ended up on 7.1...

Sweet, XM option present. My trunk looks totally different from the picture above though, my trunk bottom is fully carpeted vs the rubber lining. Guess that's something they're iterating on still.

Strange question, but what could I visually look for to confirm that my P90 actually has the upgraded sound system? I ordered it, stuff generally sounds good, but, yeah, I legit don't know what to look for as a visual confirmation. (I took delivery this morning). Slipped my mind to ask the DS...

Took delivery of my P90D this morning, vin in the 830s at the Culver City service center in Southern CA. While I was there, there were two carrier trucks, each w/ 6 Model Xs of multiple colors and wheel choices. One was clearly a signature as it was Sig Red. The ramp up is real, and seems to...

Agreed on the communication around production ramp up, delivery timetable, etc. haven't been great (though very noticeably better in the last couple weeks). Don't agree on this sentiment though. Order of deposits correlated into access to the design studio and the ability to place an actual...

Same email. Mine is worded as "Your Model X is built and will be delivered to you this month." MyTesla shows March 12-26 as a delivery window, DS is telling me a similar range as well. CA based, VIN in the 830s.

I thought the same regarding bioweapon defense mode. Then came the product announcement for China and it was immediately "Oh. Ohhhhhhhhh. Gotcha."

All the back and forth reaffirms my belief really. There is no one single car that is going to tick all the boxes. It just isn't feasible. There's tons of things about a car that makes them mutually exclusive for whether it works for you or not. Seating. Cargo. ICE vs electric...

I'm confirmed P90D and have concerns around reliability of the falcon wing doors and auto present doors over the long haul. I'll agree w/ the sentiment that there are things that feel far too over engineered. But auto purchasing is in many ways so clearly subjective. Some of the precise...

How do you check your estimated delivery date, even though it'll require a massive grain of salt?

Oh oops, neglected to mention that.. yep, Autopilot was one of the options I ticked. I basically ordered everything but Ludicrous, the towing package, and 72A charging.

Tesla's reservation and VIN assignment is baffling. I confirmed a week after you and I have a (very) slightly lower VIN number assigned.

I'll assume you checked already today? You and I confirmed on the same day and I got my VIN as of last night / this morning. Based on the signature, we have very similar builds.

Got my VIN last night in the mid 800s. No estimated delivery date shown on the page. As an aside, I've yet to hear from DS even once--which isn't too surprising. I'll assume that I'll hear from him once things get more tangible. I'm in no hurry, so I'm not sweating it just yet.

Reserved in September '15. Invited January 11, 2016 Confirmed January 20, 2016 Got an 800s VIN last night. P90D, Midnight Silver, 20" silver wheels, Premium, Winter Package One more data point for folks trying to analyze their own situations... Good luck out there everyone!

Yeah, to clarify, I intend to possibly do some rate shopping on my own from local credit unions. The buyback is a nice enticement to finance via Tesla, but at the same time, given the size of this purchase, I'm loathe to think I'd want to get rid of it 3 years in. If that were the case, I...

Long time lurker on the forums but with the mass of invitations to configure that went out today, I find myself surprisingly in the position to move forward with my order now. One thing that I'm a little confused about though is how folks are approaching financing. I'll likely consider...
