    Feeling judged...

    like the OP I too have had to deal with some of those comments about the "expense" of my car. Including some initially from my parents who feel that my Tesla will take the place of grandchildren, because im "overburdened" by the cost of my S75d. (which was stated by my mother, who isn't right in...

    XPEL full front question

    have to agree with everyone. paid 1500 for the xpel ultimate wrap (full hood bumper fenders etc) on my week old S only spot you can see the wrap is on the tops of the side mirrors. I plan on ceramic coating the rest of the car in the next two weeks. the xpel wrap is totally worth every penny

    vin number/build question

    greetings everyone, Just made the plunge and bought an 75D. it's already built with a vin of 211099. From the spec sheet it's showing the new back seats so I'm assuming it has the new ap2.1/5 in it but I'm wondering if there is a way to truly tell before the car arrives. thanks for the help!
