    Smart summon accident and liability

    Sorry this happened! Also, why do I find it funny that it hit a tree and your s/n is terraform... if only you could've terraformed the tree out of the way!

    Plaid Wrap

    Yep, I second this.. you might not have as many selections but at least it'll have some kind of protective qualities. Look into STEK PPF wraps... they've got multiple color selections. I almost went with the blue DynoChrome PPF but then the Ultra Red color came out.

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    He charged me $6250 total which includes the tint.. the shop PPFed everything including the lights and handles, lol. I contemplated just doing the front but from the battle scars my previous car sustained at my work's tight parking structure, I just opted to do the full car. It's also nice not...

    Just got her back from the shop and they did an incredible job. Thought I’d post a picture of how it looks with tint. Full body PPF using STEK Dynoshield Llumar IRX 15% on all windows and rear windshield Llumar IRX 50% on front windshield Llumar Air 80 on glass roof Shop owner said he does...

    Plaid Regrets?

    My first time owning a Plaid and I came from a 2018 100D... I don't think I can get used to this acceleration. The 0-60 is obviously incredible, but the pull after that is what's mindblowing to me.. I felt just how insane this car's power is a couple of days ago when a car blatantly cut me off...

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Good to know you pulled the trigger :) I put llumar air 80 on the glass roof but man I'm still feeling the warmth out here in SoCal. I'm a little worried for when we start hitting close to 100s..

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Just to update: I got my car back from the SC and they did somewhat of an adjustment.. it's not perfect but I think it is better than what it was originally. All in all, the adjustment took about 4-5 hours, but I'm sure not all of that was spent on the car. Luckily, it doesn't look like...

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Picked up my car yesterday and I really love the color. Unfortunately mine has a liftgate panel alignment issue and per SC Tech, it will need to be taken to a body shop since they have to break (?) the glass to adjust it. I currently have it at the PPF shop to get the front end PPF and window...

    POLL: vibration felt when slightly accelerating refresh Mode S Plaid or LR

    Picked up my car yesterday and I can feel Go Pedal vibration between 30-45 mph. Currently in shop but I'll check on it some more once I get it back.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I’m currently here at the Buena Park SC and was told the same situation as @HAJM .. I cannot open the car or assess the inside. I can’t even open the trunk or trunk, but here’s the issue — my hatchback is definitely misaligned. The Tech came out and confirmed that it is not within that’s a big...

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    I actually received my VIN last night but my EDD has not updated and have not received any scheduling text just yet. Maybe it's because they refuse to answer my question as to why they're charging me full price for the Ultra Red when I ordered it while it was still the Multi Coat Red, lol.

    Hope so! Still haven't gotten a new VIN since refusing the first one :(

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Yep, 2 hours before I was supposed to pick up the car they called me and told me there was a scratch on the bumper and they had to replace it. They tried to reschedule it for one week out but I told them I’m refusing that VIN. I never actually saw the car, for all I know it might’ve had near...

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Nvm, got a call that there was a "scratch on the bumper" so they need to move it back a full week since the whole bumper needed to be replaced. I told them I do not want that vehicle and I'll just wait for the next car. VIN# 510491

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    I called the SC to move the pick up date to today instead of Easter Sunday and they happily obliged. I'm fully expecting gaps and cosmetic issues, but hopefully it won't be too obvious!

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    You should be able to bring a cashier's check... I wouldn't pay online now especially if you aren't happy with what you see during delivery.

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Got my VIN last night and is scheduled for pick up on Easter Sunday :) The $5k price reduction never showed up on my MVPA but since my loan offer expired today, I had to resubmit and it showed the lower price so it worked out. I tried to drop by the SC today but they didn't have my car on the lot.

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    MS Plaid, white interior, 19" wheels, and yoke steering. I kept the basic autopilot as I would much rather subscribe than pay the $15k upfront. Maybe it's because I am in the LA area and it might be based on location and cars available... oh well!

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    No VIN still.. my EDD just keeps changing. I’m currently at 4/4 - 4/24. My loan offer expires tomorrow and it’s now at a slightly higher rate.. order date was 2/5.

    Thanks for the awesome comparison shot! I'm still waiting for a VIN but glad to see the MS URs are starting to get delivered.. so excited to get mine 😊

    Got a call from Buena Park SC if I wanted a white/black, 21" wheels, MSP and I kindly declined. Some of the SoCal folks with that kind of build might get a call as well :)

    Model S Ultra Red Waiting Room

    Hopefully this is the case! Really excited for this new red :) I know Tesla's track record for quality is terrible... but has there been correlation between really bad QC during EOQ pushes? My previous S was a May 2018 build and I had zero issues with it prior to selling except for the charge...

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    I don't think I'd be comfortable with anything fully hands-free from any brand anytime soon... I was simply stating that the driver assist that Tesla has is pretty amazing for short/long drives and isn't limited to select highways. The car works well for town/work driving and cross-country...

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    You wouldn't know what it feels like unless you've actually tried distance driving in it.. the Turo advice should come in handy. Personally, I dread the thought of driving anything 100+ miles without Autopilot.. I've been in my friend's BMW X3M Competition, and that thing yelled at him the...

    How to get trade-in quote via the app?

    It was part of the to-do list when I ordered the new car. I'm not sure how it the trade-in quotes work if it wasn't bundled into a new car order.

    How to get trade-in quote via the app?

    I went through this process when I placed a new order for 23' MSP. I submitted pictures through the app and waited about a week for them to generate the actual quote, which I was able to view on the Tesla app. The actual quote they gave me was lower than the range they initially provided and I...

    I'm in the same boat and they sent me an e-mail that it has been upgraded to the new Ultra Red color free of charge.

    New S/X sunroof- 5x more light in

    It's not so much the heat of the car when I get in it.... it's the radiating heat that I feel while driving from the sunroof. After I added clear ceramic tint, the heat pretty much disappeared. FWIW, my daily commute is 2-3 hours a daily.. so it's not like a quick 15 minute drive home from work.

    Maybe I’m just really sleepy but the color of my red Model S looks much deeper on the order page (& Tesla app) compared to a few days ago, lol. Almost like the midnight cherry color.. yeah, I must be dreaming.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yeah, I'm having a hard time seeing it as well. Unless the gaps are glaring at me or this is some show car, there's better things to worry about. Besides, it's easy to forget things with the headrush it gives while driving it. But that's just me and to each their own :)

    Is Discount Tire warranty worth the cost?

    DT warranty has come in handy for me on multiple occasions. Considering the cost of the tires and me driving through LA daily... it's worth it for me.

    New M3P Owner Questions and disappointment

    I paid for FSD on my previous MS and even got the beta FSD software, but it is not worth it. I just ordered a new MS and have no plans of paying for EAP or FSD... At least not at it's current state. I'll wait a little longer and just subscribe if it becomes more usable. Basic Autopilot is great...

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    In my previous Model S, I bought the FSD when it was only $3k and it took forever to get the “beta” before it released to the public. I regret that purchase and wish I had just subscribed instead. Is there a difference in versions for the paid FSD vs subscription-based FSD?
