My new car has arrived!

[Nick1994]

Well, here we are, my 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus has arrived. My original reservation was for it to be delivered in roughly late October but Tesla had some in stock become available that I was able to scoop up. I've played with it a little bit and so far it has been a blast. Acceleration is incredible and the car seems really well sorted.

This one doesn't have a lithium-ion battery, it's the first batch of the ones with the new LFP Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. 10 less miles of range (253mi) but I can regularly charge to 100% without worrying about the battery's health. Speaking of charging, I'll primarily be charging for free at work. In Arizona we get alternative fuel vehicle license plates and I can also use the HOV lane.

Next week it goes for ceramic tint and a clear bra.

Oh snap! Not what I was expecting. Congrats.

Lower it and throw on some gold or bronze BBS forged wheels. It'll offset the blue nicely and reduce sprung weight.

well, i'm not sure you belong on the oil forum now....joking of course, congratulations on the car. I have a feeling my next car will be full electric

I've had exactly the same car for a month. I like it a lot.

I've been considering getting clear paint film and ceramic coating too but it's very expensive.

I took off the aero wheel covers and put Tesla wheel centers on the alloy wheels underneath. I'm charging it at home using a 40 Amp 220 Volt outlet and the provided charging cable.

Is yours blue too?

I got center caps and lug nut covers too, but I’m not sure I’ll put them on. I’m starting to like the aero caps.

I didn't realize those were wheel covers, I thought they were just the base wheels. What's under them?

Here's a picture from Tesla's site, I like it as well.

Those wheels are under the wheel covers? gtfo!

 

[Skippy722]

Very nice! Nice tint on that and it’ll look real good.

No kidding. Take those wheel covers out in the desert and use them for target practice!

Didn't see that coming Nick, should be a blast!

Congratulations! Beautiful ride!

Nice Car! First thing I would do is take the wheel covers off.

 

[supton]

Congratulations!
I would have liked to have seen about 87 pages on this before the purchase.

Now I have reservations about all of this ☺
