Took Delivery on Sunday!

SP259 | 2026-02-25 19:26 | 97 views

Loving the new Whip, 23k miles $25K RWD 2023. (manufactured in November 2023) So more than likely near the end of production for this model. Sadly, less than 24 hours after taking delivery, while I was taking my S.O to the train station early morning, someone broke off and destroyed the Charge port Door. :( Nicely, The service center fixed it up for me for free! So now the car is PERFECT once more! Loving the Car, I got some Laser-fit floor mats on the way and I installed a new tempered glass screen protector, am planning to put some mudflaps on as well when the weather warms up.

Congrats! Welcome to the Tesla family. Sorry you had your charge port door broken, glad the service center fixed it up for you! Keep Sentry mode enabled for all of the crazies.

Congrats, be careful with mudflaps they can cause more damage as most trap grit and dirt behind them cause rust.

Those style rims can only work with that color in my opinion. That is a beautiful white Tesla

Just ordered my 23' M3 on Sunday. App said estimated delivery time 1 week. Just curious how long did you wait for delivery?

SP259 2026-02-25 20:45

1 week, I had to pay for shipping, so ETA was 1-2 Weeks. You can call the customer service, and they might be able to give a more accurate ETA as they can look it up in their system. I could have taken delivery on a Friday but waited for Sunday due to other complications with my older car. Delivery is dead simple, talk to the guy, sign some stuff, Inspect the car, sign some more stuff and then use the app and drive away.

Ah right on, thanks! Enjoy the new car!

I Know!!!, I loved the rims on the Images when I was browsing. They apparently affect the range a bit. I have to get some Silver touch up paint for them as the previous Leaser hit the curb a few times.

Hmm first I’ve heard about this. Is there a way to prevent this?

Behind the mudflap?

Congratulations!

Where it makes contact with the body of the car.

White is the absence of color which is the best...color. I'm looking for one, and it has to be white - has to be.

Crawdaddy-MktgGenius 2026-02-26 23:37

Yep, I bought a little roll of clear PPF for mud flap mounting. Headrest pillows another must. $25/pair on AliExpress.
