Took delivery of a new 2026 Model 3 Performance in Jan 26. Ultra Red with the Black Interior. Amazing automobile. https://preview.redd.it/03pk7m9explg1.jpg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89f59083cc2b319a9e0140ed2c11d16b7f957cf2 https://preview.redd.it/cs1l2m9explg1.jpg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbabeff905af7bc0e4c71d10f9db6278a3bfa323 https://preview.redd.it/gx9lil9explg1.jpg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a143f532ce1d24ca977b62cdbf0d5a356142a019 https://preview.redd.it/ey16kl9explg1.jpg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec3fbf672f10aa030bc562bcf88ce4bcd995f67c

Good color choice!!!

Responsible-Quote318 2026-02-26 02:18

Looks awesome, just got the same one 😊. What % tint did you go with?

Ancient-Sandwich9400 2026-02-26 03:30

Almost my twin, haven’t gotten tint yet. Picked mine up last Wed….first EV and loving it.

Only the White interior missing! Lights up the the 🚘 like a Church! Mine is obviously White inside 🥳

Looks like it has the front camera. Does it also have an indicator stalk? Congrats! Once you start living with it nothing else will compare.

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-26 16:32

Thanks so much! The color changes as the light changes. Intoxicating for sure!

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-26 16:38

Struggled hard with this decision to be honest! My OCD would drive me crazier with white. Congratulations on your M3P!

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-26 16:38

Thank you so much! Our state only allows 35% max all around and no tinting of the front windshield. How about you?

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-26 16:47

Hey Congratulations! Share some pics when you complete delivery. Look forward to seeing the pics!

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-26 16:58

Yes, has front camera and the turn signal stalk, both very welcomed! You are correct, came from a slightly modified 2018 VW Golf R and there is no comparison. This is the best car I have ever owned, and am enjoying FSD.

Responsible-Quote318 2026-02-26 17:35

I’m getting mine tinted next week. In CA only 35% is legal on the front doors, but I’m going to do 20% all around (except windshield of course and roof).

Ita beautifull 🥹

djbriankeith 2026-02-27 04:40

Have the same one, but white interior. You’re going to love it. Congrats!

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-27 15:17

Sounds great! Post some pics so we can check it out. Look forward to it.

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-27 15:18

Thanks so much, appreciate the feedback.

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-27 15:20

Thanks, appreciate the positive feedback. Gets better and better each time I drive it! Really enjoying FSD capability! The subscription cost needs to be lower. Post some pics of your ride for us to look at!

LocalAgent247 2026-02-27 15:22

I was really nervous too but ultimately decided on the white. It’s easy to keep clean.

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-27 16:50

That is good to hear! What are using to clean the seats?

LocalAgent247 2026-02-27 16:52

I haven’t had to clean them yet. It’s only been 10 days and I’m OCD so they haven’t gotten dirty.

Put it in insane mode and forget the rest

As this made the red paint free, qualifying me for the $7500 tax credit. But no regrets though, I use FSD every day. Best car I ever had!

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-28 15:57

Whoa! Very Nice! Like the tint choice very much. I did not purchase FSD as there is too much unknown surrounding what TESLA will do with the subscription down the road. Any PPF on your M3P? Thanks for sharing.

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-28 15:59

Ok, keep us posted on the results of the first clean. Researching this, TESLA does not suggest use of cleaners, just mild soap and water. Look forward to your future post.

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-02-28 15:59

Yes Indeed, Insane mode makes all the noise GO AWAY!

djbriankeith 2026-02-28 23:05

Thanks. Ceramic tint. No PPF. I figured it would be cheaper to just touch up the small scratches and chips later. What made up my mind is when I went to pick up my car from tint/ppf shop. This guy working next door showing off his Model Y w/ 8k worth of matte ppf days earlier, was now showing it completely obliterated by a really bad hail storm from the night prior. Softball size hail, headlights, glass roof, body, looked like it was destroyed w/ a baseball bat. I remember thinking, imagine dropping 8-10k on PPF and your car gets wrecked anyway. That said if I had a color where I would want the matte look that’s prob the route I would go.

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-03-01 01:50

Thanks for sharing the detailed information!! Much success to you on ownership of this great automobile!

djbriankeith 2026-03-01 05:49

You too! Thank you.

LocalAgent247 2026-03-03 21:34

Will do. Tesla has its own cleaners you can buy on the app. I’ll likely order those.

Federal_Invite_4320 2026-03-06 04:51

Whoa! Very Nice. I see you removed the Warp Wheel Aero Covers, have not done that yet as I like the look of the wheels with them installed. Was there much damage to the wheels when you removed them? Scratches?

Responsible-Quote318 2026-03-06 06:50

Yeah it did leave some marks, but the contact points are all plastic and it was just scuffs. You can remove the scuffs with a microfiber, some wheel cleaner, and a bit of elbow grease. Some light polishing compound might even be easier. Use a stiff plastic pry tool and work the outer edge loose, then you can pop them off, but they are TIGHT.
