I've been seeing a handful of delivery photo and video compilations... it's not helping me hold out!

It's just as well, since I want to see what the actual starting price is for standard range models (and whether there will be any battery life improvements between then and now). I suspect sales will go on a hockey stick trajectory once you aren't paying a minimum $53K.

Try having everything finalized for a week now and just waiting on a delivery date. With school and work quarantines going on here, I'm stuck out bored out of my mind, hitting the refresh button every 10 minutes. Is ironic that I would consider going out and getting it, but not dare stepping foot in work or other public spaces :)

Just think of it as having a way to travel places while minimizing contact with others!

(Also, I can't help but think that the Model X buyers who got the "bioweapon defense mode" are laughing loudly these days.)

I would seriously contemplate doing the entire transaction using summon. Have the car come to me, I put the check and send it back. I do like the idea of not having to interact with people once I get it since i can charge out home.

I'm actually really liking the white paint with black rims:

Picked it up this morning. Guess it was the third one delivered in Georgia at this point.

Pretty happy with the paint, fit and quality. Couple things to knit pick about, but nothing major.

They look like the "Induction" wheels from the Tesla web site, which are a $2,000 option.

The LR AWD variant has the option to get 20" induction rims for $2k. The Performance AWD has the option to get either the stealth package w/19" rims or upgrade package with the 21" uberturbine for the same price. Figured I can always get something else down the road when I have to replace the tires.

looks good. still working out some kinks on the body lines seems like. I think these are better looking, with better proportions than the 3.
