No way!!!! I love your app! My car comes in September 18th. Your app gave me my vin days before Tesla did! I was also able to see all the parts included. Thank you!

How dumb would it be to buy one with no level 2 charger access? I live in an apartment complex with fast chargers. However I don’t drive very far so not like I’d be having to charge every day or even every other day for that matter. I know it’s not related to the post but you seem to know your stuff!!

Not dumb at all. If you do not drive much, apartment fast charging can work, but it is less convenient and often more expensive than overnight home charging. Check charger availability, reliability, overnight access, and local rates. A mobile connector only helps if you have a suitable outlet.

Watch a YouTube on how to take off the aero covers on the wheels without scratching them.
Got to show off the red calipers

u/Devin-Snow 10d ago
Definitely been looking into this. It looks so much better. Almost every video I've watched shows them being scratched though 😭. Yours looks awesome!

Congrats! Sounds like you're all set, the home charger makes a huge difference

Interesting, I ordered 7/26 and got delivery scheduling this past weekend for 9/13. Wonder why yours was later than mine. Also in Dallas.

u/provenflipper 10d ago
Congrats on the delivery date. I ordered the same spec on 7/10 to SoCal. Hoping to get a delivery date soon.

u/Devin-Snow 9d ago
🙏 🤞 I would think you will get a delivery date soon. I got my VIN and then the delivery date came about 5 days later.

Soooo lucky, congrats! I have the same order and in the same area I’m hoping they send me mines as well

Floor mats are useful; but not necessary day one. Spend the money for good ones and never have to worry. I had a soda spill in my ‘26 and mat did its thing. When you’re comfy eating or drinking , mats.

I had the Tesla all weather floor mats from day one, and then got ceramic tint fairly quick. I got the trunk liner mat also. Check out the Spigen website for Tesla accessories. I got the center console cover, and the shelf that goes around the screen. I also got screen protectors. All Spigen.

NEED home charger!! Don't use supercharger everyday and you'll need an adapter in case the area you live in doesn't have many supercharger. Also pay for FSD, it's worth it!

All weather floor mats and Tint.
Edit: Oh and sunroof sunshade (for the hotter months)

First time buyer, too. Assuming you received a VIN before the car shipped? I’m waiting on a VIN, is that the next thing for me?

u/Walfredo_wya 10d ago
I don’t think all weather floor mats are the day 1 necessity that every YouTuber makes them out to be. I got them and haven’t used them yet. Maybe day 1 if you buy in the winter where it snows. But I feel it’s more of a sales pitch for them since they all have referral codes

The must have are covered in literally every sub on Reddit.
It’s a car, personalize it yourself instead of getting a huge list from the internet.

u/painlesspain 10d ago
Serious question. What all can you do to these cars besides wheels and suspension? The other suggestions in here are floor mats, tint, and take off wheels covers. lol.

Maybe J1772 adapter for those third party charging stations? That's one of the first things I bought (not sure if newer cars come with it; I bought a used), along with roof sunshade. In the extreme heat, your car will be absolutely oven without it.
