This is the only 'good' picture I have during Friday's pickup. No new pix as it's in the shop for PPF/ceramic. I was debating over the last few days and I got quote from one of the shops that was recommended highly by several friends who are also car guys. I was hoping they'd give me some...

And yes, pix coming. Been swamped and I never cleaned off the road dust/bugs from Friday.

That is crazy. Even way cheaper cars have figured this out, it's not that hard. At this point, I would've preferred some USB ports in that spot and I'll just use a cable.

I'm just at 500. How critical is the diff fluid change at 1500? I figured I'd take it in for the early oil change just below 1500, maybe I do that then? All seems good right now, though I have not checked actual oil levels but no alerts from diagnostics/screen so far.

Anyone here done the V-Club?

I'll make a gentle request that we keep the PPF/ceramic discussion civil. Too easy to devolve into 'tastes great/less filling' one.

14) Over the course of my 419 mile drive home, I averaged 24.4 MPG. Not too shabby. Granted, I was < 80 MPH and babied it all the way back.

On Monday, I started looking with earnest for a BW. Yesterday, I flew down to SoCal to pick up my 2025 CT4V (MT BW, Argent, sunroof, satin wheels) and drove it back to NorCal to cap off a long day. I thought I'd share some of my experience, musing and possible questions. 1) I picked this up...

Isn't riding the clutch bad? I tested releasing the clutch and not hitting the gas in traffic and got the slow roll. But since I was a kid, it was always hammered into me not to ride the clutch. Am I missing something?

2025 4BW SO460056 Argent Silver MT, sunroof, satin wheels

This will save me driving the hills in San Francisco. No more parking brake hands!

How does that work in practice? I'm planning to take my new CT4V home from the dealer tomorrow and expect to be sitting in traffic.

I did. Less than what they posted on the website. I shot my shot and the manager called my bluff. No way I could get that pricing in Norcal. They wouldn't even bother to call me back and when I went in-person, they blew me off. Up here, they won't budge from their markup.

Sales manager confirmed it's not drilled. I'm scheduled to pick up my new baby from Tustin Cadillac on Friday. PSYCHED.

THIS. Our last new car was a 2019 Model 3 and the combination of soft paint, panel gaps and the like drove me INSANE. Suffice to say that's the last Tesla that will ever lay tires on my driveway.

Dealer was going to let you take delivery w/ 4 bad wheels?

Curious what trim pieces you found damaged? I've chosen a low-optioned model so not a lot of extras to review but all good things to keep in mind.

Yup, it's gonna be a long ride home but I'll enjoy the sound system.

Wow, thanks for the comprehensive list. All great. Regarding extended warranty, I typically don't do those but perhaps you can enlighten me as to why I might consider it?

Hello all If all goes to plan, I should be picking up a new Blackwing in SoCal and driving it back up to NorCal where I live. - Are there any specific things I should be checking on during pickup? I'm anal retentive as it is by nature so I'll be going through it w/ a fine toothed comb but...
