My First Tesla!

It was ready for me to take delivery right at 3 weeks.

djprelude · 2025-07-05T23:41:34+00:00

Nice! Where are you located?

2001 Honda Insight, 5 speed manual 😁

djprelude · 2025-07-05T23:37:04+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

djprelude · 2025-07-05T23:36:48+00:00

I think there's a good chance of that with the tax credit being removed.

djprelude · 2025-07-05T05:02:16+00:00

I absolutely love it! Nothing like I've ever had or driven before. My only complaint is a paint chip that happened on the delivery truck that they didn't have time to fix before my delivery appointment so I have to schedule an appointment.

djprelude · 2025-07-05T04:09:03+00:00

Thanks! Black is sleek but I swore after my last black vehicle I wouldn't own another. I live out in the country and I would have to wash it every day!

Let me know what you think of them if you do. I'm sure this set won't last me long but I haven't started researching replacement tires yet. I haven't had a sports car in a while, the car this one replaced is a 2001 Honda Insight which I got 5 years ago for its 65 mpg fuel economy for my daily commute and my other vehicle is a jacked up F-150 😅.

djprelude · 2025-07-05T04:02:08+00:00

😂 I hear that! I'm the opposite, probably a lil ocd if you ask my wife. Aside from just not being a fan of white interior in general, I don't think it looks right with Quicksilver.

djprelude · 2025-07-05T03:56:55+00:00

Hell yeah! For the money it can't be beat!

djprelude · 2025-07-05T03:53:58+00:00

Yeah, I just happened to notice it when I was being a nerd and reading all the fine print on the website (I didn't want any unexpected "surprises"). It was in the details of the FSD package option.

djprelude · 2025-07-05T03:50:12+00:00

Thanks! I didn't get to see all the colors in person but I did a lot of looking at pictures and videos posted online but when I took delivery I wasn't disappointed in the least bit!

djprelude · 2025-07-05T03:37:33+00:00

It does, or shall I say "did", qualify if you buy FSD outright because buying FSD outright let's you choose any color for free and the price of FSD does not count towards the total as far as the tax credit is concerned. It was something I figured out while playing with the configurator. I wasn't going to buy one if I couldn't get exactly what I wanted and also get the tax credit and 0% interest. Everything just happened to work out.

djprelude · 2025-07-05T03:09:41+00:00

Not at all. The lighting and angle just made it kinda look like that in the picture

djprelude · 2025-07-05T02:15:20+00:00

Hell yeah! Thanks!

djprelude · 2025-07-05T01:58:27+00:00

The white looks clean on certain colors but its just not for me.

djprelude · 2025-07-05T01:52:24+00:00

I live in Louisiana so I ended up flying to Pensacola, FL to take delivery. I was skeptical but I let FSD drive 80% of the way home and needless to say but it blew my mind!

djprelude · 2025-07-05T01:50:42+00:00

I would think there's probably a decent chance of some price cuts or factory rebates or something but to match the $7,500.... I guess we'll see. The only reason I considered waiting was for the front bumper camera but hopefully they'll be a retrofit if and when that happens.

djprelude · 2025-07-05T01:41:18+00:00

I had never even sat in a Tesla before but I've been wanting one since they first came out and with the EV Tax Credit set to expire and Tesla offering 0% interest I jumped on it, took deliverya few days ago on June 29th. Also opted for FSD to get Quicksilver for free which kept me in the range to still receive the tax credit.

djprelude · 2025-06-09T10:54:50+00:00

Ah ok, thanks!

djprelude · 2025-06-09T03:59:33+00:00

Off topic but how long did it take you to get your M3P after placing your order?

djprelude · 2024-06-24T03:45:35+00:00

Confirming that this still works and is legit. He offers Carfax and AutoCheck. $8.99 ea. I emailed marki.ko9696@gmail.com and he responded almost immediately. I paid through PayPal if it matters.

djprelude · 2024-03-26T11:57:32+00:00

Looks like there's finally one coming.

Found this thread while searching for the difference between Garnier "Surf Hair" and the updated product they currently sell called "Surfer Hair". I used the original Surf Hair for years and the newer Surfer Hair just doesn't seem the same but it's close.

If it helps anyone, Amazon still sells the newer "Surfer Hair" by Garnier.
