I figured as much and laughed....
I was undecided on both EAP and PUP. Friday in a moment of weakness I added both to my order just to see how I felt about it. This morning I logged in and my edit button is gone, so I guess I'm getting them both. Decision made for me. Logically I wanted the ability to run the aero wheels and the 15% extended range. But damn they are ugly as fuck. I really hate the way they look, so I don't know how often I'd actually have them on the car anyway. And now I have the option of the track package, although I doubt I'll get it if they charge extra. I'm going to have to shop for some wheels now though. I really liked the way the 20's drove during the test drive but I cant' imagine they're the right balance for me. I really liked the OEM 19's with the gray paint and people are selling them off occasionally in the forums so I'll probably do that. ZBB, want to trade? These are the only 18's I know of that fit over the brakes. They had a package with Conti DWS all seasons on sale a whlie back but I missed. it. I don't need real snows... that's what the truck is for. Last edited by rumatt; 09-15-2018 at 10:44 AM. |

In for a penny, in for a pound...
Well if you don't have EAP you close off some future options, so that would have annoyed me and I'd *have* to get it. And PUP, I was always for it. I guess that gets up to the mid/high-70's before the credits. You're still ahead of Sept 16. Now that it's blue and you've spec'ced it well, keep it nice for me! The only change I would have made is white seats, not a dealbreaker. |

EAP can be added after. It's just a software update. But they charge an extra $1k after purchase.
It's the darker gray (MSM), not blue. And yeah, the car is way more expensive than I wanted. If I love it, I'll be OK with it. If I don't love it, the dent in the wallet is going to hurt. A lot. |

Nah… I don't want to trade. I really like the look of both the 19's and 20's, but the 19's are low enough profile for me. They are noticeably lower profile than the 19's on the S.
And I agree, the 18's with the aero covers on really are uglier than fuck… They look good with the covers off though -- the guy that works for me took his off and got the Tesla hub covers… Congrats on the "forced" upgrade -- looks like you waffled long enough and they took that option away from you! I don't think I ever had an edit button (at least not after the first day or two)...

Josh & rumatt -
I mentioned in my Model S closeout post that I use TeslaFi to log my S. I also started logging the Model 3 as of the first evening. If you want to try it out, TeslaFi has a refer friend, which doubles your trial period from 2 weeks to 1 month. My referral code is ZBB-3

Cool, thanks. What's it cost once the trial is over?
I was thinking of getting it, not for the logging, but for the remote control ability. |

Just saw those aero wheel covers for the first time IRL. Good lord they are not attractive.

How real is that 15 percent number?
