    Has anyone taken delivery of a vehicle with the Stealth option yet?

    Yes, joec - my delivery advisor said it could go into production anytime between now and the end of March - just wondered if there was any evidence that they'd started Stealth production yet.

    Has anyone taken delivery of a vehicle with the Stealth option yet?

    I'm wondering if anyone has received a Stealth Air Grand Touring order yet? I haven't seen anyone posting about it yet... wondering when I should start anticipating my order going into production. Thanks!

    Greetings from Seattle

    Thanks, Mawashi - would love to once I’ve taken delivery! (might be a while, as I added the ‘Stealth’ option…)

    Greetings from Seattle

    Hello - I've been hanging around the forum for a few weeks, since having confirmed my order for an Air Grand Touring in December. I have been enjoying driving Teslas for many years, but recently have lost confidence in the company's direction and priorities, and am ready to move on. Everything...

    Peter Rawlinson Tech Talk

    I haven’t seen this posted here, so I thought I would share it. Fascinating presentation by Peter on EV design/engineering for efficiency. What a refreshing contrast to see a CEO who clearly knows his craft and is clearly engaged and excited by the technological challenges and the solutions he...

    Seattle Area PPF Installers

    I've had partial wraps of STEK on Teslas done by Metropolitan Detail, and they do a magnificent job - truly spotless, no bumps, edges well concealed. But they are kinda pricey.

    Rim Rash Protection?

    Oh man, good catch CLTGT - I never considered the weight differential might make a difference.

    Rim Rash Protection?

    They stick out about 1/8th of an inch beyond the tire sidewalls, so they rub against the curb instead of your tire or rim. Also, especially with the black ones, any abrasions suffered are not all that noticeable.

    Rim Rash Protection?

    Hi all - I searched the forum and couldn't find any mention of Alloy Gators; is anybody installing any rim protection for their Airs with 20" and 21" rims? We have Alloy Gators on our Teslas and with the exception of a couple of slow leak incidents, we've been really pleased to have that layer...

    Torn between Model S Plaid and Lucid Touring.

    I have owned a Model S since 2016, first a P90D, then a 2019 ‘Raven’ P100D+. There is a lot that I love about the Model S, but I have an Air Grand Touring on order. As others have said, the interior is very minimal, and I feel that they are actually making the driving experience worse for their...

    I also live in Seattle and can’t recall ever seeing a sticker plate.

    No-drill front license plate?

    They applied my '19 Tesla Model S front plates with double sided 3M tape (over Stek Dynoshield PPF) and it has worked fine. It start to detach once and I had to replace with fresh tape, but it's a decent alternative to drilling holes.

    What is the best Tesla Adapter?

    Yes, I visited our local Lucid Studio this week to ask some questions (I have an Air GT on order, but a ways out due to the Stealth option) and asked about using a Tesla home charger with an adapter. I was told quite ‘firmly’ that using any Tesla charger with any adapter would immediately void...
