    From that point, unless you want to spam the Comments on FB or IG (I hate social media, but it might be worth it to you?), then I would just sit back and relax. If you get the wrong color, I would fully expect her to pay shipping both ways to correct the problem.

    One other thing to check. Does you Order Number show up here:

    I wish that Katie would understand that it is not an "update" if it is late. It is an excuse at that point, esp as getting those pallets out of the harbor is going to be several more days.


    Expectations versus reality.

    Malvolio, sitting in the darkness of his smokey garage, reaches out to where his grab handle will someday be, squeezes his left fist in the air a few times, and nods. There is hope for the future. When the world is ready for a new and better life, all this will someday come to pass.

    You can edit and delete comments. There is no time limit on TW like there is on other forums.


    IMHO, taking that long to help is an issue. Just as we got this excuse today that the ship day was missed by more than a week. In my mind, if I dropped tens of thousands of dollars of my own and other folks' money on long lead tooling and parts, you'd be getting updates even if it was just checking in with the crew. That's just me though and certainly life can get in the way at times.

    Did you ever “air grab” that thing as you’re driving along and rest your left hand there? Seems made for that. :rasta:

    The handle is not there because it would block visibility.

    They do, but I think the windshield/pillars are significantly different. At least it feels like a more sloped windshield from the driver's perspective.

    Ah, that makes sense. I never drove a second gen so I wouldn't really know the difference.

    :rolleyes: Yeah. The cabs are different. The 3rd Gen is similar to the 2nd Gen except the structure has been strengthened for crash protection.

    Yes. The left handle was removed just before the launch because it was said the ATD contacted it in one of the tests. There was test videos posted that show it installed.


    There is no visibility problem. For proof, just sit in the passenger seat and have a look.
