Hi! There is a buyout option. Current lease residual is around $120K.

Selling my beloved Model S Plaid! Had a custom badge made for the back that is even better than the launch day events. Car has been babied and mostly sat in my garage. Never tracked and Plaid mode used only a couple of times at the stop light—that was without drag strip mode too. Enrolled in...

Been away a while, hope there’s been many folks getting deliveries! Highlight of my experiences with the car so far: running into a pack of Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, and AMG’s on a mountain pass on the way to Monterey, CA. It was a lot of fun and I even got a couple thumbs up as I let loose a...

My car hasn't prompted me for an update, stuck at 2021.12.4.9. Where's my damn update, Elon?! Sorry, force of habit 😅

I went with Tesla because they were the only ones with them available. With the CF shortage, they're charging $40-50K right now, but looks great, so well worth it!

For those of you wanting to add the spoiler to the LR, here’s some measurements. Copying @ssv22 and please let me know if other photos would help—also first time using the iPhone’s Measure app and it worked quiet well! Does Tesla install the spoiler for you if you buy it from them? Measuring...

If enough of us do this and post photos, how long before an EV article saying Tesla is shipping cars with trac film? 😂 My paperwork initially showed $10K. I emailed the OLA that reached out to me from Tesla during the Plaid+ conversion and said I’m not seeing the $2K discount that was...

No PPF yet. Getting that done this week on just the front bumper/fenders to help protect it while I lease it and that way it's in as good a condition as possible if I decide to buy after the lease ends. Hoping the monkey gods don't keep you waiting for much longer! 🙏

Went to watch the sunset tonight and the way the red changes throughout the day really caught me eye! It’s insane how sexy this thing looks 😍 Also, the last question about trunk space made me realize I only sent photos with the back seats down, here’s with them up:

I should've said unlocks. It all makes sense now 🤓 It's going to be around $270 per piece IIRC. There is no delivery estimate yet, still waiting to start planning which might be another 4 weeks. I leased for 15K miles per year and the lease agreement has a buyout value listed. All-in-all, it's...

Not yet. Mine is a lease, but with all the talk about mud flaps, I’m going to do PPF on the front bumper and fenders for about $1,100 as a way to protect while not over investing.

Ahhh, okay! An excuse to take more photos, thanks 😉

Anyone want one of these, free of charge? PM if you do. I have 9 available and they are a million times better quality than the Etsy one. They’re 3D printed and 4x1”, but would probably need some painting to get the chrome effect the original has. I’m still waiting for the Billet Badges metal...

Anyone local to Newport Beach (near Fashion Island) or willing to drive down is welcome to take a tour and a spin of the car in person. Pass it forward like @omarsultan, @lolachampcar, and others in this thread ❤️

That’s a great idea! I’ll ask the car wash / detail person to do that. I assume they would’ve either way. As you can see from the dust in the photos, I’m not really too concerned with keeping things polished 😬

Yes, it even has a camp mode on the AC and aftermarket companies make air mattresses for the back…though those likely will need some new versions for the 2021. We bought a Roof Nest (www.roofnest.com) Sparrow Eye for my wife’s Volvo and plan to use that for camping and the MS for road trips to...

Last, but not least, some trunk shots…though I don’t know if these give a good idea of space. I could easily lay down back there (5’9”) if that helps. And, as a bonus set of shots, here’s a profile view of the gradient tint starting at 70% on the windshield, 50% front windows, and 35% rear...

As requested, here is what the door looks like when seated (without easy entry profile) and camera at eye level. I didn’t have a chance to measure the height yet.

More interior shots, this time in the late afternoon (5pm) sun! This last shot I think does a good job of showing how the walnut trim looks in different levels of sun exposure.

Just pulled up my Tesla account page while standing next to the car…old habits die hard 🤦‍♂️

Sorry, but no. The official estimated delivery date for that feature is: (blank)

Thanks! It really is a beauty. Love just looking at the car and can’t wait to use it on a 400 mile (each way) trip next weekend. These things, and the LRs in particular, are such amazing all around cars. Refined, fast, and roomy enough for trips and/or kids. The communication during the wait is...

So impatient! 🙄 The man said two weeks and he’ll do it. God, you don’t have to remind him every six months.

You’ll get it before December. Stay strong friend, the LR seems like the perfect family sedan ❤️

Okay, can confirm this is definitely from the car and when it unlocks for the first time after sitting for a bit (for example, this morning after it was locked overnight). Anyone not experiencing that? @omarsultan @bmt00 @lolachampcar @Ramphex @Hayseed_MS Maybe I should leave it unlocked in...

This happened when I received my VIN as well. A few hours later, it showed a much narrower EDD and the next day I called my SC. They were able to ping the car’s location, estimate when it would arrive, and setup a tentative delivery day/time which then updated my Tesla account and I was able to...

Interesting, maybe mine is on unlock too and I’m not remembering correctly. I’ll pay closer attention next time it happens. That being said, I also have another theory, it’s my neighbor’s central air system 😅 I didn’t have my phone with me, so the car didn’t unlock and I still heard the clunk...

Does anyone else have a loud clunk sometimes when the car locks? Wonder if that's normal, or indicative of an issue? Doesn't happen all the time, but maybe like 30-40%.

Yes, two of each. I set mine up with the phone key and have exclusively been using that, so I need to check if only 3 out of the 4 are active keys due to the bluetooth limit.

For @eddiemoy, @aerodyne, and any others looking for interior shots of the cream with wood, here ya go! Please let me know if you’re looking for other angles and I can snap more photos 📸 And, one bonus shot of the trunk as a reminder to set your open height so it doesn’t hit your garage door!

Remember, you have to earn its trust before it lets you ride it. Going from a Volvo V60 -> Plaid is quiet the upgrade in “flooring it” experience 😅

Will take some photos of the interior later today and post 😊 I love the look! Gives it an even more subdued touring vibe and belies the explosive power contained within. If it makes you feel better, this happened to me on more than one occasion. My rationalization of Tesla’s irrational...

Alright ya mad folk, I’ve caught up on the 40+ pages y’all added while I was busy picking up my Plaid! The delivery went super smooth, the car was sitting outside in the pickup lot, I did a quick once over and had already completed all payment/paperwork online, so signed a couple DMV papers and...

You’re right, definitely easier to say now than a few days ago. Still, even as the June promise slid to July and I saw other Plaids being delivered for one reason or another, I knew I would eventually take delivery and that I was likely in the home stretch. When July slipped to August, I felt...

For those getting the fear of delivery dates and 19” wheels and not wanting to hold on any longer…can you wait until the end of September? If not, the decision to bail would make sense. If so, then you’ve already waited this long and September is only weeks away. The end of quarter push from...

Be careful what you wish for 😅🤪

With your date range, you should be able to call your delivery SC and get tracking on where the car is and, probably, make a tentative pickup appointment. That’s what I did with a 8/2 - 8/6 delivery estimate and am scheduled for tomorrow 8/4. Just received a call from Tesla’s system to confirm...

Agreed! I don’t think this is a sunk cost fallacy, so sticking it out if you can is still really the best option. But, it is a great learning lesson of how to deal with Tesla in the future, or how not to deal with them altogether.

Seriously! Shocked I can’t make changes online considering it’s Tesla. Must not be a priority for Elongated Muskrat (shout out to @plaidGhost for the epic moniker)!

Agreed, I’m going to; not sure why the person who did it in that photo didn’t. I was a bit concerned about difference in window tints, so was considering do 50 all the way around and 70 on the windshield. But, I think the gradient effect will both look cool and help me not get pulled over in a...

Just double checked the Tesla Insurance policy that I signed up for in CA. It doesn’t include lease/loan gap coverage by default, so will be calling then to add that:

Here’s a photo of the tint setup I’m planning to go with on Thursday. I’ll post photos and am hoping the gradient effect looks good 😎

My understanding is the mobile charger can wear out from too many plugs in/out of the 14-50. If you leave it plugged in there, that won’t be a problem, but then you don’t have the mobile charger with your car when traveling. Or, you take only a few trips which mitigates the need to unplug the...

Tint scheduled for Thursday! I think I'm going to do 50 front windows, 35 rear windows and trunk, 70 windshield. I know @omarsultan did 55% all around and 70% on the windshield and that looked pretty clean, but not as dark as I would like. Has anyone done a darker tint and have photos? 😄

It shows up correctly on the final invoice, I had the same thing happen but it was correctly shown as a credit deducted on the final payment screen.

I was told by my SC that if the car arrives today and they can wash it, then I could pick it up tonight. Might be region specific, but maybe something to help you get the car today/tomorrow. So close!

No, this is exactly what I had and it goes away once you get a delivery appointment and an actual order invoice 😊 On that, it correctly shows as a payment and no order fee is added.

Thanks for asking, I just checked to get screenshots and my $2K FSD credit is now there! Once you have a delivery scheduled, your manage order page should have a Final Payment section, that has a More Details link which breaks everything out and shows there is no order fee and my $1,000...
