Picked up my Plaid yesterday, and here's my initial impressions for those interested: - Seeing the new nose up close and personal : very aggressive, very shark-like. I had a 2014 and 2016 S, both with the round-cap nose, and this is like a perma grin. - The 21's and the arachnids are a very...

I was able to change without penalty - you should be able to as well.

Delivery of "Olivia the 3rd, Queen of Speed" ( all of our Model S rides have been called Olivia, long story ) set for Wednesday, June 23. Told the boss I was going to have Plaid Flu that day, but not to worry 'cause it'd be quick.

About 12 hours.

I have a VIN! Estimated delivery June 19 -> 24! Ordered 1/31: Plaid MSM, Black, Wood ( changed from CF ), 21"s FSD. My wife ran in the office when I saw the page- she thought I was having a seizure. -HF

Another data point to add to the whirlwind: RN11444, ordered 1/31. Plaid MSM, Black, CF, 21"s. Had June for the longest time until today getting bumped to July. Reached out to my SA yesterday asking about CF vs Wood and delays in delivery. His response, in part: So it is correct that carbon...

* Right there with you on the Plaid MSM, and a little north in the Seattle area. Here's hoping! -HF

*creaking, clouds of vapor, and other decloaking effects* First: like you - I'm lucky to be able to afford a Tesla. There are other problems in the world more serious than not getting my new car when promised. Irritating, but not world-ending. This is a luxury. Second: The Plaid will be my...

Captain Awesome - thanks for that info. If you find someone who will paint or powdercoat, please let us know!

Good to hear. I have one of his Console kits sitting in front of me right now for application this long weekend.

Doing the initial legwork to get costs on tint / paint protection / chrome delete. My usual go-to, Accutint in Bellevue, told me that they really don't "like" to do chrome delete on these for a number of reasons: excessive time to apply, potential problem areas like under the folding mirrors...

Similar situation here - I have an AP1 Model S, and this is my second longish drive with new P3D+. The main diff so far is that the nag warning requires ->actual force<- to dismiss, while the AP1 car just requires my hand on the wheel. Another thing to re-calibrate on the Mark I human. As far...

Thanks, Pollux. I'll try to keep things under some sort of control. -HF

Decloaking to add my voice to the crowd: S Owner, Reserved online 4/1. Will be taking delivery of Silver P3D+/EAP/FSD with black interior on 8/28! Tracking spreadsheet updated.
