I don’t understand the “ Yoke fear” It took me just a few hours to get used to it in my plaid car Learning to use the first IPhone with no tactile keyboard was far more difficult Don’t worry about the Yoke. It’s different for sure but I like having a clear view without half the steering wheel...

I just took delivery of my Plaid Model S. I've only put 150 miles on it and have yet to floor it but it seems very quick. I've seen several video's of Model S plaid cars racing super bikes, Lambo's, Ferrari's and Hellcats etc. There is a recent video of the Model S easily beating a heavily...

The Yoke is not hard to get used to. Just have to go back to hand over hand for tight turns which are usually at low speeds anyway Controls on yoke instead of stalk feels a bit different at first but it’s easy to get used to For me this was less of a transition than it was when I bought my...

I’ve had my Plaid Model S for just three days and only about 150 miles. I’ve driven into and out of multiple parking lots and garages as well as some highway driving. Driving with the yoke and no stalks is not difficult for me. I have already adapted to the different methods of executing tight...

I have a 2018 M3P with 12,500 miles on it. About 3 weeks ago I brought it in for service to replace the 12V battery and charge port door. Service at Norwell, MA was terrific and the car has been operating fine... until today. I just got a notice on my screen that " your Tesla may not restart/...

Not sure the geographic area you are in makes much difference. I also ordered a Plaid Plus on battery day. Then I ordered a Plaid car on the day it was announced. Eventually, Tesla refunded my $1,000 deposit on the Plaid Plus My Plaid order is a white car with white interior , 21 inch wheels ...

6’5” should be no problem in a model S. I have two tall friends ,one 6’4” and the other 6’7” and they both fit comfortably in the drivers seat within the standard seat adjustment range.

I own a Model S Performance and I have driven a Model S without the performance option. I regular around town driving you won't notice a difference. If you plant your foot on the go pedal from a dead stop there is a huge difference. Also, highway passing is much easier with the Performance...

Just checked on my Roadster reservation to see what the status is. The roadster 2020 reservation DID NOT say prepare for delivery. Not sure any of this is meaningful.

My reservation opens up just fine. However, it says “ prepare for delivery” I haven’t looked at the reservation page for about 60 days so this note may have been there for a while but I don’t remember seeing it before.

If you can swing the extra bucks definitely buy the Performance model It’s an absolute beast

I own a 2018 Model 3 Performance and a 2019 Model S Performance (Raven spec). Both cars are fantastic but they are very different. Will you be the only person driving the Tesla? My wife prefers the Model 3P. It's smaller dimensions make it easier to park and it just feels more nimble. I prefer...

I ordered mine last night. White on white with 21" wheels and FSD software. I currently own a 2019 Raven Performance Model S. I suspect they will offer an updated body and interior for all Model S cars in about 12 months. The reason I think this is the case is that if the Plaid Model S was going...

I posted earlier and I should have mentioned that my car is a June 2019 Raven Performance Model S. I'll look more carefully next time but I think most of the power increase in 2020.12.5 comes from the rear motor. I'm pretty sure the rear motor and inverter are unchanged in the Raven Performance...
