I just got a call from a Tesla advisor about my 7-seat Plaid order and he said yup they're only going to be making 6-seat and my options are go for 6-seat, change to LR 7 seat, or cancel. They offered a $3,000 deduction to go with the 6-seater but said if I switched to the LR it would be at the...

I'm surprised this is the only aftermarket option available so far but I've found this online for anyone interested. I've not tried it so I can't speak to the quality of it. Tesla 2022 Yoke Completer — Aftershock Garage Tesla & EV Services

Sorry, I should have clarified. You are right, there are new buttons on the yoke that are not on the previous S/X steering wheels. If Tesla were to provide a retrofit option they would have to manufacture a full steering wheel with the same buttons as on the yoke. However, on some prototype...

Has anyone who has taken delivery of a Plaid Model S inquired to their service center whether a retrofit to a normal steering wheel (as was seen in those hidden images on the website months prior) is available? Still without stalks, just a full wheel. We also saw some prototype cars with this...

Same! Blue Plaid S with white interior ordered on Feb 20th. Previously it said 3-8 weeks from order placed date, earlier today it said August, and just now it changed to June 1-30.

Roughly it seems like people with LR reservations have had their delivery estimates pushed back while people with Plaid reservations have stayed the same. This would also make sense with what Tesla said that Plaid would come before LR. However these extreme delays without notice are still...

Don't jinx it! 🤣

This is a very important distinction.

With the Plaid+'s specs being so insane I think Elon will deliver on his promises of making the Roadster even better.

It's definitely a difficult situation. Even if Elon is over promising he never really under delivers. It just takes longer. I'm not sure what I prefer...on time but average or late and significantly above average. Obviously the ideal would be both on time and above average but we just know...

And a 1 year delay.... Design studio now says Mid 2022.

I was just thinking...maybe they do something like Apple's Pro Display XDR. It's very sleek but can be rotated so it's either horizontal or vertical. Horizontal for entertainment and vertical for driving. This would probably take a lot more effort than it's worth to make it look implemented...

As I'm sure everyone knows, starting with the 3, then Y, and soon the S and X, Tesla has been transitioning away from portrait front screens to landscape screens as they are much better at providing entertainment. Back in 2017 when the Roadster was unveiled it had a thin, curved portrait screen...

Not the biggest of news but at least someone on the entire Tesla team was thinking about the Roadster enough to change the reservation page description! Now: Previous:

As others have said, picking up from factory in the middle of pandemic is likely not as fun as we'd hope so I won't look into it for my plaid MX but Roadster is definitely a different story! Hopefully by then things are back to normal.
