    I ordered mine 30 seconds after it was announced, over 2 yrs ago :-( Has anyone had any hints as to when RHD deliveries might commence .. ??

    Unprovoked road rage...

    I respectfully disagree. We know that motorways around the M25 have lamp posts every 50.0m, and dashed white lines at 9.0m intervals, so 10 = 90.0m. Observers car is doing 10 white lines every 82/83 frames of a 30.0fps camera (Mobius by the looks of it). Speed = distance / time, 90m / (...

    [UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

    Anyone else waiting for a Plaid in the UK ? I ordered an MS Plaid+ about 30 seconds after it was announced on Battery-Day, 22nd Sept 2020 .. nearly 2 yrs ago .. but not a peep out of Tesla ever since, despite a couple of recent email/phone enquiries ... I'm also curious to know where I am in...

    Texas Institute of Technology & Science

    Might be a good hands-on university offering more practical courses than theoretical. I'd probably graduate with a DD in applied cup teknowledgy :)

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    That Sister of Mercy spoke for nearly 4 minutes. As far as I know .. Tesla stopped using Cobalt from anywhere in the world in 2020, so the 4 minute speech was a wasted statement.

    Off topic galore

    Going slightly off topic .. the avatar car is a 1974 Series 3 Roadster, with a 5.3Lt V12. (edit - looks like TimS beat me too it !!) There are already various EV conversion kits that can be retrofitted to an original car, but the value of a classic E-type is into the $100k-$250k region unless...

    Poll: Yoke, or Round ?

    Hah, yeah, I remember lowering my bulk onto one of those back in the day with sense of trepidation .. and yup, it splayed out, leaving me in a heap about 2 seconds later. With spokes in strange places!

    Poll: Yoke, or Round ?

    Thanks to all who have shared their opinion. The results show more than 80% in favour of conventional wheel so far. The previous poll from February was split near 50:50 but was based on rendered images at the time. Now its out in the real World. Perhaps the poll question should have been framed...

    Poll: Yoke, or Round ?

    There has been plenty of threads and much commentary, but no straight forward Poll on this since the Plaid was launched into the hands of owners and youtubers. At the time of this reply 90% seem in favour of a conventional wheel.

    Poll: Yoke, or Round ?

    Personally I could see the yoke working ok on a cruise/fast road and could probably adapt just fine, and I like the cleaner look onto the dash and the view beyond. BUT at lower speeds, reversing, 3+ point turns this is going to be a nightmare. For example I frequently do a reverse turn looking...

    So what makes a Plaid + worth $30k more than a Plaid? [Update: Plaid+ canceled]

    Another way of looking at it is that the ordinary cooking version of the MS Plaid is a whopping $3.1 Million cheaper than a Bugatti Chiron Sport, beating it with a world record standing quarter of 9.3 seconds. And the MS has additional advantages like 4 doors, room for the family, can run on...

    Does anyone wave anymore?

    ... are you sure they're not waving at you because you are their long lost dad ?!? .
