Separate names with a comma.
I like carbon fiber and have it coming on the plaid+. But I ask in all seriousness: is Tesla's CF trim real, or does it have the relationship of...
Here is an example of what I think overall is a very pretty car (although I would rather have the plaid+, which I think will be around the same...
Then if someone didn't like it they could reinstall it upside down and they would have a conventional round, flat-bottomed steering wheel.
I love the nosecone. It's the thing I will be most sad to leave behind when my plaid+ order is filled (and the yacht floor too, although many...
I've noticed my P85D doing the same thing when I leave it charged 80% or more. I wonder whether the fans are put on to cool the battery to avoid...
Here's mine - no indication of yoke. Also no picture. Decided not to go for FSD since I enjoy driving myself - especially in this kind of car....
I see the option file includes: PMAB Anza Brown Metallic Color PMBL Obsidian Black Multi-Coat Color PMMB Monterey Blue Metallic Color PMSG Green...
Mine has no picture either, which makes me happy because it implies the plaid+ will be visually distinguishable.
I see Audi officially introduced the e-tron GT. It has the same price (RS version) range (roughly speaking) and acceleration (3.1s before my...
I appears to me that the "diffuser" at the rear of the refreshed S now looks completely non-functional and cosmetic, probably because actually...
You can turn a yoke back into a wheel with that thing.
This article in Teslarati about the steering yoke being approved in the Netherlands was pointed to in another thread. Tesla Model S and Model X’s...
I also believe plaid+ will be track-focused and have track mode, which is not to say that regular plaid won't have it. The main visible spec...
I’m skeptical about the street use of yoke steering, but since my order is for a plaid+ I’m going to have the benefit of being able to look at the...
Thank you for pointing that out! I failed to look at the video date.
Interesting video about driving 20k+ miles with a topless steering wheel. Gives me hope. In the rest of the video all the FSD fails on narrow...
And remember, there's fart mode too.
This is my view too. It is insane (or ludicrous) for them to force everyone to use the "guess which way" system without a setting to choose...
No brickbats and I actually hope the miracle occurs and the early adopters find it easy to use: then I would want to get one, since it looks...
Thank you for the link to the video! Good motor presentation.
Not a Taycan?
I think the advantage of having an order in for a plaid+ instead of a plaid is that by the time it ships, the original plaid and its steering yoke...
... particularly when you will be going 60MPH in two seconds.
I figure I win either way. Either they put a normal wheel on the car when it ships, or I get to show off my really cool unique steering yoke...
Fortunately, having a deposit on the plaid+ that ships many months later, I have the luxury of waiting for them to work out the carnage that comes...
My P85D shipped with 3.1 (later improved with the ludicrous upgrade). It was then called "insane" mode. Notice the new website text refers to...
I believe you but I hope the plaid that achieves 155 mph trap speed has slightly more robust brakes than than the dinky little rotors on my P85D.
Are we sure the "carbon sleeved rotors" mentioned in the specs aren't carbon sleeved (or clad) brake rotors?
So my plaid reservation made with a $1k deposit on battery day is now listed as plaid+, which is good if I am right when I speculate on what the...
To make the driver's side mirror really satisfactory on the S I've had to paste a small convex mirror from the auto parts store onto the surface...
Earnings on the 27th. Yes, given all the datapoints on Europe price increases, manufacturing shutdowns, inventory reductions, and showroom...
Now that, to me, is a very nice refresh!
I completely agree. I certainly wouldn't cancel mine, particularly since it would be reasonable to expect Plaid-specific aero (just as the...
As one who put down a first day deposit on the plaid I really hope the looks are differentiated, even if only by ducts for brake cooling, a bigger...
Didn't Elon once say something to the effect that the plaid S was too complicated and it was going to be simplified? Just speculating, but the...
As far as I know, nothing has been promised. One thing I expect is that the option list will be different when the design details are fully...
A sunroof is a nice idea, but mine occasionally leaks and Tesla service has never completely fixed it. The best attempt was by a ranger who was...
Your comment is well-enough reasoned that it leaves me worried.
I agree with everything you said except I wish they would get rid of that little "bird's beak" detail in the center of the slot on the nose of the...
Imagine standing there in 1965 and having the 2020 model materialize in front of you. It wouldn't look like any other car you've ever seen....
I agree. For the first few years after buying a P85D in 2015 it was great. Then model 3 volumes ramped and the rest is history.
Digging around I found some data supporting the theory that the plaid is being delayed at least in part to achieve higher performance, probably...
I'm sad about the need for the slot, but that's good to know. You are certainly right about storage. I don't know if you remember the yacht...
I think the overall shape is an absolute classic. I agree on the chrome delete option: that would be interesting as a plaid-specific detail....
I wouldn't have put down a deposit if I thought there was a chance that the plaid would have the same interior and exterior as today's S. Elon...
I've been very happy with the P85D I bought over 5 years ago. I have to replace it sometime, so why not with the plaid version of the car I love....
Me too. Red. 21" wheels. The styling (front end and interior) better be different by the time it ships.
Not really ironic ... it's just a reminder that it's good to be king. I love that color.
If yours is the black car in your profile picture then I agree -- I think black makes the current S look quite good exactly because it hides the...
I want a change to the nose of the car. Something derived from the new roadster would be nice. I have a 5 year old P85D with the original Model...
