Appreciate it. Your experience reminds me of first riding motorcycles - pulling the throttle was scary at first then it became "did my bike lose power?"

For those of you that came from a "fast" car (whatever that means nowadays) and have driven the Plaid for a few weeks/months, has the novelty of the instant torque subsided? I ask because my friend and I both had Plaids on order but after he drove a rental Plaid for ~1000 miles, he decided to...

Thanks for the memories, One Paseo.

Contributing factor - tesla drivers speeding up and down the structure. I am certain there have been accidents.

Picked up the car today, much better build quality than the last time. Most importantly, the paint wasn't fubar. Going in for tint and PPF next week.

Thanks. It actually coincided with whatever date they forecasted, which was weird. Last time around it would keep saying it was a week away but getting pushed out when within one or two days of the final "away" date. Yesterday it said 9/2-9/6 or so.

I'm in so Cal and I just got a vin. Ordered 7/25.

Haha my F8x was so much fun. Until I spun the crank hub. Luckily I got it covered under warranty.

So Cal Performance orders will typically arrive between the last 2 weeks of the quarter. If you're lucky, it may arrive 3 weeks early.

Alignment issues with trunk / lights they can probably fix, as long as they don't call it "within spec." Be caution on paint issues, overspray, lack of paint, etc. Those are harder and who wants a car that has been resprayed or complete bumper replacements?

I too ordered another one after Tesla bought back my car (Tesla spent almost 2 months trying to fix various issues). I'm hoping the replacement isn't like the first one.

Red might help you get the car slightly earlier than a white one.

You are accurate. I'd say last 1-3 weeks for so cal residents.

So the car I took delivery last quarter was officially bought back by Tesla. Many issues and it took weeks just to get sent back to the shop for more weeks at a time. Luckily, they didn't make it difficult.

Dropped off my car at SC today, estimated 2 weeks to "fix."

Yes- in the end it's just an object that will get scratched, hit, abused, maybe crashed or even totaled. Life goes on. Hopefully I took one for the team and you guys won't get another "last assembly on Friday night before workers go home after 12 hour shift" car.

The car was underwhelming but I was mentally prepared because I knew how bad their QC could be. Believe it or not, I accepted the car. I already scheduled a visit for next week to try and "fix" the issues. Alignment is generally easy to fix, so I shall see if they can actually mitigate the...

Picking up the car, several paint defects. May reject the car, stay tuned.

FWIW I didn't get my VIN until my car was already made and delivered to the dealership. Very bizarre.

Who dares, wins.

They randomly called me for no reason. I thought it was a scam call at first.

Some food for thought - so apparently that "virtual team" from Tesla was accurate about my car being built and shipped. Although I didn't get my VIN until the car reached the dealership, they were spot on regarding arrival date. YMMV but if they call you, extract all the info you can out of them.

My date changed from and to the exact same thing today. I'm in so cal as well.

My EDD moved back to 2-11 club today. So whatever that virtual team told me about my car being built yesterday seems like doge *sugar*.

Unless you get lucky, a 6/3 order might get delivered in mid September. Can you wait 3 months?

I drove the demo M3P so hard for 30 min straight, the tires wore similar to a track session.

Did you send them a notice to perform? I think sending that certified mail will get their attention quicker than trying to call them all the while being transferred around to oblivion.

So any updates from Tesla?

Yup I've never heard of this but this guy had access to my account and past reservations. I'm curious to see if this production slated for tomorrow was *sugar* out of his *hand*.

Just got a random call from the "Tesla virtual team" and he said my car is supposed to be built tomorrow and will take 1-2 days to reach so cal. I asked when the VIN would be assigned and he said once the car is complete and shipped, the vin is given to the client. I won't hold my breath, lol.

Final inspection is one checkbox - does the car have 4 wheels on it?

Yup a lot of times it just comes down to demand or notice letters to get things done, unfortunately. I sent in the arbitration opt-out letter to Tesla and they updated my order page with "arbitration provision" - a color copy of the letter as well as the envelope notating the date received, so...

Yikes, sorry to hear that. Transportation issue may have been out of their control or they could be withholding information on what actually happened, who knows. I'm not an attorney but I feel if you paid for the car in full (regardless cash, finance, lease), they need to deliver you the product...

No one likes vaporware and a lot of us bought into the hype thinking a Plaid + was real. If Tesla had no plans to actually bring the Plaid + specs to fruition, that's a very unethical move by them to elicit positive press and make their competitors worry. Most importantly, for them to offer a...

This thread is about to blow up.

Interest free loan to Tesla for all + holders. Sad.

Sorry to hear that, what a let down. Can you give us the VIN so we know to watch out for it?

FYI there was a white on black M3P demo car being offered to those waiting. Someone just took it though.

6/7 to 6/20 now

Nice! I was just there a few months ago spectating. My car blew up at gila bend but it’s almost repaired now. Was hoping to bring the Plaid to willow (canceled my plaid order) but now I hope to catch a lane next to one there 😂

Anyone with their Plaid going to Shift Sector race at Willow Springs late June?

In all honesty, Tesla wants/needs to show juicy Q2 numbers so I do believe we will get our cars by 6/30/2021. The only thing in the way may be the redirection of attention to getting Model S Plaids out, which is starting to make me think I should not have canceled the order. Regardless, I think...

That is within spec actually.

Let us pray together. Come, gather 'round the campfire.

I've never heard anything like that unless they're referring to "priority" matching as soft/hard VINs?

LMAO at the "I can learn statement." A lot of valet drivers are in their teens or early 20s and they don't give two *sugars* about neutral dropping / clutch popping / giving 50% throttle and 10% clutch engagement.

2-11 weeks blows, it's such a large range that it's the same as having a blank EDD. Perhaps Tesla is running into more parts/chips issues and the now-removed lumbar support isn't enough to maintain production. :mad:

Hmmm Are you ordering another one?
