Just got my 21” SV104 in triple black tint mounted with PS4S tires. I’ll get better pics taken with my Sony later, and replace these phone pics. The weight came out nearly identical to the factory 19”s without the aero caps on them. Rears were 56.3 lbs and fronts were 52 lbs. So this yields...

Looks like my issue is intermittent (at times), as it went away over the weekend for a few hours, then came back. It would clear, then comeback, and repeat this cycle over and over in the course of just a few minutes, which really sucks as the chimes get very annoying like that. Normally, it’s...

I am an extraordinary mechanically and electrically inclined person who could easily fix this issue as well as any tech at a Tesla service center. What a bold statement right? I’m making that statement because it is true, and to to also make a point that it would be foolish for me to delve...

Can you let us know which seat, and was the loose connection under the seat bottom on the underside? I wear slippers (flip-flops) that I take off when driving, and I push them a bit under the driver’s seat from the front. I wonder if this caused a problem under the seat from trying to stow...

I have a new Plaid, and this warning just came on today. Looks like this will be long, frustrating, and end my honeymoon with this car. I will update this thread with any progress or lack thereof.

I’ve got some input here… Yes, the Plaid is VERY worth it. If it is not worth it to you, then you do you in a LR, and I’ll do me In a Plaid. I use the power multiple times daily, and it feels great. I try to use the power in a way that does not piss off other drivers, and it does a good job...

We need Tesla to add a software switch below the drag strip button to enable “Cheetah Pre-Stage”. Not available until car is is drag strip mode and ready. You enable this switch and the car goes into cheetah stance, but allows you to creep up at low speed while it is enabled, and comes out of...

Going to an 8th mile track today. I can play here on more runs without getting the boot. I'm 6'-0" at 270lbs so not a good chance of any records being broken lol.

Nothing special here. Perhaps would have better if I waited a couple of seconds to get it all the way into Cheetah stance.

I made it out to Houston Raceway Park tonight and made a single run. NHRA track so got kicked out unless I agreed to sandbag, and that is not the kind of gal I am haha. I did not get all the way into Cheetah mode, but was in drag mode, so not the worst run in the world. This was on the stock...

Tomorrow is D-Day in Dallas! I’m so damn excited! I have not idea how the hell I’m going to get to sleep tonight, and I have to drive our Mustang trade 228 miles to Dallas to pick up our Plaid, then drive back to Houston. (long story, later) I like a road trip, so that’ll be fun and I have...

Sweet. I guess that’s where I drop my trade off too, and much nicer to not have my trade sitting in the boiling sun. It may not be ours anymore, but I still wouldn’t wish that on it, haha.

Some officers like to get you from behind, and shoot from an overpass or onramp right after an overpass. That’s why I don’t speed under overpasses period. To much avoidable risk exposure in that scenario.

Sounds like something a salesperson would say to sell you as much product as possible. I don’t speed under overpasses, especially those with on-ramps which puts you at great risk regardless of detection/jamming. With that in mind, I did not get rear laser protection. On a GTR (big frontal...

I will only speak from my experience with Anti-Laser Priority which I believe is the laser detection/jamming part of this system… I use it on my GTR, and in Hawaii where they ran laser exclusively for years (including DragonEye, the hardest to jam), it saved my license countless of times...

Also try rebooting your phone as well. I’ve had mine stop accepting a charge on my home wireless pad on occasion and that fixed it. I take delivery of my Plaid tomorrow, so I’ll chime in if I experience charging problems with my iPhone 12 Pro Max as well.

I have my delivery appointment set for this week, and they list 8687 N CENTRAL EXPY, DALLAS, TX 75225, but that just looks like a mall gallery From Google maps. Do they actually deliver new cars out of that place? I’m driving my trade up from Houston for delivery and would hate to go all that...

That AMS build and article are over 8 years old, and things have come along way since then. That was the top maximum effort GTR build back in 2013, and was far from a street car. It had far larger turbos than mine and older aero design turbos, so it would be so damn laggy at that HP (around...

Agreed with your points, and that has got to be at the engine, or perhaps the DCT clutches are slipping. If I did not do the work myself, and thus not have strict control over the QC process, I don’t think I’d want to deal with a fully built car of any make, especially a GTR. If you get it...

The GTR police need to impound that car and strip the owner of their rights to posses that car LOL. Welcome to the slowest “1,000 HP” GTR on this planet. I know bolt-on GTRs that are faster than that, and they are not even 700whp yet. I can’t wait to pick up my Plaid on delivery day this...

Not disagreeing with your point on the C8 and big‘ish power, but something does not ad up with that compared to other cars. Built R35 GTRs with 1,400whp are low 8 second cars and some of the lighter ones are high 7s. Even at only 1,100whp, they are solid 8 second cars at over 160mph, but they...

Call Tasla and ask them to match your original order to the car you have the vin for, and that is available. I bet they do it if you’re nice but insistent. This has a better chance of happening if the configurations are the same, or close to the same.

Not sure if the one I am getting is the same one or not. It had cream interior and 19” Tempest wheels. Either way, I’m joined with the VIN now, and intend to pick it up as soon as they’ll let me, tomorrow if possible.

Yep, I was refreshing the inventory every couple of minutes, and that one popped up at around 6:24pm. I immediately called Telsa and jumped on it. That VIN is now matched to my order, I have the insurance card uploaded, and will attempt to pick up tomorrow if they can make it ready.

I sent a private conversation request sent to him practically begging for the VIN on the car he refused delivery on. I’m paying insurance and have my car fully funded just to find out today that it never shipped, is still sitting in Fremont, and won’t be here for weeks. I would drive to Dallas...

Did this happen just today? Please let me know if it did and which location it was. I’d love to step in a take the car if you do not want it. I’m waiting for one to come to Houston, I’m all paid up, and paying for insurance, but I found out today, and the car never shipped from California and...

If all goes as scheduled, and I receive delivery as scheduled next Thursday morning, I’ll go to HRP and also have 19” draggy numbers Friday night. I’ll be getting the Signature wheels and selling the 19”s asap. One of my other cars is a 1,600+whp GTR, so the Tesla will not be my fast car.

I don’t have it yet, but I have a MF438 with a delivery appointment set on 9/2.

The USPS is conspiring against me getting the Plaid… One of the remaining steps prior to moving onward in the Tesla (sequential) website purchase task list, was to upload the title of my trade. Because Texas/Tesla, I had to payoff the wife’s Mustang, and have them mail the paper title to me...

My update for today is (other than my questions on my trade)… Talked to a customer service rep, we went over the current status and details. The car is away from the factory in actual transit, has an ETA at the SC on 8/29, and we have a delivery appointment set for 9/2. My order page has been...

You are correct in your observation. I’ve never dealt with Tesla, and have no idea what to expect, and don’t want any complications borking my delivery. Also, their trade in valuation was done purely on the pictures I provided and a few check boxes stating there is no major damage etc. They...

This is why I am pretty set on making sure I get my delivery concluded before my trade valuation on our Mustang expires on Sept 11th. My delievery is now scheduled for September 2nd, which is very likely to hold within a few days of that with the car in actual transit (not sitting at the...

I will be thrilled to the marrow if someone were to buy my tempest wheels. I’ll be ordering my rims and tires the moment I have the car On the 2nd of Sept. if all things hold.

My EDD slipped by 2 days overnight and went to 8/28-9/3, and I still have a VIN that showd up on the website this past Saturday. The rest of this post will either be an anatomy of a Texas Tesla purchase, or a forensic record of how it failed. My VIN is currently in jeopardy as I was texted...

Congratulations! Mine just did the same thing today when I refreshed. Got my VIN and the ED window tightened WAY up to 8/29-9/1. It looks like our cars may end up on the same train. I expect the end-date to slip a week or so based upon loading into train, but we’ll see. As long as it gets...

Last night, My ED yet again went from 8/28-9/10 to March. Today it just tightened up significantly to 8/28-9/1 and I got a VIN! White with black interior and 19” rims.

My ED changed to March tonight, but it’s done that two times before for a a day or two, then switched back to a similar range of dates That I had before I think it will switch back in a day or two, right back to near what it was, perhaps even with a VIN this time. Site tight, as I believe...

New member here, so first post. Ordered my Plaid on 8-8-2021, and it is currently showing EDD of 8-28 through 9-10. I refresh daily, and there were a couple instances where my delivery would change from Aug-Sept date ranges of about 30 days wide to “March”. Each time that as happened I called...
