thanks for the great info, will be looking at -6 for my 19" i guess. Will be getting 20" for the summer.

just to make sure its the specs i wanted, mostly trying to mitigate for the inner tire wear which is notorious among Tesla. Did alignment for my 2022 Plaid and i m still on original tire after 25k miles, tire barely wears off, going plaid all day and highway runs often too.

My liftgate seems pretty perfect, will take some pics tomorrow for a clearer view.

my advisor told me is first week of March, on 3rd.

Got my Plaid delivered today. Quality is noticeably better than my 2022 Plaid, taillight misalignment still there, no significant gaps, paint chips etc, overall car looks fantastic. PPF right off the lot and will be doing wheel alignment after, so wont be able to enjoy it for another week...

Thanks for the info, i will try to ask for a Saturday night then. I only have the L2 48A 240V tesla wall charger installed at home and a NEMA, but both of my neighbours has J1772 AC, hopefully theirs work. 2025 Taycan doesnt have NACS, so charging will be an issue unless i install another...

@SilverGS thanks for the review, you will be surprise of how much tech the new S / Plaid has! let me know if you want to try it out someday in GTA. Anyway side question, does the Porsche Taycan test drive allows you to drive the car for a couple of hours and no one is following you around or...

Dont tell me you are going to Tesla Michigan meetup in June! I would love to go too, but its really far driving from Toronto. And thanks for the comprehensive review on the Taycan vs S in the most unbiased way, i havent test drive a taycan yet but my buddy has one Taycan GTS Sport Turismo and i...

2nd Plaid in Toronto for 2024? Or maybe first Stealth Gray Plaid in Ontario, mine is expected in 3 days., hopefully delivery goes smoothly.

shopping for new car insurance, cant find much about their claim/payout process, have you or any friends dealt with getting payout and is it a smooth experience thanks.

yea i drive without FSD 99% of the time on the Plaid even though i bought FSD, could have just use the money to get track package.

literally delivery in a week and VIN assigned for my 2024 Plaid, might have to cancel it and wait, likely a price increase will also comes with the same announcement though.

the taillight misalignment is still there, remember to get a mobile to fix it, or if you are still in the shop, ask them to turn the knobs on the trunk, the tech will be able to open up the mesh to adjust the taillight individually.

keep us posted when you get the S, fit and finishes etc. Grats in advance!

Ordered my S Plaid in last week of Dec (intent to get the 2024 VIN), delivery date got pushed back twice, from Feb to Mar now. Important thing is, there will be new announcement about the upgraded Mode S today, so I might have to push my delivery to later date for the new features on the car, or...

FSD?

one is loud, one is actually working at the problems. I m not defending tesla just to be clear. But i do think they are working on it since a long time, if occupancy network approach even going to get us there, no one knows.

Well, the reason for "why no one cares" about Waymo or whatever self-driving proclaimed tech(real or fake) is because riding in a Waymo is not cool, but riding in a robo-taxi Tesla is cool.

thats a good point, as for dark environments, i m more worried about the new model 3 that doesnt have fog lights, for model S we have matrix and fog lights so i think it should works fine, (going to test it out when i have mine). As for precision, yes US/radar is undoubtedly way more superior...

Tesla occupancy network already mapped the surroundings where your car is located(moving or not), changing location(ie moving slowly into the garage) in volume space will not change the objects' position mapped, so there is no blindspot, if not the recent high fidelity parking assist will not...

Which part of Canada are you located, if you are in ON, QC, i heard theres a batch coming (my Plaid will be in that batch too), assuming yours will be in that batch too. If you are in BC, you should be getting your VIN assign soon.

Just wanted to say something about this. Andrej Karpathy (Ex Tesla AI/FSD Director) mentioned 2 yrs ago in one of the interview with Lex saying that Tesla Vision can do distance measurement and there is no point having additional equipment like radar to measure close object distance; Radar was...

i think most of you guys will get it be4 end of Q1 2024. My MSP ordered on 7th Dec 2023, EDD Feb25-Mar31. Stealth Gray, Yoke, 19", Black & White interior. No VIN, No FSD. Toronto Canada.

hopefully u got a good deal, might have to wait since the refreshed model s are so new.

I checked with my Tesla guy in Canada he says its available in Canada as well, FSD transfer.

i will take the S Plaid all day vs the Truck, mediocre comfort, looks cool tho, just cant live with 400wh/mile efficiency.

Haha i m 100% agree with this statement, all they give a *sugar* about is delivery numbers end of quarter, they dont really care about selling a model X or S = to selling 2 or 3 units of model 3s and Ys in 1 go, only logical assumption is selling 2 units of model 3/Y gives better profit margin than...

ordered the S Plaid in Dec still waiting for VIN, date got pushed back from jan-feb to late feb-late march. My speculation is, after the range reduction re-order email, the updated Plaid/S draws more power for some new instruments, 37miles difference is significant, not saying that original EPA...

how much was these sold for? looking for something similar

wife totalled it, got full coverage of a brand new plaid replacement.

I m expecting my new Plaid S in stealth grey delivery in Jan-Feb 2024, hows the build quality nowadays, any recent delivery mind sharing their quality issues? When i got my S plaid back in 2022, quality isnt great, but still drives like a dream, hopefully quality is improved on the new 2024 Model S.

Many seems to think the price of the cybertruck will come down, imo i think new cybertruck will go up from here; with such high Fed rate, current listing price should be the low or near low of any Tesla vehicle, including the cybertruck. When Fed rate drops, APR% will come down and money will...

congrats and welcome to the plaid gang!

usually how long between placing the order and delivery day for the S plaid? Site says its Dec - Jan, would really prefer a 2024 one. Excited to get my 2nd S plaid in stealth gray, hopefully a good one without much issues. My S plaid in midnight has no issue at all.

I m having the same anxiety, got my first S plaid without any issues, now getting another one in stealth gray S plaid hopefully no issues at all, 2024 model ETA delivery in Jan

Its a steal tbh, chopped fiber ccb already cost pretty close from 3rd party, Track package comes with continuous fiber in matrix layers, which is more costly to make, and on top of that it comes with forged 20", dont think you can find any better deal than this.

Grats and welcome to the team, i got the exact same S plaid with yours except the 21", i intentionally went with 19" knowing that i will be driving it in the winter and 19 is probably the most comfortable ride sacrificing the look. As for summer i wanted a set of 20", since track package comes...

Tri-motor would likely be close to 900 bhp (current ones are 616bhp) , overboosted will probably hit 1k bhp (was 750bhp on the Ring 7:33 run), thats just theory estimate, and adding a motor will likely increase the weight (was already 300lb difference vs the Plaid). Tesla powertrain and motors...

incredible to see SpaceX is doing well and continue to advance human civilization

Yoke gang lets go. I got the 2022 plaid, new tailights, matrix headlights etc. Ultra red is really beautiful but i m very happy with my plaid atm, probably reserve the ultra red for roadster if it ever comes out.

honestly, its a steal at that price for a continuous fiber in proprietary designed matrix layers. Many of the CCB on the market with chopped fiber, much more cost effective and easier to manufacture, asking for that price or even more.

Aren't Tesla CCB made by ST, those guys made Porsches ccbs too, pretty top notch stuff.

probably not specific tires, but the car is pretty advance in calculating the tire grip categories/metric using accelerometers input with elevation, just my guess.

Get the S plaid, 21.5k cant even buy the 3rd motor, last i saw to replace 1 carbon sleeved rotor + motor cost around 25+k (i might be wrong or the price is way different nowadays not too sure) regardless, exclusive plaid mode is really worth every penny imo. Many thinks that plaid is a party...

Samsung T5 500GB, partitioned on both TeslaCam and Music, absolutely flawless so far.

For that particular road trip you mentioned, if it were to be any other EV, you would have taken at least 50% more time charing combined on 3rd party chargers, making alot more frequent stops, having the option to take at least 1 road trip out of the entire life of the owning that EV is a big...

I am pretty sure KIA doesnt have the other stuff that costs more to develop, ie superior battery management system, the whole mapping superchargers ecosystem at your fingertips, just this is already costly to implement, and often taken for granted. Having such convenience vs ones have to...

Grats on the new car! Technically Tesla didnt remove regen braking, just made it a lot smoother by fine tuning between the software leaving the hardware untouched; nothing is removed. I feel that the new regen pace alot smoother, and i think the reason mainly is for AP and FSD having smoother...
