Same question. I think all the universal wall connectors are bidirectional, with and without the logo. But no one has the v3 gateway yet to verify this for sure. If there was a hardware change they would have changed the model. This is the way most all companies work. So 99% you are good...

Nope. Just collecting rock chips where I decided to not do PPF. 🙃

Already have a huge rock chip on the door and needing a touch up kit so I can fix it and PPF. Sadly I did a PPF on the front, and 1 day after getting it a big door rock chip appeared. Uggh

It was a package deal. But I think the tint alone was around $650 For sides and rear. I had the same tint on a m3p and had no issues with it for a few years.

Thanks! It’s 3M ceramic 35% on the sides and rear

Just sides and rear 35%

35% ceramic sides and rear. Interior is black/Ebony so it works well without being dark. Looks classy.

San Jose. mister tint

I quoted OCD east bay and Mr Tint in San Jose. OCD was over $10K for ppf, paint correction, tint, ceramic. Mr Tint came in at $7100. The end result Is awesome. Close up of the work

Yep Mr Tint did an amazing job. Totally happy with it and much less than what was quoted at OCD.

Full ppf, ceramic, tint all done. Time to enjoy the Plaid!

Dropped the Plaid off for full Xpel PPF, Cermaic, Tint. The folks at Mr Tint have done a few Plaids already in full PPF, and in all cases the said the Plaid badge was too flimsy and could not be removed without ruining it. So anyone know where to get a replacement "PLAID" badge? I don't want...

Team blue! First few days with my Plaid and it has exceeded every expectation. Worth the wait!

I really want to buy EAP for $5K or less. Not at all interested in $10K for EAP plus a FSD promise. Sucks they took away buying EAP again. Hope they revisit it once FSD is shipping and the price goes beyond $10K.

I’m hoping when full FSD is out in Beta they open up the purchase of EAP for $5K or less. I don’t want FSD until it’s baked. But not happy with basic autopilot, since basic stuff like changing lanes while engaged is disabled. Sheesh. $10K for it to change lanes when I hit a signal I stupid...

This is what happened to me. Then a day later it changed to a 2 week range in early August. Then a day later got a Vin. Monkey gets busy as we get EOQ. They really wanted my $10K Tesla tax. 😝

Can someone with the car measure the voltage out of the 12V power socket? Hearing that it’s 16V and damaging some electronics plugged into it. In the manual it also implies the 12V jack is 16V. if it is 16V lots of folks are going to be damaging gadgets. 🙃🔫

Taking delivery tomorrow of a Plaid with VIN 5YJSA1E66MF438xxx. So I think we are from a batch from a couple of weeks ago. Yay.

I'm shocked you didn't get a VIN already on the 8/8 order. They want your $10K bad. LOL. Since most are disgusted by the $10K Doesn't-FSD RnD tax, they need to earn it with the price hike.

$140K is the price including tax.

Ok guys - Good or bad idea time I take delivery TOMORROW of my Blue/Black Ebony 21 Plaid. I shamefully paid the Tesla $10K tax, and my man parts have shrunk. So - I have a battery day reservation for a Blue/White CF 21 plaid, that’s $140K out the door including tax. Would it make any...

That’s an interesting way to do it. But for me, every gouge during those four years will bug me. Had so many chips in my m3p, I decided I would just plunk down on the plaid, since I’m likely to keep it longer.

Agree. They are in EOQ mode. They want high margins, and will give better dates to folks on the west coast where they don’t have to ship. if they have to ship, where build date plus ship doesn’t get you into Q3, they will push you to Q4 or Q1.

Yes sir. Waiting for the day FSD doesn’t feel like a scam. And they pressure all of us to buy it now or else expect the price to increase. Then give us zero trade in value and do not allow us to transfer it when upgrading cars (I just upgraded from a M3P with FSD. Yet never got FSD in the...

Welcome to the “I donated $10K to Tesla!” Club. 🤪

That black interior is butter!! 🤪

Ppf reviews from Yelp seem positive. Guess we will see. Here is what they quoted me. Bundle price breakdown -Full body xpel ppf wrap $6490 -All sides and back ceramic tint $675 -Silver plus ceramic coating $1195 Total $8360 Package price $7195

What would be good for a uniform look without dealing with tickets in Cal? going with Mr Tint for the ppf. A bit nervous as they aren’t super know for ppf/ceramic install. Guess I will find out. Lol.

Ordered 8/6 -> Plaid Blue, Ebony, 21. Home delivery happening 8/12. Xpel PPF/Tint/Ceramic scheduled for 8/20. Full package is $6100. Need to decide on tint levels. I think I will do 20% rear, 50% front. Crazy. I have whiplash for how fast this happened. Wife is not happy I paid the...

MF438. Any idea of build date from that? Yah. But after looking at Black Ebony I’m really out on the white CF. Sucks how the price has been a moving target. But things change as they approach production. And margins are margins.

In NorCal drivers suck and are distracted by their phones. So a 2-5s delay is par for the course. I did like it on my M3P. But it didn’t always work. Of course if there is a car in front of you can plop on autopilot so it seems like you’re paying full attention. So really only needed for...

Well sorry to interrupt the clone/Poser wars. But I got a VIN! Ordered Friday Aug 7. VIN by Aug 9. Pick up on Aug 10 at the Freemont factory. Maybe a new record? LOL. It’s Blue/Black/Ebony/21. Anyone know how to decode the build date from a VIN?

Yah agree. But it’s not about “the track”. I will have a freaking massive smile on my face every time I get on the freeway or stomp on it to pass a car. I love performance and power. Plaid is a wicked bargain for what it can do. And you absolutely do not need a track to enjoy acceleration...

People buy counterfeit clothing, jewelry, fake GoPros on and on. Comes down to wanting the “effect” without the cost. For me personally it would be a constant source of embarrassment. When my buddies ask for a ride in the “plaid” and I disappoint them with M3P performance instead of Plaid...

I love all this anti CF talk!! Take my $10K and get me a wood car!!

$10K for FSD when the only shipping feature I want is a bell that rings on a green light so I can read email. I hate myself for even considering it. 🙃🔫

We’ve seen zero white CF deliveries (besides the ones I saw at Plaid day in Freemont). Since then very few white have shipped that have posted. We’ve seen more CF though. So white CF continues to be the unicorn config. i want a car this year, and was drunk. So we will see where this goes...

On Friday I booked a Blue/Black/Wood. When booked EDD Monkey 🥒 gave me a March estimate. By Sunday EDD went to Aug 11- Aug 22. We will see if a car shows up in the next week or two.

Agree 100%. Totally worth $10K for me to upgrade. Haha. 🙃🔫

Looks like you have white walnut? This is the black ebony.

In a drunken rage, I placed an order Friday for my same config but with Black wood.. A day later I have a delivery window for Aug 11 - Aug 22. so they will happily take your $10K and get you a car ASAP. Even if the configurator tells you next year. A fun $100 experiment that costs you $10K...

you guys are making this easy. Haha. I did ride in a plaid with black ebony at the Plaid event. It’s awesome and ultra masculine. Hey I saved at least $10k skipping vacations during Covid. Omg I hate myself.

It’s like a group intervention trying to talk sense into me. Haha.. I do really like the black wood a lot. I owned a 2018 M3P with white interior and enjoyed it. Car before that was a Macan with black interior and I liked that also. So I wouldn’t have remorse except the stupidity of...

Yes seriously Expensive. But now the doors are closing in on my sense of reason and patience. I’m thinking I like the black wood interior a lot more. Lol. Who needs white CF? I’ll give up sunscreen and get the black!

I know right?? I should have principals And stuff. I even left off FSD this time so the price is falsely lower. Lol.. ‘Can someone post pics of the black wood interior? LOL.

Well well well… i was drunk yesterday (a happy drunk playing simulated golf), when I thought, “*sugar*, I’ll just place an order for Blue, black wood, despite the extra $10K hit and see if I catch a fish”. After the order was placed, Tesla monkey gave it a EDD of March. Then this morning the...

The fact that your plaid+ conversion is out in Sept/Oct, it agrees with my SA estimate from the same internal secret source. Albeit I have white CF which hasn’t started delivery for anyone at this point. Sad that they won’t update EDD while we wait. I wonder what the logic is behind leaving...

We can dream. Hating every happy post on FB or TMC now as we wait. 🤪
