I regularly see something like “# events recorded” in my dashboard screen, click the dashcam viewer, and see no sentry events there. Is this happening to anyone else?

Lol. Fair point. I asked because the launch videos I see don't seem to have this issue. Most launches look smoother than mine do. I'm on the summer tires that come with the arachnids. Temperature is high 50s.

Hi all, picked up my Plaid yesterday. It's incredible. When I launch in plaid mode (not in drag strip mode--I haven't used that yet), I always lose traction at the very start of the launch. Basically it feels like the car is just too powerful for the tires to maintain contact with the road. Is...

I got a vin! Delivery date window: October 25-31 (from 11/17-12-25). Vin is an M. Ordered March 2021. RN1146, Plaid/white/white/CF/21s.

I’m suddenly forgetting everything I’ve been planning for. Do I wait until I get a firm delivery date before I apply for a DCU loan? Why does my master agreement say that my amount due is $0?

I got a vin! Delivery date window: October 25-31 (from 11/17-12-25). How do I figure out whether it’s been sitting on the lot for four months? It’s an MF vin, not N. RN1146, Plaid/white/white/CF/21s

You've got my exact configuration. But I'm an RN1146 (ordered early March). And my EDD just got pushed back to 11/27-12/25. Makes no sense.

My RN1146 just moved from Oct. 11 - Oct. 31 to Nov. 27 - Dec. 25. Plaid/White/White/CF. I feel like I've tolerated the delays pretty well, but this one does sting.

My RN1146 just moved from Oct. 11 - Oct. 31 to Nov. 27 - Dec. 25. Yeeeeoucch. That one hurts. Plaid/White/White/CF

Congrats. You've got my exact build, but I'm an RN1146. Hope this means my turn is coming soon.

I was surprised to hear his comment that the backup camera resolution is low--even worse than older Tesla models. Is that true?

For anyone looking for the Torx screwdriver he uses in this video, it's a Tekton: https://www.tekton.com/t27-torx-x-4-inch-screwdriver-chrome-dht31270 (also comes in black oxide finish like in the video) Edit: He also mentions that a T25 might be a better fit...

Ha, well, I hope your date sticks and mine moves up, too!

@sflgator I think you stole my car! My date just got bumped from 9/20-9/30 to 11/19-12/09. 😞 Edit: Or did you steal the car back that I stole from you? 🤔

Might as well cross-post this here, too. As you can see, my joy has turned to ashes in my mouth... My local Tesla gallery just called to offer me a Plaid/white/black/cf/21 Model S right now. I figured since my EDD just got updated to September 20-September 30, it wasn't worth it. So I asked him...

My local Tesla gallery just called to offer me a Plaid/white/black/cf/21 Model S right now. I figured since my EDD just got updated to September 20-September 30, it wasn't worth it. So I asked him to check on his end what my delivery date shows. He says, "Well... I'm seeing it differently on my...

Ha. No offense intended! I think I'm a little bit crazy for getting the Plaid since the LR is such an incredible value, but I'm just going with the crazy.

Nice! I assume the EDD difference is Plaid vs LR.

March 8. RN1146.

My delivery estimate just jumped from November 20 - December 10 to September 20 - September 30. Fingers crossed they mean this year. Plaid/white/white/cf/21s. March 8 order date. RN1146.

My delivery estimate just jumped from November 20 - December 10 to September 20 - September 30. Plaid/white/white/cf/21s

RN11460 - Plaid | White | White | CF | 21s | FSD Estimated Delivery: November 21 - December 11

I ordered my MS Plaid White/White/CF/21"/FSD in March and I have the same delivery date range as you exactly. I'm in MI. Two very different MSes, but same delivery window. 🤔

I'm basically in the same boat, except with 21s and a few months later (1146xxx). I've seen a couple hours on a few different days with delivery dates, but I've otherwise been blank about 99% of the time since my order in March.

I ordered a Plaid/white/white/CF/arachnid/FSD in March 2021. Other than a delivery date range that appeared for about 1 day in April and for about 2 hours in late May, I've been blank. I check every, oh, 5 minutes so I would know. 🤣 I'm in Michigan, if it makes a difference. I've enjoyed...

Are you sure the insurance info is needed to get a delivery date? The page says proof of insurance is required to “take” delivery, not arrange delivery.

Great to see. Thanks for doing this!

Yeah, oh I would too, but apparently I've been told that "normal" acceleration for me is "flooring it" for others.

Lol, trust me, I know. She's just intimidated by the power. She'll even be more comfortable with me driving her around if I show her I've put it in Chill mode and can't spontaneously break her neck with a 2.1 second 0-60 launch.

Can anyone with a Plaid say what the 0-60 time is for the car in Chill or Sport mode? My wife is not interested in Plaid speed, so I want to reassure her that she can tame the car a bit when she's driving.

By what mechanism are you (and others) getting texts from Tesla at all? I never get texts from Tesla. On that same note, is it a normal thing to have the personal phone numbers of Tesla SAs for texting? I see lots of people posting text exchanges with SAs. I have a local gallery that I've been...

Well, I prefer driving a sedan to an SUV (and I much prefer the look of the S to the X), and I know my young kids would LOVE the jump seats.

Can anyone who has taken delivery (or might otherwise know) say whether it appears that the Model S can be retrofitted with jump seats? Elon tweeted a few times that the Plaid would be the fastest 7-seater ever, but I haven't heard a word about it since. I'd love it if this were an option! I'm...

If you finance, you still have the option to sell your car after 3 years...

Ddawn, thanks for that analysis. What is your take on open-ended leases? I live in a state that does not allow Tesla leasing. It appears that if I want to lease, I can only get an open-end lease.
