The difference between MS and MS Plaid was 15k, so feels like this just aligns with that pricing.

If I recall the full context, the driver was loading something in the trunk, was taking a step toward the front door and they had the auto present on which detected him near and flew open. 😅

Personally, I think it not opening wide is fine. I do wish it disengaged the motors faster. As cool as it is for it to open wide for you, I've seen a few videos where the Xs were parallel parked, and it can easily open wide and smack into oncoming traffic, so I'd rather it just be a smoother...

Maybe 10/4 build and misread the 4th as the month.

That’s a required fee on all cars regardless where you pick up unfortunately.

That spreadsheet is all off these days. I just didn't bother fixing that. Doubt anyone knows the production start/end date officially without explicitly asking.

Black.

Yea, it's possible. I was high 418s.

@awd_rails Picked up and it's an October build for my MXP VIN 418xxx. Panel alignment is solid, everything else looks pretty good. There is some excess material from some of the seals on the passenger side C pillar near the trunk, but overall I'm very pleased with the quality, especially...

You're the first 419 I've seen. That's likely an October build.

Yea, I wouldn’t mind if the Plaid went back up to 120k after I took delivery 😝

Nothing lol. But I haven't seen anyone post 419s yet, so these are the latest builds. I think I remember seeing 416 or 417s with mid-late Sept build dates. I'm guessing these are either tail end of Sept, or like October 1-2 build dates.

418.

Looks like the latest Plaid VIN assignments are likely already built. I didn't have the delivery date set yet, but I just texted them and asked if I could pickup at the factory instead of Sunnyvale and they said the car is ready tomorrow if I want to come to the factory. I know @awd_rails is...

I think this is probably the reason. Wouldn't be surprised to see them jack up prices again for refreshed M3.

Yea, I imagine it all adds up - bigger battery, FWDs, air suspension, motorized front doors etc. Not even including the extra assembly labor time.

Did anyone notice the pricing breakdown is 70k for Model X and $19,999 for Plaid option? I guess it's easier to adjust the base price than the options?

Nice. Seems a bunch of us are probably in the same batch. My EDD just updated to an even tighter window now. 10/6-10/13.

I'm going to drive over to ngng and ask him to help me then once I take delivery 😆

Surprised you don't have a VIN yet. My window just tightened up from what yours was to 10/5-10/14 now.

Would the SAs even know?

I didn't go double check, but are people getting assigned VINs with order dates 9/5?

Is there any disadvantages to shimming this yourself (ie. warranty etc.)?

9/1 Order - MXP Plaid Ultra Red 20" 10/5 - VIN just assigned this morning. Still 2023 it looks like.

You should have seen the forums during Covid. 1 year waits. They really bonded. We're here for like 3 weeks 😆

Always reminds me of if Robocop transformed into a car. But I gotta hand it to them, inside fit and finish is pretty nice.

No you will get whatever the credit is in 2024 which could be lower or the same depending if Tesla meets the new 2024 requirements for full credit.

Guy was posting every day and now mysteriously gone 🤔. Probably having too much fun driving.

Slowly on the way to EDD10…

Feels like they are prioritize assigning one’s furthest away on the east coast first and a sprinkle of some near the factory.

I don’t think we will see 2024s until November VIN assignments. That seemed like the timing last year. European bound ones were getting the VINs in October, but for US based November.

Maybe this one is the one you rejected. Did you have 20"? https://www.tesla.com/mx/order/7SAX222_e26fbd2546910d89e014e165f85196ff

For some reason when I see your picture, it almost looks like you have a bumper camera...

lol, it’s going to just keep moving that first date up every day no VIN is assigned unless it reaches 23rd first. 😆

Yes, but the previous issue was that people were seeing DMV using 140k msrp for the Plaid as the registration fee basis. So the fees were $300-400 more I think.

Thanks for the data point. That sounds promising that CA DMV has updated.

Wondering if they are still using the MSRP from last year at the CA DMVs? Anyone that took delivery recently confirm the amount?

Was it really that early? Looks like 3/S were later.

Waited this long I wish it was further out so I guaranteed a 2024 too 😂

Just checked mine and it is updated from 10/5-11/9 -> 10/2 - 10/20. MXP Ultra Red. Looks like a batch of Plaids coming soon.

How are the new tires?

Was this a new build? I thought Conti A/S were the factory tires.

Let's all do it. Collective willing.

Or had multiple rejects the past few days 😆

R.

Ah ok, I also got a Plaid Red and ordered closer to 7pm. Must have been a bunch of orders between us. Is your VIN 417xxx?

Did you order early in the day 9/1?

Would you feel FOMO if they raised it 10k?

My guess is because consumers are viewing them more like smartphones versus traditional vehicles.
