Elon says AWD and Perf orders start at end of next week!

[Gear]

Can anybody explain what this line in Elon's tweet means exactly? "Performance drive units are lot sorted for highest sigma output & get double the burn-in."

I would guess this means that they choose only units that are some number of standard deviations (sigma) better than the mean and then they do a longer initial (burn in) test to make sure they can take the added load and won’t fail due to infant mortality.

It means M3P and M3 get the same rear motors but M3P will get the ones that happen to have a higher output rating (you can make a motor with the same specifications but randomly some have higher power and others less) then they will be tested twice as much. Say standard motor is tested for 10 minutes to make sure all the components are good then M3P will have the motor tested 20 minutes.

Thanks, guys!

Did anyone else notice the difference between website vs mobile website that just happened?

On the website (i.e. on the computer): First production : Ready to configure, AWD: Mid'18, SR: Late'18
On the mobile website (i.e. browser on phone): First production: Ready to configure, AWD: Late'18, SR: Early'19

My mobile and web are identical.

Mine seems to look the same in both places?

Same.

Garlan, how late are you staying up waiting tonight?

Plus maybe a different front motor

Don't know lol...

I'm going to try and wait it out.....lol

Elon time again.

Harley-Davidson has been setting aside their best testing motors for years. They put them in their CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) high end lineup of their bikes.

Tesla will be doing the same. Some motors come down the line, performing better than others. These will be culled out and the best ones will be installed into their High Performance versions.

This looks like the difference between the actual order page and the old delivery estimate page.

I think the Chrome screenshot is indicating when production will start and the Mobile screenshot is indicating Tesla's estimated delivery for your particular situation. Those look like two different underlying web pages.

Try emptying the cache of your phones internet browser.

Aahaa, good catch. You are right. Rechecked on mobile and selected the config and thereafter it showed up identical to the web browser.

Thanks.

Your mobile screenshot is of the delivery estimator, while your desktop is the design studio.

Only if some web developer can push the release button and bring the wait to its logical conclusion. It's 1:35 AM here on the east coast.

I think Elon just wants some sympathy for all his nights burning the midnight oil - now everyone else is staying up late for a change. He's probably watching this thread and laughing, "Suckers!"
