I went with the Plaid. It’s only a second quicker and I’m sure the sensation will wear off rather quickly to where I won’t even notice a difference in the LR and Plaid. However, I don’t want any regrets and I was afraid that I’d always wonder if I should have bought the quickest production car in the world when I had the chance, for a steep price difference, but not earth-shattering at this price-point. ...that is, at least for a year. By then the Plaid+ will be out and I will no longer have the quickest car.
Great list of benefits. Most of this is why I won’t mind if I could get an “older” one at the previous price or the new one at the new price. Although I do feel all the benefits of the new model are worth more then the $10K price increase. Based on all the posts from people with recent orders, like me, I am looking forward to getting my new toy.

Track is not street. How is it for doing a 3-point turn? Parallel parking?Here is a photo of my F1000 cockpit. Quick ratio steering with a steering wheel similar in concept to new Model S "Yoke"
I found it very easy to adapt to it. At the end of a day at the track, I got back into my F350 dually to haul it home. Never had a problem going from one steering wheel and steering ration to another and back again.

That is obvious. What is not yet clear is to what degree (no pun intended) the variable ratio steering will be implemented. If for example at parking lot speeds or below, the tation were in the neighborhood of 120 degrees lock-to-lock and at highway speeds 2 turns lock to lock with an appropriate adjustment curve between, I think it would be quite easy to drive at speed and also very easy to park.

Speed based variable ratio would likely need to be by wire. Assume still need to keep the mechanical linkage so would be a feat of engineering.
Yes, speed variable ratio steering has been around for decades. Electric assist and redundant manual override is well sorted. Big thing here is the potential for a much broader range of ratios with computer assistance.

I had Tesla refresh my order to the higher price less the $2k. If they would have called me and said we found a new older version of the S for the original price, I would have said no. Still hurts a lot with the price increase. But I keep looking at this picture and imagining it in my driveway.
Love the color and wheel combination. Great stance. The change to black trim really works on your package. Enjoy!

I was in the same boat. I figured out that the edit configuration button wouldn't show up in firefox, but showed up just fine in chrome. I didn't test every browser, but it is possible that the button won't show up in more than just firefox.
After switching to chrome, I was able to edit and accept config. My account then switched to showing the new model properly while still showing my same order number.
I wouldn't bother calling. I made 5 calls to account service and no one even bothered to try helping until the last call. They all said my local advisor would have to fix it, but he said he didn't know how.
Finally got the call that we'll get $2k off for the refresh. Much relieved.
Was mostly annoyed that my rep had tried to just convert my order at full price within minutes of the announcement, but he says should update with the new (discounted) price on the site within 48 hours and still have delivery priority.

Prior to the refresh announcement, had an order placed for a Model S Performance with a delivery window of February 10 to March 10. Within an hour of the Earnings Call, I updated the order to a LR Model S, identical to SoCalDude. The delivery window changed to February 17 to March 17. Contacted my Delivery Advisor regarding the Priority Delivery, $2k discount and original order price for FSD. The Delivery Advisor confirmed the price adjustments would impact my price but would not be reflected on my account until February 28, when the system will begin accepting the price adjustments. Reading between the lines, seems to me deliveries will not begin until March.
Lots of mixed feedback on the $2k showing up or not. Mine has been converted, but the $2k is not in there yet. Advisor says it will show up when I get a VIN. Others are seeing it already??
Also, when I view my order agreement, it now says my “order placed with electronically accepted terms” date is 1/30, not 1/10 as per original. That concerns me. Are others seeing their original order date? My RN# has not changed.

It shows the revised order date. You technically have revised your order so the order number remains.
The SA and Mgr confirmed that the $2k shows up at the end once a VIN and payment are set.

I'm hearing the same, and also same as the others on my reservation details. The $2k credit isn't here yet.
It will be interesting to hear about any VIN numbers being issued for refresh orders.
With model 3 when it was launching, there was a way to view the HTML on the reservation web page to see the VIN a few days early.
Has anyone tried that ?
