I honestly think it is just lighting/angles. For instance, the red and white ones don't have color matched...that would be obvious. That said, MSM may be difficult to distinguish between black and body color. I bet what you see (and i see it too) as "matched color" is just the angle.

I just received a call from Tesla in Fremont. The person said he was from Tesla Owner Loyalty and offered to pivot my Plaid+ order to a Plaid order that could be delivered as soon as next month (June). I told him I just bought my current S in December and if there is no financial incentive to take the Plaid then I'll just wait for the +. He mentioned that there are a lot of people doing the same and that there was no incentive other than being able to have the Plaid very soon.

So can we assume that Plaids are being delivered before LRs? Some people have dates for LRs, but I just lost the date for my Plaid order which bounced back and forth between June and August, but now it's blank with the "we will reach out to you…" message.
Best to not get the earliest shipment. Give them time to work out the kinks.
In the meantime, hope for the EV credit bill to pass as it stands now.

I feel the same way, i assumed when i ordered this would be a easy/highly produced number... I might have assumed incorrectly.

DELIVERED
If it matters for anything... I did buy the 21" wheels and white interior. So although semi "basic" i did add a little extra
As it stands now for the EV bill you wouldnt get a creditBest to not get the earliest shipment. Give them time to work out the kinks.

That's what I was thinking. Surely there are enough plaid orders to keep Tesla busy for a couple of months, right?

600+ cars… looks promising for June delivery. My ETD is missing… earlier it was August.

MS LR (refresh) Blue/Black/21s/FSD
Highly unlikely. White is the most common color for low-end cars, mainly people who aren’t very interested in cars and just want a very basic, economical thing. That’s not who is buying a Model S.

I have FSD ($10k option), white/black/CF interior option (extra $$) and upgraded 21” wheels (extra $$) but white ext color. My MS Plaid came out to $146k+ w/ FL tax so sorry I don’t think the extra $1500 or whatever for another ext color should push my order further out than others.

I disagree and we have the stats to prove that your theory is inaccurate. Just look at the refreshed Model S tracking sheet and you will see that White is 25% of the orders and the second most popular color after MSM

You’re wrong. Sorry but I’ve had black, gunmetal grey, silver, other color and white vehicles in the past. White is actually best for the S FL’s heat year round and stays clean better than any other color. That’s why white is the most popular vehicle color in the state; has nothing to do with it looking plain or whatever…nothing “low end” about the color.

I am new to Teslas but wasn't there a white not too long ago which was an add-on option of $2000-2500? Was it different than the white currently on offer?
Likewise, I remember black being the "free" color while others were an added option.
