We are new to Tesla but this forum is catching me up on the SOP. We ordered LR in Jan for estimated Feb delivery since our current car was showing signs of EOL. Nursed our car along but now it's dead. Didn't really want or need the Plaid but put in a Plaid order two weeks ago, in case we can get it much sooner, LR gets delayed even further because parts shortages causes priority to Plaid, or the potential "LR does not ship because did not meet Tesla standards." Seems like increase in raw materials and component shortages might bring LR shipment to a crawl or even get cancelled with our only consolation being a $100 refund or worse yet, a $100 coupon toward purchase of a plaid. So as to not get strung along and leading to eventual disappointment, we order the plaid as well. Took off FSD and extended warranty to get the price into our wheelhouse. Still hoping for the LR in August at least, but if something crazy comes up on the 10th we have our back up plan.
