Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[tconvert]

One thing I know is if I don't get my Plaid this week or next with these folks who ordered much later, I will be canceling. The plaid+fsd I was already questioning the all in price at ~146K. This will be all the reason I need to cancel it.

Also, it seems that the Plaid no longer gets red brake calipers.

I don't know what to think of that decision...

And black calipers, instead of red..

Try the acceleration will help you put space between y’all and a drunk driver. Can you really put a price on safety??

Or the extra acceleration could have you hit that drunk driver harder.

I wonder if it's a bug and they desaturated the images?

I doubt it... it's on the front page too.

Those tempest covers are def better looking but with that sight change and the red calipers missing for the plaid, makes you think this maybe an error. Way too many produced with the old silver color and no way they don't have the signature red paint on them.

It's weird right? I sure hope those calipers aren't really gone.

You're right. That's an odd decision. Did they run out of caliper paint?

This has to be one of Tesla's stranger decisions lately...

 

[MattCharleston]

How could they change the base wheels when a ton of them in the lot are the older style... This is so frustrating! I want to switch but I'm not sure they'll keep these. Maybe tomorrow they'll be yellow! Wth!

Now that I've seen this, I will not take delivery of those ugly ass silver wheels. But this just shows you this company does zero planning. It's whatever Elon thought up today.

I mean removing the red calipers? That was like one of the 'really fast Tesla' hallmarks.

 

[Drew-MS]

Wow those look way better!!

100% .. the first thing I was planning was to get the caps powder coated.

Also, it seems that the Plaid no longer gets red brake calipers.

ughhh why would they do that? Maybe it’s not showing on the site temporarily due to the changes with the new color caps.

I think they are just messing up the webpage tonight. They'll fix it when they see what they did. Just look at these two photos. Red calipers on LR and black on Plaid. I think they just got their wires crossed.

I sure hope so.... that would be actually pretty funny if tomorrow, everything's back to normal. It's like what kind of hangover was the webmaster experiencing....

You’re right... I’ve noticed the Arachnids out in the wild lately looked darker than the pics on the site. I guess they didn’t update the site until now.

 

[AnselmDante]

Looks like they changed these too...
