Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[1020hp]

I haven't seen any Model S in the lot with red calipers only the prototypes that were in the wild. If it was an imaging mistake that's a lot of images being mistaken even the model x has the same mistakes.

So what’s ur reasoning of model 3/y performance having received calipers and 120-140K car not having it? Lol

That's why I'm leaning towards this change not being a mistake. I like the new depiction of the headlights, and the darker finish on the Tempests and Arachinids, and maybe you could say that this change makes for a more 'stealthy' look. Still, it's going to take some to get used to.

Rather unfortunate the change of wheels 3 days before “first deliveries”. I would’ve chosen the new wheels instead of Arachnid had they been available because the silver didn’t pair well with the Red. They pair 10x better on the Red car than the silver wheels did.

Actually, I just thought of something: what if this is the new 'standard' Plaid, and there will be a 'Performance Upgrade package', or Track Pack that may or may not be announced at the delivery event. Maybe this would include that active spoiler we saw at Laguna Seca? Also maybe this could include those 200mph wheels as well...

Honestly dono probably streamline production which tesla always did. They already removed the Plaid+. if they have their painting thing just black it would definitely save time and production cost. I don't believe they care about their customers that much.

Maybe this is why no one has a VIN yet? You get to choose which config you want at the event!
Probably not though lol

We have seen so many ridiculous issues with the website in the last few weeks that it seems foolish for us to rely on it to provide an accurate representation. Sometimes the cars in our accounts don’t have wheels and appear to be up on blocks. Other times, the cars randomly change colors or angles or disappear altogether.

Every Plaid test mule we have seen had red calipers. Why would they change that three days before the reveal? It makes no sense unless there is a global shortage of red paint. Seems unlikely! We will see soon enough.

That would be surreal for sure. You never know with Tesla...

This may be slightly off topic, but the Model X Plaid also got its red calipers removed on the design studio and webpage. It seems as if this change is real for the S/X. The strange thing is that the Model 3 Performance, and the Model Y Performance both retain their red calipers.

It’s very confusing. Hopefully we learn why on Thursday.

Agreed!

Still no delivery information on my profile. Ya'll know how tempting it is to place another order right with black interior and wood trim? It's not what I wanted but it could get me my car this month.

I bet Elon personally screws up the website everyday, grabs popcorn and a cold beverage, opens TMC and gets a kick reading all the comments. Elon’s monkey is Elon. This will be the big reveal, “one more thing” on Thursday

So, on another topic, what do you guys think the top speed of the Model S Plaid will be without the special wheels and tires? >168 mph to spite Lucid, 163 mph to match the Plaid Model X, or something different?

Mine too but still no date.. If they can update the pic in our accounts, why can’t they give us delivery dates ?

Yup I think you’re right especially folks on the west coast.

Nice.. it looks like they have quite a few aero caps to change..

They’re the same wheels. The only difference is the silver aero caps are now black.. I was going to have the silver powder coated black and/or buy 20” TSportline.

still can't tell if there is a front camera under/above the front T logo or not..
