I had dropped a note to my SA to swap my Plaid wheels to 19” before the price hike. He didn’t get to it until today. I was afraid I will be hit with the new price but thankfully the Order Agreement still shows original price on it after the wheels change.

Who cares? Bar opens at 7...

Good point. My bar opens as soon as I'm off work!

I can see the reviews tomorrow. "Accelerates faster than my brain can process, Ride is amazing. Car is gorgeous. Could only hit 187 MPH on I-95 during rush hour. 3/5 stars.

Clickbait Fred, nothing new

I would LOVE for Elon to work “*sugar*” into his remarks tonight.

This is the problem I have with journalists sometimes. That info was available on the evening of January 27, and they just now noticed it! It's like they don't even go to the Model S webpage! It's the same thing with their carbon-sleeved motor rotors. If you scroll down, you can see that these will enable the motors to make peak power all the way up to top speed. THIS IS HUGE! But all except one or two people actually noticed this! It just goes to show that if you going to do something, it's usually done better yourself.

Freddy said he is a blogger not a journalist, due diligence not required

I have an irrational hatred of Microsoft that goes all the way back to when Windows 95 auto deleted Netscape Navigator and replaced it with Explorer. I'm an avid gamer that has pretty much owned everything back to the Atari 2600, with the exception of any Xbox. Enough of that. This rant is definitely for a different forum.

This is the perfect form for that. This is kind of the open topic thread

EV and Tesla journalism has a low bar--mostly is seems to be trawling TMC, Reddit and Elon on Twitter

I wasn't directly referring to Elektrek, but rather other people who are journalists. You'd think that even hardcore Tesla fans would spot these things sooner, especially if its right in front of them.

Sadly majority of the mass media writes article and headline for clicks

That would surely be a nice surprise ... and would explain the price increase ... but unless they have kept it a big secret, they haven't even duplicated their development line to make more cells yet, still tweaking the machine, etc ...

My own view is that Tesla secretly plans to put the 4680 cells on the Plaid even though they marketed the "Long Range" as having higher range and even though they said the 4680 cells were a year away. It makes total sense when you connect the dots, the dots being that Tesla raised the price of the Plaid and cancelled the Plaid+.

Do you think our delivery estimates will update tonight during the event? For those that have been around the block before with this, how does that typically work?

Why would tonight be any different? Most Delivery Estimates are constantly updated. The date moves forward and back and for some of us... It just disappears. I haven't had a delivery estimate for over a month.

To answer your question: It is apparent that Tesla is putting all Plaid orders a priority. So you should get a delivery date soon.

But what about us LR buyers? Would be nice that Tesla would show us some love.

Agreed!

They don't care about those of us buying their $80K peasantmobile.

There are plenty of Plaid reservation holders with blank dates. My Plaid orders had a June delivery date for the first 24 hours after order placement. Since that time they have been completely BLANK!

Besides two forum members, Tesla isn’t really showing any of us some love!

Surprised nobody has mentioned it (so far as I know) - Starlink accessibility a possibility?
