Wiki Model S Delivery Update

I see some plaids with black calipers

 

[EndlessPlaid]

The EPA range listed of 405 miles does not include testing with the 21" wheels... the base 19" wheels are used for the test.

This is LR. The window sticker was for a Plaid. 350 miles with 21s was the old rating.

How did they get another 65 miles without 4680's? That bodes well for the new cells!

The 4680 cells increase range by 16% for any given size pack. Right on the money!

Several things going for it. Lighter weight, less drag, new battery architecture, elons special pixie dust, etc.

Does not necessarily mean 4680. Those boosted the plaid into the 550 range.

265's on the front? I thought they were going to be 245's or was that the LR? What size are the plaid rears? I heard 295?

it’s getting late on the East Coast, hoping this is going to be like the Oscars... Elon Musk ‘In recognition of his tireless and selfless work on the Tesla Motor Club Model S Delivery Update Forum I am honored to present one of the first Model S Plaids to @omarsultan, please come to the stage to accept you car.’ .... @omarsultan ‘Thank you Elon, thank you Tesla. It is with great pride that I accept these keys (are we getting key fobs or is it just the credit card, whatever, irrelevant for this story). It is with great pride that I accept these ‘keys’. I would like to thank my family and friends for sticking by me through the highs and lows of this process, I’d like to thank monkey for actually getting me a delivery date that stuck. Most importantly I’d like to thank the team at the Model S Delivery Forum who have been with me through thick and thin (mostly thin and lots of sugar), I accept these keys on behalf of them all and a special shout out to the down trodden and forgotten LR guys, your time will come!‘ ... that’s what I want to hear ... come on @omarsultan make us proud!!!!

Hilarious!!
I thought it was a FOB though?

I wonder if after the event they’ll update the website to reflect the new range estimates?

Yes, rear tires on 21" are 295's. WIDE!

Good point... the range delta is 40 miles for 19" vs. 21" wheels with an estimated range of 350 vs. 390 miles

I would guess so, but ??

Seems like 4% range improvement, so LR should be 428 hopefullly…
