Plaid DELIVERED 8/4, Red/Cream+Wood/21"/FSD
Couldn’t disagree more. I didn’t need very much to be impressed—and definitely was so with V11! But, on what is launching as the world’s best production car ever made, I learned nothing that helps soothe the hurt from constant disappointments.
Like others here, I’m very much looking forward to taking delivery! But, in 3 years when it’s time to change, I don’t know if I’ll be getting in line for the Plaid+, Lucid, EQS, or something else. A lot of Tesla’s lead could erode away in 3 years.

Have you never watched to one of his last 10 presentations? They’re. All. Like. This. What were you expecting different? You’re saying he should leave the company because of his presentation skills? That is absurd. It wasn’t a fan boy answer, it was a level headed answer. I’m just as excited as every one of you about to take delivery in the coming weeks to months. Each delivery event in the past was… just like this delivery event. You let other fanboys and influencers hype your expectations to unrealistic proportions.
The big allure to Elon & Tesla is it’s not “another” car company, he feels more human than most, it comes with flaws. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
I can’t find a single mention or shot of the interior trim lighting. Surely I can’t be the only one who was deeply looking forward to that feature? I wonder if it is also “available but not active at delivery” sort of a thing.

MSLR 1/27/21 VIN MF443 Delivered 9/19/21!
Respectfully disagree. Will the Roadster, Cybertruck, Model S be huge revenue in drivers? Likely not. Will they be programs that allow Tesla to continue to innovate and stay a step ahead of the competition? Most certainly.
Most premium manufacturers have halo projects that get the tech advances first, and filter down to the more proletarian models. Plus those halo cars give the manufacturer street cred that filters down to the lowest model (that’s marketing for you).
Without the Roadster, CT and MS continued development Tesla in short order would be overtaken by the competition. And if there is one thing Elon won’t permit, it’s being an also ran.

Uhhhh he flew in on a private plane that takes off whenever he feels like. Him being late is his own fault.
Quite a few things that he could have done to not make this event a complete dud. For starters he could have further clarified how the gear selection will work if you want to do it manually, instead he left it up to the user to go look for that info. He could have let everyone know if there has been any changes to the steering to accommodate a yoke.
Could have provided more details on the cooling improvements, does that only affect the motors? Is there better cooling for the battery?
That’s just off the top of my tired head.

I don‘t disagree with you at all being late is his own fault.
How to do it manually has been documented in the past months ago when someone got to see a test mule, it’s in the how to videos now on the website, delivery advisors will be showing you. I’m sure you’ve seen the post about this since you’ve been active here.
Finding out more about driving experience with yoke would be nice sure, I just can’t think he can go through great detail about everything everyone would want. They went over the most important critical changes and foundational changes.

Lots of things have been documented in the test mules... things that haven’t transferred over to the production model.

Reading the manual:
- Active noise canceling works by using the microphones in the front two seats near the headrest and generates white noise to cancel out the noise.
- Trunk now has two buttons to unlatch the back seats which look nice.
- The trunk close button now matches what the Model X had for years.
- Yoke is heated.

The CT is not in my discussion nor should it be. That utility has yet to be proven and frankly it is not Halo. CT is long term viable for Tesla but competition will come quickly as you stated.
On the current timeline Tesla will be overtaken in performance (range, speed) but not in charging infrastructure. Maybe pride plays but maybe he lets it go if his words mean anything. (Laughs from the back of the room Im sure). Its all tea leaves but you wanna pick the year Roadster drops?

It probably went the way of the lumbar support in the M3..."no-one uses it"
