They said they dont know how long it will take.... omg. They said less than a week hopefully hahahaSo I take it that they can't deliver it today?

This makes no sense. Why is it okay for @omarsultan and @Atomadam to be driving around with software that would prevent regular orders from taking delivery?

Over The Air - just the normal software updates everyone gets. *i was kidding

Just spoke to my SA. He didn’t know much. But I asked him when my LR would be done. He didn’t know. I asked him if even a single LR had been delivered nationwide. He said he didn’t think so. I asked him how many folks in Utah (where I’m from) ordered a MS LR. He said 60 give or take. He said the mountain west will get some after Californian and the east coast

Additionally guys, here is a very interesting Motor Trend article that states that the Arachnids ARE indeed the 200mph wheels and tires. My guess is that the ZeroG wheels can also do 200, but are much more track-focused:
What You Need to Go 200 MPH in a Model S Plaid
Like so many things Tesla, you can't—yet. Here's why.www.motortrend.com
Yes, the hubcaps are only rated to 155mph.
If this article is accurate, then the Arachnids may indeed be forged and not cast as some have speculated.
Reading the tea leaves here, Tesla may have pulled back on trying to deliver these before the end of the quarter. There may just be too many small software issues preventing wider release.
I know that some folks have plaid in their possession, but there might be a Tesla engineer logged into their cars and constantly adjusting settings as they drive.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Or, to save costs, they may be flow-formed, like the M3P wheels are. Either that, or these are some damn strong cast wheels!Yes, the hubcaps are only rated to 155mph.

This makes absolutely no sense unless Tesla is worried about new Plaids getting tested on YouTube and underperforming the marketing numbers. Are they trying to tweak the acceleration profile or performance aspects of the car? The cars that have already been delivered don’t appear to have any safety issues, or the buyers would have been contacted. I can’t believe a software update is going to holdup the delivery of EOQ Plaids. This makes no sense in true Tesla style!
Guys, if they put another 250 Plaids on the road, the chances of a Plaid Mode Spontaneous Combustion Event would increase 250x as well. Thats why they are holding off for now. Bless Omar and Adam for being so brave!

Lol that’s me. I posted that here as well. Just trying to get some information and I guess from what someone said it’s a firmware update?

Agreed - and you may want to stay away from their cars for the next week or two - just sayin'

I seriously doubt it's any issues with the battery. Probably more likely that its software tweaks that are easier to do before the cars are delivered, but possible to do OTA.
I just got a call saying my car can be picked up today at 3pm. I was originally planning on getting it tomorrow. No software issues or other issues were noted.
I know this was 40 pages ago but... I tried to mimic Omar's 62-90% charge on my '17 P100D this morning. I don't have that specific app just old fashioned pen and paper (ok,ok, notepad on the phone LOL) but I came up with-
62-90% @ 25 minutes starting at 75kWh. It was down to 35kWh at 90%. Current 90% range is 250ish and 100 is only 278
I was surprised it was that close, however.... With my range I only added 78 miles in that time while if I did the math with the numbers we know from the Plaid it added around 110 miles... That's a big difference to me as I plan on traveling with the car.
*2017 P100D with 61k miles. Bought used just over a year ago with 45k so supercharge usage is unknown. Outside temp 80 degrees. V2 charger.

All software updates are done OTA regardless of whether the car is at the delivery center or in your garage.

CF or wood. I think it's important people add that when they describe their order.
