are those 19" Tempest wheels on the vehicle next to you? Do I trust my eyes?

There's no question there's a ton of dirt bags in the industry. As a former PI attorney (plaintiff and defense), I will say when you go to a restaurant, etc. and see a yellow line by the stairs to the bathroom, etc. chances are good it may have been too dim, somebody fell, maybe the restaurant got hit with a lawsuit, but now with that yellow line, maybe a new bannister and better lighting, perhaps the next guy won't fall.
At the same time, a lot of the US laws are baffling. I think the smart headlights on my past few German cars have been crippled in the US and can't do the smart stuff they can in Europe; I read somewhere the US auto light regulations are like 100 pages long, something crazy like that.
I'd also love to know what happened with this car - I doubt it just spontaneously combusted (but I don't know the facts) but I think if there was a real chance of that, all the refreshed and possibly prior S's, maybe other models would be recalled, big time.
Did the driver damage the batteries or undercarriage?
Was he a target of arson?
Did he drop a lit cigar in the car and looking for his insurance to cover the fire?
Was it a build issue, that is either common, or a unique set of circumstances to this car?
Will I ever get a VIN?
These are pressing questions!!!!!

Your white interior is making my mouth water!!! I was thinking of switching to cream to get the car sooner, but no, I'm going to wait for what I wanted, those white photos sealed the deal!
Why are the models combined? I always seem to see the 3 and Y and S and X together1,890 S deliveries this quarter. More than I thought.

You beat me. I need to be less controversial.I’d like to take a moment to appreciate this GROUNDBREAKING moment. 2000 upvotes - I really appreciate your support!
I’m not going to forget you guys and quickly disappear now that I have my car. I’m going to show my appreciation by providing full draggy results as soon as I get home.
Maybe a ‘de-badged’ plaid can be a sleeper especially with the black calipers.
It’s funny how the tiny badge removed is the difference between me living a quiet peaceful life compared to a not so quiet ‘fast and furious’ type of life.

Interesting, they produced 2,340 and delivered 1,890. This leaves 450 cars produced but not delivered. Are most of those still sitting in that lot in Fremont, or do you guys think these are just cars that are still in transit?1,890 S deliveries this quarter. More than I thought.

Question regarding "Self-presenting" door handles: Are they supposed to pop out when I approach the car with my key (phone)? The handles come out only when I tap on them.

I would definitely hate that. It makes me car sick. I don't know what changed for me but a few months ago all of a sudden I could not tolerate the excessive regen braking because it made me car sick. Never used to happen before. I had to switch to standard regen braking which worked perfectly even for passengers because honestly Teslas have a tendency to make passengers get extremely car sick much more often than other cars. May be I need to relearn the one pedal driving but knowing that it's removed now makes me not to look forward to itI think at this point, Tesla has pulled the low regen option of all cars.
To my knowledge, Tesla has always reported them this way. Perhaps to make it more difficult to see lagging or increasing demand from one vs the other.
But since they didn’t deliver any refreshed X’s that im aware of, this makes it easy to see just the S deliveries.

Check your settings. There is an auto present option. I actually turned mine off so that way they are not always presenting when I walk by.
Those are Y wheels.
Wow from our spreadsheet, these numbers tell us there are a lot of Tesla folks not on TMC
.. probably a combination of both.

I was wondering about the same. I spent a good deal of time looking for that setting but couldn't find it.
My wife drove an EV for the first time yesterday and she was super happy with the yoke but pissed with high amount of regen

This will piss off my passengers. I am not looking forward to it. It's ****ed up honestly. For some reason female passengers get car sick really easily due to regen. I myself get car sick because of it. **** this, I am not buying a Plaid now. It's not like my experience was any better before finding out about thisI was wondering about the same. I spent a good deal of time looking for that setting but couldn't find it.
