seems to be significant movement on 19" orders.
Mine hasn't budged though (Black ext / White int / CF / 19" wheels, RN11394xxxx)
It still just says "July" with no VIN. I guess I'd better call my SC and ask what time i'm picking it up tomorrow.

Well, if this is true, it is both excellent (19s) and depressing (my RN is 11444 no date/VIN). Gratz!

Nice way to rub salt on the wounds of some of our fellow members waiting since eternity.
And ruin my meme??Yea, we're all basically in the same boat in terms of waiting on "deliverable time" as that only started in June. But, with the latest updates to EDD on new builds, I think it will still be a bumpy ride for July orders.
Welcome! There are tissues in the back, hugs available as needed, and cookies from time to time. My name is HumanInput and it's been 311 days since my order was submitted.

Unless this is sarcasm, I disagree. I know Plaid owners are stupid to pay 50k$ extra for just one second. But I doubt there are people stupid enough to pay 50k$ extra for 1 second but have no interest in that second.
If someone simply wants to show off, a Plaid badge and a carbon wing will trick everyone and will cost the LR owner a few 100$ top.
I would challenge that you are paying 50K for that. Unlike most cars, Tesla are presently (and this might change) depreciating at a very slow pace and not (to my eye) an a basis that is relative to cost but more a set loss per year. If this holds the actual additional cost of the Plaid may be negligible. Ok - that's my irrational justification...
Sure, although there are folks here that know more than me, so I am sure they will flesh this out:
- Most strips will have a day set aside for street legal racing--the day is split into qualifying/test runs and then eliminations later in the evening
- No special license. Minimally, you need long pants, close toes shoes, a shirt with sleeves, an SFI jacket, and a full face helmet rated by Snell or SFI
- You show up, they will do a tech check (not an issue for our cars), sign a waiver and give them your money -- $20 seems typical, then they will line you up in a lane to race--some places will have EV-specific lanes, but with our cars, its fun to line up against the ICE cars
- At our track, someone will take you through an orientation on how to stage, understanding the Christmas tree, etc. It is not all that complicated to understand, but difficult to master the timing of the tree
- They do put something on the track to help stickiness. In my case, it made my 0-60 times worse than I have been getting on my usual backroad, so YMMV
- Trying to pull of a Cheetah stance is tough to pull of because, as soon as both cars are staged, they will kick-off the Christmas tree, so you might not have time to fully get into launch stance. My advice: if you jsut want to race cars, just mash the pedal and don't worry about the cheetah stance. If you want to test your car, do the full launch and don't worry about the fact the other guy/gal took off
-- you don't have to launch when the light turns green - One final thing: there is an area behind where you stage where that they will wet down with a hose--this is for folks wanting to do a burnout to warm their tires. You want to drive around that area (there is space) and not get water on your tires.

So as punishment for checking my account page—or maybe for discussing game theory and economics in this forum—I have learned that:
I hereby place myself before whoever is messing with my life: JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DISPLEASE YOU?! ARGH!!!!!
- I *still* don't have my new trade-in value
- my EDD has disappeared after being 8/12-8/26 for quite a while now.

Looks like we have the same Plaid, Blue, Black, CF, 21's. What is the prefix of your order number?
For everyone talking about taking their car to the dragstrip/track, etc.

If we start seeing movement on the 19s I am certain the lot with 450+ refresh S with silver tempest wheels will start to look empty pretty soon. Looking forward to seeing a change on my account and seeing others receive the dusty cars from the logistic lot

The LR has a very strong regen as well. Love it. Drive 15 miles to the office and can do it not touching the brakes
True, but given the car has a built in "drag strip mode" I'd argue you'd be using the car as designed

Just wait till a few years from now, when you rent an ICE vehicle, and you rear end someone because all you did was let off the accelerator when they hit their brakes.
