@boonedocks see what I am referring to re: the 19s! We shall see if all of these hold. Think @Drew-MS has a window as well.

For sure, I meant that I can look for obvious stuff right away but don't need to go over it with a microscope immediately.

I think the idea is to deliver as many units as possible, and let the owners and service centers deal with any quality control issues.

Congratulations on your new Plaid! Enjoy it and drive it in good health!
It hasn't been easy. It's been a long 10 days. I've just kept my chin up, been brave and put one foot in front of the other. Seriously though I can't even imagine my emotional state if the shoe were on the other foot.This is getting ridiculous at this point. People ordering and receiving their cars within a matter of 2-3 weeks and then there are people waiting for over 8 months. This is fuccking pathetic. Starting to get really mad at this shiit and hoping me being a cry baby will make Tesla process my order faster
To the people who are getting their cars in less than a month - how do ya live with yourselves ya pricks!
I do have a question for everyone. I get people wanting white and carbon fiber and went back and forth on that myself. I'm a bit curious about this preference for 19 in wheels given how beautiful the 21s are.
Is this because people are very sensitive to range? Or, just don't see the value in the forged 21s? Or, plan on spending big money upgrading to HRE or something exotic?

Much better range. Better acceleration. Better ride quality. Literally the ONLY reason for the 21s is vanity. Everything else is a negative.

Each of the deliveries will then get pushed further by at least 2 weeks
You do get better range with the 19". Ride quality is virtually on par with both, 21" has better acceleration and by far better handling, and obviously better looks. As someone who had both stock 19" and arachnid setup, switching out to 21" was like getting a new car, better in every way. Everyone who disagrees is trying to justinfy not spending the extra $...

Money is no object for me. Don't wrongly guess at my motives; it's embarrassing for you. I am pretty annoyed by this forum's pretty ugly habit of config-shaming other buyers (regarding Plaid and 19s, mostly).
The 19s will accelerate faster and have better ride quality, although the difference is admittedly marginal. (the range is important because we take my car on 600-mile road trips every year, and the destination is remote and not near any superchargers)

I think that there are many of us that would have "accepted" 21" wheels if Tesla had been honest and communicated with us in the beginning.
I would have been okay with 21" wheels if I had known I would be 8 months into my order and NOT EVEN a been given a WildAssGuess as to when I will see my car.
This whole process has been the epitome of an "abusive relationship" from seeing drone flyovers at the factory of 19" wheel cars...to seeing Tesla change the color on the new order screen....to it will be here soon...to now some orders as old as October 2020 having nothing but "we will reach out to you" being the only delivery information on their account.
Even as of this week my SA reached out to me and said "new orders are showing March-*** 2022" .... like that helps me in any way?
Just completely pathetic at this point.
