Random number generator....Yea it really doesn’t make sense I ordered not long ago compared to most people on here but got in before the price increase so I can’t say they go by who ordered first or who’s paying more
Is it when it unlocks or locks? The former is normal - especially after sitting for a while. My quoted post, you said unlocks. Your original post was saying when it locks.

Maybe he has a life?!
He's proven that isn't the case.
I asked a service center today about a white / black / 21s that is still sitting with transportation tape three weeks later. They state it is still being held for a customer.
Another delivery!
My SA called me yesterday and helped finalize everything and got me an earlier appointment to pick up today. Super smooth delivery, everything was setup for me and my car was pristine! It was missing a little black nob on the hatch and the Delivery rep scrounged one up while I was setting up my profile.
Initial thoughts;
-OMG the car is so quick I can’t imagine what you Plaid people are working with. The LR is fantastic.
-I love the yoke, this is what the steering wheel should have been like from the beginning. I got it setup in a perfect position for max comfort and drivability.
Totally worth the wait. This being my first new car and first Tesla I had lowered my expectations from some of the issues pointed out and n this thread but dang this car is slick.
I will schedule service next week as the car is pulling to the right a bit otherwise zero issues. Also scheduled for some personalization next week.

Okay, so this is for everyone STILL WAITING for their MS Plaid orders like me @umair239 @Aleks0404 and others. A super nice local gentleman here on TMC was kind enough to reach out to me to ask me if I wanted to meet with him and take a look & drive his brand new MS Plaid. I'll let him decide if he wants to be identified and respond to my post, but for now, I'll just THANK YOU again...much appreciated as it helped me to confirm my thoughts and understand that this EV is indeed worth waiting for! 
It was truly a pleasure meeting with and spending some time with this gentleman and his new Tesla MS Plaid. Cheers my friend!!!! Here are my initial thoughts and impressions:
First on the performance: Amazing as everyone says; pulls like no other at any speed. Like the GT-R but x 2 and silent and buttery smooth as an EV should be. But, you and your face, lol will "feel" the g-forces (> 1g) when you step the accelerator to the floor! Quiet and easy to drive. Super stable at any speed and yes, as everyone has already said, it pulls like a freight train no matter what speed you're starting from when you hammer it...better get ready just before you nail it!
Second on the technology & driving settings: Personally, I like Sport steering mode (seems to have the best for control and tight steering) and I think the Auto suspension ride dynamics seem to work best although the sport mode and lowest ride height on the air suspension works and feels great to me but my GT-R was super bumpy, loud, and jittery here and there so it all depends on what you're used to. I can see possibly using the auto ride height on the air suspension but all the differences when you change them seem to be fairly subtle. I didn't get to try any of the advanced settings but most likely, I won't touch all that in my own MS Plaid either.
Third on the yoke steering and interior fit, finish, and feel: Nice interior. Very comfortable and the vegan seats are nearly identical to any soft leather seats I've had in any car (btw - my Porsche Macan Turbo leather seats were super sporty and awesome but much 'harder' in feel than these...not nearly as soft and supple as these Tesla vegan leather seats). The yoke steering not as bad as I thought it would be; in fact, as one of the big skeptics of the yoke steering over the past 6 months, I was truly very concerned, especially after hearing a few people say they just cannot deal with it and they're immediately selling their MS Plaid. However, I can tell you that it's actually a non-issue. It's fairly easy to maneuver even in parking lots at low speed; just have to get used to it and the blinkers and horn buttons on the steering (no stalks)...which I think I was able to do fairly easily in just my first 20 min drive. The air conditioning seats work well and a/c system overall is great in the way of power and how you can “steer” the airflow.
Fourth on the exterior looks, fit & finish: Seemed all pretty good to me, but honestly I don't go out with a tape measure and measure all gaps, etc. The car does seem to sit a little lower than I thought but perhaps that's just my brain tricking me since I haven't driven an actual sports sedan in quite some time (my last one was my 2009 MB AMG which I sold in 2015). Wondering if there's an entry/exit setting to will raise and lower the car as you get in and get out of the vehicle? Also -- although I'm still partial to the contrast white/black interior with carbon fiber trim (although this has probably been the reason why I haven't taken delivery of my MS Plaid thus far), I can say that the all black interior with the dark wood is very classy and nice. I do wish Tesla has even darker wood, more like a real "black ash" wood like my wife's Land Rover RR Velar has. But, anyone with the all black interior won't be disappointed as it all looks great!
Hopefully, I’ll have mine in 4-8 weeks like they’re saying now. Hope my order doesn’t get pushed to Oct or later. So, I hope this helps all those very frustrated people like me and still waiting and waiting and waiting. Hopefully, you can stick it out a little longer...perhaps another month or two (or longer?) because I don't think anyone here will be disappointed once they actually take delivery and start driving their new Tesla MS Plaid (and LR as even with ~ 350 less HP/TQ than the Plaid, I'm confident all will love the power and delivery)! Oh and for me, MS Plaid with 1,020HP/1,050 ft-lb TQ or nothing; grateful I could spend the extra $$ for the Plaid...it will be an amazing DD/Work Vehicle/Weekend Fun Car for me, lol!

LeoDoc is next on my list
Owners in the past have been kind enough to do the same for me while I was anxiously waiting. It is nice to have a chance to return the favor to the forum.
