Ahhh just got my plaid today Vin but just saw the cream and carbon fiber interior pics yesterday and was planning to change the interior order today. Do I have any options here or do I have to cancel my order now and reorder now that I got the vin this morning? advice? Thx.
Same with me - exact same plan. Only reason I got 19” over 21”s. Only good thing I can potentially see out of it is for the extra $1500 once I buy the arachnids is having a second set of rims to put winters on. (But then having second summers…)
Does anyone know if Tesla would update the graphic to the correct wheel type on the driver dashboard if someone upgrades to different Tesla rims? Current new owner interior photos seem to show what the cars came ordered with.

yeah sentry disabled, climate control disabled.
Multi-month bump forward on the Canadian west coast. From originally Oct to Feb to Dec to Sept 17-28. No VIN yet however.Vancouver order here.
MS-LR White | Black | 21" - 7/2 Order date RN1152 began with Oct EDD.
Yesterday, after the dreaded delay email, EDD changed to FEB.
Today, EDD changed to Dec 12 - Jan 01.
Will it stick?
You take forever to detail my car -- YOU GET NO A/C!!!

I just hope you get it before Jan 1 when the stupid "luxury tax" on cars over 100K goes into effect!
I think you can do that yourself by selecting wheeel size on vehicle information screen. That changes the image. At least it did on my 2017.
What model/options?
My Plaid white black CF 19s is now Oct 6-26. Down from Sept which was down from Aug.
For me this is it, I either get the car before Oct 26 or I just cancel. And if the stupid luxury tax passes, it might be it for the Model S. I really don’t know what to do but have no intention of paying extra taxes on top of extreme taxes we already pay.
So it's getting embarrassing. The Plaid is literally destroying everything at the track. I really would like to see the LR go against the cars in this video. The LR traps higher than them from a dig. I wonder how it would fair against this competition.

Alright folks, I just got back from my delivery appointment at the Fremont factory.
I ended up accepting delivery for the MSM/wood Plaid I ordered 10 days ago, despite the following issues I found so far:
It's kind of crazy: how does the factory QC not check this simple functionality before releasing a vehicle for delivery?
Anyway, I fixed it myself on the spot by turning the two knobs clockwise a couple of times to screw them in.
On the bright side:
Anyway the delivery specialist said I had 24 hours to document all the issues and submit them through the app as a service request, as it wouldn't have mattered if I reported them to her or anyone at the factory.
Oh and the car had 16 miles on the odometer, which seemed a little high given factory delivery. The white Plaid I saw yesterday only had 6 miles on it, and it was shipped to Lathrop and back.. oh well. The battery was also only 51% charged.
With that, a few photos to share!

- Yoke vein/worm
- Stubborn grease mark on the right side of the yoke
- Deep & long (>1 foot) intermittent scratch on roof glass
- Wrinkle in front passenger seat bolster
- Scratch on front-left wheel cover
- Black trim piece under right-rear triangle window lifting
- Front and rear license plate frames missing
- All floor mats missing
- Trunk privacy shelf missing
- Both trunk cargo covers missing
- Trunk not closing properly unless manually pushed down

Anyway, I fixed it myself on the spot by turning the two knobs clockwise a couple of times to screw them in.
On the bright side:
- Paint job looked really good, no issues I could tell
- Panel gaps appear to be even, very surprisingly
- Spoiler seems to be well stuck onto the trunk lid throughout
- Interior trim is solid, no cracking wood trim or squeaks/rattles
- No dings in the dash grill that I could tell

Can't believe how slow that stock Acura NSX is; no where near what a stock GT-R does in the 1/4 mi. Just slow. No wonder why 2022 is the last year for the very poor selling Acura NSX. Beautiful car though.

Also, funny coincidence that I was following a Lucid Air on my way home! I got alongside him on the freeway but he ignored me, so I zoomed away with a big grin on my face
I also decided to take the scenic route back, and went up on Skyline Blvd where I often mountain bike to test the suspension - absolutely magical! Auto does a decent job, but Sport is really good on the twisties.
In the Advanced suspension mode, I put the damping and compression to the stiffest, and you can definitely feel every bump in the road.
Brakes, on the other hand, are total cr@p. I had to really step on them to get me slowed down enough after a decent straight in preparation of a tight turn, and it was really surprising to me how little bite they have.
Anyway, a few more photos of my Lucid encounter and posing in the woods off Skyline:

For those who are considering tinting their windshield and want to not worry about being questioned: in addition to getting a doctor’s note from a optometrist, you can also get one from a dermatologist. For here in NC anyhow.
I picked up the car today! The nightmare delivery process and terrible miscommunication/service I've been dealing with the last several weeks is finally over!
The new bumper they had to put on didn't have the license plate holder
I've already dropped the car off to the detail shop for ppf/coating/tint. Hoping to get it back next weekend for some racing. I have an 1100hp 3rd gen CTS-V that is a handful but the plaid should be a bit faster and much more usable year round, with less drama and less breaking lol. The V is currently getting its built motor refreshed/rebuilt (3rd time).
First impression from the very short drive I had: I think I'll like the yoke and figured out the blinkers quick. Car feels solid and very comfortable and roomy inside. The carbon fiber looks great with black interior. The cooled seats might be the best I've experienced.. especially on a day like today with 106+ heat index.
The delivery guy I spoke with documented the steering wheel worm and said he would see what Tesla says about replacement. To my shock, he flat out said MOST of the cars they have received so far DO NOT have the worm, which is the opposite of what I have seen. Interesting.
I'll post more pics after the tint/etc is done.

Finally, I wanted to give a special shoutout to some folks on here who made the wait over last few months much more bearable:Also, funny coincidence that I was following a Lucid Air on my way home! I got alongside him on the freeway but he ignored me, so I zoomed away with a big grin on my face

@omarsultan thank you for letting me test drive your car almost 2 months ago to allow me to validate the yoke & suspension, and for all your selfless help to everyone here including myself - online and offline!
@lolachampcar thank you for the moral support by DM and email throughout this painful purchasing process, as well as all your mechanical expertise on wheels/brakes/suspension/etc.!
@DukeofURL I’m so sorry to defect from the red/CF config, but I will always consider you a twin at heart! I know you haven’t taken delivery yet, but you still win the bet against my original config
@2021plaid thank you for the endless positivity and all the likes/loves/laughs!
@Leodoc thank you for running the club for all the newcomers, I will feel welcome and honored to join - especially if you grant me VIP access
@jebinc thank you for supporting me in the MSM decision, and all your input on 19” wheels, ceramic costing, wood trim care, trip meters, and other topics!
@OnTheSnap thank you for the PPF & tint shop recommendation and detailed review of their work!
@AnselmDante @Tigers @cwanja and others, thank you for all the funny posts, you’ve had me cracking up and ROFLMAO often
I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch of you, but you know who you are.
Keep up the good times on here, and see you all around! (don't worry, I’m not going anywhere).
