All I see with that is some clown looking like he is working hard to shart himself.

No thanks. Can't want to care what he has to say.

Same. It’s true that the thumbnail makes a hell of a difference lol

So my date moved. Sept 9 to Sept 29 versus the far better Sept 2 to 12.

Just received a text and email
"Good morning, Michael

I verified everything and responded to the text and asked if the vehicle would come with all season tires.

Was rewarded with a nearly immediate response confirming all season tires.

Almost there...

Lol Vehicle Virgins posted some pretty good videos 2 - 3 years ago. Whenever he "Parker" did a car review, he also posted a follow up video "5 things I hate about *****"

Good luck! My all season tires are at the Devon SC as of today. Trying to figure out logistics to get them as my car is still in for PPF/ceramic.

edit: on phone can’t tell if that emoji is male or female.

 

[Ramphex]

Which all seasonal tires did you end up going with?

 

[Drew-MS]

TLDW

1. Yoke - his “safety maneuvers” seem extremely overblown; his tight turning scenario seems also overblown - why not shuffle your hand down the side / underside of the yoke as you turn. He holds it like his hands are glued to the yoke. Move them man. No one is taping your hands to the yoke or have 40s old English malt liquor duct taped to your hands.
2. Horn location - sure, can agree with this one. Common gripe, see it being a pain.
3. Range is “abysmal” - but admits to flooring it. So useless point? Also, what other mass produced and currently delivering car matches the range?
4. Too much trouble changing driving mode - solve this by creating a new profile with Plaid if desired; but also who is changing driving modes so much? His idea of “another button” probably makes Elon’s skin crawl.
4.5 (?) Goes on to complain about how long it takes to prepare for launch mode. So I guess he never came from another performance model that took 30 minutes?
5. Exterior look basically the same as the old models; sure agree. But it a classic look. Buy some after market body kit if you want to turn it into a Honda Civic. Also says the 21" wheels are “unique” to the Plaid - false statement.

He also states:
Wants a HUD - nope.
Ambient lighting - also nope, in my opinion. In a recent drive with another member we discussed this - I have a feeling I would be trying to turn it off.
Wants a passenger display - still have no clue what useful information would be in the “black trim”. It is tiny as hell. Also discussed recently in the test drive with another member.
Wants “plaid” along the interior frame - also nope.

Need my nine minutes back.

Yea he got a little desperate. "Too much trouble changing drive modes" lol...
In a prior video, he said he is buying a plaid.

I don’t agree with his opinion but interesting perspective.

I so waiting to try FLAC files with the sound systems--so far, not playing for me.


Folks are slipping--letting this by without comment

I was able to play some FLAC files and some WAV files yesterday from my USBC. I also had one album of FLAC files that would not play and gave an error. I could easily toggle back and forth between FLAC, WAV, and error so it wasn't dumb luck. I did not try to change or delete the FLAC files that didn't work. Just thought it was interesting that some worked and some didn't.

 

[Mikovin]

Did you get a VIN?

No VIN yet.

Just as all here not yet blessed with a car, I feel like I am in the desert and dying of thirst with naught but a text to slake.

WHERE'S MY GD CAR ELON???!!!

Someone recently posted about selling their 19s for a very good price but I don't remember who and how much lol..
I replied "that's a very good price"

It had summer tires. Not a very good price when I have to throw away the tires.

 

[Maximus023]

Don't suppose you could link me to or post a picture of the torx wrench you used to reach that screw. I've tried every tool in my arsenal to reach it and just can't seem to find the right one that is long enough to reach it, but short enough to contort in there. Thanks!

Where did you order the extra emblem?

Fair enough

 

[Cysco]

Rage! Genuinely don’t know what happened got out of the car after driving this afternoon and found this. Must have run over something in one of the bajillion construction zones around here. That piece of concrete pierced all the way through the sidewall and damaged the rim. I can’t believe that tire is still holding air. Ugh.

Sorry, that was just twenty minutes of my life I'll never get back.

No Vin for white interior. Something tells me the estimate of October-November is more realistic. Seems like expecting Tesla to get its *sugar* together is simply too much to ask for

My source says White interiors delayed again. Start date unknown, all with dates before November will be pushed back.

Wouldn't it just be "all dates will be pushed? October pushed to November, pushed November dates. November pushes December, etc. Also, that seems to go the opposite of what is happening in the white interior thread - people are seeing dates move up.

If this was for me, I was not provided a choice.

Did not watch it but still feel screwed out of 20 mins of my life...

OMG could not agree with you more! I got deja vu! It was like what am I watching? Top Gear, or Edmunds? That while fake sick thing! And THEN, the whole "only for millionaires" crap, yeah THAT’S THE POINT THAT IT'S NOT for hyper rich people only. Clearly one of the *insert kind or not so kind word* people who simply can't get it through their heads how awesome the fact that this car exists is! ONLY FOR MARKETING?!!?!???!! What are they gonna say about the Lucid Air Tri-Motor, or the 2024 Dodge EV?! They are going to rave on and on, and *sugar* on Tesla’s interiors while they do it! Somehow, cars Plaid fast from other companies will be rational, but Tesla is just too far, and for "Twitter only!" I hate to get mad on this forum, and this likely the last time that I will show it on here, but man that's just BAADDD. Edmunds taking the unfair click bait media approach.
Some things in this review were good, like the range test, but that was about it admittedly.
