Wiki Model S Delivery Update

Summer

So no-go below freezing.
looks like they (PZ4) should do well in the rain according to Pirelli’s website.

Just saw that Portland, OR Tesla has 4 Plaids in stock and ready to go. Seems so odd given so many people are waiting for theirs.

Six in Seattle area. Some have been listed for more than a day and every morning the total increases.

For folks noodling different looks, here is the 19" Cardenio wheel with the Tesla grey center caps and black lug nut covers

Same, but different mounted view.

That’s how I usually think. Then the, “but I want it!” Kicks in…

Have you driven a Plaid yet? When you do the “but I want it!” might be replaced with “I will have it!”.

Thx - forgot you posted something. I am kinda toying with getting the black center caps from the original arachnids.

Thanks. After seeing these pics, I am leaning toward not swapping wheels and powder coating them black when I get the partial PPF and ceramic so everything can be done at the same time (and I won't lose even more car time). I'll probably switch wheels when the 19s wear out (which may be sooner than normal with this car). I'll decide after seeing them in person.

And even more crickets and this too!

Good night all!

I tried that this week. Color match was good. Bore looked good. The OD of the cap did not fully fill the counterbore diameter.

May try tonight to fully install and take pics.

In concept, it looks better than oem cap.

I read someone posted in past 4-5 pages (sorry unable to track it down now) FSD guarantees future hardware updates. Is that realistic, i.e, I am to-be first time tesla owner. Has previous owners with FSD got the hardware upgrades or is it just another Beta type deal that is forever 2-weeks out ..... Your input please....

FWIW, my EDD is stuck at Nov 10-Dec 1 but reconciling to the fact that it is good in a long run with 2022 vin and outside of EoQ. But will take it if I get it sooner ofcourse.... Afterall waiting since early April....

I thought I read that Elon said HW 4 would come out with cybertruck. Not sure if that means fed owners will get a hw3 to HW 4 upgrade at that point…I think better chance of it if HW3 won’t work with a future FSD. I’d imagine they’d do whatever they could to keep future FSD backwards compatible to avoid the cost of retrofits.

 

[IamGaryGnu]

At $200 a month to get the FSD subscription, you would have to keep the car for over 4 years before the $10k purchase up front becomes advantageous.

With all the talk here about how to properly leverage your money, and how so many of you won't even keep a vehicle for 5 years. Why is anybody paying $10k up front?

makes sense when you lease.

 

[IamGaryGnu]

FSD is not ready and who knows when it will be. Also why pay to not drive a car that’s fun to drive?

Summon on the other hand is useful. When the car is covered in snow, having the capacity to move the car forward/backwards is very useful. If only Tesla could sell summon only for ~1k$ I’d get that.

I was imagining calling the car in the snow. not sure how well it would do if ground covered so no visible lines. Ditto if really raining out.

Exactly what I am going to do. Black powder to match the trim will improve them a lot.

Anyone know if the new MS Plaid/LR comes with (2) Sentry Mode On - Recording stickers? Thinking it's a good idea to have these stickers in place on the 2 front windows even if Sentry Mode is off...could keep people away from the vehicle if they notice. If not, a set is like $11 on Amazon. Thanks.

Mine did not. Unless they’re on back order.

One nice thing about the 19" wheels is that it makes your rotors look big.

Mine did not - if it did, they would come quicker than the front plate holder.

Looks like Evannex has the Sentry Mode - Video Surveillance stickers for $10 as sold in a set of 4 stickers.

I only had access to the basic summon where you could move the car forward and back, not the call the car to pick me up at the entrance of the mall. So you get me thinking, I’d pay 500$ for the move the car front and back and 1000$ for the full summon.

Back to blank again after being Oct 30- Nov 19 for several weeks. What the hell. That's either really bad or really good?
