Do you have a link to the seller and does it seem like a decent quality?I purchased one from Ebay but I haven't installed yet. My plan was to remove the plaid badge because I thought it would draw too much attention from people looking to race etc. That hasn't been the case; at least not yet
Wonder if you are facing the same battery pack issue as @WilliamG see the last five pages or so. Model S Plaid/LR 2021 Refresh Issues ThreadOT - I charge overnight to 95% in preparation for a 100 mile each direction trip to Atlantic City, NJ. I jumped in the car this morning and switched from percentage to miles to see the approximate range. It read 223 miles. That's somewhat disappointing for a 95% charge, do you agree? My car is always plugged in at home (although I only charge off peak) and I charge to 80% daily. Surprised I didn't see something closer to 300-320 miles.
EDIT: Added pic after a 10 min charge back to 95%.

Either something is wrong, or after some driving, it will recalculate to a correct higher %
Sure, the seller on eBay is ‘rayeetechinc.’ It’s metal and seems to be very good quality.
Looks like I am in for the 6th date shift in September since today is the start of the last EDD range edit Sept 23-30. Plaid Blue/white int./CF/19"/FSD.
no VIN in sight yet. Down to the Q3 end wire

You might be suffering from a bad main battery pack like me @dennis @WilliamG All of us are having out packs replaced.OT - I charge overnight to 95% in preparation for a 100 mile each direction trip to Atlantic City, NJ.

Here's a place for you to start reading :
Model S Plaid range discussion.
So based on @Cal1 my Plaid and @WilliamG are both down 20% from what it should be. Anyone else seeing this?

Oof. That does indeed look like a bad battery pack like several of us have experienced. Schedule service asap.
Uh oh.
I just got my very first EDD. It's 10/8-10/28. Pretty big change from Jan-Feb. Car config in my sig if you're interested.
There's no way my mortgage is gonna be done in time.
My wife said there was no way she was going to let me order the car until all the ducks were lined up and the money was sitting in our checking account. I wore her down over a few days and she agreed to let me go ahead with the order. I told her there was a really good chance that the price would go up between now and the end of the year. So she agreed.
Now I'm literally being caught with my pants down.
Time to grease the palm of my mortgage guy and see if he can pull off a miracle. Either that, or just decline this one.... and possibly the next few. : /

So @dewski? Haven't heard an update on your problems. They were so severe, I'm wondering if you've ever resolved them??
@dewski said the SC thinks it's the right front wheel speed sensor.
And in a true /facepalm moment, I replied with a post that explained what a wheel speed sensor does, but didn't tell him it was an extremely easy fix!
If that's all it is (and the codes his car threw do make sense for that being the issue), it's a 30 minute fix, tops. Assuming they have the part, of course.
You have a Plaid order and non-white interior; so I will say it is a non-zero percent chance you get it in that date range. But a month after order? That would really give a lot of long waiting orders (March, April, May), that are still waiting, a gigantic middle finger.

Good to hear! At least let's hope that's it? Nothing worse than getting a brand spankin' new car and have this happen! I know he was thinking, "why me?"
Completely agree. I wonder if there's something about the config of the cars that is making the difference, besides the white interior?
If someone has been waiting for this config, I'd love to get them into this car. And no, I'm not looking to make any money off of this. Is there any way that this car can be transferred to someone that has been waiting longer?
This car will be going to the Las Vegas, Nevada store, btw.

Great idea, I might just do that! It would be awesome if the car disappeared while doing full Plaid acceleration in front of the popoTint your tail lights and the car will disappear!!

I'll look at it. This 118 mile trip is scheduled to consume 60% of my charge. Seems very aggressive. I switched to Chill mode for the full trip.
Service scheduled for this Saturday. Ugh.

Chill mode will not consume any less energy than insane, ludicrous or plaid. It ALL depends on how heavy your foot is.
