It is truly astounding to me as well my friend! We are so lucky these cars are still being produced, and are continually improving even through his mess of a shortage.

Found a great in-depth review on the Plaid if anyone is interested. Relates to LR buyers like myself. Model S Plaid Review

I gave it about 90 seconds or so at the office - and was smiling. It's 55 minutes I just don't have right now, but I absolutely plan to watch it, maybe tonight.
Great find, thanks!!!!!
No problem. Definitely the most detailed honest review on every aspect of the car.
Looks like the Tesla monkey works over the Thanksgiving holiday! My EDD improved overnight! It was Mar/Apr, and now it's listed as Jan 16 - Feb 13. I'll be out of the country from Feb 1-18, so I'm hoping it comes before that, but I'm happy the EDD has improved (it was Dec 19-31 for over 5 weeks previously).

Not in the window sticker, is the significant lifetime savings on cleaning products and OCD vs a non white car
How does that make any sense? Smart summon wasn't even out when I purchased EAP.
When you buy something, do you not expect it to work? Smart summon basically does not work, and will never work on HW2.5.
FSD hardware upgrade should be FREE because the website said that FSD hardware is included standard with the vehicle.
Nice, looks like radar is still included on S! I thought they removed it since mention of it has been removed from the product page, but no one taking delivery recently was able to confirm until now.

I lasted only 90 seconds too. What is it about Plaid?

It's actually worth watching a bit more. Not a single dislike, so must be better than most.

I think they missed a letter in this statement.....Now it says: "Top Speed, 200mph, when equipped with paid hardware upgrades."I created a thread over on Reddit yesterday, which has quite a few people up in arms there, too. I feel like Elon and co. are more likely to be monitoring Reddit than TMC, but who knows...
Maybe all those who bought a Model S Plaid before the verbiage change will get the 200mph unlock and free carbon ceramic brakes! Right? Right? Right?
Left out an "L". Should have read "Top Speed, 200mph, when equipped with pLaid hardware upgrades."
That poor guy in the video got a lousy car. Thank God mine was just the opposite.
This article proves how safe the MS is. Amazing story! Tesla Model S falls from cliff, gets totaled; owner walks with a scratch on his arm

Yeah well YT has removed the ability to see the dislike count, so we don't know lol! Something to keep in mind.

I think it's Tesla's first attempt at candor. Paid hardware upgrades. Otherwise they'll let you go to 163.
No Freudian slips for the monkey...

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Retroactively changing requirements for advertised features…
Indeed.
I have seen the rationale or basis for most of Tesla's decisions. Most. There have been a small sampling that have been otherwise. One well known one was the requirement to pay for the faulty memory in the original MCU. I opted for the MCU2, but I can understand why those not wanting the upgrade and with faulty MCUs were incensed. After much consternation, Tesla backed off, from what I recall.
This is another example and is 100% flawed. There was no explicit indication that to hit 200mph on a Plaid would be an additional/incremental cost. The site simply stated that the tires needed would be available in the Fall. Or that it would only work on the larger wheels. Availability and 'paid upgrade' are not automagically inclusive in my poor grasp of English.
And if the cost is more related to braking from that speed vs achieving that speed, it is even more so untenable.
They need to fix this. As someone else stated (the other Omar, I think), it's not that I will be going 200mph, but I should get everything I paid for.
The Plaid was marketed as such. That is a car that can get to 200mph and back. Safely and repeatedly.
Im astounded at the lack of outrage by many plaid owners. Imagine neing told in writing, that your $140k car will have a top speed of 200mph once you purchase the special wheels needed to do so. (Which Tesla KNEW THEN..there were no "special" wheel requirements beyond the Arachnids when they put that sentence on the page. Similiar to Tesla KNOWING there would be no Robotaxi service in place by end of 2019 or 2020, whichever it was).
Then AFTER they get your money, moving the goal posts and saying "Give us $20k, and only THEN, will you get the 200mph we advertised and promised as part of the purchase agreement/contract between us".
They are masters at being Lucy with the football, and the customers being charlie brown
