some of the favorite features of my benz i'll be giving up - the different colored ambient light options, and the self closing doors. okay, heads up, night view assist, etc. - but the doors and ambient lights rankle.
If the Benz goes, I will miss the HUD, a little. But the view over the yoke looks to be good, so...
Same here with my BMW. I loved the surround view cameras that I used to park close to a curb without worrying about curb rash. HUD will be missed. But I won’t miss buying premium gas, oil changes, brake pads, and tune-up costs
The side repeaters do a pretty good job for avoiding curbs
Technically, cashier's checks don't have an expiration, but I would presume the bank has some sort of internal policy on them that void the check and require reissuance. Most have 90 days - I'd guess the same/similar for DCU.
Not sure. Because its the same company who also promised RoboTaxi service and NYC to LA with no human intervention at all by end of 2019? Also, Because other supercars capable of going 200mph typically dont have "special wheels" needed to do so?
Yes. Tesla was only concerned with how to get to 200mph, not how to stop from that speed. With all of the reviews pointing out that the brakes wouldn't be up to the task of slowing the car Tesla was forced to address the issue.
You kinda made my point: Despite Tesla stating so earlier this year (before most Plaids were actually purchased), there is zero evidence the Arachnid wheels were not capable of 200mph speeds. My point is: Tesla knew all along the wheels were not an issue in achieving 200mph safely. So why state that on the website?
There's zero evidence that 19" wheels can't go 200 either, what's the point there?
Please present evidence that either wheelset can safely go 200
"According to Tesla, the wheels and tires necessary for 200 mph are available on the Plaid now.."
That's what MT said...."According to Tesla, the wheels and tires necessary for 200 mph are available on the Plaid now.."

Like so many things Tesla, you can't—yet. Here's why.www.motortrend.com
Unless you are implying that Tesla is lying (again)?
@2101Guy and @lbowroom Uh, yeah there is. The 19" tires are either W or Y rated, for 168 mph, and 186 mph respectively. The 21s are (Y) rated, which are rated for over 186 mph.

Look I get you. My only point is there is nothing definitive either way. I said wheels, not tires. 186 doesn't mean 200 either. it's a big mess but from that I don't conclude that Tesla is a big evil liar trying to trick us.@2101Guy and @lbowroom Uh, yeah there is. The 19" tires are either W or Y rated, for 168 mph, and 186 mph respectively. The 21s are (Y) rated, which are rated for over 186 mph.

Agree that Tesla is not and was not lying here. And the parenthesis Y rating: (Y), means they are certified for the particular vehicle they are mounted on; in which that vehicle top speed exceeds 186 mph. This means these tires are rated for the Plaid's top speed; 200 mph.
If Tesla says the car can't do 200mph and limits it to 162, then the statement "(Y), means they are certified for the particular vehicle they are mounted on" means they are certified to 162 until Tesla says differently
