Ask the receptionist or any SA to unlock it. They can do it from their desktop computer.
I can't speak to the home delivery piece but for both of my pickups (at SC), I had them open the car to let me look before hitting accept. The delivery team was pretty nice about this and didn't push me to accept beforehand. They DID push me to hit accept roughly 15 mins later (as they had to get to another delivery appt) but by then I was ready to go from the interior standpoint.
Oof, sorry to hear that, I wonder if they are planning to deliver a big batch at once or something?
It's a little surprising to me that someone who previously owned a Model 3 Performance would be so utterly surprised and blown away by big screens, fast OS, and sensation of acceleration. Sure, all those things are a step above with the Plaid, but not in a shocking, new world kind of way...
That is exactly how I feel, and after driving my LR for almost a month I don't feel that I would even want the speed of plaid if I'm being honest. The speed of the LR is enough to already get me into trouble, I can't even imagine what the plaid would feel like. I am really happy I just stuck with the LR.
I can testify that a test drive will seal the deal. In 2014 I went to look at Teslas (only model S at the time). Did a 10 minute test drive and ordered the car on the spot. It's just amazing. Completely different than any other car.
"My SA also said...[enter something that never came true]."
Yup. I had the same experience in 2018 with the Model 3. I test drove a dual motor and ordered one. Then the Performance arrived and I test drove that. Changed my order on the spot to the Performance. 3 great years. I had no qualms about ordering the Plaid without a test drive and love the warp speed power and amenities inside. I cringe at the never ending list of gripes that are put forward here as reasons not to buy the car... ridiculous.
Fingers crossed that it's late enough to get the new headlights and early enough to get ahead of the impending $14K luxury tax in Canada.
I can confirm the “go to” fix for the light issue in the lower console is to replace the entire console. As simple a issue as it seems, it is not assessable nor configurable at this juncture. Hope they can simplify this through a hardware change on future builds or just better QC the vehicle. I tell you, its the small things that would only takes seconds to check or do right that drive me crazy.
Unlike your SA (or you), the OP was in a much better position to actually see the road.
you ordered before me but your EDD is after mine, not that i am expecting mine in the next few days, I guess different combos get different dates.Woohoo, my Plaid EDD has just been narrowed down to a 2-week window from Feb 9 to Feb 23, so hopefully that means a VIN will be coming soon. Hopefully it's not an Elon "two weeks" situation.
Yes, as I've been accused of being a Tesla pay per post schill I must chug a few shots of koolaide and profess my undying love for Elon and everything he does... /s
After having to audition in my M3, the acceleration isn't a factor outside of how aggressively you're braking, and turning. My advice is keep it in autopilot for as much time as possible as you won't be dinged in AP. My plan is to opt in and do about a 100 mile trip on highway and drop off at PPF shop to let it sit for the week required for timeline and get in that way. If I focus on highway only it's a breeze to get the 100. Also if you opt out and re-opt into the beta it resets your score. I had a 93 for a while so opt-ed out and back in and got in with the first wave of 99s.Public service announcement.
Whatever you do, don’t buy FSD with your Plaid! That fvcking score has totally wrecked my driving experience.
Plaid!? What plaid! I drive around in chill mode hoping to get selected! I would really like to drive it like I stole it, but…
Those fvcking sadistic sons of britches at Tesla deserve to get some bad STD for this!
Whoosh on the SA joke.
It definitely doesn't seem unreasonable or unrealistic that the X is as fast as the video demonstrates. I mean the X is probably somewhere between 300-500 pounds heavier than the S, depending on how each are optioned, so I fully expect it to be wicked fast.
