Moved some of the Elon discussion here

Is Elon harming the future of Tesla?
Doubtful they will increase the price because of that. People still hate Elon. My friends and family won't buy Teslas because of him. They bought a bolt euv and a Mach e instead. I have a bolt euv rental now. I feel sorry for them. 😅 But really, how did lucid mess that up? They know what they...

But loving my new Model S outside the steering wheel and gear selector. For those with an early Model S, it's a big difference. Much smoother and refined. The center console is different but I think an improvement.
Are you saying people can’t act?
In any case, it could be accidental then. Tires being a big possibility as others have mentioned. But in no world do I believe the Plaid is a better performer than the Sapphire in real life.
I think the we have one example of real world performance of a Lucid Sapphire that doesn't have an obvious conflict of interest due to the reviewer or the event being handed a car by Lucid for the specific purpose of that marketing or review video.
One sample isn't enough to definitively conclude the Sapphire doesn't perform to spec but you can't use the previous examples as evidence to support the performance claims for obvious reasons. Whatever the reasons for the shortfall whether it be a malfunctioning car or an incompetent driver, the Plaid consistently gets 9.3s, even on unprepped streets by drivers who have no clue what they're doing.
We'll see what happens with additional examples.
One thing I though was interesting is the Sapphire's ET dropped with every run as the SOC went down while the Plaid kept the same times. So one thing to watch for is if the Sapphire can only achieve, if even at all, the performance spec on a nearly full battery. The other thing that was interesting is that the Sapphire never closed the gap after the 60 foot when traction was no longer possibly an issue.
Some part of me wishes they'll do some very nice changes to the 2024, but another part of me just hopes they wont add anything that'll break easily

I found a '21 Plaid with 21" wheels and FSD in my color scheme for $71k. Tempting. That's a big discount for essentially the same car. And a good excuse to drop $20k on the track pack with the savings.

Order date 12/23/2023
MSLR/White/Cream/Wheel/19''
Original EDD Jan24-Feb24
Revised: 01/04/24 - EDD pushed to Feb 13 to Mar 26
Notified later in the day: 01/04/24 - EDD Jan 4 to 11
Delivered: 01/07/24 at Sunday noon.
On the 4th, I was given the option to pick it up on Mon the 8th or Tues the 9th. I asked if I could get it today (the 7th) which they accommodated with a noon express delivery. (And by express, they mean it! Sign here. The cars yours if you like it!)
I was skeptical on Friday, and several of you helped with guidance. I was concerned it was a reject, cancelled order or just stale inventory, especially since I wasn't getting info on build date, etc. Anyway, the vehicle was a December build with 8 miles. I could find nothing wrong with it, even after a 2.5 hour drive home putting it through its paces. Just what I wanted. I'm fine with the 2023 designation and am not inclined to overthink the potential loss of resale value years down the road coupled with the fear of price increases, range decreases, etc.
The vehicle is worth the wait . . . but it's also worth getting sooner than later! Thanks to all for this great forum.

Yup. Before everything. So I'd miss the new headlights, tail lights, steam, larger rear screen, improved brakes, improved roof glass, motorized screen, hw4, etc.
It's an interesting question what "FSD" is going to mean for hw3 cars vs hw4. Eventually it is going to stop improving for hw3 cars and that's the end.
It would have ultrasound, though!
HW4 won’t get real Fsd ever either IMO. The sensor suite just isn’t there

I've had the car for 3 days. We're coming from a 2013 Model S. The new car is noticeably better in every way possible. The ride is smoother, and the seats are a different world. The power is plentiful. I will get used to the horn and the turn signals. Buy with confidence!
