Is Tesla thinking the demand is too low for Plaid models, or at least lower than the production volume they plan on shipping in the next couple of months?
Asking because I got a call from a Tesla employee out of Fremont this morning about my Plaid+ reservation. He was excitedly telling me that they're about to start deliveries in a couple of weeks and I should seriously consider the Plaid model so I can get it by "July at the latest". Of course, I would have to cancel my Plaid+ order, get the $1,000 deposit refunded, then place a new order for the Plaid. Which means losing my $8,000 FSD pricing and forking out 2k more.
I said no thanks, I'm not in a hurry. And that I would rather wait until the car is available for test drives so I can see it in person first. Oh, and he claimed to think showroom models and test drive vehicles would be available a few weeks after deliveries start, so July or August at the latest.
Needless to say, I won't believe any of this until I see it.
