Just lock in another order now for $100 and you’ll get June delivery. The timing could be perfect.$188k for my Plaid

I don't know about the US, but in Germany one of the big numbers in the performance scene is the 100km/h to 200km/h time. (The only time we can comfortably measure on the autobahn. 
)
That would be about 62 mph to 124mph. Has anyone measured that yet? @omarsultan, do you have the patience (and a safe space) to measure that? That would be really interesting.
Thank you!

Not sure much patience is needed. Should be under 5 secs - close to 4 I would think. Then another 3.5 to 150.
Had to make an account just to say that's an awful idea. I wouldn't even think about buying the car in that case. Tesla would kill their business doing that too.

I did that last week but LR X config is 112k how I want it vs. 95k for comparable S. But c'est la vie for growing family.
I almost got a 60D X in 2016 but they discontinued it the day before I called my SA to put the 2500 deposit on it. 75D was so much more the S was the only way.
Not making that mistake again.

The delivery window on my account showed 06/27 - 06/30 last week. This week it shows nothing. I called and spoke to a CSR person and they said my estimated delivery is now August. I said WTF? He said it is because I have the carbon fiber interior option and it is delayed. I said what if I change the spec on the order? He said that any order change would kick in the new pricing and would be $10,000 more. I said WTF? My reservation was booked in January.

See!?! Checking the account page constantly does help and is a great idea! Clearly @dfinn1 is being rewarded for his checking efforts, so don't neglect your account page, double down! Check once every, oh I don't know, 3 minutes or so!

If it does close to 4s 100-200km/h, that would be spectacular.
This seems to be whats happening for most of us. Pretty upsetting that folks who ordered only a few days ago already have VINs (good for them though!). I would attribute it to Tesla wanting to milk the $10k of extra profit, but really I'm sure its just incompetence and a lack of caring about their customers.

You’re talking a 23k price difference - that’s NOT a difference most people can afford. The only reason I personally switched from going for a 3 to going for an S is that I was well below budget anyways, and didn’t know about the refresh till just before I almost ordered a 3. I was only looking at the 3 because I thought it was the nicer car at the time. But, if my budget WAS at the 3’s pricing, I wouldn’t have forked over an extra 23k. (close to half the price of the 3P).
I feel like most people switching over will have a similar story.
Unless you’re making a review video. Then, you can easily drop an extra 50k no problem!

I have the same fear. What is going to stop my 2 year old from picking up my phone, getting in the car, playing with the seat belt and bucking it, stepping on the brakes, the car shifting into gear, and then the car moving?
I can think of a few things that will help. Door has to be closed, hopefully a certain amount of weight in the seat is required. I will be turning on pin to drive but the kids are smart and can probably figure that out.
Haha fair enough @omarsultan. So here’s a video of the feature in a 3/Y -Questions....
@Cherry Wine
This is what I measured with my Apple Watch, by my home and on the freeway (decent condition):
Will compare with the X tomorrow
- Surface street, 25 mph: 53 dB
- Freeway, 70 mph: 65 dB
- Freeway: 80 mph: 69 dB
@Gluber
No, warnings in the side mirrors when you merge, only in the IC visualization
@cwanja
I need a bit more explanation, I do not have a 3/Y and my son is 6'4", so beyond the car seat stage
@Str8down
No hotspot

With the seat all the way up and the suspension all the way up, seat high is ~25in. There is still and Easy Entry profile and geotagging of suspension settings
My assumption is you could have anyone sit in the back, unbuckled and attempt to change the seat belt alert to a child seat via the touchscreen. Let me know if that’s not clear.

Since I notice you're about 3 hours further east than I am, does that mean I get a car 3 hours before you?See!?! Checking the account page constantly does help and is a great idea!

I'm also upping my check in mode to every 2 minutes.

This only applies to leasing. Put as little down as possible when leasing. If you put $10,000 down on your new Plaid lease and total it driving off the lot, the lease terminates. You owe nothing to the bank. However, you do not get your $10,000 back. Gap insurance will cover the difference between the car's value and its payoff amount in the event that you owe more on it than it's worth. So your insurance pays the present day value of the car and Gap pays the bank whatever the difference is between that amount and your current lease payoff amount. Gap protects the bank, not you.
If your credit is not pristine or your debt to income ratio is too high, banks may require a sizable down payment on the lease to lower your monthly payment. If that is the case, then leasing may not be the best option for that particular buyer on that particular expensive car. Leasing requires higher credit scores and lower debt to income ratios than traditional finance purchases.
Multiple Security Deposits (MSD’s) are paid “like a down payment” up front to the bank when the lease is executed. They simply buy down the money factor (interest rate) to ultimately save you money over the term. You are refunded these MSD’s at the end of your lease. This is beneficial if your credit is not stellar and the bank is charging you a higher money factor as a result, or during a time when the lending rates are high. Today this is the opposite case. We are in an era of almost free money. You are better off keeping as much cash up front and investing it. Why drop $10,000 in MSD’s to save a point in the money factor when you can invest that $10,000 and earn a 5%-10% yield in a nice index fund?
There are so many websites that do a much better job than me at explaining the in‘s and out’s of leasing. Like I said about 600
ages prior, leasing a Plaid makes no financial sense due to the math. BMW’s, Maserati’s, Alfa Romeo’s, Volvo’s, and many other makes lease very well and make sense. Tesla‘s do not. However, I was worried about the Plaid+ cannibalizing my resale value. My thinking was that the regular Plaid was not much different from the LR to the Plaid+, so perhaps down the road people would look for the Plaid+ on the used market and the Plaid would lose significant value. Purely speculation on my part, but leasing hedges against that sort of thing.They hit everyone with a 10k increase when they announced the refresh and then offered a 2k discount for those who ordered pre-refresh. I'm skeptical about yet another increase on the LR.
Yeah those things alone aren’t “weird” but combined with your schizophrenic offers to people, they’re called red flags. And this activity says fraud.
This is even shadier! $50k on top of the total price of a car you can order yourself, at the normal price, and have in the same time frame? You also selling steak knives that cut through shoes and still slice tomatoes?
Regardless, this isn’t the place to conduct business.

The trend of MSM, Black, Blue Exterior and Cream/Black Interior continues. Not a single person with white interior or even black with CF has had a VIN since the event. This sucks
