I agree. These guys have always been extremely helpful to the Tesla community. Thank you @MorrisonHiker

FWIW… I just spoke to someone in Fremont because I’m in a sticky situation where if I don’t apply for a loan today I won’t be able to apply again for 1 to 2 months and I wanted to make sure I was covered if there was a potential for my LR order to be delivered in the next 4 to 6 weeks. I was told nobody is getting an LR right now and they are not even in production and they are not aware when they will be in production and "it’s impossible for someone to have a VIN currently for a LR…". I let her know someone on this thread has one and she said it’s just not true. Take that’s for what it’s worth
No, no, no! This is very bad advice.
Stop listening to Dave "Formerly Bankrupt" Ramsey; he's for ENTERTAINMENT VALUE ONLY.
When money is on "Sale!" one should BORROW the money to buy the car, and leave the rest going into TSLA shares. Doing this has made all nine (so far) of the Model S's we've owned effectively free, many times over, but then we've been buying both TSLA and the cars since 2013 so you'll have to wait a while to see similar returns, but they're coming . . . . TSLA is at about a 33% discount from all time high.
Think about these choices people, THINK!
Re: sound levels....Just for dB comparison. I've got a 2015 P90D with fairly new Michelin tires. On an asphalt highway at 70 MPH using an iPhone with the Decibel X app I show 82-86 dB. At 30 MPH I show 76-80 dB
Did you grab a screen shot. I get the 404 page not found. Maybe they didn’t want that to load and you got lucky

One of the first really decent articles done with some excellent technical info on the Plaid's motors and battery configurations... Engineering Analysis Of New Tesla Model S Plaid Supercar
I was just about to post this! I mostly despise ev/tesla blogs, but this had actual new info and analysis, not just duplicative clickbait.
Got my VIN yesterday in central Florida for White Plaid, FSD, Wood, Black Interior. Delivery estimate says June 21-27, already paid for. Not sure what to expect for an actual date.

TSLA has been in the toilet lately (and their challenges are increasing as time goes on) so not sure how it will all play out over the next several QTRs. Again, I am paying cash with a cashier's check on the day of delivery but I had thought about putting down a bunch of cash and taking a $50-$100k loan but I would rather buy the car outright and have zero debt and zero owed when I trade the vehicle in about 2-3 years (as I drive approx 18k-20k per year)...getting the most I can on a trade-in for the next one. But that's me; everyone is different in a different position. Other than my home mortgage, I have zero debt AND I invest plenty in the market and my corporate Roth 401k so again, that's me...the way I do it isn't for everyone and choices are good!

This just shows how special @omarsultan really is. A multitasker expert. Driving his new Plaid, answering our questions and squeezing in some actual work.

By financing, you keep the cash on hand and accessible. It doesn't change the zero owed equation, it just delays payment.
Also, don't dump it in TSLA. Just dump it in VOO.

I am fortunate that my business that I own/run is in an industry where we've seen a decent increase in sales through Covid-19 with no signs of letting up, so it all works out.

No have a 2 year old and a 4 year old who work as a team. One in the seat, one in the floor. The swiss cheese model requires extra barriers in this case.Unless you have freakishly tall kids, reaching the pedals might be a stretch

Someone from Tesla made a comment about production and when to expect cars? I’ll take it for what it’s worth. Nothing. I mean if even Elon Musk’s statements on the subject have been proven gibberish, there’s no point asking the question let alone believing the answer.
