I asked. She has no knowledge of that even being possible. I told her I know people that got calls to switch. She had no clue.Too late to switch to wood? Worth asking...
I was left with the impression he wasn't calling out Tesla for this. I think he was calling out America for using a non-accurate standard for true 0-60. I believe this practice was started to remove reaction time of the driver from their car's performance measurement, and to give the wheel slip a chance to catch. I don't fault Tesla for using an established NHRA standard, but I also agree with him that America should not be using this unique measuring technique. This country tends to be stubborn in the face of superior practices (metric system anyone?)
He DID call out Tesla for not using consistent standards on their own products, and he is right with this one. Not using roll out on the LR is a misleading marketing trick. Even if you argue the LR is not the performance model, as a reason for not using roll out, it is faster than most performance cars, so there's that.
Try going to the compare function on the Tesla website. You can compare 3 vehicles at once. If you put the Plaid, LR and M3P next to each other you see 1.99*, 3.1, and 3.1* respectively. Not exactly an honest way to let consumers make an accurate choice.

Ok - I am now totally confused. My SA told me (ouch) today that it would be possibly September.
I just check my account and have a VIN (5YJSA1E5xxxxxxxxx) and date (June 26-30). One hour ago still blank now this *sugar*. WTF???
So if anyone asks: LR blue/black, 21", FSD

When did you order? What range was your reservation number?
Which trim?
Congratulations! What was the order date, delivery location & RN info?I find myself refreshing my account even more now - waiting for Tesla's monkey to change his mind and go back to blank.
As an engineer and track rat, I think Tesla follows the standard convention used by other car manufacturers and includes the 1 ft rollout.Understood, and yes I completely think the 1 ft. roll out is out dated. And I prefer the metric system too, and that is a good point.
I do not believe that Tesla was intentionally trying to create confusion on performance between the Plaid and others. I think the reason the Plaid had the asterisk is because it is viewed as the top of the line performer and was at the brink of brink of a 2 second barrier under the current way 0-60 is measured. That being said I get the complaint completely. They should just be consistent. And It does not do the LR fair justice. But I mean the difference in performance is clearly evident in the quarter mile times when comparing the different offerings. 0-60 is a bit of a joke.
@Dcher I thought you would be posting your pickup in real-time Come on man. Isn’t there a live feed function on these boards?
Well at least i am not the only one hearing this....Just talked to my SA about my plaid, which will be delivered early next week. He said the firmware needs to be updated and has no idea how long that will take :/
You're welcome?...I was going to pay cash but since you are offering to finance mine, I will take you up on it. Will let you know where to send the check. Thanks.
