WTF indeed! What’s even going on anymore? Some weird random number generator/spin the wheel based inventory allocation?

Oh good, at least some people don’t agree with my preposterous sarcasm.
If SAs and website chat support are to be believed, current mats will fit perfectly including trunk and trunk.

Dude, you gotta put /s or something to indicate you're being sarcastic! Totally understood now lol.

Fastest car to 60 by a country mile. Nothing can touch it and these a-holes are throwing darts at it.
BTW - here's all of the other Teslas Motortrend has tested and, as you can see, all of them except the Plaid could hit their numbers (without special glue or rocket boosters or removing the passenger seats):

These are the same arguments the fanboys give when independent tests (all of them) show that in real world use, Teslas don't hit their range numbers either (and of course, theres always a special circumstance).

Him and "Tesla plaid Chanel" im waiting on to get theirs and im sure they will probably hit those numbers. But im sure people will complain the track prep was too good and say it won't count.
The Dodge Demon got headlines for this stuff, but damn near nobody could hit the advertised numbers because it was extremely difficult to get enough traction, ever. So I guess "what counts" is very very subjective.
"The Demon is no car for amateurs; reaching the 2.3 second 0-60 mph and 9.65s ET requires ideal weather and track conditions but also a skilled set of hands and feet behind the wheel."

Even the people who did hit it often had to deal with a rear differential that was destroyed during some dragstrip runs.

Dodge Demon Review – Drag Times from Hell - Zero To 60 Times
If there has ever been a car hyped to the absolute limit, it’s definitely the Demon. After all, Dodge took the already insane Challenger Hellcat and pumped in even more power. The end result: a quarter mile time that makes National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) go bonkers. Dodge even likes to brag...

Just picked up my plaid. All I can is that it is an out of body experience. I am just figuring things out but it does everything well. Acceleration was a bit intense but fun as hell. The cornering and suspension better than expected. I actually am getting used to the yolk . I figured out what works best at slow speed turns. One pushes up one side of the yolk while pulling down with the other. Sounds complicated but it actually comes natural after a while. Overall I have no complaints other than it is scary fast. I speak from experience since my other cars are a Lamborghini Hurucan Performante along with an Bmw M5. The fit and finish is equivalent to any of my former Porsches or my Lamborghini. I’ll have more later.

Their slower numbers. Feel like you are trying to feed us that they are somehow faster than the PlaidBTW - here's all of the other Teslas Motortrend has tested and, as you can see, all of them except the Plaid could hit their numbers (without special glue or rocket boosters or removing the passenger seats):

It doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t achieve that number without it. It just means the car won’t achieve the advertised performance figure consistently without a perfect surface. Or, they were simply unwilling to take the chance that it might not meet spec. They were obviously trying to control the variables so that it would exceed the advertised spec. If the spec you are advertising is that difficult to achieve in real world testing, maybe you should be a little more conservative in your advertised performance figures.
Anyone in LOS ANGELES / BURBANK / SANTA MONICA with a confirmed VIN and Delivery date?
I have two pending orders to Burbank. Both MS Plaid MSM 21' Black Interior. One has Wood and one CF trim. CF still Blank and Wood says June.

Congratulations! I’m super jealous. After having my appointment canceled for yesterday, they said maybe tomorrow and they called today and said it’s not going to happen.
MT needs something to complain about to increase their click rates!! And we have all been sucked in to paying attention to them!
Ignore MT- wait for the YouTubers who OWN the things to have a crack on decent roads...
