Tesla called me today to see if I wanted to switch my black cf plaid to black wood plaid and get my car “within two weeks”. I said yes. This is exactly what I was hoping for. I’ll update when I get a VIN

Stay strong my friend!
I broke down and ordered a Model Y that was ready for delivery, got the VIN almost instantly and it's now scheduled for Friday since they said they wanted to do some inspection after the arrival of the vehicle. I'm now contemplating on holding off the MS delivery for a little while to make sure any little kinks in the early batches are resolved, but damn I still want the MS to be here tomorrow!
Also on a second thought, I guess I could have ordered the Plaid and probably get it soon too and the upfront cost would be cheaper than getting both MY and MS, but there's no way I can really appreciate the extra power on the Plaid to justify the $40-50k difference. But now I'm ending up with two Teslas lol Eh well, I guess I'll just sell the MY when I get the MS, it will be the shortest period of my car ownership career!
Lol so if the MT driver was 250lb, then it’s possible a 150lb driver could have gotten a 1.99 vs. 2.07
And don’t forget about the Carwow guy who reminds us that the Remac is faster lol.It used to be-
It may do a XYZ 0-60 but it will only do it once or twice before it overheats
It may accelerate hard from a dead stop but it is a dog up top and everything passes it
The interior is not up to the standards of a car costing this much
The cabin is too loud
and on and on
Looks like Tesla has addressed a few dings on the Model S but we still need something to talk about. So-
The wheel sucks
The car is xyz tenths/hundredths milliseconds slower then Elon said (even though you actually can get the sub 2 second performance in - wait for it - drag strip mode Note: CWhite beat me to it. I wonder if they meant for the number to be achieved at a drag strip???)
People are people. We want something to complain about. MT needs something to complain about least they be accused of being in Tesla's pocket.
It really is all good. The refresh (both LR and Plaid) are going to rock everyone's world. What is Audi going to do? BMW? MB? and heaven forbid, Porsche? Perhaps they can pick on the wheel and the "fact" that the Plaid ONLY does sub 2s on a prep'd drag strip
I suspect Elon knows the wheel sucks. He's just reveling in all the free publicity as everyone talks about it sucking.
The Remac is impressive but it’s $2.5M, only 150 will be produced, and they’ve all been sold. Idk if 150 units is considered a true production car
. It is a sweet car though.
Ok thanks for responding. To clarify are you saying it is misaligned on both sides in the backseats only or are the front doors off a little?
Just asking to see if perhaps it's a thing we should expect in all cars due to a manufacturing process or if it's just variability. The other cars I've seen so far have this issue in the front. Thanks.
Serious question: Why do people redact parts of their reservation number, VIN and/or license plate number when posting? I get this is a public forum on the internet, but what can someone do with this information? Anyone can see a VIN or license plate number on a car in the wild. It’s not as if Tesla will allow anyone to redirect or cancel an order with just a RN or VIN.
Rear seats are perforated, at least the outboard ones are, but no fan. All three are heated.
Got email confirmation within 15min after the call. Deliver though still stuck on August. Been more than 24h. Keeping my fingers crossed PNW seems to be last on the list.
Always wonder the same thing. It’s useless information to hide lol
Only issue is the inside rear door panels need a slight adjustment. front door alignment inside and out perfect. Rear door outside alignment also perfect.
Ok so seriously, in my business if I had available product and waiting customers I would close that gap. If the average refresh MS is $100K they are sitting on $50MM of revenue (between the overflow lot and what’s at the factory).
I couldn’t imagine not moving that product for months. I’ve heard parts, software and paint. At this point all of those could have been resolved by now by any go getter at Tesla. What’s the real reason to sit on hundreds of cars?

I've noticed that on all refresh S's I've seen. I think that's just the way it's going to be…

Could you maybe capture some video while you are driving? I'm sure we all wouldn't mind watching that footage.
