Yea that sux... i specifically re-ordered in late May with black/wood hoping for June. Wasn’t aware of the 19” nonsense.. To say this process has been beyond frustrating is an understatement. But happy to wait.

Also true, but I wonder why Elon never mentioned that it why we haven’t seen anything else about that. Must have been the Plaid + variant or upcoming Plaid “performance/track” package…

Is there any REAL downfall with ordering say 10 cars with all different builds to see what gets through first?

1000 bucks is all it would take.
Brake capability notwithstanding, I'm surprised how many people are posting evidence of them doing +150mph on a public highway with other cars around, lol. Kinda hard to deny that.
Just losing $900 in deposit is the only downside, because $100 will be applied to the one you accept. But if $900 is a cost to get your car sooner, it is not a loss then.

Those Rivian trucks are starting to look REAL good right now!!!....
It costs you an extra $900, assuming that you only want one. ($100/each non-refundable)
Depends on what vehicles they're coming from. 98% of cars do not have 650+ HP/TQ and do not accelerate form 0-60 in < 3.5 sec. BUT, again, the differences between the MS Plaid and the MS LR are enormous in terms of performance; the Plaid appears to be a whole new animal. Whether or not you think it's worth the extra $40k-$50k depends on a lot of factors and depends on what you think is "fast" and "high performance."
Having test-driven a 2020 MS Performance just one time, I quickly understood what all the fuss was about with Tesla (especially after driving a Jag I-Pace with just 400HP/512 ft/lb TQ for just over 2 years). In the 2020 MSP, I felt like I was in my GT-R but it was silent of course and 100x smoother, silky, awesome tech, and heavy feeling like a tank vs. the GT-R...but the acceleration was similar to the GT-R. I probably could've been quite happy with a new 2021 MS LR with all that power, but I know myself, and as long as I could afford the Plaid, I was going for the top-dog, the one with 1,020HP/1,050 ft/lb TQ...the one that's currently the "quickest production vehicle in the world."

I wasn't sure if carpet mats come as standard. Also, my comment was directed towards lack of aftermarket carpet mats.

At this point, i'd pay $1000 to get a car
On your phone, did you also go to Settings > Bluetooth > Tesla Model S > i and then turn on "show notifications"?

My LR has included carpet mats.
Just re-upping on the last question .. I can't find a sentry cam viewer anywhere in the current refresh UI, so I assume it just isn't there yet. I even went to best buy to purchase an ssd to put in the car because I assumed that's why it didn't show up. When I went to install it, I found that Tesla includes a USB stick by default now, heh.
I’ve heard some people asking about quotes for wall charger installs. I am thinking those quotes were for setting it up from scratch. I went from a 2013 version to the new version and my electrician charged $255 to swap it out in Central Florida. Just an FYI
Good luck with that. Rivian is way behind. Apparently they will release trucks based more on how close to a service center you are than when you ordered. The inital service centers opening will be few and far between and only a handful will be open soon, all near large cities in big states.
I put a deposit down in Nov 2018 and based on what I've read, I may be a year to two years away from actually receiving my RT1 rather than the expectation we would be getting them this summer.
I guess I was mixing the overall car experience with the braking experience. To be clearer...the braking on the Tesla seems 100% fine. Certainly for street use they are. Track, I have no way of knowing yet.
As far as the driving dynamics of the S vs. a 911, that's actually what I meant in regard to being completely different, as expected of course. Both perform their own mission with aplomb. Both are fantastic cars. Just so happens for my current life situation the Tesla fits me much better. And I really love everything about the S so far...it's an entire new level of tech and power that I'm really surprised is even being produced.
yeah, will be interested to see if they're no longer silver but more grey (to match the change in tempest wheel covers)
My only other complaint is receiving a 2021 in the 3rd quarter of 2021.
Thinking you’ll be getting a 2021 in March of ‘21 seemed like a better deal. Just venting a little
