Congrats! I really don't get it though... Tesla has held my $1000 since I ordered on 11/8/20 (RN1141) and here you have the EXACT same config/colors and get a VIN before me. Your order date 1/28/21 was well after mine. What could be the cause of this?Holy cow I got a VIN! Woohoo!!
The wait has been tiresome at times, but reading this thread and everyone's contributions over the months has made the journey more tolerable, enjoyable and definitely made time go by faster, so a huge thank you to everyone in here for that! Still crossing my fingers that the VIN doesn't disappear or anything weird like a few others have unfortunately reported, but this finally feels real!

I'm debating whether to do XPEL PPF on the whole car or just Front plus Opticoat Pro+. Would be curious as to your thoughts on why you decided to not go with PPF, if you don't mind sharing

Location and possible new MS Plaid allocation for that state and locality? Trust me…I don’t get it myself! But that’s possible. Tesla is crazy with how they build & deliver cars.

But this simply can't be true. The EPA does not test all possible settings of the vehicle. They have a profile for city driving and a profile for highway driving. They run the vehicle till the battery drains to get a range. And this is done in a controlled environment, which is why the real range never matches the estimated range.

Did you need to have any paint correction done? I assume that means buffing out spots, etc. (I've never done it). FWIW, as another data point, I was quoted the same 1500 for opitcoat pro + here in Nashville.

Wow that's a lot of words for "they didn't have everything ready in time for launch".

Aww thanks @lolachampcarMarG is your guy for track analysis. I'm especially looking forward to his feedback on modifications as he makes them and how they affect handling at the limit on the track.
As for me, I'm dog slow in door slammers. One of the things I've always admired about Randy is he can get out of a rolling and swaying 911 after turning competitive lap times and hop in something like (my old) Chevron B36 and be equally competitive. I saw it first hand at The Glen when he was coaching the guys that bought the 36. It is a sight to behold and a skill I do not posses.
What I will be doing is finding out exactly how the plaid handles from a grip at each end standpoint at street speeds. It's like doing a stall sequence in a new plane; I'm a firm believe in knowing car balance before I'm in a situation where I need to KNOW a car's balance
Not sure I’ll do much with the suspension, it really depends how good it out of the factory. My Plaid will be dual-purpose, so I want to make sure it’s still comfortable enough
I know Unplugged Performance and Randy were mostly pleased with it, they just swapped the struts for Bilsteins.
I’ll definitely change the brakes, at the minimum new rotors and pads, but might need larger calipers too - TBD on how good or bad the stock ones are.
Then of course, dedicated track wheels and tires. Let’s see if Tesla comes up with a 20” track-specific wheel that’s light enough for my taste.

Check this out:
Delivery estimate is still showing as June and now even for Tempest Wheels it's June. Anyone wants their Plaid/LR delivered in June?

- My experience is the only parts of the car that get road rash are the front bumper cover and the hood, so....
- It seems like a waste of money to wrap the whole car, so maybe just get a bra...
- But I can see the difference between a wrapped and unwrapped panel and that will bother me more on a daily basis than some road rash, plus, one the years, I have gotten pretty good at fixing minor paint chip--the kit Tesla sells is pretty good
Actually, no. They said the paint was in good shape. They just washed, clay barred and had to polish a couple of spots--nothing they charged for.

Saw my first Plaid in the wild today. Beautiful car. Still super-happy with my LR. I do have some cracked window trim material on the passenger rear.
