I got a few quotes for ceramic on the glass roof and then figured that a hair implant might be cheaper

Will a poster board work for the sun? I used two in my last car with T-tops. Just a thought..

None needed. You can keep your sympathy to yourself and see if that helps you get an early delivery.

Also the person who got a call from Tesla about switching to Arachnids ordered in June so there's another slap on the faces of people who've ordered literally 8 months ago. This is insanity and the fact that people like you can sit here and spout out the take it or leave it kinda garbage is shockingMany people waiting for a lot longer than 6 weeks dude…try 6+ months! Not saying the delivery process makes any sense nor is Tesla right for doing it the way they do, but you did just order at the end of May. I know you’ve heard this before, but I think you forgot about that little detail.
BTW - everyone here who had to wait for many weeks and months are just as angry as you, but our posts are not “F-k this $h!t” x 10, lol.

I doubt people dropping 90-150K on a car want to to go to Walgreens to stick cardboard over their heads. I definitely don't expect to deal with any do-it-yourself solutions for a new car.

You're right. I remember your experience. It really was far worse. I just don't like it when people here simply encourage Tesla for treating customers like crap. That's some Stockholm Syndrome kinda bs lol
I'm keeping my order for now and dealing with it by bitching about it often

After spending that much on a car, maybe cardboard is all a person can afford.

Here is another view from those 4-people Plaid runs:
It took a bit over 1000 days between reservation and getting my Model3. It sucks. Tesla is doing a piss poor job with that. I personally quite enjoy the ride this time. I ordered today and I have an august expected delivery that will probably extend to sept/oct, I’m fine with that. In fact I want the car in December and that’s why I’m ordering now. 
However no amount of complaining will make things change. The only way to make things change is by canceling your order. But that sucks even more. When competition finally catches up, Tesla will need to be better at this.
In the meantime the only option is to suck it. SA should tell customers that delays happen snd that delivery can be postponed numerous times. Once customers know that they are more likely to be ok with delays.
As other have said, the car will be worth it. Because for all their mistakes, broken promises, delays, price hike and what not, Tesla owners are still the most satisfied in the industry.
Final note, there are people higher up the food chain. These guys can speed things up. I know the person in Canada and it really helped with my Model3. If you can find that person for your area, it will help you a lot. Hang in there.

I am sure a mesh, pop-in sunscreen will show up in the Tesla store at some point.

Um, the MS Plaid will my 1st Tesla (2nd EV but first Tesla owned). I am in no way, shape, or form a "Tesla cultist" nor am I a "nut hugger," lol, and I'm certainly not okay with the way Tesla conducts business. I am not brand loyal to any auto manufacturer; I've owned many. Therefore, you have no argument with me; I do, however resent your insinuations and name calling, sir. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Woah! Why didn't I think of doing just that? You're so smart lol Of course, there are people who have placed orders way before me. They deserve to get their cars way before me but we both know that isn't happening since Tesla is busy delivering to people who ordered a week ago
When there are people who got their cars on a week's notice then the least Tesla can do is to communicate with customers who've been waiting longer. Now, to you this must be how a company needs to treat its customer and its fully acceptable but to anyone with multiple brain cells this isn't a way to do business. And frankly telling people they need to be okay with it or cancel the order is a dick move and makes you look like a cultist nut hugger.
Apparently, you're in some sort of rush with your vehicle, yes? It seems like you're in desperate need to get your new vehicle, exactly by when did you say? Exactly what's the reason for this need so quickly? Did you sell your previous vehicle already (like I did in March but I've been driving around another vehicle we own in the meantime until I take delivery of my MS Plaid) or is it coming due for a lease end soon? Asking for a friend.

The newcomers need some sympathy for those who ordered last year or early this year. I want my LR as much as anyone but the folks who ordered before me deserve their cars before I get mine. I ain’t gonna die if I don’t get my car tomorrow. Neither are you. Chill out.
Another string of responses. Sorry for any redundant answers.
This has happened to me numerous times on Tesla store and no fix. You need to change the email address on ApplePay before confirming. On vehicle orders you can change it. Not sure if the email but you can try [email protected]. I had to for a previous order tied an email not associated with my Tesla account.
Signing into another account won’t fix it. The order is tied to the email address. See above.
I had that until 06/30. Now I got nada. But am ok waiting. Getting it early doesn’t mean anything to me anymore (I’m old)
Plaid+ appeal to was the range. I would not buy the Plaid at + price.
Entirely possible. Considering what a beast the car is. Not sure if I’m contradicting myself from the reply above. I think I would pass at 20k above which would be 10k for me as I got pre bump up and/or because of + order.
Yes. I directly asked Franz about this on 6/10. No dice
I’ll tell you what though. It gets damn hot to the touch in the SoCal sun. ‘17 MS
I often go to my car at lunch. If I sit in it for a few minutes, I can feel the heat from the roof as the sides have those collapsible screens up.

We all went through the anger in the same stages of grief it's been on Tesla's crazy-a$s roller coaster ride of manufacturing to delivery process over the past 6+ months; it hasn't been fun; it's been nauseating actually!You're right. I remember your experience. It really was far worse. I just don't like it when people here simply encourage Tesla for treating customers like crap. That's some Stockholm Syndrome kinda bs lol

Nobody is debating that, but your 6 weeks to our 6+ months isn't really comparable. There's no excuse for Tesla (I've said this exact same thing for months now) but yet, we all here still want our new Tesla MS Plaids & LRs! It is what it is...we must all be in the acceptance stage now! Hehe. I guess some people are much more impatient than others for various reasons. 
Please add this option to the tracking spreadsheet for future data points.

We took a drive through the mountains today with the plaid. Lots of twisty roads. The only problem I had was getting stuck behind some really slow (10-20 under the speed limit) drivers. I don't tailgate but I pass when safe. It's good at that too.
Can anyone with a Plaid say what the 0-60 time is for the car in Chill or Sport mode? My wife is not interested in Plaid speed, so I want to reassure her that she can tame the car a bit when she's driving.

Unfortunately, there aren't any test results yet, but Chill will likely be some like a 5-6 second 0-60, and Sport like 3-4. The main differentiator on Chill mode is the power delivery, which is slowed way down, thus making car feel more sluggish, (or tame.)
