Nice!! I had a Mevo+ and just upgraded to a GCQuad. Perfect Plaid distraction
New week and still says ED July 
Dragy is without 1' rollout. They do show in small letters with rollout which is about 0.2 sec quicker.

Call received from the Plano (Dallas Suburb) delivery center - scheduled for pick up for Thursday afternoon (or earlier). We just got back from Hawaii and I was telling he kids the Tesla would be here when we got back, they took me literally and questioned why it was not at the airport!
Has anyone with white seats + carbon fiber received a VIN yet?

Good luck! I tried. They are booked out two months!

Yeah I'd go for the LR but I have a Plaid reserved at the lower price and would have to take the LR at higher price which still leads into a large savings but some part of me still wants the 'deal'.
From a website that does 1/8 to 1/4 mile conversion [email protected] is: 11.35@128mph! A bit low on the ET (I think it'll be a bit quicker that that) but damn good on the trap! Awesome if real life times compare to that.As many of us have said before, the LR which we know runs 0-60mph in 3.1 sec and now runs 1/8th mi in 7.16 sec @ 103.58mph...should run the 1/4 mi in upper 10's - low 11's at ~ 125-129mph. Not bad at all!
Yikes. Lots of damage can occur in 2 months. Guess I can book now lol assuming my car shows up by September.

I’d be very surprised if they use the carbon-wrapped rotors in the LR. Sharing parts is fine if there is no added cost but wrapping the rotors, as Elon called out, is difficult. Difficulty = cost. The RPM conditions that require the carbon-wrap do not exist in the LR with the lower top speed. They are going to sell more LR’s than plaids so if they use the same motor that is a lot of cost being added unnecessarily. And we know what Elon thinks of unused costs(bye-bye passenger lumbar). I’ll bet a $1 that we will eventually find out that the motors/rotors start out on the same line. They go thru a evaluation to get the best of them(like they do for the performance motors for the 3 and Y) and then take the pick-of-the-litter motors/rotors to a separate line to do the carbon-wrapping. Like what BMW did in the 80’s where they pulled a group of 20 regular 5-series off the line at a time and sent them down the road to be turned into M-5’s

Exactly my thoughts! As addressed in my post this morning
, a carbon-wrapped rotor would be pretty much useless in the LR, due to the difference in gearing, and the different inverters in the LR.Post in thread 'Model S Delivery Update' Wiki - Model S Delivery Update
So why would Tesla equip a car with a special rotor, that requires use of a special carbon-winding machine, when said car can't benefit from it? Plus the added use of the machine puts more wear and tear on the machine, and more carbon fiber to be applied, both of which cost a lot. Doesn't make much sense from a business perspective.

No VIN yet but mine is in "production planning" which means what? Don't know...production planned for when? Don't know, lol...but hopefully, this means that my car with white seats and carbon fiber interior trim will be going into production in the next week or two and maybe I'll get a VIN for an early Aug delivery?

Weird. I contacted them on July 1st, the day after I got delivery. I was given a window of July 5-July 8.

It’s also worth noting that this 1/8th mile run was with one of my slower 0-60 times of 3.34 seconds using cheetah mode. I honestly don‘t know why this feature is on this car since it actually increases the 0-60 times. The car should be able to do the 1/8 mile in the high 6’s and the 1/4 mile in the high 10’sFrom a website that does 1/8 to 1/4 mile conversion [email protected] is: 11.35@128mph!

Unfortunately, I won’t be getting my car back for awhile to prove this, and I don’t think anyone is interested in the performance of my S 75D loaner.

Oh come on! Dragy the 75D!
