The all weather mats that I bought from Tesla online shop are made by WeatherTech fyi
Of course, WeatherTech will come up with their own design sometime soon.

I would have accepted it also! But, I applaud them wanting to address it.
Same. That is actually the first place I checked. I'd be shocked if they didn't have them in a month.
I’ve been doing this for decades specifically because it’s not hard to have empathy for LEO. Every stop has the potential to be dangerous…anything I can do to lower the stress is helpful. Windows down, engine off, hands on the top of the steering wheel holding my drivers license with both hands so it is clear to the officer as he approaches.
Something I find strange is that under features for the Plaid, Top Speed 200mph has a subnote.
*The indicated Plaid top speed requires proper wheels and tires which will be available in Fall 2021.*
Does this mean early models will be limited due to wheels and tires not up to par?

I learned a long time ago to put my hands not the top of the door (window open of course).
Several cops have walked up and asked why I did it and the answer is simple. You do not know me. I do not know you. I've done something we need to talk about and the last thing I want is you worrying about my hands. The conversations normally go quite well after that

So, I don't see Tesla sending out the improved wheels, tires and upgrading software for all early Plaid buyers, do they just get the shaft or will the cars 200 mph top speed be reduced and no new wheels and tires ever produced?
Maybe that will be the Plaid +

And they are coming out once the part comes in. I do applaud them as well. I would have NEVER noticed it! My only concern was just that I had my insurance already changed, title sent onto Tesla, so being in limbo was a little nerve wracking.
The 200mph wheels will be an option, available in the fall. Search for "ZeroG" wheels to see the outline of what they'll look like from the outline in the parts catalog.So, I don't see Tesla sending out the improved wheels, tires and upgrading software for all early Plaid buyers, do they just get the shaft or will the cars 200 mph top speed be reduced and no new wheels and tires ever produced?

I am speculating but I think this will be the Zero-G 20" tires that was listed in the parts catalog that has a 315 tire spec listed for the rear. I'm assuming it will be a wheel+tire combo available via online shop and installed at SC who will then software unlock the 200mph as well.So, I don't see Tesla sending out the improved wheels, tires and upgrading software for all early Plaid buyers, do they just get the shaft or will the cars 200 mph top speed be reduced and no new wheels and tires ever produced?

Actually, this article and a couple others I have seen, points to the fact the Arachnids, and the ZeroG wheels will both be capable of 200 mph. The Arachnid-equipped cars are supposed to be able to do 200 via SW update:
What You Need to Go 200 MPH in a Model S Plaid
Like so many things Tesla, you can't—yet. Here's why.

Also, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires on the Arachnids are '(y)' rated, which AFAIK, means that the tires are rated to exceed 186mph.Actually, this article and a couple others I have seen, points to the fact the Arachnids, and the ZeroG wheels will both be capable of 200 mph.

Agreed, so why the subnote from Tesla?
*The indicated Plaid top speed requires proper wheels and tires which will be available in Fall 2021.*
They updated to description on the site to specifically exclude 2021 models, so

Most likely, either MT misunderstood, which believe it or not, I actually doubt, or the Monkey that runs the Tesla webpages screwed up lol, and it was supposed to say:
*The indicated Plaid top speed requires an over-the-air software update, which will be available in Fall 2021.*
The reason that I believe MT, is that they confront this footnote in their article, and they also state Tesla said that these wheels have been recently validated at 200mph.
My personal guess is not that the webmaster messed it up, but rather that Tesla had simply not validated these wheels and tires at 200mph in January, and that they haven't gotten around to updating the website yet.
Judging by the amount of confusion they seem to have thought the organization, you may be correct on not updating the website.
Baffles me as a first time Tesla buyer that with all the communication, paint, trim, etc problems that everyone reports it scares me that this same lack of attention to detail is just as bad in motors, drive train, software, etc. Just looking at the overhead drone footage, makes me wonder how unorganized they are. They need a modern day "Henry Ford" to organize their assembly process!

Yep! I bet that soon enough, that footnote will change.
