I’m in this camp. Had delivery scheduled for this past Sunday but when I showed up I was told it was there but in “containment” until further notice - no other details.
Where’d you get your info? Any idea what the issue is or when it’ll be solved? My SA knows nothing (or won’t say).
So frustrating to finally get to my delivery date, see the car, then have the rug pulled out from under me! When will delivery hell end!?
Do you know if that’s what the containment hold is for?

The aluminum hats on those rotors will reduce unsprung weight (improving the ratio of sprung to unsprung weight) and thus aid in handling.Things that make me go hmm … another 10lbs off each corner!
Model S and X ULTRAdiscs — InoKinetic
Save 22-33lbs of Unsprung Weight to Increase Your Performance! The Tesla ULTRAdisc 2-piece rotors are a proven, long-lasting and lightweight solution. They work perfectly with your stock calipers, on and off the track. This massive weight savings will result in improved performance for your Tesla.www.inokinetic.com
Given the weight reduction is nearest the center of rotation, these rotors will not do much for reducing rotational inertia and increasing acceleration/deceleration performance.
The neat thing about using rims to reduce weight is that most of the reduction is in the outer rim portion which contributes greatly to reduced rotational inertia. Carbon rims take this to the extreme with most using alloy centers and carbon outer rim sections.

On the subject of brake disks.
It would seem there is a market for producing hats (the center aluminum rotor carrier) and pairing them with disks from Performance Friction or Brembo. You get the best of both worlds with the weight reduction and a known dependable disk manufacturer.

If I’m able to, I think I’ll go both the rims and these rotors (if they’re a fit)… the Carbon rims actually take off 15lbs per corner
learnt that from the rep at Unplugged Perf. But I’m not sure I want to spend another 10k for the carbon and the 3-4lbs per wheelI was wondering the same thing. That's what I do and if he does, I'm thinking the hypocrisy would be self-guilt. Jus' sayin.
PREACH!!! Here are people bantering about the environment and my ORDER DATE IS FEBRUARY!!! C'mon, let's focus here people!! If anyone deserves to be guilted, shamed or b!tch@d at, it's Elon and Tesla Customer Service

Nope--but I've also not gotten a message from Tesla about the car, so assuming it's not anything too crazy.

Really sounds like they identified an issue during a particular time frame at the factory, in which case only the ones on hold should be affected.
Nothing like “it will spontaneously catch fire, so just let it roll down the street and we will send another one to pick you up”? No? Nothing like that?
I saw that was still in beta so skipped that option

Pulling sophomoric quotes from a philosophy book doesn't change the fact that you are a hypocrite.
Your logical fallacy is tu quoque
You avoided having to engage with criticism by turning it back on the accuser - you answered criticism with criticism.yourlogicalfallacyis.com
tu quoque
You avoided having to engage with criticism by turning it back on the accuser - you answered criticism with criticism.
Pronounced too-kwo-kweh. Literally translating as 'you too' this fallacy is also known as the appeal to hypocrisy. It is commonly employed as an effective red herring because it takes the heat off someone having to defend their argument, and instead shifts the focus back on to the person making the criticism.
Example: Nicole identified that Hannah had committed a logical fallacy, but instead of addressing the substance of her claim, Hannah accused Nicole of committing a fallacy earlier on in the conversation.
Or perhaps:
Your logical fallacy is no true scotsman
You made what could be called an appeal to purity as a way to dismiss relevant criticisms or flaws of your argument.yourlogicalfallacyis.com
no true scotsman
You made what could be called an appeal to purity as a way to dismiss relevant criticisms or flaws of your argument.
In this form of faulty reasoning one's belief is rendered unfalsifiable because no matter how compelling the evidence is, one simply shifts the goalposts so that it wouldn't apply to a supposedly 'true' example. This kind of post-rationalization is a way of avoiding valid criticisms of one's argument.
Example: Angus declares that Scotsmen do not put sugar on their porridge, to which Lachlan points out that he is a Scotsman and puts sugar on his porridge. Furious, like a true Scot, Angus yells that no true Scotsman sugars his porridge.
Hypocrisy
Description
Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another or the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. In moral psychology, it is the failure to follow one's own expressed moral rules and principles.

Is the MS line only capable of building one type at a time? Seems like only LR’s are being built right now and no Plaids. And perhaps they are back on red and the East coast again? I don’t know, but it does seem like reservation number is 3rd in priority. Build, location, RN#.

My EDD went from a date range that moved forward a day for several days to just August but...I got a VIN! 5YJSA1E54MF433xxx
If history is any indicator, that "August" should get whittled down to a range of a week pretty soon.
