Uhhhhhh after 11.49 in the quarter mile, you need a six point harness, and all kinds of safety stuff too:
Guess you're screwed if you bought the LR and want to unleash its potential.....

I have zero interest in going to track again…been there, done that many times with previous cars. We ALL know how quick the MS Plaid is and I’m certainly happy I ordered it and not the LR. Different strokes for different folks.
I might take you up on that! I’ll be selling the 19s I think.

Yes, pretty much! Though to be fair, when we first ordered last Sept, the original delivery estimate was for late-2021.. of course, this was for a fairly different product (4680 cells, structural pack).
But the unfortunate bit for us is that the 18650-cell non-structural Plaid has been shipping for almost 2 months, and we still don't have an official EDD.
If they hadn't given me a July delivery date back in June, I wouldn't have sold my M3P last weekend. I find that it's all about expectation management.
Anyway, back to waiting and refreshing. Fun times!

I called my SA a couple of weeks ago and was told to expect delivery around sept-nov. It sounds like a realistic timeline considering not a single 19inch plaid car has received a VIN or delivery. Once the first plaid delivery with 19 inch wheels happens, the first LR/19 inch will happen probably 3-4 weeks later at the earliest. This is the similar pattern that happened on June 10th.

I know how it happened so quickly: $10k more profit for Tesla
(21" wheels helps, too)Sorry, too cynical?
Anyway, congrats and please post photos!

Honestly, it's very hard to notice since it just adds a tinge of hue on the screen. I doubt you will get pulled over for it as the sole reason. The only way you get cited for it so you get pulled over for speeding and the cop is diligent enough to notice it.
Yeah... I have had 35% on sides and rear window on a few vehicles and never gotten stopped. But dumb that our law is 50% on cars, but "no limit" in SUVs

Sure. As I’ve said before, it also depends on what you’re coming from. If you drove a Toyota Camry, I suppose a Tesla Model S LR would feel like an other-worldly, ridiculously fast vehicle while the MS Plaid would potentially be a little much for you. However, if your last car driven was a Porsche 911, Ferrari, Lambo, GT-R or something like that (or maybe a different EV) and you love going fast in your own sports car or sports sedan, you might be happier with the MS Plaid; you want the most bang for your buck so to speak and $130k would be a bargain considering your car is quicker than a $3m Bugatti Chiron!Some of us are peacocks

This made me laugh. I named my 39ST Contender “Low Profile”. The name was ironic with its trip 425s.Some of us are peacocks
was there ever any traction with the open letter to elon? Any response from anyone at all from Tesla on that?

Nothing on Twitter at all. We retweeted and liked and tagged a LOT of YouTube / Twitter Tesla influencers and got nothing.
He picked up the car at the Devon PA store. It is the car he ordered, not one that became available.
