Were you blank before VIN assignment or did you have a date range for a while?VIN! It happened, it actually HAPPENED! EDD shrunk to Aug 6-10! Cannot wait to update this forum with pics of those ugly 19's!

I think the hopes / assumptions are that those cars will not be delivered and are hopefully slated for showrooms or other corp target slots. But all speculation. Seems like they would have shipped them by now if they were customer targeted cars.I cant search the word "VIN" on this forum or read through 2800+ pages again so can one of VIN experts chime in.
I'm sure no one who is waiting for a VIN wants one from the lot of 450 cars sitting in Freemont sun now for over 3+ months for the obvious issues, from a prolonged parking such as paint, battery, tires etc...as well as unknown issues as to why those cars are just sitting there.
Therefore can anyone guess which VIN's or range of VIN's to be on the lookout for over the next few months based on the reported VIN's of those who have taken delivery or are already in process?
I don't know about that given their typical end of quarter push system--nothing would surprise meI think the hopes / assumptions are that those cars will not be delivered and are hopefully slated for showrooms or other corp cars.

Man, you don't know how relieved I am about the ponies! The other stuff I could have dealt with...just not the ponies!Not judging your decision good or bad - you do what is best for you and your family.
However, basing it off a few videos of people struggling with the yoke is not reality. Sure, some do struggle but I can say from real life experience (not "kool-aid drinking" as some would say), with 6300 miles on the yoke it is a non-issue. I have not hit one curb, car, tree, garage, pony, etc. Sometimes the buttons annoy me but unlike stalks - the buttons are always at my thumb-tips and are easy to manipulate. Just like a stalk - up is opposite and down is current side signal - the yoke buttons are the same - top is opposite and bottom is current side. Now, I do hit the wiper button sometimes when I do not want to hit it.
Find someone who will let you try it and find out for yourself.
agreed....but they were there at the EOQ for the last quarter also..and no movement.I don't know about that given their typical end of quarter push system--nothing would surprise me
Exactly!Red Corvette convertible with white coves! Now that’s a classic peacock!
Why are we unsure of this? The LR rear drive unit appears to be the same as the Model 3 - p/n 112098-00-J. The website does not say anything about the LR having Carbon wrapped rotors while they are specially called out in the Plaid specs.That is something we aren't exactly sure about..... On one hand, it would make almost no sense to have carbon-wrapped rotors on a car that has quite different gearing on both axles vs. the Plaid, which has the same ratio front and back. On the other hand, the LR seems to be holding power all the way through the quarter mile, so that may be the case then. I guess if you think about it, maybe the different gearing doesn't really end up mattering as much if both motors can make their max power and hold it in the end....
Excellent! Another 19er with a VIN. Could you please update your entry with the VIN's three digits after MF and your vehicleMapId in the tracker sheet? I added an entry for you at the bottom of the second sheet:VIN! It happened, it actually HAPPENED! EDD shrunk to Aug 6-10! Cannot wait to update this forum with pics of those ugly 19's!
Many pages back in this thread someone posted a screenshot of a table in the S manual. Only the Plaid has carbon wrapped rotors. LR does not.Why are we unsure of this?

Blank until early Aug, then EDD that kept shrinking until VIN.Were you blank before VIN assignment or did you have a date range for a while?
Exactly! This is why I'm so confused. The manual is the telling indicator though, as Tesla has to state what each vehicle has, regardless of place in model hierarchy. I do think these motors are separate from the M3 though, as they are making wayyy more power, and are holding power contrary to what the M3 does.Why are we unsure of this?

I just want a date range at this point. Been Blank for over two months nowBlank until early Aug, then EDD that kept shrinking until VIN.

Unscrew the 3 screws in the front, it lifts the body colored cover off the bracket which is then mounted onto the bumper with double sided tape.Congrats! Can you tell us the process you used to remove the front plate?
Most definitely does lmao, a solid inch more space between the garage door and the front bumper now!Everyone is missing the point. By removing the front license plate frame it gives him the extra room to get in and out.
Attaching pics, some were already posted but it’s for the quick license plate bracket guide above. It’s been raining the last couple of days so haven’t been able to do any good photo shoots other than snapping a couple of pics here and there with my phone.I would love to see more pictures of your MSM. Same specs as my order. Congrats!
Given the DU is the same as the 3, I would guess the mystery battery pack (plus maybe the beefier cooling) is responsible for the LR's behavior.Exactly! This is why I'm so confused.

So, I've thought of another possibility: it's possible that the LR motors are NOT carbon-wrapped, and are just so efficient that up to the LR's top speed, there is little to no taper. But after 155 is maybe where they would start to drop off. That is where the carbon-wrapped rotors come in on the Plaid. Although it has been incorrectly stated in the past that the rotors don't have anything to do with the nearly flat power curve on the Plaid, this is not true. They do, as they help maintain that really strong EM field up to nearly 20,000 rpm. So my new guess is that the LR’s motors are quite efficient in their own way up to a certain point, and that they are simply the best PM motor in an EV that doesn't use the carbon-wrapped rotors. This would help explain how the LR can hold power like it does. Then, for the Plaid, the rotors are applied to maintain that power at 155+ by keeping that EM field efficient and strong.

But what about the massive power difference? Each motor on the LR is likely making between 335 and 340 hp, vs. roughly 280 and 250 for the M3P.Given the DU is the same as the 3, I would guess the mystery battery pack (plus maybe the beefier cooling) is responsible for the LR's behavior.
