Will you shut up for a minute?! I'm trying to do some investigative journalism here, unlike that guy that runs that fake news tesla blog.
What? 50 amp is 50 amp. 4-5x faster. I think your very confused. The charger that comes with cars have a adapter that converts to 50 amp plug. Not talking about the 110 v setup. Just comparing the wall charger to the supplied charger both on 50 amps. Dont think the wall charger does anything higher. Or am I wrong
Don’t let anyone see that you believe the yoke is a nonissue. You’ll be called a fanboi and a fool! How dare you not hate it! It’s an “abortion” from what I’ve been told to believe!
Never mind that you’re 6500 miles in and I’m 5100 miles in and find it completely a nonissue. And that there are thousands of cars out there now with no issues. And that there are aspects I actually like about it. That matters not! What matters is that it’s simply wrong and we have no valid opinion, preference, or thoughts when someone knows very clearly how wrong the yoke is and how ignorant everyone that doesn’t mind it is! Even when these people in the know don’t have a car.

As someone who just returned the M3P after having it overnight, the M3P is not going to have the same top end as the LR (based on reports that it has a strong pull from 60-100 compared to prev gens). It also lacks the space, as well as the suspension dynamics.
That said, for the money the M3P is really a great car to have as a daily commuter. I'm really torn now, and I may actually end up with a M3P for the time being while I wait for the S.
Refreshed S LR Pros:
- Stronger top end pull (per reports)
- More cargo
- Adjustable air suspension
- More refined driving characteristics w/o sacrificing handling (per reports)
- Range
- More comfortable for back passengers
- Better interior
- Cheaper (by 20-40k depending on configuration and when you ordered your MSLR)
- Still crazy fast for the money
- Go Kart like handling
I'm not an electrician (only play one on TV), but I believe the 50 amp plug connector still is limited by the capacity of the line you're plugging it into. So if it's a high capacity house line (from a higher capacity breaker at the house panel and with sufficient amp wiring to the plug) then yet you should get equal performance. But the 50 amp adapter doesn't help much if the current is limited at the house panel.
Does anyone who recently got a Model S want to confirm the first 3 of the last 6 digits of their VIN for compairsons sake?
Seems like @Kyle [CK] got one out of the temp lot, but the rest of you, its hard to tell.
Not necessarily. I found a Plaid 431 a few weeks back and all the flyovers since have the same cars in there. You would likely need the entire last six digits to tell, but even Omar's delivery event Plaid is 431. I thought someone else posted that they had a 430 and it was fine. 431 seems like a customer hold, hold and then finally releasing it. Odd it lasted through EoQ, but Tesla be Tesla.

I am in the same situation plus red and 19" wheels.

Well, since we had a sample size of one, I was going to write a hate article about it for clicks.
Although I too received the email yesterday from Tesla, my EDD remained blank. . . until this morning. I am now "February." I placed my order on Battery Day, i.e., September 22, 2020. I am hoping this is just some sort of placeholder. If February holds, I should have told them I will just hold out for the Plaid+ 
That’s an interesting way to do it. But for me, every gouge during those four years will bug me. Had so many chips in my m3p, I decided I would just plunk down on the plaid, since I’m likely to keep it longer.
seems like 99.9% of persons who got pushed back significantly, have the white interiors.
Wasnt there someone on here recently saying he saw 1 white interior, therefore, there is zero issue/zero delays associated with the white interiors? lol

Exactly. New orders of the same config are getting priority over those of us that ordered 1 year ago. All of that to make an extra $10k? That's really poor treatment of customers.
I was going to type this up, but held off because of the "well I have seen white interiors so there is no way they are delayed" responses.
Think I have only seen a handful (as in two or three) of white interiors have any sort of date range estimate besides a month in 2022. And it is crazy that 2020 orders are not the ones getting them.

This has been an ongoing supply problem for some time. A few months ago, I recall the wait to get to a pier in SoCal was something around 2 weeks. It would make sense that this backlog is not getting better.
Additionally, there is an issue with return of shipping containers to China. This creates an secondary shortage in that containers to fill/ship may be a limiting factor.

EDD now August 26 - September 4.
Guys, P=IV, power=current x voltage. 240V x 40A (80% of 50A breaker) = 9.6kW or about 29 mi/hr charge. This is typical residential service. If you have commercial electrical service, you'll probably charge at 208V so lower power for the same current (amps).
