Thanks!

It's definitely odd that their new Flagship model doesn't have their latest and greatest technology.
I am not sure anyone knows. The cars are shipping with radar, but that does not mean its being used. It seems all the time and effort is being put into the vision stack, so, like so many other things, maybe running some interim Franken-code right now. The new AutoPark appears to be vision-only, so maybe that is a hint on future direction.
 
It’s true, have had my car for 6 weeks but here everyday checking on @Tigers @Hayseed @sam3194 and all the people that made the wait good, still trying to like all @2021plaid s posts but jeez I can’t keep up. Really good community (for the most part) with a common interest. Kudos to you all, those still waiting keep the faith, it’s a ducking good car!
My bad, forgot @omarsultan, legend!!!

If it makes you feel a little better, I had the same call six weeks ago. They offered me wood and cream instead of C/F and cream. I said I’d wait because I really wanted the carbon fiber. Then in 3 days I had a VIN and they wanted me to come and pick up my C/F Plaid. Glad I waited because I got what I really wantEd.
I would Love it if a VIN shows up in 3 days! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

So a word of caution for folks thinking about swapping out trim at a later date. Pre-refresh, this was trivial. With the Palladium cars, it is a bit more complicated. The door and dash trim is still straightforward. The issue comes from the insert in the 2nd row arm-rest. From what I can decipher from the EPC, the insert is not available separately and the armrest is also not available separately. You have to get the entire left seat assembly which is $2K--it is also "restricted" which is an additional hurdle. Now, perhaps Service has something they can do, but make sure you do your due diligence if you are planning to swap out trim.

Why is the GMC in the garage and the Plaid is punished like the red (get it <insert rim shot>) headed step child?

Wow, this is great info. My heart would have stopped had I actually accepted the wood trim car! Thanks @omarsultan

Would be funny to see LR's swapping in CF and Plaid's de-badging.
