YES! Thank you! I've been digging through forums looking for this. I think it looks good.

@lolachampcar 's testing seems to indicate that unfortunately, the MS Plaid doesn't get anywhere near 348 mi. max battery range. I would be interested to hear from others with MS Plaids & LR's to ask what kind of max battery range they're getting with a good mix of highway/city & some "spirited" driving?

Aahhh-haa! Maybe that's their strategy, give you a fake Feb date so you'll be happy with Nov-Dec.
BTW, what is the deal with a blank EDD??? WHY oh why?
Still showing Feb, talked the client relation manager at my local dealer because I have no SA (He left Tesla). He said my file still shows no match, but saw the vin and the EDD so he is just as confused lol.

Don't knock the looks. I regret ordering the 19" wheels especially since I was locked in by the price increases and can't have them (21" at $4500 ok but at $14500
). Those of us that are guys have been told often enough that all we care about are looks and I admit that I spent more time in my garage looking happily at my cars with nice wheels even with all the problems (worse ride for my bad back, damage potential, rash) than the regular ones. Wait, now I feel a little dirty.
Looking for aftermarket wheels now and hoping that lighter forged 19" will get me most of the way there (better looking than 19" with better range than the stock 21"). Also, with the $10k increase (which I have already spent in my head now), I am looking at full XPEL and ceramic now (a first for me).

Good words! I too have in fact noticed those generalizations toward it only being looks. Not necessarily true. There is a handling benefit, and for those that don't want to modify their tires after purchasing, it's no secret that the Michelin PS4S tires on the 21s are likely quite a bit better for traction.Don't knock the looks.

That's horrible. I just got a deliver date of Sunday. Hopefully will go smoothly

Thanks, Bro for that pic! Those rims (ex hubcaps) look good enuf for me. Esp. with the $4500 savings wh I'll promptly be spending on PPF and tints anyway.
FYI: My SA says they can do the 21" afterwards so as to not mess with your config, pricing and EDD (assuming you have one).

A little detail I just noticed. The door trim behind the wood in my LR is matte black. In the Plaid, it's gloss. In every other Plaid I've seen on YouTube, it's matte. What's going on here?

Probably beautiful Tesla inconsistencies lol. I've noticed the exact same thing. A Plaid I sat in had the gloss black trim, and that one seems to be the predominant one, but I've seen many videos where it is matte also.A little detail I just noticed.

Is it by chance missing the matte piece and you are staring at the back of the door panel?A little detail I just noticed. The door trim behind the wood in my LR is matte black. In the Plaid, it's gloss. In every other Plaid I've seen on YouTube, it's matte. What's going on here?

Has anyone that orginally ordered white with carbon, switched to black with carbon? debating on doing it to see if that gets me a car quicker. My CTS-V is sold and getting picked up tomorrow. Dont know how long i can manage in my 1.5 turbo company car without going insane.

Mine is at SC getting tweaked but I pretty sure it is matte in my LR. Remind me to check tomorrow when I receive it back.

@jebinc, It's lucky that you are in Seattle or I would be stopping by your house to reclaim my parts! We did, after all, get our cars on the same day.

Was at the SC today and they had a MSM with 19" waiting delivery. First time seeing them in person. My personal thoughts morphed a bit:
1) The 19" size did not look so out of place on it as I thought it would from the pics.
2) The hubcaps are twice as ugly as I thought they would be (again personal preference).
Will be very interested in seeing the base wheel under the caps. The pics look good. Has anyone found a center cap to match the base wheel underneath?
