I wonder when GM will electrify the Corvette. Maybe in 5 years ?The difference for me is that GM needs Corvette..... Tesla can just make Plaid.
Having just read Omar's take, I think he nails it.

+1And what would we be willing to pay for this upgrade? I would pay $3-5k but anything beyond 5 and I would probably skip it.
Me too. The Blue is great. Don't want a y regrets but every time I see the Blue.....Stopped by Mt Kisco shop yesterday and they had a blue LR and MSM Plaid on the lot. The front end is . Reminds me of an Aston Martin. The blue looks rich and fabulous in the sun...made me second guess my MSM choice.
Well this guy didn't seem to thing so!I was told that as long as it was the same model in inventory, it didn’t matter. You’d keep the pricing when you originally ordered. If you change you order, your price increases.

GM will electrify the Vette after it's next bailout - when it's government mandated as part of the bailout.I wonder when GM will electrify the Corvette. Maybe in 5 years ?
FINALLY took delivery of our red 19" Plaid yesterday! Left the Portland OR SC with 333 mile on range estimate. I can't envision using a supercharger ever again. We don't do trips and using a ICE truck for the last couple of months has killed any desire to stop anywhere to refill anything. First home charge last night stopped at 351! Not sure how we're gonna use the 1000 referral miles.
Oh yea the acceleration is beyond your imagination. Violent neck snapping is NOT and exaggeration! Did it to the wife twice on the way home. This power is not a stomp on it thing. Just like at the track you'll want to squeeze that throttle. You can squeeze it fast, just don't stomp on it. I went from 60mph to 104 in literally a blink of the eye. The yoke is easy to us but that power will take some getting used to. Chill is not an option. Kind of defeats the plaid decision. I'll change from Plaid to sport and see the difference later today.
Life is good
Happening now actually. They are calling it the E-ray. I think it will still be a hybrid and will be here in a couple of years.
It's so bad.@Marcust99 The communication is terrible. I understand that the stores are busy, but have somebody answer the damn phone. I canceled my Plaid inventory purchase reservation today. I would have been satisfied if someone local at Charlotte Tesla had been able to answer a few questions. I would have bonded with photos of the orphaned Plaid. If I reserve another Tesla, it’s going to be in state. I just hope I have the resolve to wait for my Blue/Cream MSLR.
@Izolman: "Glad I've got 5 days of full-time work scheduled between now and delivery, it'll help me keep my mind from fixating on the car LOL."I stopped in at the Peabody, MA location (where I'll be taking delivery). They told me my LR is currently on its way out of CA, so it just left Fremont. We set up a delivery appt. for Sep 9th. They offered me the 7th, but I'm working all day and can't get out of that, so this gives them a bit of extra time to baby my baby, no problem...
Also, they said that refunds (my $2K) would probably be sent in the form of a check rather than an EFT credit. Fine, whatever.

lolNice, I take it you have sentry disabled? That's not much loss at all!
i chatted with Tesla in the website and they told me that if it’s the same car, it’s the original RNxxx priceIt's so bad.
His exact txt back to me just now:
"Hi Marcus, If we convert your order to an inventory model we can not do any price adjustments and those models are at the current price book. so the 5k price increase would apply."
It looks kinda cool--think 2023 or so. Not sure if I have seen any plans for a pure electric Vette -- don't think GM could pull it off right now.Happening now actually. They are calling it the E-ray. I think it will still be a hybrid and will be here in a couple of years. Remains to be seen when they go complete electrification. By then the Plaid will be in the 7's....j/k
Looking for something insanely fast that also has incredible handling. Also needs to be comfortable for long road trips for 2 passengers. Trunk needs to be large enough to fit one medium sized suitcase.
lol

Excellent. Ok so far, the Roadster actually seems to be more your style, although the Plaid is really close. The biggest issue is the 5 rating for the comfort, which I'm not sure if the Roadster will do. I will rate both cars as they will likely be, from 1 to 5.
Plaid:
Speed-5.0 until about 100 (where Roadster kicks in)
Handling- 4-4.4
Comfort - 5
Storage space- 5
Roadster:
Speed -5.0 (plus 250+ top speed)
Handling -5
Comfort- 3.5-4 to maybe 4.2
Storage space- 3.5-4
I've had my very best luck talking with the service folks (who are the ones doing the PDI) and asking to see my new baby. They've been way more acomidating than the sales side of the house. Perhaps is because they have to live with me throughout ownership as opposed to the sales side's sign here and we are done.So...my car arrived two days ago. I was told that it might be a day, might be a week, maybe more.
I went to the store yesterday, they were polite but said they did not know if it was being prepared or not and refused to ask, very politely. Today, the third day in a row that my EDD was the same day. I called, was in a long 32 minute wait. Polite telephone answered said the car had been at the store for two days bit they had no idea if it was being prepared or not. I just tried the store again and agin was on an endless loop. I gave up after ten minutes.
