Isn’t This is supposed to be the delivery thread for us unlucky bastards!
Tesla doesn't do "model years". They make changes all the time whenever the parts are ready.And how are you “guaranteed” that Tesla will in fact change the lights for model year 2022? And even if Elon tweets that new front and/or rear lights are coming for the 2022 MS…don’t you think that could change or be delayed? Just posing these questions since I think we all know the answers despite being in denial. With Tesla, nothing is certain. If I were you, I would take delivery of what you have already ordered. But it’s your choice.
I was told we have to use the Tesla Bluetooth units only. $300.00 plus tax for the four.for those with aftermarket wheels. Are you using Tesla TPMS or is there a proven cheaper aftermarket alternative?
I still have yet to see any direct evidence that it is the 10k increase rather than supply shortages. Is it possible that an order was cancelled / rejected after a car shipped to a location, and that car just went to the next person on the list in the area with the exact same config? Sure. Are there other odd situations where someone got to cut the line? Almost certainly...Ditto. That is why they will fulfill recent order for $10k more first, rather than an order placed 9 months ago.
What is a "non cold climate"? I live in CA (NorCal - Bay Area) and require all season. I go to Tahoe multiple times per year.I did not ask, sorry! I’m thinking it’s only for a subset of LR that live in cold climates, but that’s just a guess. The Tesla post-delivery tech did write at one point that “performance “ vehicles (which I equated to Plaid) were supposed to get Summer and “non performance “ vehicles (which I equated to LR) were supposed to get AS. But for non cold climates there would be no reason to give them AS, right?
Update: They attempted to move the delivery back 2 days as I was calling my uber to go over to the dealership. They said they need a paint specialist to fix "sand marks" on the car. I told them I just want the car and they can fix those at a later appointment. They agreed to compromise and do a delivery in the late afternoon today. As further context, I purchased one of the cars that came up randomly in Tesla's inventory a week or so ago, after seeing someone post about it on this forum. My original order from 2/5 was dropped for this one, which has a similar configuration (Plaid / Black / Cream / CF / 21). However, this one's VIN is in the "430" range so it's likely (?) one of the cars that was sitting in the lot. I will find out later, hopefully.
Congratulations and thanks for the initial impressions. It's really weird about the change from a cream to a white interior but if that is what you really wanted, congrats again!Got my Plaid this afternoon! After a short 35 mile drive from the delivery center, I have some first impressions.

The car is gorgeous. Did they deliver it without the front license plate holder or did you take it off as soon as you got home?
You may be one of the first (non-Plaid-Day) deliveries with WHITE seats! Glad to see the white/cf interior cars are coming! Hopefully mine is one of the next ones; oh wait…still need a VIN, lol! . Maybe in the next few days as my account still remains at 9/20-9/30. Thank you for the write up and congrats! Beautiful!!!Got my Plaid this afternoon!

- Tesla's delivery experience is a joke, which we all put up with because the car is anything but. There wasn't a single proactive inbound call from Tesla related to scheduling delivery of this car. Only call-backs over the last week. When I did show up to my delivery, they were finishing detailing the car. I peeked at it and noticed the car had a white interior, which is what I originally ordered but since I replaced my original order with an inventory car with cream seats, that made no sense. Apparently they replaced the seats! I have no clue if this was an error or a favor, but I somehow ended up with the exact configuration I wanted: Plaid / Black / White / Carbon / 21. Happy day! I spent a total of 25 minutes picking up my car.
- I had to sit in traffic on the way back so didn't get to floor it, then conveniently was first at a red light at a pretty wide road near my house. When I did, I started cracking up uncontrollably, just like I did when I bought my first Tesla, a Model 3 Performance. This thing is an aggressive beast; you can feel it overpowering gravity. I also got a chance to accelerate a bit on sections of the highway and experienced just what I've read from others on this forum, that you get a head rush going from 50-80, which is not the case with my M3P.
- The yoke felt quite natural, and even better than a steering wheel, when driving on the highway. Gives a nice feeling of control. I had to do a multi-point turn to back into my driveway and that's where it was less convenient than a wheel. I imagine I'll adjust, and I ultimately don't care compared to how cool it looks to me -- not to mention the added visibility it gives -- but that was one drawback I noticed.
- The seat managed to be just as comfortable as my Model 3 white vegan leather seat, which is the most comfortable seat I've ever driven in. It feels slightly wider and more captain-like, shall we say?
- Miscellaneous bits: The new UI is fantastic. Love the door handles (I haven't ever driven an S). Interior is gorgeous and feels well appointed. Sound system felt fine, didn't stand out. Excited to try out the rear screen.
Should be starting mid October based on previous years.@Ohmster we need to look for the VINs to start showing up w "N" to indicate a 2022 model year. But, when oh when is that going to be?? Mid Dec? Late Dec?
Congrats but thats really strange you got yours today but they holding mine due to a firmware issueGot my Plaid this afternoon! After a short 35 mile drive from the delivery center, I have some first impressions.

Every week the cars change. Next week they'll be different.
It's futile to try and time your purchase.
I knew this was coming.Where the hell did you get an image of @2021plaid? I finally have a face to go with the name.
