My 13 year old now takes out the trash. It was worth it.

Call me paranoid:Yup. Have a closer look. They route to your financial center’s credentials challenge. The API prevents them from recovering/seeing any password info. The bank itself has to approve the linkage and method of interaction to your accounts. To be super nutty safe, I link it only to my holding account that exists just to move and receive funds.
Yup. Agreed.

Since I have never done this I must suffer from some level of learning here. I go to the parts catalog, I find a part. That's it- it just shows it to me. How do I actually buy it?
I told him that's how I got tall and he'd never be taller than me without doing it.
He didn't really buy it, but he's taking no chances. It's pretty clear he's convinced that once he's taller than me, he runs the house.
If only that were true....
Put the part #s into a service request. Category other.
Or stop by your SC service desk and ask for them. But risking they may need to order in any case.
OK- I do not have a car yet so I cannot place a service request. I guess this goes to the whole Rich Rebuilds complaint on how hard they make it to get parts. I guess I will have to wait.
My EDD just jumped from Sept 26-30 to Oct 7-27…… MSM/blk/19/FSD

Now Tesla is automatically assigning Delivery Appointments. I happen to log on to my Tesla Account page and it shows that I’m picking up my Plaid at 0830 this Wednesday. Nice of them to let me know. no texts. No emails. Glad I checked!
(I give it a 50/50 chance this actually sticks and my car is ready)

If parts catalogue says no VIN required you may be able to buy them at SC. But there is a possibility the service desk will still want them tag to a vehicle because the system requires it. That was my experience so we just tagged the order to our X. You can always use a friends tesla for SC to assign them to something that exists.

Plaid, white on black, CF, 8/27/21, Track Pack
I started by wanting to go “all out” 295/325 on 10.5 and 12 on 21” without any poke. The 325’s won’t fit. I considered the 285/305 20” package on 10 and 11. Also considered 22”. In the end using the OEM rear all around appealed to me for some reason. Jamie says its flush in the front. He adjusted the offset rear to be flush as well. 10.5” width all around.

But without a proper "Tire Warmup" mode (read: burnout), it's going to be impossible to heat those slicks up enough to get any decent traction out of them.
Elon, we need a "Tire Warmup" mode!
That is a good idea on the friends portion- the SC is 45 min away so not worth a special trip.
You can simply order the OEM wheel and/or whatever the current tires are through Parts/Service (just open a ticket via the app) but your paying Tesla labor rates for no good reason. I am always a fan of building a relationship with a local tire shop--super helpful if you need a tire patched in a hurry, and a lot of places will throw in free rotations, etc.
Tire prices seem to be pretty comparable for the same tire between Tesla and Tire Rack.

I ordered within the first minute or two of Plaid being available on Battery Day. RN11394xxxx.
Plaid / Black exterior / White interior / carbon fiber / 19" wheels.
I have an estimated delivery of October 18th - November 8th.
I know those options were problematic, but it seems like tons of people with the same or similar configs have already gotten their cars or will very soon. I don't know why I was bumped to the back of the line behind so many others. Very, very frustrating. Been waiting over a year now.

okay so I picked up my Plaid yesterday, here are my thoughts:
Delivery:
~ For the most part delivery went super smooth. This is my 4th Tesla and I can tell you that Tesla has come a very long way when it comes to build quality and panel gaps etc. However, there were a few issues with interior that my SA promised will be addressed. Here are the issues:
1) Front Passenger Seat headrest not seated all the way - black threading visible only on the right side of the headrest
2) Driver seat wrinkles
3) Rear Right Passenger Seat wrinkles - looked crappy
4) Front Trim around the Screen had wrinkles
5) Plastic Trim piece under the trunk area next to tail lights was not aligned properly on the right side - it looked bad
6) Missing floor mats and license plat holder - as happened with several other users.
Honestly, the issues were miniscule compared to my past experiences
Impressions:
~ I picked up the car Sunday evening at SC in Ohio and immediately drove the car over 300 miles for rest of the day. I find the car to be:
1) Yoke is a non-issue - Yes, there is a learning curve involved and I did find myself looking for the missing stalks and top of the steering. But it's nothing I cannot get used to and all the other first impression videos and posts here helped me prepare for it immensely. My brother drove my car for only about 5 miles and even he felt like he can get used to Yoke easily.
2) Quieter and more comfortable than my 2020 Raven. The difference in ride quality was obvious to me within the first 5-10 miles. Driving on city streets is eerily quiet in this car and at highway speeds of over 80mph is when you start to hear some road/wind noise but compared to older Model S it's is significantly improved.
3) Acceleration on this thing is carnage, it makes Raven look like child's play especially at higher speeds. You feel the hard pull when you push the accelerator regardless of what your current speed is which is....insane....I mean Plaid
4) Rear screen is marvelous and passengers love it.
Gripe: Only gripe I have is that I do not find the perforated seats on Plaid to be as comfortable and soft compared to my 2020 Raven. This is a huge bummer for me. For some reason passengers on the rear seats did not notice this, however, the stiffness of the driver and passenger seats was immediately evident to my gf and I. I do not know why it felt this way because apparently the consensus is that Plaid seats are more comfortable than 3/Y or Raven. I beg to differ on this one for now. May be the seats need to be broken in or something but they started to hurt our lower backs which is something we never experienced with my Raven. After sitting in my Plaid for over an hour my gf said she loved the center screen, wireless charging, door pockets and every other tiny thing Tesla updated, however, overall she likes my previous car better because of seat comfort
Do I need a new gf?
Plaid is definitely a pleasant upgrade over my last gen Model S which I adore so freaking much and am kind of sad for saying goodbye to it. The stiffness of the seats has me slightly disappointed and leaves more to be desired, may be I'll get over it someday. Pics of delivery issues attached. I am sure some of you will find more sh*t wrong with my car
A huge thank you to all of you especially the ones who go out of their way to help others on this forum, the ones who dealt with my b*tching and moaning for the last few months and lastly the ones who are hilarious. Honestly, my wait wasn't even long compared to the most of you and I hope all of you get your cars soon so we all have something other than the delivery process to complain about
Will post some pics of the car soon.

Agree, this feels unfair. I would have expected you would be getting yours before Oct1. Hard to explain why not. Is your SA communicative? Mine isn't either, but in the case of a Plaid+ conversion they were supposed to have helped you get early dibs. Regardless, your order is 1year old. I'm on the 11th month and its was painful. Haven't had a car either for 4 months since I traded in. Was your EDD ever in Sept at any time? Maybe it's the xcountry part (you being in VA) but that seems doubful.
