M3LR 2018, MYLR 2021, MSLR 2022 & CT on order!
I'd only go for a Plaid if it's very new, has the new lights, and at 120k. I don't think I'll find that anywhere.

I was just thinking the same thing. I went with the LR to save $40k. It is hard to justify that much money for a second faster. For $20k I would be tempted.
I get the Plaid has a bit of the "sleeper" look and that is part of the appeal, but for my $140k I want more.
I think Tesla should have done more with the Plaid to separate it from the LR.
Plaid only wheels choice
Plaid only color
Standard better brakes
Contrasting trim or stitching
steering wheel choice
Free supercharging after doing all those 0-60 pulls
If I'm paying that much more make me feel special. I would assume the speed rush decreases over time and can't be used every time you are in the car, but some of the above features can be appreciated every time you are in the car.
Just my .02. I will still be jealous of the people with Plaids

Having owned/driven both and having sold both, I'm going with Plaid with the new lights.
LR is great as long as you never try a Plaid haha. There is a serious difference in the Plaid's power compared to the LR obviously (but that 1 second is big in practice even though it seems small on paper.).
I sold the Plaid and bought a LR to save the $40k, realized I missed the Plaid's exhilarating acceleration and now I'm back in the queue for a new Plaid haha

It's not the one second you feel, it's the 20+ mph higher trap speed in the Plaid!Having owned/driven both and having sold both, I'm going with Plaid with the new lights.

TBH, I find myself missing that daily cycle of hope and despair that I endured for 14 months from order to delivery
Maybe when it’s CT time
The other interesting thing is that 6 months in, the car still has the new car smell. I’m sure they’ve put in a olfactory generator for it!

When did they change it so you keep your old price if you change color? I asked my SA about this in December and they said I’d have a new price and go to the end of the line.
Keep in mind plaid was never 15K under what is is now. At most you would be saving the amount of the recent plaid increase.
Orders made on Aug 1st 2021 or later can change their configuration. March 19th is when this news came out. Twitter

What’s the logic behind that? Punish everyone that ordered before and hope they cancel?

Absolutely. Gorgeous.A quick photo shoot on a side road near home, and some editing on phone. The design of Model S is so appealing. Can't stop looking at it!

I ordered an LR but to clarify 1 second is really 33% faster in this scenario. That is a huge difference.Having owned/driven both and having sold both, I'm going with Plaid with the new lights.

So the August limitation was removed. From my recent conversations with my friend who is an SA at a dealership nearby and a few others, changes are allowed on all orders
Just ask an SA to take you back a step where you can choose between Cash and Financing again. If you see the "Edit Design" option and then you try to make changes and see old pricing, you're good to go!
I just spoke with a rep and the August limitation still applies. I would be subject to the current price book. I even asked them to revert my order to the payment method step and they obliged. The edit design button is not there. I tried going to the URL manually (tesla . com/teslaaccount/edit-deisgn/RNxxx) and that page wouldn't load, just takes me back to my order details page.
