Got my VIN (478), RN1158 LR MSM

My 47768X Built 4/25 got the Swivel Screen, hopefully you do also!

 

[Ohmster]

I'd say it paid for your wrap and wheels and even FSD.

Pretty much since FSD was 8k.

Tilt screen is worth $25k. Easy.

Ouch. Not nice.

There are those that speak of this "algorithm". Some say it is rooted in mystical numerology from Persia, others a grand Lottery controlled by the deep state.

But let's face it, Elon would not have such a simple method. The truth is much more interesting....

Little Elon was brought up in South Africa (I know, later Canada) in a town where a people called "The Happy Folk" lived

Some may see where I'm going with this.

You see little Elons village very existence a mystery to the rest of the world
Obscured as it was by great clouds
Here they played out their peaceful lives
Innocent of the litany of excess and violence
That was growing in the world below
To live in harmony with
The spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough
Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town
They came in camouflaged
Hidden behind dark glasses and no one noticed them
They only saw shadows
You see without the truth of the eyes
The Happyfolk were blind
in time Strangefolk found their way
Into the higher reaches of the mountain
And it was there that they found the caves
Of unimaginable sincerity and beauty
By chance they stumbled upon
The place where all good souls come to rest
The Strangefolk they coveted
The jewels in these caves above all things
And soon they began to mine the mountain
It's rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world
Meanwhile down in the town
The Happyfolk slept restlessly their dreams Invaded by shadowy figures
Digging away at their souls
Every day people would wake and stare at the mountain
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain
Holes began to appear
Bringing with them a cold and bitter wind
That chilled the very soul of the Monkey
For the first time the Happyfolk felt fearful for
They knew that soon the Monkey would stir from it's deep sleep
Then there came a sound
Distant first it grew into castrophany
So immense that it could be heard far away in space
There were no screams there was no time
The mountain called Monkey had spoken
There was only fire
And then nothing.

This is the truth if it. A powerful deity (Monkey) controls the fate of all. Elon has followed the way of "Monkey" to lead him on his quest to find those of us worthy of EV glory.
Choose well and Monkey will reward you with great things. Dig too deep letting impatience fuel your emotions and a terrible fate will befall your dreams and hopes. Monkey will incrementally move your EDD for the rest of eternity.

Or it's driven by Batch process manufacturing where similar cars are made at the same time and shipped to those that placed orders first.

Or an actually monkey throwing poop at a wall with numbers assigned to individual reservation holders.

Pretty sure it's the Spirit of the Mountain though.

TLDR

Anyone know what tire they are delivering on the 19” for the long range currently in the Midwest?

 

[Trialman76]

TLDR

Oh man, then you missed out. It was epic and the PERFECT explanation. Then again, I love that song so...

You my friend are a GENIUS!!! That was so perfect. Thank you... I needed that!

Just when I was going over to the MX thread, I found why I stayed here so long.

Yep, same. I prefer this much more mature and sophisticated forum. I have yet to read any beautiful poetry over there.

Very wise, I now see the light...

But now I just ponder the thought....Maybe it is not the monkeys creating all the chaos ....but Gorillaz?!

Anyone know what tire they are delivering on the 19” for the long range currently in the Midwest?

Which ever you don't want. They are telling me I can refuse the car if do not get all season tires. I will need all season tires this Winter.. It will be a driver's car!

 

[chirowolf]

I'll find out Thursday. I requested All-Season and was told if the car is delivered with Summer, they would change them out.

 

[Midwst modlS]

I got my SA to say in a text it would be all seasons so I figure that is somewhat binding. I had to ask like 4 times to get one of them to slip up and say it would be delivered with the all seasons.

That is my one and only victory in this process thus far...and in the end they will likely deliver summer tires and tell me too bad...

 

[Rikster]

My SA kept assuring me my car would come with the 19 inch all-seasons, so of course it came with the Pirelli Summer Tires! I picked up in Kansas City. On the bright side, Tesla did replace my tires with the All-Seasons, and I even got to keep the summer tires as a backup. Overall, I'm happy with that outcome!

 

[ASMills85]

Everyone that is able to get summer tires converted to A/S. This is only for the LR, correct? I was told A/S is not an option on the Plaid.

Damn, that's like an extra ~$1,500ish in your pocket easy.

 

[Laddcruzer]

Tilt screen is worth $25k. Easy.

But the tilt screen produces a distinctive rattle that drives you crazy. Just like the new hinges slow down the car. Says me, the jealous but happy owner of a June, 2021 build.

More front pix as requested.

Did you take the Tesla logo off

 

[Ohmster]

Did you take the Tesla logo off

Yup. And replaced it with one on hood. Like it so much better. But if you do this, you have to patch and paint the holes and back piece. And to do that right, the whole bumper has to come off.
