Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

Got some info about the new knuckles. Apparently they are redesigned to accommodate the width of the 20” track pack wheel/tire combo as they are wider than stock.
How many S Plaids have they
Is there really not something weird about not having enough track packages to meet demand (selling out in hours or a day at most), and still being out of stock. Also not actually having them yet to install on customers' cars. Yeah, I get that it's Tesla or whatever, but it almost seems like they don't actually want many customers to have them, or they don't want that many customers to be able to unlock 200mph. I mean, you can hardly build up more demand - people clearly already want them.

Brakes conversion kit just was delivered to my service center in So. California. My install is next week. 6/27.

Another small update, it appears the new knuckles are only required and installed if the 20”’ track pack wheels were ordered. Apparently the new knuckles allow a little more clearance for the wider wheels and tires and this is possibly why the wheels were $1000 discounted with the brake conversion, since they would already be doing work.
This kind of makes sense because someone from Europe with a 2023 ordered a set of wheels from Jova (the company I have make all of my wheels) and they used the default 64.1mm hub measurement, and he reported to me that the 64.1mm is too big.
Waiting to hear back from him when he's able to take measurements, but something is definitely different on the 23+ is sounds like.
Does anyone here have a 23 that wouldn't mind to measure out the hub diameter?

Hub size spec should NOT have changed. All wheels are still compatible with the latest/new revision of knuckle and hub.
Yeah that's the confusing part. I wouldn't think they would change the hub size because it would negate the use of previous wheels.
Just trying to make sure because the dude can't take measurements for a few weeks. Was hoping someone with a '23 could do it for verification.

The track packages are available again and I just placed my order. The installation date is June 29th, but I expect it to slip.

With any luck, they solved their supply issues and the track package will remain available. To be honest, I am surprised that they would sell out of something so expensive and niche. I would love to know what their inventory levels are.
Just have to get someone to buy my Martian 20” and MPP rotors and I’ll get it

I have a 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid, and I can confirm that my service order for the track package includes the phrase:
”Replace Front And Rear Knuckles”

am likewise wondering the difference in installation dates between just ccb's and the track pack. sounds like wheels, tires, or knuckles might be the hold up. might be why Europe got earlier installs (the included tires not being street legal there)

That’s why knuckles were added to the order. I assume if they find you already have the latest revision of the knuckles being a 2023 model they may not swap.
Let me know. Still trying to piece all the variances

I will report back after the install next week (lol… assuming the install occurs on schedule).

Would the ccb kit work with 20" martian wheels?Just have to get someone to buy my Martian 20” and MPP rotors and I’ll get it

You would need to measure the inner circumference as well as setback from the wheel face on both front and rear wheels . With those numbers someone could measure the CCB and let you know if there would be proper and safe clearance.
Chances are good there will be.
