Hi everyone - I have a few more "pre-order" questions on the Model X Plaid and since I can no longer edit my first thread, a new "continuation" thread was in order.
#1 - Are the current-delivering 2023 Model X's (LR or Plaid) being delivered with HW4 or HW3? I've heard that HW4 has been delivering since March 2023, but is there any way to confirm that on the car?
#2 - Are the low-voltage batteries still 12V or have they been switched to the 15V architecture that the Model 3 and Model Y's have been using for the past year?
#3 - Are the red brake calipers on the Plaid the same Brembo's used on the performance Model 3 and Model Y or are they different (better) in any way? So many videos I see on Youtube of the MXP highlight just how weak the brakes are in comparison to other vehicles. I have a Model Y Performance and for daily driving/emergency use, the Brembo's seem really good... I'm hoping the Model X Plaid brakes would be equally good, if not better.
#4 - Has there been any rumblings about the Model X Plaid getting the same "track package" (carbon ceramic rotors, wheels, etc.) that the S is getting? https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43806620/tesla-model-s-plaid-track-package-200-mph-top-speed/ It would be fantastic if the brake package alone could be ordered for the X the same as the S.
Thanks (again) for any insight on the above!
