Ordered my MS Plaid
- Thread starter Zer0t
- Start date
Even though they say the new cells won’t reach volume production for 1-1.5 years, it can still be ready for the plaid as they won’t be selling the plaid at volume, it is very much of a halo carrier, maybe a few thousand tops. 16% more range with a 120kwh pack would boost range to 520mi from the 400 or so of the current S 100kwh.
Post your order numbers so we can speculate where we all are in the delivery queue 
This is the only place i saw it.
Interesting that the 7 seat option is missing from all Model S trims on the order page, not just plaid.

Just accept that was entirely made up and move on. Elon fluff.

Truth is, I thought the range spec was low. I was sure it would be over 600. Oh well, that much time and almost anything could happen!
I also think the only reason it's taking that long is the batteries, not the vehicle itself. If the batteries were ready he could probably put it out in the next few months. And, I agree with a lot of the gentleman above, it will already have an updated interior, and probably a little bit on the exterior, before the plaid is ever shipped.
And, is it really just guys discussing this?

Why would the devs care? They are developing on MCU2s? They probably have a few MCU1's which are used by QA to validate and some dev who drew the short straw to cross-compile and debug issues for MCU1. The devs who wrote v6 are long gone by now.

They ended free supercharging at the same time they cut prices by $5000. For most buyers the $5000 is worth much more than free supercharging. But maybe you're a high user who's an exception.

I need to do the same. Reached out to a Tesla store, they said they would help once the system is up.
Absolutely agree! I was disappointed by the lack of anything "new" except stuff promised or even guessed for much later.

Approx time of order after announcement, and was you order number in the 58,000 range?
BTW, you need to add a MX to round out your page...
Not sure reservation #s are sequential or exclusive to specific models. Might also have regional coding...
If anybody knows for sure please shed some light.

I doubt they got over 100 million reservations.
As for timing, I was interrupted while watching and had to press pause for a while. So the announcement was delayed for me. Ironically it was because Tesla Mobile Service had just arrived at my house.
But these timestamps provide some information although I do not know the exact time it was announced.

Thanks...it seems like it took f o r e v e r to find the order page, but I got my email at 3:57 PM Tuesday, RN113951xxx.
About a 500 orders a minute, seems like plaid is going to be the new black...
