Not all Founders cars are Ludicrous. mtebbe's car is Insane mode. The test ride cars at the launch event, which had Founders plates, were also Insane mode.

Yes. There is a solid bar under the spec plate (P90D) for ludicrous update.
...mark
I'm sure you're right... Though, if the cost is the same and there's no additional range hit, I don't see why not go Ludicrous. Unless it's not "flat pricing" for founders.

Founder #8
I saw F8 charging at the mothership on Friday. The driver (and presumably owner) graciously answered questions and allowed people to open various doors and see details. She said she had gotten it on Sunday (I'm guessing that meant the 17th), and that she thought "all 10, or maybe only 9" founders vehicles had been delivered.
I took a variety of pictures. I noticed only one fit and finish type problem, but I didn't look too hard.
Once I eliminate pictures with recognizable faces in them, there aren't too many left. But here are a few decent ones.
Back
Storage with back seats folded
Inside rear door looking forward. There were two kid seats in the middle row.
Front
Sure looks much bigger than the Model S

Thanks Bet. If you want to post more pics here or hosted somewhere else with a link, I'm sure many of us would be grateful (especially those who chose white!)

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Was that a Pearl/White car with white headliner? It looks nice.
The black seat backs killed it for me on Elon's car. Maybe a colored wrap on them would help with the scuffs and tone them down too.

..and that was...?
I see a couple of things that look like fit and finish issues in this photo, but it could be the photo angle/lighting. Specifically, the driver door handle appears to be crooked. For a fixed handle, I certainly wouldn't expect that. Also, where the bumper meets the front quarter panel, there appears to be an uneven spacing. I realize so much of this depends on angle and curve, so I'm just pointing out what I'm seeing.
Thanks for the photo. That's pretty close to the trim I'd get.

It's great to see that they've seemed to move beyond the first 6 cars. There's starting to be a lot of noise around the internets about how Tesla's pulled the wool over our eyes by launching a couple of token cars to meet the deadline and that they haven't done anything since. I'm assuming this car is one of the first to be made with on the production line (as opposed to hand built).
Maybe I'm totally wrong but I think things are moving slowly but steadily towards volume production.
