I think it's pretty much known that the Plaid+ will be using the new cells.........and anyone that wants it is going to going to be paying 20k more to get it. I think that's enough of a deterrence.

She's a little temperamental, like most geniuses (ask me how I know)
Oh, that’s what we’re blaming temperamental behavior on? Okay, I can get jiggy with it.
I bet there are some real whales on this forum... I sense the lost of several "free model Y's" today on paper.
The people in those groups rarely have a clue what they are doing, and they refuse to listen.
I would be shocked if the cumulative paper losses today weren't above 10 million just for the active members. Above 20 is more likely.
I see. You are holding out on us an not too ashamed to say so.
OK, briefly as this is not a Bitcoin thread.
A currency has three purposes, unit of exchange, unit of account, store of value; any cryptocurrency needs to do all three.
Most of the money supply in a modern economy is not provided by governments printing money, it is by private banks lending against fractional reserves, cryptocurrencies don't allow this.
Most Cryptocurrencies cannot expand/contract the M1 money supply to counteract changes in the velocity of money M2. This will amplify boom/bust cycles.
Countries need their own currency, attempts to use another currency (or pegging against another currency) have always failed, a single world cryptocurrency would cause similar problems.
Cryptocurrency should work offline.
There are legitimate reasons why other people need to access cryptocurrency accounts, including court orders (proceeds of crime, maintenance), probate, auditing, tax investigations, guardianship.
Stop losses work for a company such as GM or GE, where there's no significant upside and you don't want to lose your entire investment. Not so good for volatile growth companies.
I agree.
I've had the Plaid+ S reserved since September and I did order a Plaid X but I am likely to cancel the X. I live in the mountains now and while I've had zero range anxiety in my M3P I just feel dumb forgoing that extra range.
There seems to be a work-around, you can get them delivered with getting options exercised @lklundin made this work, maybe he can comment...

As of January 2021, NHTSA had yet to approve the yoke steering wheel for use in the USA. (It's legal in Europe.)

Edit: I suspect it will be approved and offered as an option (alongside the regular wheel) as deliveries near. Screenshot of my reservation specifying the Yoke wheel below

Diamond hands?
Hm.... what's the next level hard, the 'turn it up to 11' kind of hardness?

I would like to suggest an all out ban on Gary Black mentions/posts. These clowns add nothing to the conversation. Didn't understand why people were posting his stuff from the get-go, he was just cheerleading with unrelated math providing his "logic".
Thoughts on Elon's "metafork" and now "meta for k" twitter bio? Obviously the former brings up thoughts of forks in the road as per his avatar picture. The latter though... Potassium comes to mind and it has some promise in batteries from what I'm seeing. It would be very odd to see a battery breakthrough this soon after Battery Day though. Other speculation has been around various types of crypto but that's already a fairly tinfoil hat area. I hope it's something related to the Tesla core business.

If they don't have the yoke wheel figured out today, for technical or approval reasons, can there really be any deliveries even in March? They can't ship them out, so therefor not build them, without letting the buyers actively chose that they are ok with a regular wheel.
As for Europe there is very little time left to have any shipped here and delivered in Q1.

I vote definitely above 20.
Now that you mention it, mine says the same (identical build in fact).As of January 2021, NHTSA had yet to approve the yoke steering wheel for use in the USA. (It's legal in Europe.)

That's heartening. I want the yoke to "happen"
Doing some quick extrapolation in my head I think we need to add a zero to that 20.

I would say closer to 50M. But it's a number that doesn't matter except to the extent someone had decided to sell but didn't place the order in time.

You have...great taste
Do you show an estimated delivery date? As of last week, my estimated delivery (previously March 2021) no longer appears in-app or online.
Additionally/for what it's worth, I just built a Model X Plaid using the configurator on Tesla.com. The "Yoke Steering Wheel" does not appear as a listed feature. It does, however, appear prominently in the imagery adorning the order page.
