Exactly. Amazing car...same level of awesomeness when it was introduced half a year ago....and less awesomeness than the Plaid+ with no explanation on why it was cancelled. Plaid is not good enough if it is slower and has 120miles less range.

What’s up with all the inventory Model Ss stockpiled all over Fremont? Do they still need some part to be delivered?
Tesla owners of silicon valley tweeted a video clip inside the plaid model X
Well we got ourselves into an expectation frenzy. Nothing new but doesn't take away from the amazing car this is. One of the most abused marketing phrases in the automotive world is 'all new'. This is pretty all new except ironically most of the exterior. New motor, new pack, new chassis, new interior, new software, new HVAC. This is Tesla's best foot forward on every aspect of a car. On pretty much any measure the best car in the world. Looking forward to my long range S in August (which for reference will add ~70% more range than my 2012 Model S).
That black car on stage sure does look tempting though.

Tough crowd. To be fair, I didn't find other car company release thrilling also. I think we all were spoiled after the Roadster 2 surprise.
Sorry, cat, for complaining some more but
That was objectively the worst Tesla livestream I've ever seen. I've seen all of them and I've bothered my spouse about all of them before watching. They no longer question my reasoning for watching, because they know they cant's stop me.
It's not remotely about Elon. It's about the content. It was pretty awful. It's ridiculous that I have to spell this out, to you, of all people but it wasn't the delivery. I didn't expect a Saul Goodman experience.
I expected more than "hey here's this ultra hyped up event to celebrate something that...everyone already knows about. sweet. i'm elon, signing off. check out my cool newish haircut."
The fastest production car in the world...
The safest car in the world...
The most technologically advanced car in the world...
I’ve an open mind; but you naysayers need a bit of perspective.

it would have been really powerful if they showed one doing a sub 2 second 0-60. I'm kind of surprised they didn't
This is not about people's expectations ... the Plaid versions (looks like there is an X) deserve a proper unveiling .... I guarantee you there are more surprises that have yet to reveal themselves. I can't believe they can's spend a few bucks and hire someone who knows how to put on a show and give these groundbreaking products the unveiling they deserve.

That power curve was the most impressive thing of the reveal. No other manufacturer has anything like it and the ones that try can't match it (or the range and efficiency). No drop in power all the way to 200 mph! It's all about the thermal management. Lithium ion batteries in general are capable of a lot more than manufacturers allow them to give because they have to preserve their lifespan. By keeping the battery in the sweet spot it can minimize degradation and unlock more performance.

I think that’s what Elon did in the beginning but the camera views didn’t work out right.
I like boring. Boring is good. We don’t need gimmicks. Tesla leads in every way. That is all that matters.
Just re-watched...he said "we're gonna deliver the first 25 cars now and then basically should be at several hundred cars per week soon and 1000 cars per week, probably, next quarter".
What a car!!!, but a “Well OK then” moment for me(Since plaid is way out of my budget)
The thing I am looking forward to is how these deliveries and estimates for all Model S deliveries the next few weeks will effect the P&D report and the top/bottom line. Wondering if @The Accountant has revised his P&D numbers over the last week/hour?

no calls, no puts, no short term positions of any kind. I merely own roughly 6,500 shares of Tesla stock. and i'd appreciate it if they could put together a professional presentation for major livestreamed events.
It was like the scene from the movie where you move so fast signal from the camera failed. Then you realized you are slightly younger than everyone else due to relativity.
