Where are the Plaids?

[sorka]

Supposedly shipping but nobody is appears to be getting them and there are yet any youtube videos of anyone actually driving them. When Plaid S shipped, it took less than 24 hours from the very first shipments for the first 1/4 track videos to be posted.

I'm wondering the same. I've only seen a handful of them delivered, and my June 2021 order still shows February.

Have you supercharged yet starting below 34% at a V3 supercharger and did you get 250kw up 34%? Also, are you getting any drive axle shudder at maximum acceleration at lower speeds?

So two part answer here. Regarding the charging speed -- yes. Definitely yes (but not yet in my Plaid). Prior to my Plaid, I had a 2019 MX P100D, so that's my reference with regard to Supercharging. Unfortunately, that car was in for service in December, threatening a holiday road trip I planned, so I rented a refreshed Long Range MX over the holidays for the road trip (San Francisco to Palm Springs and back). As a byproduct, it helped me get acclimated to the yoke before actually receiving my MX Plaid. The LR charged SUPER fast (compared to my MX P100D). I did pull 250kw for a good clip, then it tapered from there as charge level increased, but yes, I hit 250kw. If I arrived at a Supercharger with less than 10% charge, it'd start charging on the slow side (~150kw) but as soon as I tipped over 11% it'd ramp to 250kw.

Regarding the drive axle shudder, I'm aware of that issue, but never had it in my 2019 MX P100D, and can't say I experienced it in the 2021 MX LR I rented, and haven't experienced it in my 2022 MX Plaid either. Having said that, I only have about 100 miles on the new MX now, so who knows if it's waiting to rear it's ugly head somewhere down the road. For now all is great.

They called today to change our Plaid at no charge to a 6 seater. When we looked on the site they without any notice changed to Dual Motor? What's up with that?

Do you mean your "design details" or purchase agreement or something else? I don't see dual motor anywhere on my plaid order or on the order site.

It's a change in naming convention to separate the Dual motor X from the Tri motor Plaid. Same cars.

It is in the title of a new car order on the site. The new names above the buttons to select a regular X or Plaid are "Dual Motor All Wheel Drive" and "Tri Motor All Wheel Drive".
