Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

[Jameslook]

I've owned two Plaids and am considering ordering a 2024 IF they add some upgrades. Anyone else in the same mindset? If they don't I'll probably buy an F90 M5 until the Plaid improves.

If trade-in value wasn’t so painfully low on my 2021 Plaid, might have considered it. Still waiting on steam and tilting screen as promised on launch. Oh well

Tilting screen has been there since 2022.

Steam is pretty useless tbh. By the time it loads and I launch a game, the car is more or less done charging. And it can't be accessed from the back seat as far as I know.

As far as the tilting screen... the screen tilted towards the driver is ideal. I hear there's a way to basically lock the manual screen in that position? In that case I wouldn't really care about the screen then.

I hope they put the horn in the center. A front bumper camera and motorized doors like the Model X would be nice.

Center horn has already returned for s/x.
X doesn't have a front bumper camera.

If you're in no hurry, I'd give it a few months to see if front bumper camera rumors are true. Should be coming to Model S and X in the next 6 months (hopefully).

2 Plaids and looking for a 3rd in 2-1/2 years. If you got some cash to burn, I'm your man.

I am waiting to upgrade my 2017 S P100D. Hoping maybe they upgrade seats and/or option for some of the track pack items to be purchases from the factory. I don't see the point in paying for factory brakes/rims that are going to be thrown out when I upgrade to ceramic for example. Seems like paying for the same thing twice. Front bumper camera would be nice. Don't want the car to be worse than what I currently have.

Does the yoke have a center mechanical horn too or just the round?

Are the buttons haptic like the refresh 3?

Yoke has center horn. Buttons are same as before.

What upgrades are you holding out for?

Any word on HD radar? I know it was seen on a teardown of the X last year but I haven’t heard anything about it since. I guess it’s there and lying dormant?

Pretty much. Perhaps running in some sort of shadow mode for verification of the vision data

So far the only change noted is the horn on the airbag. Has anyone else heard anything?

Unspecified "comfort and functionality" improvements applicable only to 2024 and cited as one of the reasons for range reduction in '24.

 

[Tiger]

I'm interested in anything that lowers the price. I'm not interested in bleeding edge first model year of any refresh and the resulting pump and dump from first adopters being ready to pay premium prices. I hope it is as quiet as the Highland Model 3, though.

I just talked to them on the phone. The only changes are the HVAC defogging is more powerful and the dual-zone climate is more responsive. He said this is potentially why there was a change on EPA estimates. He also mentioned the infotainment system was more responsive now. Take that for what it’s worth. I’ll take the higher range. The HVAC was fine and a little higher refresh rate isn’t a huge deal.

Then why wasn't the MSLR 19" reduced in range and why was the MSLR 21" increased in range. Both variants still come with the same tires as last year.

No clue. Just relaying what I was told.
