I appreciate this analogy as well. I immediately pictured a family sedan versus a V8 sports car. Assuming both cars have a 15 gallon tank, the sedan will burn through much less fuel and therefore "go a further distance" with its full tank versus the V8. Two different purposes. Thanks for the...

Ah. All this time I've been perceiving it as: At this current kW, ignoring all other variables (charge slowing down at higher %, increase in cars), that I would expect to see the 305 miles in an hour. I prefer your way of using kWh, as I'm sure it's also the standard the community uses. I'll...

Hi guys, Leased a Model 3 Dual Motor (2021) for 3 years, using 100% Super Charging (99% at the same station). Needless to say, it was an absolute unit. Using the same Super Charging station (72kw), I would be getting 305 mi/hr, and around 275 mi/hr when crowded. My 2024 MSPlaid, however...

That's ridiculous. So basically the "Vision" is what we will be getting, losing parking sensors--something that older models have. I'm starting to feel that the price reduction wasn't just for "price competition" lol.

No problem. Opaque is putting it lightly! I bet by tomorrow into early next week we will be seeing a ton of VIN assignments.

Does Canada have any known delays?? It's only a matter of time man. You win best handle of this thread by far lol! Downgrading features in newer model year cars irks me. Is this really the case? So, I've periodically texted a (510) number. They always end their texts with "-Tesla...

Great. Thanks for confirming! Oddly enough, I was assigned a VIN an hour after I texted Tesla regarding any '24 SPlaid updates, lol. No price change about the color. So for everyone who locked in in December when colors were $0, there should be peace of mind there. Note that I never placed...

Update: Model S Plaid VIN has been officially assigned. Before I can proceed, I need to accept this "Tesla Vision." I don't see anything about a price change, as I'd assume it would show as a required change, like the Tesla Vision (I don't even know what this is). The VINs last 8 digits...

Same here. From 2/28 to 3/2. Does anyone know what the standard window of delivery would be? I'll be out of town 2/28 and 2/29. Side note, saw around 8 Model 3 Highlands on a truck this morning. Wish I saw a truck full of MS's lol.

Darn! I'm a city over in Pasadena. I'm wondering if it's still there.

That provides peace of mind; I appreciate the info! I don't mind waiting a little more than I already have, but knowing the model year would definitely make things easier and less anxiety inducing lol! I think you're right. At this point playing the waiting game seems to be the best option...

Came to check back at this thread! Delivery date min keeps changing to current date. Max is staying the same at 2/28/2024. Order placed 12/13/2023. MSP Solid Black, black, wheel,19"s. Still have not received a single VIN. I will absolutely refuse a 2023. Are they really still assigning...

That is a fair point. Knowing our luck, changes like upgraded seats will show up in Q2-Q3. Regardless, I'm going to have to bite the FOMO bullet and take delivery of this early '24. I'll hold on to this one, and wait for the facelift with seats (2025-2026?), etc. Especially after I'm...

It's a shame no hardware changes were made in the '24 Plaids. At least we should all we getting our VINS in a matter of days! I'll probably hold on to this '24 and trade it in when the S gets new facelift treatment like the M3. Would have probably kept it longer if it came with ambient...

This sounds like a plan. I'll do exactly this if Tesla tries to pull a fast one by trying to deliver me a 2023VIN in February 2024, lol!
