Looks awesome, can’t wait.
is it just me or does it look like the front door has black handles and the back matches the paint color…?

I'm like 60/40 that I'm going to switch my + order to Plaid when they call me... The reasons to do it are obvious, the reasons I have trepidation are that A) Is this the car that set the record lap times? I want *that* car (which it may be), and B) perhaps more chilling, at AP investor day, Elon mentioned that AP4 would be ready around summer 2021-ish. Don't know how far the dates have shifted (as I'm SURE they shifted...), but I can't imagine it's terribly far out.

Interesting; I can't believe those bozos would suddenly change the Tesla signature red brake calipers to plain black or grey (the same red brake calipers found on their the much less expensive M3 Performance). Not happy about that!!
Let's see what happens with actual confirmed released delivery vehicles. BTW -- anyone else notice that the front driver's door handle is black while it appears the rear door handle looks body-colored (but could be the angle & light bouncing off it)????I contacted Tesla Finance and they let me go from loan to lease to loan and back as time passed. Email to them worked for me. I told them I wanted to revisit numbers

Best response in the 1752 pages of complaining. Well done!

I liked the fob for opening hatch, but especially for summon (when I parked a little too forward or back in a parking space and I need to inch it a little) Using the phone is a little unwieldy and there is a communication lag. Can you do that with a card?
Literally 15k off. My local random dealer here offered me 88k today as well for my 2019 Tesla. I have cancelled my trade-in already but the "final" trade in offer was around that 73k. How the hell can their own company be off 15k? Completely ridiculous.

Don't look tilted to me! The only thing that's tilted is this person's terrible photo taking skills. How do you see this on the street and take photos this awful?!
Also - that trunk looks badly fitted... You could stick all sorts of *sugar* in that!
The black calipers are one of the more bizarre things Tesla has done. Did they really just run out of red paint?!

I think just lighting.
Tesla doesn't want your car, simple as that

Plaid DELIVERED 8/4, Red/Cream+Wood/21"/FSD
I found the same issue. Ended up cancelling that order to edit payment on a conversion order instead.

I got an update from the OLA (which was the person who called me), saying they would honor the $8K price after all:Finally got a call from Fremont to convert my Plaid+ order over to Plaid…which it already is.
SA said that the $8k FSD matching was based on doing things over the phone and placing a new order because they need to verify the original price from the old order. Could be true, could be commission sugar, could be false altogether.
Didn’t give me any additional insights on delivery beside what is on the website, so a pretty normal SA call
Hi [HumanInput], Just wanted to let you know that Tesla will be able to honor your FSD pricing at $8k and I’ve inputted a case for you. Thanks, [Name] Ownership Loyalty Advisor |
Oh wow, that’s really badly obvious is you pointed that out……..wtf@omarsultan , @Hayseed_MS

In addition to red calipers being eliminated, it appears plaid no longer has the carbon fiber diffuser as noted in this video from a couple of weeks ago.

Something seems weird on that gap. The other side gap is fine and the edges on both sides line up.

Keep in mind this has MFG plates and is likely a mule so hard to draw conclusions from it.In addition to red calipers being eliminated, it appears plaid no longer has the carbon fiber diffuser as noted in this video from a couple of weeks ago.

I agree on the calipers. Although it's not a deal breaker, it's a poor move on their part. Has to be in result of the parts shortages. Are they just using the same brakes as the LR version? I thought they were suppose to be upgraded Brembo calipers?Interesting; I can't believe those bozos would suddenly change the Tesla signature red brake calipers to plain black or grey (the same red brake calipers found on their the much less expensive M3 Performance).
