Alright boys & girls, I did some data analysis on the tracking sheet by creating a
temporary tab to sort by config, and the main takeaway here is:
HOLY COW THERE ARE LOTS OF UNIQUE CONFIGS!!
Out of 43 Plaid orders that show up as completed entries in the sheet (not missing trim, wheel sizes, etc.) and excluding AP vs. FSD (since this is just software that doesn't impact config/production),
there are 30 UNIQUE CONFIGS OF PLAID ORDERS!!
Get ready because I'm going to list them all - HERE WE GO:
- 1x Plaid/Black/Black/CF/21"
- 1x Plaid/Black/White/CF/19"
- 1x Plaid/Blue/Black/CF/19"
- 1x Plaid/Blue/Black/Wood/21"
- 1x Plaid/Blue/Cream/CF/19"
- 1x Plaid/Blue/Cream/Wood/19"
- 1x Plaid/Blue/White/CF/19"
- 1x Plaid/Blue/White/Wood/19"
- 2x Plaid/MSM/Black/CF/19"
- 1x Plaid/MSM/Black/CF/21"
- 3x Plaid/MSM/Black/Wood/19"
- 1x Plaid/MSM/Cream/CF/21"
- 2x Plaid/MSM/Cream/Wood/19"
- 1x Plaid/MSM/Cream/Wood/21"
- 2x Plaid/MSM/White/CF/19"
- 1x Plaid/MSM/White/CF/21"
- 4x Plaid/Red/Black/CF/19"
- 1x Plaid/Red/Black/CF/21"
- 2x Plaid/Red/Black/Wood/19"
- 1x Plaid/Red/Cream/CF/19"
- 1x Plaid/Red/Cream/Wood/19"
- 2x Plaid/Red/White/CF/19"
- 2x Plaid/Red/White/CF/21"
- 1x Plaid/Red/White/Wood/19"
- 1x Plaid/White/Black/CF/19"
- 1x Plaid/White/Black/CF/21"
- 1x Plaid/White/Black/Wood/19"
- 1x Plaid/White/Black/Wood/21"
- 1x Plaid/White/White/CF/19"
- 3x Plaid/White/White/CF/21"
Takeaways:
- Most of the Plaid configs are unique, meaning there are few TMC members who actually ordered the same config as each other
- The most common config is Red/Black/CF/19", listed 4 times which include two of mine, so it's really 3 real orders
- The next two most common configs at 3x each are Plaid/MSM/Black/Wood/19" (again including one of mine, which I may not take), and Plaid/White/White/CF/21"
- This number of configs is probably the reason why certain people are getting orders earlier than other - it seems to be more a matter of when Tesla is building your specific config, likely in a large batch, rather than prioritizing higher-priced orders
Anyway, I thought that was fairly insightful.
Enjoy!
