They used to be great, informative and passionate. Then profits became paramount and like service, sales and delivery went threadbare. You're seeing the results.

It looks like the 20’s are also being delivered with a variety of tires. I called to see if they could tell based on my VIN which tires are on my Plaid with 20’s. They said Michelin Latitude Sport 3’s (summer tires). I ordered some all seasons on Tire Rack.

My experience of good stuff only relates to Fremont production...
Hopefully so. From what I’ve read the worst part of the yoke steering is the horn button…
My hope is also by the time my LR arrives in December that the matrix led headlights will be fitted as well

Beautiful.
The 20" comes with low profile summer tires? Is this just exclusive for Plaid or all MX.
The inserts were in a sealed box in the frunk when I took delivery. They each insert individually. I was able to remove the insert too but it is harder to remove than it was to insert.
Turns out Fremont is the most productive car factory in North America as of now. They pump out a lotta cars-- maybe too fast? Actually I hear people have been pretty happy with the build quality of the 3 and Y from Fremont lately. To me it seems like the biggest issues are with the S/X.

Didn’t they shut down production for the X and S for months starting DEC 2020? Presumably to re-tool for the refresh models. What perplexes me is that we have seen various times where the products coming out of Fremont have been outstanding. Fantastic fit and finish, the paint looking right. And then there’s other occasions where it’s a complete train wreck. It’s consistently inconsistent and my question is is it staffing and training that are to blame? Because if they’re able to roll out some Products at high quality and a good standards than all products should be produced with the high quality and standards.
Just my humble opinion.
oh nice, didn't even think of that. Wonder if when I finally get a VIN I can have them check. Who did you call, the delivery specialist or Fremont
Somehow I bet you'll still get yours before some of us who ordered about the same time. I hope it shows up sooner than the end of 2022 for you.
Dallas Texas... ordered 2/4/21 have a Feb 6 - 27 delivery window
That's their job. They should do it better and proactively communicate.
End of story.
Looks like you can use the airbag for the horn is back, the refresh came with a button on the steering wheel, so it is back again to the airbag [took me a while to get it too}

The post from daycruiser was provocative, but not entirely wrong:
I have no regrets owning my 2nd Tesla, with an order for a 3rd. But I also don’t pretend that Teslas are perfect.
- “Worst build quality ever” - an exaggeration, but Tesla ”quality” is often below expectations for a $60K car, let alone a $100K car.
- “WHAT A SCAM THE 'FULL SELF DRIVE IS'” - more hyperbole, but I have to say that my experience with FSD after a month in my 2018 X is that it over promises and underdelivers. FSD is very nice for highway driving, full stop. On city streets, it makes more mistakes than when my son had his learner’s permit. And the few times that auto park recognizes a parking space, it’s so slow that other cars are honking at me.
- “Range“ - If I took delivery in the cold of winter, I might also be disappointed that the range falls short of promises.
- “How it is even legal to have that crappy yoke is beyond me” - I find myself agreeing again here. I’m sure we fanboys will all get used to it, but ultimately, the yoke is an answer to a question that nobody asked.
