As much as you all want me to keep the Plaid S I ordered, it’s just too expensive for me lol. So there are 2 options I can take. First is to cancel the order and eat the $250 and consider it a gift to Tesla lol. The second is to take delivery and flip the car. What should I do?
I can take delivery and flip, I just can’t take delivery and keep (unfortunately 🥲).
I can take delivery in 5 days.
Update:
Was sad putting in the cancel request, but hopefully someone else will get it and really enjoy it. Such an incredible vehicle. Plaid S Inventory is only 16 now.
I guess the $250 non-refundable deposit will help out Q3 earnings 🤣

I was told by a few sources that Elon is holding a Tesla all hands meeting as we speak. I will let you know if anything interesting is shared.
I'm just gonna live tweet it. Here are a few things Elon has said so far:
• GF Berlin, Oct approval.
• Tesla is going to spell Tesla on GF Austin roof
for planes landing on airport near by.
• He is praising the Tesla team for their hard work
• "FSD 10 is quite profound, a revelation, is the future; V10 next week and “button request” 2 weeks after that" Elon said
Since this tweet went up, 10 new Plaids have been purchased from inventory around the US! Would be shocked if the remaining 47 weren’t gone within 48 hours.
BREAKING: I was tipped off to there being brand new Plaid S inventory in the NY Metro area. I checked & it's true there were 9 vehicles available. I was still unconvinced so I tried to order one. The order went through. I got a RN, VIN # and an est delivery date of Aug 28th.

So at this point I was still sorta in shock. I just called Tesla as they told me it's a legit order and told me congrats. I said how is it fair that I can order one like this and the car isn't reassigned to a reservation holder. They didn't have much of an answer.

I have found Plaid S inventory around following area:
• Chicago
• Orlando
• NY Metro
• Los Angeles
• Bay Area
• Atlanta
• Phoenix
I stopped searching after those locations. SOOOOO crazy. Thx @bvTechie for the tip!
NEWS: Adam Jonas Just Put Out An Extensive 17 page Research Report on $TSLA Aviation:
"The chance that Tesla doesn't ultimately offer products & services to the eVTOL/UAM market is remote. The potential skills transferability & network adjacencies are too strong to ignore"
1/17
"Based on our global eVTOL/UAM model (a $9tn TAM by 2050), discounted back to the present on a per-share basis, we’re coming up with potential preliminary outcomes on the order of $100 per Tesla share on low-end to approximately $1,000 per Tesla share (or more) on the high end."
NEWS: @TroyTeslike shared some info on his Patreon from his sources:
1: Tesla will start exporting Model Y from China to Europe in early Q3 2021. The reason that was mentioned was that there is a big MY order backlog in Europe and there are some delays with Giga Berlin
1/5
so Tesla wants to start deliveries with exports. Also, Model Y production in Shanghai will ramp up in Q3, and production targets are very high for Q3 and Q4 but no specific number was mentioned.
2: Model S Plaid will be exported to Europe in October.
2/5
3: Tesla is still planning to shut down Model Y production at Fremont when Giga Texas starts making the Model Y 2.0. However, they are now considering whether the shutdown will be temporary or permanent.
