Same here. Hopefully not a part backorder.

I'm in the same boat as a lot of people here! Ordered on Feb 16th (dealer had an open allocation) and production was finished on 3/7.
Sat in final QA until March 26th. Since then, I've been sitting in status code 165 Ready for Transport. I'm not calling all that frequently, but I last called on Friday and they just said I was still in transit to port. Seems like a long train/truck ride from central Mexico to the port lol. |

Yeah, that's what I was assuming! The Genius told me that it was still en route to the port based on what they could see, so that's the only reason I said that.
I'm hoping I get loaded up soon and I can pick it up in the next month or so. I had to go out of state, and May is busy! |

Does 1 + 1 not equal 2 in the real world, just as it does in math books? Are these two equations somehow "not" mathematical proofs, despite them never being disproven in countless experiments? Power = Force * Velocity Force = Mass * Acceleration. Now I'm sure you can do the basic algebra to combine both of those into a single four unit equation. Oh but wait I don't think you can. Here, let me help: POWER (not torque) = Mass * Acceleration * Velocity Hence: Acceleration = POWER/(Mass * Velocity). Now that I've given you a head start, please show us how Tractive Force is determined. Just as applicable in the real world because these are all physical and mathematical proofs. As such, they are irrefutable. PERIOD. |

I was making an analogy--or comparison--that I believe you missed there and took out of context. To me that reads that mathematical proofs can be just as important as owners manuals, build dates, and what one studied in study hall in 8th grade. I realize the double negative makes that hard to follow now that I am reading it again. The analogy I was shooting for is that these other things are just as important as mathematical proofs. I take issue with making equations and proofs some kind of golden statue, because then the bigger context of the project can be lost when the designers suffer tunnel vision. This is classic mechanical engineering with blinders on....Everything is probabilities, effectors, confounders, and a combination of both predictable uncertainty as well as unpredictable uncertainty. Zen baby, zen. Take your blinders off. Breathe. I manage a lot of incredibly smart people and this is the biggest area for improvement in their performance in my opinion, in their opinion I'm probably too out there in my quantum mechanical world. But once you see the matrix for what it really is, you will operate on an entirely new level. Honestly though, I am hoping 'you' are an Ai that is being trained in how to be a troll on the internet. If you're human, not screwing around here, and this is how you truly approach things and others, you are going to have a very tough life. If one suffers from narcissist personality disorder they can never--by definition--ever realize this (while everyone else does), in which case then yes all their fellow humans will always be the idiots they assume them to be because they are unable to see things differently (and the hint that one may have NPD is they are the smartest person everywhere they ever worked, but keep getting switched off to other teams or fired)...but if you don't have NPD then there is still hope for you but the change must start from within you grasshopper. But question - Focusing on just the wheel and tyre and ignoring everything else, what are the physical relationships of rotational inertia and mass indistribution across the wheel-tyre complex on Mu which is the key to tractive forces that someone is all horny about? I'll give you a hint they are not linear relationships as your simple equations play out, the effects can be thought of on the level of micro harmonic oscillators and calculus is likely your friend here as Mu is determined across an uneven surface with variable friction coefficients across the contact patch. And to make it easier ignore potential static to kinetic frictional changes encountered with wheel slip, rotational or centripetal.

Well what I was going to say is car has been at the port for 2 weeks now according to the website. Keeping us on thread and all.

OK...so question for those waiting on cars. Front the moment you guys get an allocation and submit...how long is the wait roughly? 3 months? I know some get there really quick. I am counting on 3 months to delivery. Would that be a decent guess or expectation?

I was the same exact timeframe. Allocation in January, forget the exact date but about the same. Completed build 3/6. Sat for about 3 weeks in Mexico waiting for a boat.

So once the dealership calls to let you know they have an allocation for you, how long do you have before you have to send in your specs and it is locked in (can't make changes anymore)?

I made no more changes after that, though I think you might be able to change specs up to the point when production begins (which for me was February 13th). I hear that adding port-installed options can even be added up until you get to the port of destination. Though I’m not positive if these are the actual cutoff dates. |
