Our son who owns the Plaid has had a few problems lately and needs new tires and he is upset because the car has about 17000 miles. It’s because he has a heavy foot and always smokes the tires. I think he’s past the novelty of The Tesla.

Anyway good luck and enjoy your purchase!

He and his wife reside in Arizona and take long road trips all over the western US so this vehicle works out very well for them.
I have a '23 BMW X5 M50i on order. Takes 4-6 weeks to build, then I'm taking delivery at the Performance School. You should give it a try. No extra charge and great fun. I also have a hybrid Avalon that is great. But I don't want an EV.
