These Goodyear tires are a very weak link for the CT. lousy at being all-terrain (sand? snow? SNOPE) Not great for dry pavement traction. And, don't get me started on the Aero cap debacle. Makes me wonder if Ford paid off Goodyear to F-Up Elon's plans.
I’d be down to replace my wife’s 2020 P100D “dual motor” X w a Plaid X, but it’ll be a while. It would have to be a smoking deal and all the right specs w FSD, which we already have. I do enjoy all of them in my garage. X, S & CT. I can not find a compelling choice outside of them. Pretty sure none exist IMO.
Yea. When I got my X I paid 45k. It's a raven long range 7 seat with fsd and cream interior. Had to do some mods but it's sick now lol. If I could find a performance X for a similar price with extended warranty though I'd get it
Crossover SUV. But I was saying if you have something super fast you can get something more chill as the second vehicle.
It looks like they did test it and it came at 2.5 sec.
I had a 2019 raven and that dang acceleration shudder was just so annoying, even after replacing all the front end suspension. It just eventually came back. Hopefully you got that fixed or haven’t had the issue.
Same set up, cream and 7 seat. It was so purdy w white exterior.
Correct. Source: 2023 Plaid owner, currently waiting for cyber beast vin. Among other things, the cyber beast does not have the carbon fiber sleeves that are present in the Plaid.
Hard disagree.
I haven't had to deal with it yet. Maybe because it isn't the performance? Lol I guess I don't accelerate like that in this one. Just had one of my front control arms replaced though and I have a pretty wide stance. Also default low since I replaced my camber arms
If I recall correctly, back when Sandy Munro tore down the Model S Plaid in 2021, he theorized that they might do steer by wire due to the design of the yoke. I bet in a year or less, every model will be steer by wire. It’s just so much easier to drive. Plus w FSD, you don’t have a wheel in front of you spinning all over the place. It just makes sense to have them all w it.
My 2019 Raven was a LR, not performance. Glad to hear you haven’t had the issue, but sounds like some issues have presented themselves up front. By time I sold mine in late 2020 I don’t think engineering had come up w a good fix for it. I’ve read many posts that indicate they have. The LR X still has plenty of pick up. I still keep an eye on early X’s for sale, the whole line up is so fun IMO. I’d like to grab an early titanium or silver model w the adjustable rear spoiler. They should bring that back w V3 Plaid! ?
