So do you happen to know what months/years that Tesla sold HW4 and still had the GPU etc? Maybe I can find a deal on a used one but will want to limit the search to specific months.
I believe HW4 was introduced right before I bought mine. It might have been as early as March but if you go with mid 2023 forward it’ll be pretty safe obviously you’re gonna wanna check the vehicle if you land on one. To get both HW4 and the top spec comp. components I think you’re probably looking at something manufactured between March 2023 to early 2025.
Hey, great question! The simple answer is what it does better is: being a 2 door hardtop convertible V8 coupe! That’s really all I’ve ever wanted in a sports car. When my mom came home (when I was about 6 or 7) with her brand new MGB convertible in something like ‘76 that was it for me.
Thats really cool what you did for your dad I'm sure he's a proud and happy father! I hope to give my dad a nice car one day tooHey, great question!

One of my first cars when I was a teenager was a then 12 to 13-year-old ‘74 banana yellow Camaro and I never stopped being a Chevy guy since then. First car I can ever remember lusting after was a C3 Corvette. First one I ever bought was my 2014 C7 which I gave to my dad and then I replaced it with my 2021 C8 both are Z51s. I’m all about electric cars in future tech but there’s little in life that’s better than cold starting an American V8 with two seats are wrapped around it!
There’s my dad in the old one and me and the new out at the Las Vegas motor Speedway couple years ago. I built them both just like you could get them when introduced in 1953. Any color you wanted, so long as it was white with red interior!
Regarding this, I’m pretty sure I’m correct in what I said previously. If you look at them closely they look almost identical to the refreshed plaid seats that Tesla eventually launched (headrest and overall the general shape) the only difference is the cut outs for the five point harness. This seat was 100% designed for the plaid plus that they eventually abandoned. So, that’s why Wes said “not the first” plaid seats in a cyber truck because I think they used them when they were testing the cyber truck for Baja etc. The plaid plus was supposed to be a response to the lucid sapphire— not exactly sure why Tesla decided to abandon it (possibly after they saw that lucid wasn’t going to be able to make the car for anything less than $250,000), but that active aero trunk lid spoiler was giving me the colds sweats!!!
Thanks again for the info, will keep an eye out and do a little asking around.... I certainly would not want uncomfortable seats in my Cybertruck, but if there were some weekend fun seats to throw in for track/autocross days then sure why not... I used to have an extra pair of GT3 carbon buckets for my old Cayman before I got my GT4 that came with them.
i’d love to hear how your search goes. Keep us posted please!!Oh I remember that spoiler now.... I wonder how many cars were built with it before they scrapped it? That might be a true unicorn, a Plaid+ mule out there somewhere...
Where can I buy such seats?Wes having some fun, haha!!
Through the Tesla app if you have a Model S otherwise you’ll have to go to the SC.
And just like that, they were gone. The track pack is officially unobtainium now.That’s the price for all 4 (5 technically) + installation. I was debating getting them in my ‘23 Plaid after just getting it back from having the track pack installed. Consensus is they are really uncomfortable, though they may work well for their primary purpose in terms of giving you more lateral support on track days. I think I’ll pass.
Pretty happy with the rest of the upgrades the handling is absolutely amazing after the firmware and suspension updates. It whips around very much like my old M3P did which is amazing for such a big car, steering is insanely precise. Had the Zero G wheels ceramic coated bronze. Thrilled with the final result, just got it back today!
Glad I dodged that bullet. It seems to be a universal complaint that they’re just not comfortable. Also I think there’s just too much black in the design. The ultra white interior is one of the best things about the model S. Reminds me of my grandmother’s cutlass supreme from the 70’s.
Since I'm a small guy it's fine for me but any female with wide thighs might be uncomfortable
Congratulations, Sir. 🫡 You made the right choice. Ditch the seats, secure the Badonkadonk!
