I got pulled over by a cop who said a plane clocked me at 92. I was cruising at 79 in a 70 zone. Still got a ticket, but didn't get points.

Huh? since when do planes track drivers speed

Wow I never even heard of that before. None of the tri-state area does this right?

There are markers on the floor and whatever time it takes to travel from one marker to the other marker indicates how fast you travel. Read here for more info https://www.springfieldtraffictickets.com/blog/how-to-fight-a-speeding-ticket-from-a-police-airplane/

There is a sign on the GSP NB right near exit 98 warning that speed may be monitored by aircraft.

In Israel they use drones not only for that but traffic code enforcement in general

Does inspect elements work w it?

Until the court asks for records from the company and you go to jail for fraud/perjury?
But IANAL.

They use to be all over the parkway under 98. Haven’t seen them since the construction on the parkways couple of years ago.

You mean the post Hurricane Sandy construction?

Years ago they added a lane etc. there actually use to be think lines across the whole parkway so the planes can clock u how long it takes for u to get from one line to the next.

Just got my VIN assigned, ordered 9/15.
Will call to push off, let's see how it goes.

So I texted to delay delivery, and got the following 2 responses:

“As our system is designed to provide you with a vehicle as soon as possible, we can (as a one-time courtesy) release this VIN from your account and ask the system to locate another in a timely manner. Note: the system operates automatically, and will attempt to locate a new VIN in the coming weeks. If you require more time, this reservation may be cancelled (per Tesla's Order Agreement) and a new order may need to be placed with delivery in 2022. Please let us know if you'd like us to release this VIN from your account to allow the system to move forward with a replacement VIN shortly.“

“We can push your order to Jan 1, but this vehicle would be released and you would be subject to wait times at that time. Please advise how we can assist!”

If I’m understanding correctly, seems like I have 2 options.
1. Release VIN, will get new VIN assigned whenever
2. Don’t release VIN, delay order to Jan 1st, and delivery still may get delayed after that.

Am I understanding it correctly? If I want it later- I would choose option 1?

[shmebeble]

I think the second option is also releasing the VIN, and a new wait would start looking Jan 1.
