Separate names with a comma.
Just got off the phone with Tesla. They have some kind of script error that is preventing many of us from applying for the refund. They had me...
Something is happening, will cross my fingers. I either get the Blue Model 3, or a black error page, or a redirect to the main Tesla.com page.
I think the lack of any VIN assignments is a KPI here. Those are usually assigned just before a car is entering production. With all of the...
For Model X, yes. For Model S, there could still be some output in March. I called Tesla yesterday, and was read whatever script they had....
As much as I would love this to happen, this looks like a storage unit where Tesla keeps spare parts for the Ranger. They probably have an...
Looks like there is a substantial new concrete base for a street light at the corner. This was covered with cloth tarps on the last set of photos....
A little progress today. Some new bollards set in concrete to protect each station. Doesn’t look like much else this week. [ATTACH]
Updated photos from this morning. Not much has happened in a week due to weather. [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
Of course 5 weeks would be just at the end of March. I too am skeptical that they can ramp up and produce 3.5 months of order backlog, all in the...
There are guys flying drones over the Fremont plant, and people who take pictures of the plant parking lot. We see photos of cars on car carriers...
For whatever reason, Tesla insisted on sending a Ranger out to connect to my car to do this. Perhaps they can't always do it remotely. I didn't...
I really think it's odd that no fan sites, podcasts, YouTube sites, Electrek, Teslerati, etc has posted any definitive information on the...
One other factor. We may be looking at a $7000 tax credit , and the delay will make that more likely. Tesla to get access to $7,000 tax credit on...
I'd say hang in there. My first order was in 2012, and I ordered the Multicoat Red. Nobody at Tesla bothered to mention that Multicoat Red wasn't...
My contrarian view is that Tesla recognizes the much higher profit margin on Plaid versions, and will produce to meet demand with Plaid first, and...
[ATTACH] Ditto here. Disappointing that they can't give everyone a better time expectation. Since we have several people on this forum in the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] A snowy day in Clayton today, not much work happening since last time.
Mine is Feb 14- Mar 14. I seriously have no expectation of a car on Sunday. I called the sales coordinator , and she told me it's more likely...
I was offered to take a test drive with the yoke before “as soon as we have one here” . I had 2 problems with that. First I live 350+ miles away...
It looks like a brand new utility pole there at the site. It doesn't appear to be connected to anything yet. Perhaps the local electrical utility...
[ATTACH] Sent to me by a friend going through Clayton. They didn’t see any other boxes on site to help identify V3 vs V2.

The insurance isn't the hold up. My state doesn't require a VIN, so Tesla has me checked off for that already. Simply waiting on a VIN and...
Has anyone been provided a post-refresh VIN ? I ordered 12/20 and revised the order 1/28. My reservation says delivery Feb 14 - Mar 14 . I...
The change from lead acid to lithium may account for a few pounds of weight savings as well.
There was plenty or warning on the screen. I had a Ranger change out the battery each time.
There should be some weight savings as well. That could be a small fraction of the weight reduction between the pre-refresh vs new versions.
I have a 2013 Model S that is almost 8 years old. I am now on the 6th battery. I don't have any ICE cars that eat batteries like this.
Elon said they were changing Model S and X to 12v lithium batteries instead of the current lead acid with the refresh. So add that to the list of...
That's exactly how mine was changed. The Tesla sales person took my instructions and made the changes. They were reflected on my reservation about...
I'm hearing the same, and also same as the others on my reservation details. The $2k credit isn't here yet. It will be interesting to hear about...
My original order was December 20. I was gambling $100 that there would be a refresh. A sales advisor called me on Jan 28, the morning after the...
Yes, I'm getting Multicoat Red again. It's still a fabulous color. I did consider the white and blue alternatives, but I'm a red car guy.
My sales advisor told me yesterday that the factory resumed production last week. My reservation says Feb 14-Mar 14, but the advisor tells me...
FWIW, my 5 year old grandson immediately became enamored with this, and wants to know if he will be able to play Minecraft on it.
The permit was issued on 1/22/21, but didn't show up on the online database until this week. [ATTACH]
Re: Steering - Is the round steering wheel an option, or is Yoke steering the only steering available. I had this question too, since my...
They offered to refund my $100 deposit if I did not want to continue with the reservation. Here is an example of the revised pricing. [ATTACH]
My current 2013 85 has 7 seats. Tesla just changed my reservation yesterday for the refreshed LR model. I asked if I could get the 7 seat...
Update : Like the others , Tesla reached out to me by phone to update my order. The new deal is we have a price increase but get a $2000 discount...
I discussed this with the Tesla rep when I made my reservation in early December. He told me that reserving then would protect me from 'any price...
This is thrilling news!
Not having any vehicles coming out of the plant by now increases the probability that this is actually a refresh. A simple line maintenance would...
Came across this TDLR submission today: What caught my eye was "addition of new charging equipment". Perhaps something publicly available such...
Yes, I've been to DeFuniak Springs FL as well, twice, at night both times. I'd still give Joplin a slight edge on creepy ambiance.
Ditto here. After a Tesla rep cold called me, he suggested that I go ahead an order in case there was a refresh, I'd be at the front of the line....
Joplin, MO. Built next to an abandoned 1950s hotel. and a half mile walk to a Sams Club for food and drink.
IF there were to be a refresh, just how soon would they announce it? People taking delivery could do a return for full money back up to 7 days...
Interesting that the Mulrony stickers now all say 409 even though the web site still says 402. Perhaps they have a significant inventory of 402...
I have friends in Clayton who will call me if they see any activity. I also check the 811 Dig requests, and the permit filings 2 - 3 times a week....
