    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I should add one irritating issue. Perhaps the way I place my hands when driving, but I frequently activate the turn signals or wipers inadvertently. Hope I can train myself to avoid this as the turn signal issue will irritate those following my car.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Haven't checked in for the last 100+ posts so apologies in advance if any of this duplicates prior posts. Took delivery of my MSLR yesterday and have about 100 miles of experience. Ordered mid-February. Delivery originally scheduled for 9/14 but got moved up two days ago. Some initial...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Woo Hoo! I've got a VIN: 5YJSA1E54MF440xxx. EDD has been 9/2-14 for six days now. Off to Tesla tomorrow to try to nail down a smaller range and determine if a Tesla offer for my 2015 P90D is reasonable. If not, I'll try eBay.

    Tuesday Sept 4-24 Wednesday: Sept. 5-25 Today (Thursday) Aug 31 - Sept 20 Makes it difficult to sell my 2015 P90D when my EDD jumps around so much. I need a car.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    It's unfortunate that Tesla doesn't know/doesn't care what its most fervent customers, us early adaptors, think about this company. My first of three Teslas was a 2012 Signature Red and I'll hold onto my current order because there is no alternative. But for many of us, four or five years from...

    2021 MS 19” Tempest Delivery Tracking

    19" or 21" wheels?

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I have a 2015 P90D and if you change the height (to "very high" for example) it remembers the location and will always raise the suspension for you. I assume this hasn't changed. And you're right, it's very easy to damage the nose of the car. Never park over these curbs. Also, you can adjust...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    It wouldn't be the color, but the structure of the wheel itself that may need regulatory approval.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Appreciate all these updates but they're not particularly helpful unless the poster specifies their RN number, exterior and interior colors, and tire size. Those of us who are waiting are looking for this information to provide clues for our own deliveries.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Interesting that most of the people posting this morning going from August to blank are from Maryland. What's that all about? I'd be picking up in Owings Mills if they ever ship my car.

    Yesterday I was happy when August appeared. Today I'm sad because I'm back to "blank".

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Re: sound levels....Just for dB comparison. I've got a 2015 P90D with fairly new Michelin tires. On an asphalt highway at 70 MPH using an iPhone with the Decibel X app I show 82-86 dB. At 30 MPH I show 76-80 dB

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Just got back from visiting my local Maryland Tesla store. 1) They expect to get a few deliveries of cars this month. 2) Many of the early cars will have silver wheels. 3) Most, but not all, of the early deliveries will be plaid. 4) FSD doesn't do anything to my order other than cost me $10,000...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    It's been years since I posted anything but I remember back to 2011 when I ordered my first MS, a Signature #6xx in that special red color with 21" wheels which was only offered to the first 1000 buyers. I waited over a year for that Tesla - delay after delay - and while I've currently got a...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    According to DS, production complete on 9/11. He says delivery late September or early October. No estimate on My Tesla web site. Website updated on 9/14 showing "Production Complete. Your Model S is in transit from the factory." One step closer....

    P90D Ordered 8/18 Confirmed 8/23 (#103731) In Production 9/1 (very fast!) No estimated delivery date shows. I assume it should be on the same "My Tesla" page as the vin # and status. Also, does anyone know the frequency of trains to the east coast (I'm in Maryland)? Or when the last or next...

    The Battle for the distinction....Last Sig to be delivered

    Arnold, I certainly hope you are correct. It never made sense to me that my original MVPA estimate of the first part of October, revised to 10/19-11/2 only days before the GB 4-6 week email, then the phone call I made to my new delivery specialist who told me of a new 4-6 week delay from the...

    The Battle for the distinction....Last Sig to be delivered

    Right now I am the "winner" with a recently revised estimated delivery of 11/30-12-14, confirmed twice now by my delivery specialist. He told me two days ago I should expect a full 4-6 week additional delay to my previously delayed window of 10/19-11/2. I'm the last known Sig at S1299 (VIN...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    So I checked in with my delivery specialist again today and he confirmed my revised additional 4-6 week delay, moving my window to 11/30-12/14. My take on this is that it has nothing to do with parts shortages or quality issues on my car and everything to do with the fact that I'm the last...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    After seeing the email from GB on the "4-6 week delay" I emailed my new delivery specialist to determine if this delay was in addition to the delays already announced. My delivery window had been pushed out last week to October 19-November 2. Today I received a reply that in part said...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Initally, I was called by my specialist and given the window of Oct. 12 - 26. I emailed him yesterday to simply get an update and to inquire about my VIN. He promptly responded with the bad news of a week delay in my window, but he did give me my VIN. Eric (S1299; VIN 668)

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Delivery Delay! I was informed today that my Sig 1299 is being delayed by about a week. I'm taking delivery in Maryland. Originally told Oct 12 to 26; now Oct. 19 - Nov. 2. Disappointing, but I'll live. Nothing special about my configuration; red performance, tan interior, CF decor, pano...

    Baltimore Deliveries

    I, too (S1299), am in northern Baltimore County and expect to take delivery at home between Oct. 13th and Oct. 26th. I'd be happy to get together with all of you.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    For what it's worth, here is another data point on deliveries. I am S1299, the last known Sig. I asked yesterday if I could add paint armor. It appears I just made it, as he had to get permission to do so. When I asked about delivery, he said early November was still probable, unchanged from...

    More than 1,000 U.S. Signatures (confirmed)

    I'm an old car guy who owns a few classics from the 30's and 40's and recognize that it is possible that the Signature will be recognized as the first of a series of automobiles that changed the way we look at, evaluate, and make decisions about the type of propulsion that powers our vehicles...

    Model S standard vs. performance!

    I think the justification for Performance is simple. While I don't need the extra acceleration, my only hope for some resale value may be the highest performance unique vehicle. 1) We don't know if Tesla will even be in business 5 years from now. How that will affect the value of our cars...

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    I had called in mid-May asking about the possibility for getting a Signature model. They told me they were sold out but suggested I order a production car, pay my $5000, then call and ask them to note on my order that I really only wanted a Signature. When I asked about the possibilities of...

    Model S Reservation Tally

    Did I get the last Signature of 2012? I confirmed my order August 1st, I think, got S1299, which shows on your tally as being the highest number given out. If so, I had no idea how close I was to being shut out this year. Do I remember correctly that only 1000 Signatures are being produced...

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    You are correct. When I placed my order I couldn't reserve a Signature. They told me they'd put a note with my order indicating that if a Signature became available they would contact me. Didn't dream it would happen, certainly not this year. They were not at all encouraging about my...

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    Is Backlog Dropping? Just finalized my order yesterday. Signature Performance Pearl White with black interior and CF and 21" performance wheels. I was told that it looked like I could get a November delivery. I got #1299. This surprised me as I placed my order May 30th and was told not only...
