    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    I have the same issue with front passenger door on mine. Looks like an alignment issue. Service appt tomorrow.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Mine are similar. I’m having service look at them next week. They said even if within spec they’d try to fix them to make me happy. Wonder how large a variance they allow. Mine are all over the place.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Just updated to 2021.12.15.5 last night. I will see what happens tonight when I set to 100%. I have yet to see indicator of regen breaking, but I haven't driven much yet.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    When charged to 90%, mine shows 337, which is spot on. I have not yet tried full charge. What does it read when you only charge to 90%? Meanwhile, tonight I'll set it to fully charge to see what I get. Also, what charger are you using. I am using a newly installed wall connector.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    After having taken delivery over the weekend, I am thrilled with the refresh, and my pleasure by FAR outweighs some of the issues I have discovered. Some appear similar to others reported here. 1) Misalignment and panel gaps all over. Some are worse than others. Not sure which ones I should...

    Model S Delivery Hold Week of July 19 2021

    Thanks! The red is super awesome and loving the heck out of it. The interior is amazing and I LOVE the yoke. I could never go back now.... Well this is the first time I've personally noticed panel gaps based on so many other forum comments (I had not seen them on my previous two model S', 2013...

    Took my delivery at 1 PM. Beautiful! Acceleration is insane!!!! (Only issue was panel gaps; appt on Wed to get that fixed)

    Happy to report that the nationwide hold was lifted and my delivery appointment is tomorrow at 1 PM. Couldn't be more excited! Thanks to everyone here for the info, speculation, fun banter and most importantly the support through this lengthy process (since January for me).

    Model S Delivery Hold Week of July 19 2021

    Yay! I also got the call that I can pick mine up. Tomorrow at 1. So excited. I asked about the hold and they said there weren’t specifics from Fremont but it was software. Didn’t sound like a software update was necessary so perhaps they were testing something of concern and the tests passed.

    Model S Delivery Hold Week of July 19 2021

    I'm getting rolling EDD now that automatically updates every day, always a four day window, including today's date. I had a few tentative appointments, starting the 15th, then the 18th, then 24th, but I think they gave up trying to predict. Basically, the hold could be lifted at a moment's...

    Model S Delivery Hold Week of July 19 2021

    Perhaps someone who has taken delivery recently (July 1-15) could call the SC and ask if their car is safe to drive; maybe that's one way to get more intel. Frankly, if I received my car a day or so before the hold, I'd be concerned about what the problem is and why mine might or might not be...

    Model S Delivery Hold Week of July 19 2021

    Must say the wait since my VIN was assigned has been harder than the previous 6 months I've been waiting. Just called and they said still no new information, but that my car is inside and not in the the 112 degree heat. Although, as the service bays fill up, said they'd have to move it outside...

    Model S Delivery Hold Week of July 19 2021

    Keep in mind that your SA has nothing to do with deliveries, so unlikely they know what's going on. You need to speak to someone in delivery operations. When you call, there is a menu option for that (I think it's option 4 if I recall correctly; don't choose the option for Sales).

    The manual says this, but from your picture, I don't see "radiating air waves". Try swiping right or left on the pictured vent. To adjust the direction of the air flow, touch the radiating air waves from the corresponding vent on the touchscreen. The air flows in a single stream when centered...

    Model S Delivery Hold Week of July 19 2021

    Thanks for creating the thread. My 7/18 appt was pushed out due to the hold and rescheduled to 7/24 as a placeholder. But that disappeared today with estimated delivery now 7/19-22. Whatever the delay, seems like they anticipate it will only be a few days. The operations guy was only speculating...

    Mine is on hold. Detailed and ready to go but held back. Speculation is SW. Quite a few holds reported in the main delivery thread.

    Mine is also one being held. Appt was 7/15 then 7/18 and now 7/24.

    Indeed. Good point. Unless they changed something in the most recent production batches that is problematic.

    Yes. No one can give you the old pricing, even the folks adjusting orders in Fremont.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Exactly the story I got yesterday when my appt was pushed out a week. At first I thought it was just my car, but sounds like this is a general problem. My car is detailed and ready to go at the Palm Springs SC. Heard it is likely software, which makes more sense if all are affected.
  23. derevan007

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    They called it a factory hold, and the local delivery center was not given a reason; told simply not to deliver the car until further notice. Typically, they say it needs some sort of software update. But that seems odd that only some cars would need the update. Wouldn't all cars need whatever...

    So I got a call from "Delivery Operations". This is the first time someone has called me with information (I'm the one who has always initiated communications). Disappointingly, he said he had to push out my delivery appointment to next Saturday. The good news is that the car is fully detailed...

    I have a delivery appointment showing in my account for tomorrow at 11:00 AM, but no word yet from the delivery center as to whether my VIN has even left Fremont yet (apparently, the car was finished and ready to go a week ago) and I'm in CA. Interestingly, I inspected my account web page source...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Progress! A Delivery Configuration document appeared on my account this evening, which showed the purchase agreement and an odometer reading of 15. Hoping its being loaded on a transport as I write this! Still scheduled for Sunday at 11 AM, but they tell me that could change. Can't wait!!!
  27. derevan007

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Yes, you would pay the new price for ANY change you make after the increase. Fortunately, if you want FSD, you can just add it right after delivery from the mobile app (which is what I wanted to do, but too late).
  28. derevan007

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    You still need to pay sales tax after the fact but it reduces value of vehicle for initial and annual vehicle license fee in CA.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Just called my SA to see why my delivery appointment was pushed out. Turns out my car is ready to go, just awaiting transport from Fremont. He had no idea when it would be sent down to Southern California. Has anyone else experienced this sort of delay? And if so, how long did you have to wait...
  30. derevan007

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    To clarify, you’d still pay sales tax on the FSD but wouldn’t pay the VLF portion of the initial registration and every year thereafter.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Ps. I also asked about subscription and no information available at all on that.
  32. derevan007

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    An SA told me that it was likely to go up end of month or when released. As with all things Tesla, unpredictable. It will definitely go up when they open up beta to everyone.
  33. derevan007

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    If you ordered before the price increase, ANY change causes the entire order to get rewritten using current price book, which is 5k more for LR and 10k more for Plaid. It’s a new order agreement but you don’t lose your place in line. Trust me, I’ve explored every possibility to get it removed...

    Really makes no sense at all for me to get mine before yours. (But mine is delayed too with no reason provided)

    You can reach order assistance at (510) 249-3100. They have the same info as SAs but much easier to reach and a good way to cross verify info as they are closer to the source. Depending on who you reach, they can often make changes directly unlike the SA. When I call I always start with that I...

    Yes, it will increase the price. I’ve asked everyone including the backend folks in Fremont.

    Delivery appointment updated in my account from June 15 to June 18. No communication regarding reason for delay. No surprise there.

    Not stressing. Just being proactive. My SA appreciated my calling it to his attention. He said he’ll add it to their pre-delivery quality checklist. So now everyone at this SC benefits.

    Was told by my SA today (had to call him, of course, otherwise I wouldn't hear anything) that my car has not left Fremont yet. Still possible to arrive overnight for my tentative appointment on Thursday, but was told it might be a few days yet. Sounds like they are taking quality control very...

    Is that extrapolating to 100%? Or 90% as might be more typical for practical purposes. If 90%, that pretty much matches what I am expecting.
  42. derevan007

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Ah, the key was you did it before the price increase. @EVonly managed to remove it before the price change as well.
  43. derevan007

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    When you removed the FSD did the updated order agreement reflect the $5K price increase for the base price of the car? If the price did not go up, how did you get it removed?

    Yeah, 19" wheels are purgatory. Once those start shipping, more information should start becoming available.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I spoke to them yesterday morning about renewing my financing. Perhaps mine was on the way from LA to Palm Springs then. :) For those interested, I also confirmed in no uncertain terms that removing FSD at this point would result in the price increase...not only did two SAs independently...
  46. derevan007

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    In your case, the issue is the 19" wheels. As everyone here can attest, there is no evidence any have been delivered, and they are "supposed" to start in August at the earliest (certainly for Plaid). I have had a hard time reaching my SA, but I eventually get through by calling a few times...

    Mine also said "August" as soon as I got the VIN, then a few hours later I got a narrow July date range, then that evening I had a tentative appt showing on my account, along with a text saying they would reach out to me as dates are subject to some fluctuation. In CA, you don't need to pay...

    Actually, not sure about that. For the 30% tax credit, i don't think it matters. It's the fact that you installed an EV home charging solution. It might matter for the rebate. The local utility rebate looked rather fussy, but couldn't hurt to submit the application!
