    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    There was a very slight vibration in the steering at highway speed upon delivery that went away after 1000 miles. Nothing in the rear end. Tesla does not have replacement tires. They of course dont care as that is not their specialty!! LOL only because crying doesn't help.

    Thank you for the feedback. Firestone saw it before Tesla. They ruled out bad tire and alignment as only a third of the inside of the tire shows wear. They are include to believe it is a wheel balance issue. Out of balance or bad wheel. Warning to all----these tires take 4 weeks to get on...

    Been a while since I have posted. I am sure this should be on a different forum however I know this group is very opinionated so I have sought your feedback. 12,000 miles back left tire has incredible wear on the inside edge ONLY on a 1/3 of the tire. Tesla has it today. What do you think is...

    The car that set the record is still limited. The top speed reached on the car speedometer was 279/kperhour which is 173 miles an hour and the attached GPS speedometer reached 268/kperhour which is 166.

    Installed myself very easily. Purchased on eBay from JC Sportline. Says it fits 2019. Another member stated they purchased the same spoiler they used for their 2018 model S and that it fit great. This fits great. Real CF. Very lightweight. $189 shipped.

    SOOOOO true!!! The first time that I floored the LR, I was thoroughly impressed. Last week I floored it and thought something was wrong. It did not seem as quick. After a quick Dragy test 0-60 of 3.39 not launched, I was happy nothing was wrong!! LOL. You get used to it.

    FRONT LICENSE PLATE REMOVAL We have all seen the videos of the hair dryer/ heat gun for ten to 15 minutes on the front plate to get the double side tape to loosen and then grab pliers and pull like hell. Right?? I set up to do just that process. Got everything ready, unscrewed the two screws...

    They may also use the roll out 1 foot number which is 3.1. I don't know. It is fast. You Plaid guys must just get kicked in the gut every time you floor it.

    Not sure why it shows the slope. Did the Sport mode run. Turned around, did the Chill mode run. Did the Insane run on the same stretch of road as the Sport run. None of the runs were launched. Straight floor it and hold on!!!

    For all of you LR owners and reservations out there, I finally did 0-60 times in Chill, Sport and Insane modes. None were in drag strip/launched.

    Great rate!! I went through USAA for both loan and insurance. Rate of 1.89% for 60 months. USAA only give up to $50K for auto loans. Insurance was almost $200 more every six months than my wife's 2020 Macan. $1100 annually for the MSLR.

    Thanks. Really excited. VIN assigned the second week of July. Delivery date was initially the July 25th, then the 30th. That is when the daily march forward a day began. That stopped a week ago and locked in on the 7th through the 13th. Car arrives in Ft Myers Tuesday the 10th in the...

    Totally agree. Take a look at this simulation. Taycan turbo s wins from a standstill but not from a rolling 50mph start.

    I have had my VIN for quite awhile. My EDD has been marching forward everyday for sometime. Saturday, I stopped by the Ft Myers SC. The manager had them look up my VIN to see where the car was located. It was in CA waiting to be put on the train to Georgia. The good news is that today, I...

    My two cents on consumer reports. We must remember that CR is run by a past Ford Foundation executive. Have you seen any negative feedback on the Mach E? Why would the giant of the EV world be targeted by CR? Rest me case.

    That must be the hardest part. Knowing it is there. you see it, touch it, but can't get in it!! Stopped by Ft Myers SC last night and saw 5 MS. 2 plaid and 3 LR. There was a white one with cream and I thought it was mine. WRONG VIN!!

    The elation of getting a VIN and estimated delivery has turned to frustration. For the past 6 days, I wake up each morning, check my account only to find that Tesla changed the delivery out one day. Started with the 25th then went to the 24th. Of course that was exciting. Then it went to the...

    Yes. They mess with you. The first 10 times or so you have hope. Then it becomes anger. After a month of it you really don't care anymore. It does not mean anything until your account looks like this.

    So happy for you!! I am afraid that when I take delivery in two weeks I will be like @hayssed_MS that I won't come onto the site and watch this slow motion train wreck to its conclusion. I hope it is a little of both. Congrats again on your car. Glad you love it.

    Getting closer to an exciting day or closer to disappointment if they take the VIN away. If I get her that week, look for 1/4 mile numbers for the LR coming soon. Plan on doing it in all three driving modes. Fingers crossed.

    Upgraded to 21 inch the other day and was told it did not impact the price or the discount. Doesn't mean it is true. That is what I was told. I have a July delivery a day after the change.

    I made the change today. SA told me that it would probably change the price of the car. I told him it did not using the online ordering process. He then said I was right as I have the LR and not the Plaid.
