When I declined my first model s (the one that had delivery damage repair) I also told them I had CoVID (which was true) and couldn't pick up. That may buy you some time.

Sorry to hear about all these issues. You just got those new sweet rims too! What do you plan to replace the plaid with? Staying with Tesla or moving on?

My SC had a pro tip for me. If I am unhappy with the panel gaps as a result of the liftgate, I can mess with the two rubber stoppers near the trunk to adjust the height. Turn them clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust the close height. Same trick for the frunk too.

Thanks @Hayseed_MS. I also considered a 285/35/20 square setup to enable tire rotation. Based on your feedback and those of others it sounds like staggered closer to factory widths (19 or or 21) is the way to go.

Thanks so much for sharing!

@MFrunkerOG - thanks so much for sharing. I am looking at same rim / tire combination for my MSM too. Are you running 265 all around with staggered offset? Jamie from signature suggested this setup if I wanted to prioritize efficiency while also have a wider stance / flush with fender in the rear.

I like it. Anyone else install this spoiler?

Looking at sv104s for my MSM too right now and debating 19 vs 20. I was set on 20 until I saw your wheel thread. Any idea on impact of range yet? I am presuming you are getting even greater range as your forged are lighter than OEM cast cardenio/tempest 19s.

I figure that in a couple years I could swap out headlights for matrix as parts become more available and just pay for it at that time. For the tail lights it will be more tricky given the charging port change. I don't plan to upgrade rear lights as I like the black OG applique and color...

Thanks for the rec!

So the car finally came. I was matched with a 2022 in mid January (MSM black interior LR 19 no FSD). Took delivery at night in the back lot and did my best to document any visible issues (scratches on windshield, misaligned hood / lift gate, scratched window trim) and submitted a request for...

Mine had a hold on it today. Was finally ready for pick up 6pm tonight

Released the MF430 that was VIN matched to me last week right before Christmas. Don't need a car at this moment and since I waited 7 months ready, what's another 3-4 months right? (Latest EDD). Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the knowledge and feedback on the damage repaired car. I will...

Will do. Now I am starting to think that the car "started" production in may but didn't "finish" till oct due to it being so messed up or parts shortages or all the peeps on this thread turning down the car prior. I am probably sloppy 4th or fifth at this point.

I called Tesla tonight and the rep I spoke to said the car was made Oct and that VIN numbers are not sequential and that MF430 does not mean May. Not sure what to believe cuz with Tesla the story always changes :) He also made a strong push for me to take delivery in 72 hours in my driveway and...

Same car. I have the same build. Mgm black interior 19 inch wheels no fsd

I just got a call with the exact story you shared above for a MF430 VIN too! I heard these were the bastard cars stuck at the Fremont lot for having one issue or another. Mine is scheduled for delivery next week. Did you notice any issues / imperfections with your car since pick up? Would you...

Quick update here. When I spoke to the Tesla rep, he mentioned the Tesla I was getting was am October build. I just checked the VIN assigned to me now and it is a MF430. Correct me if I am wrong but that is an early refresh S from back in May correct and there were problems.......so this car...

Just did a free Carfax check and no records listed yet.

Since I have the Vin now I can probably run a carfax and see if there are any reports. I do know there is a delay in reporting and even though it could comeback clean now it could appear in 6 months.

Not sure :( in all the paperwork I am seeing online there are no disclosures. But perhaps it will pop up when I go pick up. I do recall signing something similar when I bought a loaner in 2018. When I sold that car there were no indications it was a loaner on carfax. So yeah Tesla probably...

Tesla called me back and said that it won't turn up on carfax. I also learned that my delivery window was pushed back to March - April prior to the phone call. So I will be getting a car this year now that is a scratch and repair and a 2021 vs a 2022. I can still refuse at delivery if it doesn't...

Hey everyone. Just got a call from Tesla that they found a match for me today as I am in my current delivery window. It is a 2021 Oct build but there's a catch. It sounds like some pre-delivery cosmetic repairs were done and they are taking an additional $3k off my price (ordered in May pre...

Almost there!!!

I am rn 1149 with exact specs except mgm color. Ordered 1 week before you and my delivery date is 12/13-1/2.

Just wanted to check in and see if the cars being delivered right now are still 2021 model year or has Tesla cut over to 2022? Wasn't sure if anyone got a 2022 yet.

It was showing “credit offer expired” on my reservation page with the prompt to resubmit. Tesla texted me in Aug and said that because I didn’t finalize payment they pushed my Sept delivery to Jan so I completed the credit application. Then the EDD changes began like many others here. My guess...

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. Will do so now

So my credit offer expired today. Presume I need to apply again to maintain my place in line (Dec-Jan delivery). But If my LR continues to get delayed and I continue to have credit offers expire / reapply I presume this is going to affect my credit score right?

All of these EOQ stories and continuous EDD delays are horrible. Yet here we all are because despite the consistent sh$tty CS (seems like nothing has changed since my 2018 Model X purchase) we still believe in the car and the value / performance / joy it will bring. I am glad I am not alone but...

My car is exact same spec as yours. Keeping fingers crossed you get yours Oct 20!

Ordered 5/20 this year.

Slipped again yesterday. Now 12/13-1/2. Pretty sure Tesla is trying to delay my order as long as possible given my order is a LR with 19 inch wheels, black interior, no FSD, and ordered before the 10K price increase. Curious if others are in the same boat.

Date changed again this morning :( Now 11/28-12/18. The wait continues....

Saw an update on my EDD similar to others on this thread today. Ordered a MSM LR 19 with RN1149 in late May. My EDD was tracking to 12/6-12/26 up to yesterday for the past month. Today it changed to 9/21-9/30. Feels like the TSLA quarter end scramble to get as many sales in as possible. Fingers...

Nailed it. I remember back in in 2018 “dropping” into the model s driver seat at an angle give the short door length an b pillar. Ended up going model x at that time which was more roomy for me but given my history with the falcon door seals will never go back.

I am 6’3” 220 lbs and was wondering if the new Model S will be a tight fit for me. Hoping the redesign is a bit more roomy vs 2018 model s I test drove a few years ago.

Like many other forum members here I have a love hate relationship with Tesla. My Model X had the melting roof seals on the falcon doors and the car was only 1.5 years old and 16k miles. Thought it would be covered under warranty and escalated all the way to regional manager who informed me that...

I have a Mach e premium extended battery awd on order with scheduled arrival date similar to my MS LR delivery date. Sounds like I should go for the MS LR :)

Red one gone but this blue one just popped up. SF Bay Area.

Plaids are starting to turn up in Tesla existing inventory on tesla.com now. I saw these 2 available in the SF Bay Area just now if you don't want to wait for your order.

Same config. I ordered end of May. My date was showing Oct up to a couple weeks ago. Then moved to Dec-Jan when the letter was published. I then got a text from Tesla to complete my payment information otherwise I would continue to get pushed back. So I finalized payment info (but did not yet...

I was driving back from LA to the SF Bay Area today along I-5. I saw at least 12 Tesla Car Carriers heading towards LA and half of them had the new Tesla Model S on them! I saw both LR and Plaid. A lot of black and Midnight Silver. They were usually in the middle of the car carrier or the very...
