August 20: VIN September 3: Delivery 14 days from VIN to delivery

Locally (Chicago area), you can. Our local Tesla store also has a remote lot a few blocks away, so “delivered to the SC” does not guarantee that you’ll find it at the SC’s lot. You might need to find their off-site lot to find your car.

Yes, they have. We ordered the first week of January (MSM, Black, 19”), and received our car on September 3rd. Good luck tomorrow!

Yes; order the floor mats directly from Tesla: They apparently are made by WeatherTech, according to the sticker on the box that just arrived.

Absolutely! We have had our new Model S for two weeks, and are adapting to the yoke much more easily than I would have guessed. (We ordered pre-refresh in January, and considering cancelling our order when we first heard about the yoke.) There is no way that a short test drive would be long...

What is your VIN that came with Continental ProContact All season tires?

We are still trying to learn what the Model S can and cannot do, but it does seem to do at least some of what you have mentioned: The media playing and related controls are displayed in a small box at the lower left of the screen. We haven’t made too many phone calls in our first week, because...

I posted a PDF version of a checklist that I created by combining lists from two other forum members. See Thread 'Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist' Wiki - Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist

Welcome to the MSM Club!

The Monroney Sticker does not show any tire information, as seen in the attached Model S LR example (not mine).

The unicorn does exist! We picked up our new Model S on Friday evening, one day short of 8 months since we ordered it. After 24 hours, everything about the Model S seems to be great! We used a modified* version of the checklist in New Model S inspection or checklist, and only identified two...

In checking in person at the Tesla store last week and the week before and asking about the status of our pre-refresh order “discount” of $2,000, I was told that ”there is a case open” showing on our order. Today, when I stopped in and was able to make a delivery appointment for tomorrow, I was...

I visited our local Tesla store this afternoon, and—as of about 2 hours ago—they had the car and had just brought it inside to wash it and begin prepping it for delivery. We no longer have an EDD; we have a Delivery Appointment for tomorrow! RN 1143, Ordered Early January 2021: MS LR, MSM /...

For eight days (starting on August 20th), our EDD has been holding steady at September 01 - September 04. We have not yet heard anything from Tesla via e-mail or phone about the delivery specifics. I was just down the street from the local Tesla store this afternoon, so I thought I’d swing by...

Not yet. I had stopped in at the local Tesla store last Friday (8/20) to ask about using a cashier’s check (which they said was fine) and the $2,000 “discount” for ordering before the refresh (noted in our order, but not yet applied), and they said they’d contact us once the car arrived. They...

A “launch day order” is not at the top of the list; many of us who ordered long before any word of an impending refresh have lower order numbers. Mine is RN1143, with a current EDD of September 01-04. With some exceptions (e.g., white interiors), the EDD dates that people are posting are...

Good to see a 19” LR delivery, with photos!

We ordered the first week of January 2021 (the month after you), and our EDD is just after yours (September 01-04) with the same configuration. It is good to see that the deliveries seem to be better tracking with when the orders were placed. Those last two slow-moving hours to get to Fresno...

Today, we got a VIN and a couple hours later our EDD window dropped from 9 days to only 4 days. I stopped in at one of the local Chicago area Tesla stores to ask about delivery and payment logistics, and the person at the desk looked up our order. He said it showed that the car was “in...

Our order (same configuration) was placed about a month after yours, and is just a week or two later than yours — Estimated Delivery: August 31 - September 08. It is good to see that the EDDs are showing more consistency with configurations and order dates.

I spotted this MS LR, Black / Black, 21” Wheels at a Chicago area Tesla store this afternoon, with a sign on the dash saying it was for a 4PM delivery. From the window sticker (which was lying on the front seat), the VIN is 5YJSA1E53MF437XXX and the Date of Manufacture is shown as 07/2021. It...

We are down to a 10-day delivery window as of today, which seems encouraging. Although the start of the EDD range has been slipping by one day each day for the past week, the end of the EDD range has been holding constant at September 08 (except for one day when it was the 9th): 61 days as of...

There are two Model S cars pointed out heading into the delivery/shipping area just after the 7:00 mark in the video.

Sorry if I’ve offended you or anyone else, but—after placing an order at the beginning of January and expecting delivery within 6-8 weeks—any indicator of progress is exciting. After waiting for almost nine months instead of only two months, even small bits of news are interesting if they...

Today, our earliest EDD slipped by one day, but our latest EDD also moved up by one day. At 13 days, our EDD range is now under two weeks. 61 days as of January: EDD March - April 31 days as of July: EDD July 15 days as of August 7th: EDD August 22 - September 05; 21 days as of August 10th...

Even though you have a Blue/Cream order, your EDD is very close to ours with a MSM/Black order: Estimated Delivery: August 25 - September 08. It almost seems like Tesla is getting ready to load up an entire train full of Model S Long Range cars to send to Chicago within the next week or two.

Today, our earliest EDD slipped by one day, but our latest EDD moved up by four days. Maybe I’m getting too optimistic, but the general trend of narrower EDD ranges seems promising. It almost makes it seem like the EDDs are being fine-tuned as more specific information becomes available from...

It looks like they EDDs are becoming more consistent. Our EDD in the Chicago area, with the same colors/wheels and a RN1143 early January order, is very similar.

Pretty consistent with our EDD in the Chicago area, with the same colors/wheels and a RN1143 early January order.

As of earlier today (August 12th), our EDD improved by two days on the beginning and three days on the end to August 24 - September 12. It had been August 26 - September 15, which in turn was a few days later than our first-ever date range that showed up on August 7th. RN 1143, Ordered Early...

Yes!!!

I posted photos on July 26th of a Model S Long Range with 19” wheels, outside of a Chicago area Tesla store. That would suggest that at least one has been delivered with 19” wheels.

Before the last week or so, I’d agree with you. Now however (excluding the white interiors), the EDD ranges seem to be more closely correlated with the order dates if you allow for transportation time differences. It’s not perfect correlation, but it definitely seems much better since the...

If you ordered before the refresh was announced and the price was increased by $10,000, you will only have to pay $8,000 of the price increase for the 2021 Model S refresh. Even though you are paying $8,000 more than you agreed to when you ordered, you are “saving” $2,000.

This morning (August 10th) my EDD changed to August 26 - September 15, after three days showing an EDD of August 22 - September 05—which was the first time we had a specific date range and not just a month. It seems encouraging that so many people are new recipients of EDD date ranges this week...

I visited Westmont, and just walked in and talked to whoever was at the front desk in the showroom. (I did not ask for my salesperson.)

We ordered the first week of January 2021, and have alternated between an EDD month (no dates; just the name of the month) and blank. In mid-July, the EDD was “July”. On August 1st, it went back to blank. Today, for the first time, we have a specific date range: August 22 - September 05. I...

The parking lot of finished cars does not appear to have changed in at least a couple of months, so it would seem as though there is a problem with those cars unrelated to transport availability.

If still waiting for a January order with no EDD (again) is your idea of a faster timeline, then the Chicago area is a great place to be. /s

The current Long Range is effectively the refresh of the Long Range Plus that was available as of Jan 1, so at the start of 2021 the relevant pricing comparison was the Long Range Plus. (Yes; our order got transitioned to the refreshed Long Range at $79,990 with a promised $2,000 discount.)

The price shown in the chart for the Model S Long Range at the start of 2021 is NOT correct. When we placed our order in January (before the refresh was announced), the Long Range Plus was $69,420. The change since Jan 1 should be $20,000.

As someone who DID order in January, I am glad to hear this: “…there are people waiting from January we need to deliver first.” (After showing a July EDD for half of July, my EDD has returned to blank as of August 1st.)

Had a “July” EDD for about two weeks, and changed to blank by midday on August 1st. Still blank now.

The Wood or Carbon Fiber interiors choice showing in your attachment only applies to the Plaid. There is no secondary selection for LR interiors; they all show as wood.

Good question! The back seat looks more white, but the front seat looks more cream.

Awaiting MS LR, MSM, Black, 19"; ordered January 2021, RN1143 Saw a new MS LR in black, with 19" wheels at a Chicago area Tesla store today, so I went inside to ask about my July EDD. They looked up my order and said it was only as far as build planning now, so mid- to late-August would be...
