    Thanks for taking the time. Sounds like good advice.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Took delivery and had 2 issues. A very minor a paint chip on the front part of the hood and the other not so minor was the edge of a large panel was touched up to try to cover damage to the edge of the panel. Other than that the build quality is pretty good. Like an upscale Toyota with nicer...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Initially I was closing the frunk wrong. I was trying to slam it down and it would never close and then I watched a A Tesla video where they just push it all the way down and then when it’s resting at the bottom give it a nice shove at the bottom.

    I don’t think so but my sales advisor who was very good told me not to make any changes until I got a VIN.

    So I’m a January 28th 2021 reservation. RN11442 I finally got a Vin NF4754 after 14 months. I ordered my custom license plate. Any feedback.

    I got the text yesterday at 7:11pm and I live in California 60 miles from Fremont, Dublin and Vallejo. Those are locations where you can pick up cars in this area.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I wouldn’t have bought one at todays prices. Tesla is increasing prices partially because of inflation but mosty from demand. I predict price drops on model 3 and Y down the road but the S and X will remain high for a while.

    dad Well that’s interesting regarding my Jan 28th 2021 order reservation number RN11442 someone from Tesla also sent me the same message. This came in at 7:11 PM. I wonder if this is being sent to people with old reservation numbers or just any reservation number and also what time they got...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I doubt I’ll sell this car for a while but I will not be paying any capital gains tax because I would put enough miles on it to have the sale price remain the same. I disagree with your math for a number of reasons. I sold the Plaid I got in August for a nice profit easily paying for the sales...

    This is my order and a screen shot for a new order. Weird if I actually get this car I’ll have $20k in equity.

    I’m impressed by the efficiency of the Tesla model S refresh. The other cars on this list are all much smaller vehicles...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    So I have an RN11442 ordered on January 28, 2021 and I still don’t have the car but today I got a call from Tesla asking me if I’d be willing to take a 2021 model year at a $4800 discount. That’s a good chunk on top of the pre price increase. They said the battery had been replaced. I said but...

    Some of the best pictures I have seen of the refreshed refresh. Loving the new beams.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    You might I’m a RN11442 Jan 28, 2021 and still waiting. What was your order date. Too much evidence showing pre price hikes are being neglected in hopes we just cancel:
  18. James P

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Yes but headlight and taillights are changed on all model S cars.
  19. James P

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Those aren’t the new lights. That bar going into the taillights housing no longer exists. Still beautiful though.
  20. James P

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    This specific forum is 8 1/2 months old, can you show me where people complained about the headlights here on the refresh before they heard the rumor that new ones might be coming. I heard complaints about the controls on the Yoke steering wheel and even the Yoke but no complaints about...
  21. James P

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I agreed with your original post. No one here wanted better headlights until they were under the impression better headlights existed. I was just on the freeway the other night and I saw a brand new Tesla model Y and a new Tesla refreshed S and they were side-by-side on the freeway and it was...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    People have lost their minds when it comes to PPF and the value of money. I have invested $10,000 in stocks which basically bought my Tesla LR 17 years later with the gains I made. It’s a clear film for your car that adheres with water. This strange vehicle worship is causing people to lose...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Nope. I checked with SA and they said it’s all good. He did say not to change from cash to financing or vice versa until you get a vin otherwise that could delay. Crazy system Tesla has.

    Refresh Model S Tint / PPF / Ceramic Photos & Info

    I don’t fully understand the PPF craze. I want my car protected but there are people getting rich with what they charge putting this stuff on. I sell high end appliances and one of my customers who’s company does window tint, PPF and wraps has 8 locations and now lives in a 5 million dollar...

    That’s a big panel gap on the passenger front door. Keep on them on that one.

    I have found white boring on so many cars but I saw this exact combination in person and I was impressed. Very nice.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Thank you I did that back in August and they said there was one thing but I don’t recall what that was. I think it was the payment method.

    Can we play who has the oldest order on this forum. Here my info Model S long range ordered January 28, 2021. 19” wheels, black interior, midnight silver metallic NO FSD. Reservation 114429*** I believe Tesla is delaying the cheapest priced cars. Place an order today for a white model s...

    Hi there can you explain the whole signature process. I thought that was just a stamp where you enter your reservation number, order date and car combination ordered.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Their should be a class action law suit against Tesla for FSD. It’s a disaster. They have strung along so many people and collected millions of dollars and haven’t delivered. Anyone spending money on this unproven software will just be disappointed like most people have been in all the years...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Some people have argued that Tesla is not pushing back the lower priced orders but I believe that they are based on what configurations are being delivered first. Today I went and looked at the Tesla Model S (formerly LR) order configurator and I think it’s interesting that if you want anything...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I thought the same thing. I went to Tesla in Dublin California and there was only one model S there being delivered. Usually there are at least 10.
  38. James P

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I drove to the Dublin California Tesla dealer to ask some questions. I wanted to know if changing from a cash purchase to financing would affect my eta. The sales advisor said only make that change after I get a VIN. I mentioned the headlights and tail lights change and he had not heard of...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    The long range Model S is faster than a MYP and pulls better after 60. It’s similar to a M3P but if you punch it at 65 it shoots to a 100 faster than a model 3 performance. You should be a happy camper when the day arrives.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I wish you could have your car tomorrow but because I care here’s a little reality. We have a 2nd Long range on order from Jan 28th 2021. Still don’t have it. I wouldn’t count on Teslas dates.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    The times I got were on the same flat road for both from a dead stop using drag strip mode. I was shocked the long range had it. I expected it on the plaid. What surprised me is when I realized how the plaid didn’t feel much different to the long range to 60. The Plaids strength is it’s...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    The model three performance gives you an acceleration experience that gives you the tunnel vision like the long range does but the long range model S doesn’t slow down after 60 like the performance does. The handling is the Model 3 performances strength. The S handles really well but the...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I ordered a Plaid and a Long Range model S Jan 28 2021. We also put a deposit on a 2nd long range on 1/29/21 incase we changed our mind about the Plaid. We still haven’t gotten the 2nd long range order (reservation 1144) I got the Plaid early August and the 1st long range the end of Sept...

    Meaningless if you don’t tell everyone the original order date and reservation number.

    I ordered on 1/28/21 Model S long range MSM, 19” wheels, black interior. reservation number RN114429*** A few weeks ago I posted here saying pre price increase orders would be be ignored until after the New Year. My date was March 9th to April 6th. This morning my date moved forward to Jan...

    Thank you for the reply. I got the car before the three $5,000 price increases. Is the $2000 discount your talking about because you ordered pre refresh announcement.

    I have had a refreshed Model S long range on order since Jan 28, 2021. Tesla still has still not fulfilled my order. RN114429***. My EDD was Dec 13 to Dec 31st then suddenly my EDD on Dec 14th changed to March 9th to April 6th. I really think they could fulfill my order but won’t until 2022...
