Technical details here: https://www.chargepoint.com/drivers/home/chargepoint-home-flex Just under 3 years old. Works great. Ships in original box with all accessories (including mounting hardware). $450 shipped to lower 48.

Are you suggesting Tesla and/or Elon Musk invented marketing to children to drive brand loyalty and influence their parent's purchasing decisions? It's good business but not what I would call "genius" or even novel.

Before ordering: 4 to 8 weeks. Immediately after ordering: EDD 10 weeks out. 🤷‍♂️

Seems like the easiest thing in the world to fix, unlike robotaxis.

Did you just time travel from 2017?

Wow, it's been a year and they still haven't fixed this?

Great write up, thank you. Can you elaborate on the '22 brake hardware change?

Summary: Counter intuitive but, if it's below freezing and dry (no rain or snow), summer tires are safer than winter tires in terms of stopping performance. I roll on summers year round and simply don't drive in wet conditions below freezing (which are fairly rare here).

Disregard, this morning the delivery estimate changed to March 23-31. I'll take that to mean a freshly built 2022 is on the way.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Plaid today in advance of FSD price increase. This morning I found an inventory Plaid using EV-CPO matching my exact specs about 450 miles away. I passed because it was a 2021, no listed discount, and likely a reject. I'm not in a rush. However, about 30 minutes...

Both are sold.

For sale: 1. Gen 2 Mobile Connector (1101789-00-J) with two 14-30, one 14-50, and one 5-15 adapters in carrying case. Very lightly used. $270 shipped in USA. 2. TeslaTap 40amp. $75 shipped in USA. Or $325 for everything. PayPal preferred.

Ultimately I decided I will wrap it when it arrives. Black is the best base color if you're doing a full vinyl wrap, but I also think black looks good on its own, personally. Something to consider given Tesla's limited color selection.

I just switched from red/cream to black/cream and my estimated delivery changed from "July" to "-" LR ordered 2/2

Without hesitation. Already made the mistake of not rejecting a Tesla I should have.

Yup! Ordered red/cream here. Estimated delivery: July, ordered 2/2/21

Trunk alignment! :eek:

Remember, this is one of the best times to buy, according to Elon.

Well, it's official. Zero production of S/X in Q1. https://finance.yahoo.com/finance/news/tesla-q1-2021-vehicle-production-123500786.html

Looks like that Reddit post got someone’s attention at Tesla.

Hmmm cream or white interior? Dash looks white, seats look cream in this lighting.

One thing I noticed about the ones we’ve seen at Fremont so far is that the tempest wheel covers were attached. Other aero wheel styles don’t have the covers attached during shipping.

Purely spectulative alternatives: 1. The new EPA estimate is "more accurate" for real world driving than previous estimates as a result of the efficiency improvements AND beats Lucid Air. Inability to achieve anywhere near EPA estimate is a common complaint. 2. Tesla is using a larger buffer...

I doubt this, I think it's ~100kWH and they just wanted to push the EPA estimate just above the entry Lucid Air.

I'd be interested to know: does anyone NOT have a "March" or blank delivery estimate? Is your estimate April or later?

LR, FSD, ordered 2/2/21, yoke steering in build details.

*shrug* ev-cpo shows just over 2 days worth of new vehicle inventory.

Tesla doesn't have any problems selling every car that comes off the line, so there's not a lot of incentive to change. My suggestion: lower your expectations for your interactions with Tesla the company and look forward to your Tesla vehicle, because it's the reason any of us are still around here.

We can carry 4K HDR Dolby Vision 60FPS cameras in our pockets, yet we still suffer with vertical videos shot with potatoes.

Yes and yes, and continues with constant iterative changes to the vehicles. Try to relax, enjoy the rampant unsubstantiated speculation of this forum, and savor the anticipation of your new car. ;)

Could this be HW3.5 or HW4? I also noticed there's now a cutout on the B-pillar frame that could house a larger camera.

Sticker on driver's door B-pillar frame or on the Monroney sticker.

Sorry, personally I don't know. Hopefully someone else will chime in here. See: Autopilot, Processors and Hardware – MCU & HW Demystified – TeslaTap

Personally I think the price is good (it’s below KBB). I just didn’t want you to think you were getting something you’re not. The MCU2 upgrade is $1500 from Tesla and FSD is probably $4-5k? I could be wrong because the FSD price has fluctuated so much. Even if you add those in the total price...

Great find! Pretty sure that's where the cupholders were going to be, but nice to confirm. My #1 complaint about pre-refresh MS. Other interesting bits: "Hot rush" sticker on windshield? Power connector behind door trim = ambient lighting? Seats don't look white, but also don't look cream. I...

Careful! I took a closer look at the listing and that Model S is not a performance model (P90D). It’s a standard 90D.

Agree with HLR but want to point out that you can upgrade that gorgeous MS P90D to MCU2 and FSD and it will be more or less equivalent to the M3 technology-wise (for a cost of course). The other thing to consider is that the MS ***might*** have free unlimited supercharging (FUSC); my 2017 MS...

I have an e-tron. Masterfully built with beautiful materials, but range is limited and it’s a software mess. Just be sure you don’t need to rely on the Electrify America network for DC fast charging. I could write a book on the number of times I’ve nearly been stranded or ended up in the...

Same here.

You may unfortunately be right. However, what's confusing is that Tesla recently updated the estimated delivery of Plaid and LR to as little as 3 and 5 weeks, respectively, for orders placed today. Given the likely backlog of orders I'm skeptical those could be true. Though I've been following...

I had a 1999 blue with beige 9-3 convertible, loved that car. :D

Pure unsubstantiated speculation: they're producing vehicles right now and sending them to the east coast, staging them at the Birmingham hub while they finalize the software. I suspect we'll see a rush of assigned VINs in early-to-mid March for both coasts, subject to software development. I...

Oh nice, I learned something!

If you set up under the same account you can swipe between the two vehicles in the Tesla app to control/unlock/drive. Otherwise you have to log out and log back in each time. If you rarely or never drive or need to control each other's vehicles, there's not a real need to set them up under the...

Also, I am very curious if this is the auto or manual drive select in action.

Black = sporty White = modern Cream = luxe The white interior looks pretty bad with the walnut, though much better with CF. The black interior is "too much" with the black headliner. There's no contrast. Cream/walnut is "just right" IMO, but doesn't look as good with the CF.

Honestly this picture just makes me want the yoke more.

It's really difficult to see, but I think I can barely make out MFG vertically on the left-hand side of the plate.

I figured someone on the west coast would have taken delivery, considering the S/X line has been open for 4 weeks now. Even assuming 1-2 weeks for training and tweaks, they should be putting out ~150 vehicles a day. Strange there hasn't been a single sighting of a delivered refreshed model S or...

Any reason not to believe Tesla won't simply increase prices when/if the new credit goes into effect, much like they lowered the price on existing models as the credit phased out in 2019? You'd need an open order and keep unmatching VINs to lock in current pricing.
