    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I got my MS in Dec 21. No tilt screen, however all of the hardware to enable the tilting feature is present in the car, with the exception of the electric motors. I suspect those were in short supply at the time of building my and your cars. I expect Tesla will offer a retrofit on refreshed...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    All of the trim on the MSLR is gloss black, so I selected gloss black for my spoiler. Love it. This particular spoiler is from Tsportline. Very impressed with the quality and look after 4 months.

    Tilting Monitor on S

    Same boat as you. Took delivery of my refreshed Model S in Dec 2021. As I recall seeing in an article last year, the tilt hardware (sans motor) is present in the refreshed Model Ss that cannot currently tilt the screen. TBD if Tesla offers a fix/retrofit to make it tilt by installing the...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I took delivery of my MSLR in early Dec 2021. I recall seeing this report earlier in the year where someone had taken apart the dash of a refreshed Model S to reveal non-working hardware that appeared to be there to support a future screen swivel capability. Will be interesting to see if Tesla...

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    I saw a yellow truck, driven by a Sasquatch, in KS carrying 20 4680 MYLRs. Production seems to be in full swing.

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    Yes what a great use of time stalking this guy and his work history. Does anyone, besides @Jones1 (thank you), actually have any useful information regarding production and delivery out of Texas?

    Wow great, insightful content on this forum discussing Model Y Delivery from Texas...not.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    It took me just about 10 months to the day to take delivery of my 2021 Model S. Be patient, young Jedi. It's worth the wait.

    Wiki Teslike Model Y Survey & Order Tracker Spreadsheet

    Nothing new. I had a 2021 Model S LR on order for 10 months. I took delivery of it in early December 2021 (f---ing love it, BTW). Countless order holders....both Plaid and LR....with orders younger than mine got their cars before I did. Don't try to figure out the process of how delivery...

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    Upon what do you base that statement? Curious. Tesla is claiming 16% bump with those new cells.
  12. Louiedog

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    you are 100% correct, and I put my MY order on hold to make sure I get a car out of Austin. But for me, the additional 16-20% of range that the 4680s will deliver is also very attractive.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    3,440 miles in now. Quality still perfect. Zero issues. Tesla has done a great job of making its software much more stable over the last 12 months. In my previous Model S (2017), I would experience screen blackouts every month or two. None of that so far. Fit and finish inside and out...

    Current Delivery Times

    Well, Elon was very explicit on the earnings call that Ys are now being produced in Austin with SBP and 4680s, and that customer deliveries from that plant will happen this Q. I called my local SA the next morning and put my current Model Y order (EDD of March 15-30) into a "hold" state. Told...

    thanks. I do plan on listening the earnings call....hopefully something comes out of that.

    Current Delivery Times

    Hey Gang, just jumping into this thread, as we have a MY on order with a current EDD of March 15-March 30. Curious if anyone has any insight into whether or not Tesla will start delivering Ys from the Texas plant with 4680 cells in the SBP design? Recent media reports point to production...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    2,000 miles on the car since taking delivery in early December. Basic review: LOVE IT. Have had zero issues. And the latest software update giving the blind spot camera view when a turn signal is on is awesome. I have taken 3 trips of 250+ highway miles. Rides so smooth on the highway...

    Wiki 2021+ Model S Refresh - Missing/Incomplete Software Features

    Totally agree on the blind spot camera view. Love that new feature, but the camera view needs to be moved up to top of screen for easier viewing.

    Wiki 2021+ Model S Refresh - Missing/Incomplete Software Features

    Same here. I have the latest software version on my 2 week old MSLR but do not have the noise cancellation feature. Not sure why.

    Last follow up. Tesla Mobile Service tech just delivered the missing pieces. They arrived a lot faster than I thought they would, given that the order was placed 6 days ago. The car is now complete. Attached are the final pics. Ceramic window tint completed two days ago. 33%. Signing off...

    Follow up to this posting. The missing parts are being delivered to me at my house in about 2 hours by the Tesla mobile service rep. He called this morning asking if he can come out and deliver them.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Oh yeah for sure. 20 and 21 are very different. No confusion there. There was mention of 21 weather tech mats for Model S not fitting in a 22 Model S...unless I read his comments wrong. I would be shocked if 21 and 22 Model S dimensions we different at all on anything.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Interesting. Well, for FWIT, I purchased the Weathertech mats for the front seats, back seats, frunk and for the large trunk area. All fit perfectly in my 2021 Model S. I was literally one day away from receiving a 2022 VIN. So the trunk and frunk dimensions changed from model year 2021 to...

    To be clear....the pieces that cover these two areas. I did fashion a temporary fix for the sub trunk out of plywood....

    I did get the side shelf. Sub trunk cover...the bigger piece....is one of the pieces that was missing.

    Two parts were missing. 1. the trunk shelf and 2. the flat piece that covers the sub trunk.

    Sweet! Enjoy. Mine, too, was missing those two trunk cover pieces. You said "Tesla is ordering them". If you saw them place an order for the items at your delivery appointment, cool. If not, go into your Tesla app and create a service request. Mention the two pieces that are missing in the...

    I had this ceramic coating applied. Opti Coat It’s 4 total layers. Took 2 days. He Coated all surfaces including the wheel caps. Not the windows. He also did a full paint cleaning treatment (buffing, etc) to remove surface iron deposits before coating. Made the white really pop. $3k total.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I really have no idea. Any additional drag is really of no concern to me. And I can tell you that the driving noise in this car is minimal. Super quiet cabin. Much quieter than my model S 2017

    Yep. My buddy and I removed it. First applied heat with a heat gun, and then used fishing line to slice through the adhesive tape. Worked quite easily.

    He is going to coat the caps. Next summer I am going to get the alloys underneath powder coated black to match the car's trim. Also, the 19s look WAY better in person than I thought they would. I really like them. I was originally thinking I was going to get a set of 21s for the summer, but...

    Left my delivery appointment 30 minutes ago and drove home. Initial thoughts: The built quality is flawless. I took a long time inspecting every inch of the car and I found nothing wrong. It’s perfect. The delivery experience was fantastic. The Columbus Ohio Tesla team is the best. I don’t like...
