Picking up in Bloomington, partly because of my delivery/SA guy has been 100% honest this whole time. I knew he was good when he told me "to be honest I don't know..."...his excitement when he called me Saturday to inform me I had a VIN let's me know he's in it for us...I want him to get that first delivery of a refresh S.
1140Gah, ahead of me by two days...
What was your RN first four?
Good luck. I placed my order for a S LR in April. It said July August then about two weeks ago the delivery date disappeared off my account. My sales associate does not have a answer for me.
Happy for you. Reading the tea leaves and based on no information whatsoever, I think that the non-communication is Tesla's awful strategy to string LR purchasers along. If they 'fessed up about the true time table, that disclosure may result in an unacceptable number of cancelations. Perhaps Tesla hoped that prioritization of Plaids would result in a substantial number of LR-to-Plaid upgrades. On this forum, there have been a few but I see that more are digging in for the long wait while others have said eff it and cancelled. If this is Tesla's strategy then it sucks. Actually, whatever Tesla's motives are for handling things this way, it's no way to treat people with the wherewithal to purchase a $100k car, much less those who could purchase a $160k car and got canceled by a whimsical tweet from Elon Musk. I've emailed my thoughts to my SA asking her to kick it up the food chain. Stepping off my soapbox now.
One more thing. It’s one thing to have an LR order and realize you are a second class citizen, what about the long suffering Plaid customers that made their orders months ago and see if you order today you can get your car by the end of the month, but your account is blank? It’s one thing if your configuration is one of those that shows an August delivery, but there’s plenty of people who ordered the same config that shows June delivery and they haven’t heard boo from Tesla. Completely unacceptable.
I am rooting for you, but if that test is from a Tesla SA, I would not count on it.
I agree but Where is anything other than a “ “ for my delivery date and VIN in my 1/1/21 LR BLK/BLK/Wood/19”/FSD
I’m right there with you…ordered one day later. No FSD. Rooting for you!I agree but Where is anything other than a “ “ for my delivery date and VIN in my 1/1/21 LR BLK/BLK/Wood/19”/FSD
(very simple car lol)
It’s poor analysis if Tesla considers LR purchasers second class citizens IMHO. When we’re talking about vehicles in the Model S’ price range, I believe any one of the LR purchasers could just as easily have bought the Plaid, or the arachnids, or the FSD. The question for each of us truly is is the added value of the Plaid worth the additional (now) $50K? My goal was, and continues to be, range over speed. Price was never the issue - which trim checked all the boxes was the key. That’s the LR for me - though I could have gone with the MSM instead of red.
I'm in the same boat. Range is more important to me than speed. LR is fast enough. Sure everyone says it's only 20 more miles. Still. Those miles matter for me. I could do the Plaid, but I'm not interested in the extra speed. It's sad to see that there are so many sitting on the factory lot waiting. Hopefully these will get their missing parts soon and we'll all be happy in a month.
Totally the same here also, miles are key for me, every single little ones since you really don't get what is advertise and they do degrade. It makes the difference around getting to a SC with super anxiety or being able to get ~4 hours to my parents without having to stop for 40 mins or at all.
