2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

Tesla randomly called and said if I wait 24-48hrs (possibly longer) I could get the 2k discount since it needs “manager” approval. I declined, I can’t wait any longer. So sad that they are just now looking into this as soon as I have a pickup date, like they couldn’t establish this months ago? I am pushing for them to send me a check after delivery but was told it was to be prior to delivery.

I advise folks to ask their SA to start that approval process early if you are expecting a prerefresh discount
Because they switched vehicles and vins on me on the day of the delivery, the discount did not show on my final PA. But Tesla did show a credit of 2203 ( 2000+ tax)On my account. My sa told me he would try to expedite and get a check to me.
I received this text today for the store I ordered from. I was surprised at quick action my SA worked. I guess these guys are ok but they just have no info regarding g delivery or delays. Anyway here it is

“Hey Stephen, this is your Tesla Century City team. Your $2,203.00 refund has been requested and the funds should process in the next 5-7 days!”
 
Are you considering switching from plaid to LR???
No just curiosity on my side. But I have a friend who ordered the LR and he doesn’t come on the forum and he’s curious to see what he bought.

The only Dragy we have so far are from 0-60mph but we already had this info from Tesla. Why don’t guys just keep the throttle pinned for a few more seconds and get us at least a 0-100mph if not a full 1/4?
 
Once I take delivery. First thing I'll do for you. We have 3 2021 M3P at work. :)
Haha, thank you! But I sure hope someone manages to do it in a few days at most.

I understand LR owners are less inclined towards racing and that kind of stuff, but I can’t believe there isn’t one LR enthusiast on the forum that can do us a solid.

I know. So many 0-60 runs or 0-100. It’s been like two weeks and no 1/4 mile times.

Haha right! What in the world. Maybe at some point in the next few days hopefully. I'd be even better if they did it in drag strip mode, I've got a fun strip about 30 miles from me that my teams been wanting to do a drag day with all the Teslas hah. Just waiting on my MS and we'll swamp the strip w Tesla's ha

The RN numbers are issued in sequence for all Tesla automotive products (S/X/3/Y/CT/Roadster, and possibly international orders too. You can’t just take one and subtract it from another to find out how far back you are in the order book. And yes, they do manufacture in batches but that’s not as much of a hindrance as you would think. It’s not like certain configs will only make a run every other month or so. You’re far more likely to get held up if part of your config is on back order like the carbon fiber Plaid trims or 19” wheels. Based on my factory tours, a lot of it can be interchangeable fairly quickly.
Good info. It gives me a much better understanding of how the order process works. Thanks.

I just posted this in the main MS delivery thread, but I’m also cross posting here for those that somehow might not read the other thread.

So, I picked up my MS LR from the detail shop a couple of hours ago. I have had a couple of hours behind the yoke and here are my initial impressions.
  • The car is beautiful inside and out. The exterior with the more aggressive front spoiler and the wider stance from the large tires are a significant visual improvement. This MS interior makes me feel like I'm driving a nicer car than my previous P90DL. Even without the leather that I miss. The carpets are thicker and plusher, and the alcantara headliner is a nice ode to the Performance cars. All of the surfaces feel soft and high quality. I love the way the new center console slides to reveal the cupholder and storage bay.
  • The audio system has definitely improved with higher quality sound that is discernible. I wouldn't say it is a night and day improvement, but it definitely seems like a higher quality system overall with more speakers and more power.
  • The responsiveness of the screen is a huge step up, and the picture quality is fantastic. Seems like a massive upgrade. The visualization on the IC is amazing.
  • The new ventilated seats are much more comfortable than the Next Gen Recaros in my P90DL and the ventilation is powerful and cool to the touch. I know @omarsultan said the ventilation is cabin temperature, but it definitely feels cold to the touch, so I think it must include some cooling technology.
  • The suspension is a significant improvement, and the car feels smaller and handles much better than my previous MS. My P90DL didn't have adaptive suspension and I was always stuck with a very soft ride that suffered from significant body roll. I haven't driven a Raven MS, so I don't know how it compares to the newer cars. I'm much more comfortable pushing the car hard in the corners, and the car is flat, stable and predictable. My P90DL felt comparatively like a boat that I never really enjoyed pushing on windy roads. It is really nice having multiple settings for firmness and ride height.
  • The NVH levels are much improved and the car is much quieter inside. The dual pane glass all the way around makes a noticeable difference. The car is quiet, tight, and has no rattles.
    👍
    Many of my previous Tesla's have suffered from squeaks and rattles. This is a significant improvement.
  • The YOKE - some of you may know that this was a huge concern for me. The first few minutes of driving it had me worried, but I seem to be adjusting to it pretty quickly. You really need to learn how to drive with completely different habits. I see no reasonable explanation for eliminating a standard steering wheel, but - hey it looks cool! I can definitely live with it and I actually kind of like it on the freeway and on windy roads. I hate it for parking lots and U-turns, but I'm sure I will adapt quickly.
  • Performance - the LR is much faster than I was expecting. It doesn't pack the visceral punch my Ludicrous P90D did off the line, but from 60 up it feels like it pulls much harder than my Ludicrous car. Off the line my Ludicrous car felt like a slingshot or like being shot out of a cannon. This car is definitely software limited off the line, and feels more like a Performance Model 3 initially. Above 30, it pulls much harder.
  • I very briefly experimented with my Dragy. The first run 0-60 had 70% SoC and 3 people in the car, so wasn't an ideal situation. The car did 0-60 in 3.38 seconds or 3.16 with 1ft of rollout. My next run I did solo, and I achieved a 3.15 sec. or 2.93 with 1 ft of rollout, but this was slightly downhill so also not entirely accurate. I will definitely spend some more time tomorrow seeing what the car can do, and will post more Dragy results. Hoping to get a 1/4 mile time if I can find somewhere safe enough.
  • Aside from a couple of small issues with trim alignment, and paint defects, I see no serious issues. I have become accustomed to Tesla paint defects and this car is not immune. I do need to take the car to the body shop to have a clear coat applied to the bottom portion of the rear drivers side door. I also have some window trim that needs adjustment. I only have the car for two more days and then will need to drop it off at Tesla service.
Here are my official Dragy results and pictures of the car after tint. The car is still missing the Tesla logos because they are still at the paint shop getting painted gloss black.

Great post. You addressed many of the things I was most interested in. Thanks for taking the time to include so many details.
