2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

[shadowmike]

Called my delivery center yesterday and was told that a contract at Fremont stated my car won't be built until late September early October. She says 19s are the issue. I know we aren't supposed to take what they say as gold , but It did piss me off lol.

Date range holding steady. 8/1 to 8/15 today. It's got to mean SOMETHING right? Maybe? Hopefully?

Indeed it means something; a huge BLANK is about to appear...

19 inch wheels? So that to me means Tesla should be contacting people and saying if you go with 21 inch wheels we can deliver sooner. Of course also find another supplier of wheels. Of course that may take to much time anyway.


Now the reason I came over was to ask about making a change. We want our S LR no later then Christmas. Ordered in May and have the locked in old price. I ordered before we heard about details of the possible new tax credit. We chose white exterior and white interior (Stormtrooper look) and FSD. Now with the $80K limit in the new tax credit legislation we should change interior back to black and add FSD post getting the credit. The question for anyone that has made changes. Does removing FSD move you to the back of the line? Does changing interior move to the back of the line? Does either change trigger the price to go to the new price?

I suspect that they would only start doing that if they have fewer orders for 21" equipped cars than they have available cars.

Maybe. Maybe. And maybe.

Although someone mentioned yesterday they Tesla was allowing the removal of FSD without the price going up. So you might be able to make that happen. In the same vein, someone also posted talking to their SA about changing to 21s and the SA said it could move them to the back of the line. All of that is why I say “maybe” as the first response.

But physical design changes likely are almost definitely going to trigger price increase and could move you to the back of the line.

You wouldn't qualify for the $80k limit anyways

Purchase price of the lowest model is $84,990 which you'd be set at if you made any changes.

As @doubleshot mentioned, you can't get the old price with any modifications to the order. I did see someone mentioning that SAs have been authorized to remove FSD without affecting the old price, but you most certainly can't update the interior/exterior without triggering a price change.
The new tax credit bill might not be retro active for older orders. Even in the current draft, it's only for vehicles ordered after May 26. Unless you've ordered after that, you might not have qualified anyway. Moreover, there's a good chance that the current draft will be modified in the final form which might not be retro active.

1151 here as well. October is all me it seems. Driving a 21 Model 3 LR until the MSLR is in. Could be worse!

Indeed! I have an '09 C63 AMG. I'll miss the sound under WOT...the MSLR is MUCH faster, though.

I just clicked a button to remove FSD, and there was no change to the price. I bought FSD back in January when I had delusions about Tesla being an honest company, but it should be obvious to anyone at this point that FSD is a scam.

Ordered? All I had to show to my accountant before was the receipt from the sale. I doubt it would be order date. Bummer about making any changes.

Thats what I am trying to avoid. If I leave the white interior the price is $81,990. If I drop the white interior the car is $84,990 and delivery could be pushed to 2022.

that's potentially decent news - means they're actually building them (supposedly) in queue, versus no supplies until February or March. At least how I read it. then again, if my order number was 1139 yeah, I'd be pretty ticked off.

I converted my Plaid to LR first week of July with the original pricing (confirmed the switch via email and phone calls…). But guess what, not only is it blank it’s still showing all of the Plaid details. I’m lost.

if that was a real thing (and the $80k tax credit really comes through) I'd do it in a heartbeat. but, I think it would screw up the pricing, delivery and I don't think the $80k thresh hold is a sure thing. Sigh.

 

[Ketorolac]

I'm still blank with my refresh day order, 21s and white interior. I suspect they're just figuring out how much white they will have to fulfill and when, but it's weird that later orders have dates, albeit october -- they work backwards for some reason?

I assume your order is not converted to Long range yet. check with your SA to make sure

 

[eipi10]

Haha. I just called. The guy estimated "November" for my W/W 19 inch MSLR ordered in January. He blamed "chip shortages," Tesla's go-to lie. It's obviously a lie because people who bought Plaids months after me have gotten their cars before me.

 

[Btrflyl8e]

Same, honestly not feeling good about this quarter for white on white.

Same. Mine was August forever and has been blank now for about 2 weeks. Ordered 2/21, and I'm just gonna wait as long as it takes at this point.

 

[JPInnovative]

Back to blank for me from July. RN1142, MSM white, 19"
Oh well monthly rental car is cheaper than actually getting my car haha.

Lmao I’m driving my dads work car in the mean time

chances are they will require you to pay the $84k price vs the $79k price. Why? It's Tesla. no competition.
