2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

[MEL-22]

I have the exact same configuration. RN1146. March order date. 9/18-9/30 EDD has been holding firm for days. Hoping I stay included in the end of Q batch….

I've been tracking your delivery as well...

Rookie question here. For resale value, would end of year deliveries be considered a 2022 model?

My understanding is it depends on the build date of the car. Anything built after October 1st should be a 2022. De!ivery date is irrelevant, the build date is what determines model year.

Hope you get moved to this Q!

No, I got my Model 3 in December of 2018 and its considered a 2018

That was in 2018. In recent years they have been doing model year cutovers in Sept/Oct.

Whatever year the vin is attached to upon release. I’ve read they stay 2021 right up to January deliveries. I’ve seen a lot that says they start changing in October. I’ve seen more that say the date it’s produced and rolls off the factory floor is the date it is. Regardless, in this Tesla world the army in the know will get it at time of sale. Meaning, if you got it 12/31 and it was called a 21, folks would understand it’s no different than the 22 someone got the week of 1/1 a week later. For this batch of July through next year and beyond, unless something major changes like a new steering wheel or some body change, they’re all the same with same software updates. A plaid will be a plaid and a long range refresh will be the refresh LR. In the past, years aligned with battery sizes and which ”P” model it was, did it have a retractable sunroof, was premium connectivity and supercharging included etc and the year meant more. Going forward and until a major change, year will just mean how much mileage and original price the way it’s moving around.

For the purposes of resale value, insurance, and excise taxes, the model year actually matters.

So a 2021 vehicle is not the same as a 2022. Even if you’re a member of the “Tesla army in the know”.

I ordered in late May 2021 (5/28/21) and received RN1150XXXXX – Refresh 2021 Model S Long Range, white exterior, black interior, 19" Wheels and FSD...

My EDD was updated on 8/10/21 to 11/28/21 - 12/18/21 and then...
updated to 11/17/21 – 12/7/21 on 8/13/21
updated to 11/22/21 – 12/12/21 on 8/14/21
updated to 11/21/21 – 12/11/21 on 8/15/21
updated to 11/22/21 – 12/12/21 on 8/17/21
updated to 12/7/21 – 12/27/21, today, on 8/22/21

Same order date and Same config originally but then I removed FSD. Was October from the beginning and remained October until the big reorg happened a couple weeks ago. Now sitting Nov 27-Dec 17. Picked up a model 3 last Thursday and my SA offered to check his side of the system regarding my S and he said it’s showing him “Mid December”. We’ll see…

My last date range was 9/1-9/21 and then this morning it is showing February. If this is matching with others before the VIN, I am excited.

RN11467
LR/Blue/Black/19

I think that changed in 2019… the switch over to the new model year a month or two prior now in most cases. Many people got their 2021 Teslas in late 2020 last year

We have a 2021 Model X. We took delivery in early November.

seems about right, I ordered a similar config 3 months before you almost to the day and my delivery window is almost spot on 3 months ahead of yours.
Ordered 2/24 blk/blk/19 currently EDD 09/09-09/29

Thanks General!

If I were David Crosby, I'd run out and get the Porsche - I know my local dealer has a variety in stock. Then wait out the Model S, enjoying Tesla delivery deja vu (as I am, actually). And think about getting a haircut. (Puzzled? Bone up on CSN(Y) history.)

Regarding "lies": A harsh term, over which intent is a factor, but I agree that Musk/Tesla crossed a line last January - call it willfully negligent over-optimism, different from 'normal' Elon time. Production people within Tesla must have known that production was not going to begin in February. Or March. Or April....

RN1144 / ordered January 27, 2021 / Long range / Red / Cream / 19-inch / I’ll drive, thank you / Est. delivery: September 9 - September 29 , Mt. Kisco, no VIN.

I see what you did there, twice, right on. We all seem to be "helplessly hoping" for a VIN and EDD!

My July 23rd order of MSLR showing some promising signs, checked today and it went from nov 24-dec14 to sept 6-sept 16. Hope it holds up. Any idea when I can expect VIN to show up?

 

[Issaction]

Woke up this morning and my EDD has now been pushed out another month. Was holding steady at Nov 23 - Dec 13 for almost
two weeks. Now this morning I'm showing Dec 13 - Jan 02 -(

Same with me. Ugh. I guess I sold my 3 way too early. I don’t want to keep having to daily my Miata for that long. I miss my car

To help resolve the model year question, check the 10th digit of your VIN. It identifies your car's official model year per the manufacturer. Here's a table for easy reference.

Here is Twitter storm

I tweeted back at him “7 month wait?…..you’ve got NOTHING to complain about..Come back when it’s been 9+ Months”.

According to my SA this is true. Late Nov will likely be a 2022.

My early August order slipped from 11/23-12/13 to 12/12-1/1. Whee.

 

[djinn1]

Just dropped back a month - was 9/9-9/29, now 10/9-10/29 - 1146/19” LR/white/cream/+FSD

Monkey is flinging poo again ….

 

[GatorPigDog]

Delivery tentatively set for Tuesday afternoon. We'll see if it holds.

 

[cbil_bos]

On Friday I got a VIN. White/Black/19s/No FSD. EDD updated to 8/29-9/3. Ordered pre-refresh. VIN ending in 439XXX. Delivery at Peabody MA.

Today, my SA called to schedule my delivery for Sept 2. He said the car is scheduled to be delivered to the SC on 9/1 and they'll prep it within 24 hours. Fingers crossed!
