2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

[cascadilla]

Next time I head your way, beers are on me. You're gonna hate what follows - solo in '65 and it was better than sex. Long and wonderful, lucrative and very rewarding career, but retired and burnt out. No longer fun, but thanks for the very generous offer. Let's drink beer...

I’m impressed by one fact here. You soloed a few years before my plane was built!

Appears that interest rates have gone up. If you applied for financing, and got a VIN, double check if your financing is still valid.

I’m tempted to pay cash, but I’m still pretty confident I’ll easily make more than 2.5% on the financed money over 6 years. I guess it makes sense, I was like “what are they smokin’ for 2% over 6 years. Might as well buy bonds instead of selling loans”.

EDIT: Nevermind, did not realize how far bond rates had dropped…

It seems that way as I am looking at all the other cars being delivered Q3 EOQ. My delivery advisor emailed me about a month ago that my design is forecasted for Nov delivery. I guess that is when they will get their MSM paint at their paint dept

Reading all these posts, it does indeed look like the MSM LR configs are in a holding pattern.

I haven't paid much attention to everybody's dates, but if it helps, my date went from the most recent of 11/9 - 11/29, to blank as well today. If that helps anybodies angst.

edit: dates

quick question -

My delivery appointment is this Saturday (day after tomorrow). I'm trying to purchase insurance for the car, however the insurance website is reporting that the VIN is incorrect/cannot-be-found.

"Our search of manufacturer information found no vehicle matches for the VIN you entered. Verify and reenter the VIN, if incorrect. "

Lack of insurance is holding up MVPA and by extension my financing!
I'm on call wait with Tesla for over an hour now...

Any idea how to resolve this? Is this a common scenario that the VIN is invalid/not-in-records prior to the sale of the car? How are we supposed to purchase insurance then?

The problem is with the insurance website, not with Tesla. If the insurance company is using outdated software, it might not be properly decoding the latest VINs from Tesla.

There is no central VIN authority that reports if a VIN is valid or not - it's just a bunch of pre-formatted numbers glued together to represent manufacturer / make / model / year / options

Had that problem with my 2014 Model S. I sent an image of the VIN to my agent (State Farm in Georgia). They forwarded that to some State Farm office in Illinois who did some magic with the Georgia DOT and then it all worked out. I paid cash for that car, so the lack of a VIN was just a pain, not something that kept me from getting the car. At that time Tesla had no stores in Georgian and only one delivery/service location. Legally I took title from Tesla's Fremont location.

Correction: my loan HAS in fact expired. Tesla is working on getting it re-approved.

My car is passing the Nevada / Utah line right now, and is slated to arrive in Princeton on 9/26, so I'll probably get to see it on 9/28. That's about what I have set for my insurance change over date, so that lines up perfectly! Fingers crossed that there are no delays on that.

Also, looks like my SC is going to have 40-50 deliveries on 9/27 and 9/28. Ruh Roh. That's going to be quite the cluster... uhh... of fun. Cluster of fun.

TWELVE DAYS! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Where are you able to see where your car is?

Can anyone confirm that the 240V NEMA 14-50 adapter is the same one that came with the 2018 Model 3? See pictures. My incoming MS LR will be parked next to a Tesla wall charger, my wife's Model 3 is plugged into a 14-50 outlet on her side of the garage. As long as they're compatible I won't order a second one.

I looked at mine (new) and it is identical so your plan will work

'98? I was enjoying "pijiu" in '98.

Here's my definition of a fairly recent "great" ride:

ANA Houston to Narita nonstop in FC drinking Krug champagne, eating a 16oz Wagyu steak. 2 of us drank 3 bottles. Retail price for each was $13K USD each, each way. My cost was credit card points and around $160.00 in taxes.

My EDD slipped today from 9/15-9/19 to 9/19-9/22, which was disappointing. But moments after checking I got a text from Tesla requesting I set up a delivery appt. First available was at the end of that range, so now it’s on the books!

Congrats! Looks like the factory is pumping out blue/cream LR 19s now. We finally got our VIN a few days ago shortly after the DD had moved up. Delivery is next week

 

[MGMiller]

Nice update on edd tonight. Was blank for 8 days. Moved up to Oct 31 - Nov 20.

So I finally got my VIN two days ago. LR with 19”s. Black with wood and cream interior. Ordered 1/23/2021. RN11440. Delivery sept 24 -30. Only a 8 month wait!

 

[a1machinista1]

I have the exact same config, ordered 2 months before and have Nov 10-Dec 1 steady for almost a month. I wonder if they have a big run of MSM/Black batch in October. Interesting.

We are sitting at Oct 20- Nov 9
Same build
