2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

[Wooly1]

Delivery was supposed to be by 8:00 am home delivery. A little before 9:00 got a message car was delivered But there was no car. Waited another hour and called Tesla. They dug around and found out that the delivery guy couldn’t get into the complex because he went to the wrong gate. No call, no text, no email. Instead he just dumped the car in a nearby neighborhood. We drove around and found it, but couldn’t get in as the accept button in the account was not activated. Two hours later the delivery guy shows up again while we are waiting nearby and not looking and drives off in the car. Apparently his boss told him to go back and get it to the right place. Jumped in our car quickly and followed him in the complex to our house and then he let us in the car. Jesus they don’t make it easy. Car is delivered though and looks great.

[theatrus]

[drunkenbuda]

Ohh snap!!! I am praying for my VIN.....

Has anyone seen their date (EDD)disappear, and not reappear?
Mine has been gone basically since the end of August now, after the shuffling with the mid August apology email.

Also, it seems like it should be mandatory each time posting in this thread to include your order info. Mine is MSLR, MSM, black, 19”, no FSD. Order date was 6/24 RN1152

We have twin cars.

On the CA HOV stickers, it's not the model year date that matters -- it's when you apply (and might even be when you get the sticker but that's not clear). Just wait until January 1 to apply and you'll get next year's sticker. I've done exactly that 3 times now.

Be prepared for a processing delay -- it takes the DMV about 90 days to turn it around.

OTOH, stickers are blue this year and they would look really cool on the blue car... And, currently, next year's decals expire Sept. 30, 2025 -- only nine months after Blue decal expires. Total time with the decal might be the same if you simply applied now.

Thanks for that information - I thought it was based on the model year irrespective of when you applied. I get it wrt the sticker color as the unglued stickers on our red Model X actually look good but they expire soon I know which was part of the calculus in me getting a new S. The thing I'm debating is that with work from home extended until Jan 2nd when is the most optimal time to apply.

Congrats! Looking gorgeous.
Regarding HOV sticker, I've read that if you apply for the sticker in 2022, you'll receive a 2022 sticker in CA. It shouldn't matter if your car is 2021 or 2022.

Great to know - thankyou for the quick reply!

MRW I'm seeing some deliveries of my build to those with order dates after mine! All in jest, congrats to those and I guess at least I can look forward to a 2022 model

Any of you in California gotten good insurance rates for your S? My current one feels insane to me compared to my Perf Model 3 and my old Model S and that's even with a multi-car discount and only 8k miles

For those of you curious about how powder coated 19” wheels look. Here you go. So glad I went with 19’s instead of 21’s.

How much is it to powder coat? Looks great!
