2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

[IamGaryGnu]

My EDD moved from 10/4-24 this morning to 10/12-11/9. Configuration in signature.

Important update: I ran into someone a few days ago who was visiting family near me (need to be vague so s/he doesn't get into trouble, who knows if Tesla will investigate 'leaks') who works inside the factory. S/he told me that after the EoQ rush, workers were given a few days off and the main assembly line had to shut down due to parts shortages; also advised that stamping and the paint shop were busy but they too were about to shut down due to no place to store body panels that were stacking up waiting for final assembly. Told me that the shutdown would be brief and they anticipated ramping back up later this week. This person told me that if I originally had an EDD before EoQ I would definitely get my car within the month. Cannot vouch for any of this but from what s/he described seemed to be in a position to give me real information. We'll see.

If this is true, don't see any downside of Tesla being transparent with customers about any of this, only upside - but that's not the way they roll.

At one point I asked if the X ramp-up was causing any of the delays, they rolled their eyes and said "no... good luck with that..." implying that X assembly was not happening any time soon.

I hope you’re right, but when you say within the month, do you (or she) mean within October? I bumped today to December 3-31 and would sure love my baby sooner than later.

I ordered in April. White with black interior, 19s no fsd. EDD for end of September, I had a vin that was taken away. The date was moved up to 10-1 to 10-15. Now it’s

October 09 - October 23​

My SA says it could realistically be mid November. I went and looked at bmws today, I just can’t do it. I’m waiting it out for the ms

In the last couple of days I also looked and configured BMW 5 Series, BMW convertibles, and various Porsche models. No one has the fully loaded models. Then I hear that oil may break $100 a barrel again. I’ll just wait until Tesla let’s me buy their cars.

 

[IamGaryGnu]

Same! lol

Then I’ll have to go to the “how do you do this” or troubleshooting thread. And come back in 3 years…

I tried to psyche myself ok to the Polestar 2 (sounds like a stripper). My buddy loves his. It’s cheaper. It’s available. And it’s not what I want. Darn. Just can’t get away from wanting the S. I really want to bail, but I want the car, and EVERY post I’ve seen in this site says it is worth the wait. Sigh.

 

[funkatation]

And now I just got pushed back to 12/11-12/31

Mine has stayed the same but you have me worried. Same build in TX but I have a later order date.

 

[TigerBoo]

You basically a month ahead of me. Your EDD date could pop at any moment or not for another 4-6 weeks. I think were all beholden to the shortage at this point. When new fabs come online next year, this will likely all end but until then... we are married to what happens in China/Taiwan which is ridiculous IMO.

Yeah, after the mid August delay email, I went from the generic Sept-Oct, to Dec 7-January 4.

The blank for this long is worse than the delay I think.

If you are not expecting a luxury sports car it is worth it as there is nothing else like it. If you are expecting luxury then it is a let down as that is not what it is. It is a 4 door muscle car that wants to be a sports car. A gas Mustang is more fun to drive other than acceleration. Accords and Camrys have a more comfortable ride. Just about everything else has better fit and finish with a dealer who pretends to care. A Tesla MS has mind-numbing power with tech that hasn't been matched.

Just got an update saying they're moving me to the new delivery center in Camarillo and it will not affect my delivery date.

It is worth the wait. My only issue is the wait would have been a lot more tolerable if there wasn’t six months of BS flowing from Tesla corporate about when to expect the car.

I’m in a similar situation. Ordered 1/27 MSM black 19s. Order date moved from end Sept. to Oct 9-29 and more recently Oct 20-Nov 9.

I called the San Francisco SC yesterday to see if they had more info. They don’t, but the SA tried hard to upsell time to a Plaid. He said they have 15 Plaids in inventory right now. Tesla is messing with us trying to get us to spend more!

I took the bait and got a Plaid. I'll be picking it up tomorrow

 

[VikH]

RN1147 Blue/Black 19, went from October to November 6-26. Hope it doesn’t get pushed back further.

Are they offering them pre price adjustments if I ordered my S LR prior?

 

[AKay724]

My date just got updated! Dec 15-31! Its a Christmahanakwanzaka Miracle!

 

[Danlbrau]

Not a chance.

 

[cwanja]

Not a chance.

Technically they were, but that was EoQ. And this is now, not EoQ.

I expected 1 NOT dozens...

Got bumped from Sept->Oct last week then Oct-> Nov today

I can pretty much guarantee this is my last Tesla purchase.

My guess is that this will be the last Tesla purchase for many of us. Not because of their disgusting customer service, but because I think Tesla's ultimate goal is to move entirely to an automated fleet of vehicles, along with a focus of charging infrastructure. There will be no option to buy a car at all from them in a few years. Hence, no need for any customer service. Just my wild hypothesis.

I especially and strongly agree with your 1st sentence
