2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking
- Thread starter baldwin
- Start date
It’s been a roller coaster of emotions the last 24 hours
I tried to chat with someone and it just said no agents are available
I responded to the orientation email to ask if my vin is close. I just received this response from the sales center:
"Based on your Tesla account we do estimate your vehicle to be supplied at the end of this month to start of December.
You will receive messaging when a vehicle is supplied to your account.
Look forward to your ownership soon!"
"Based on your Tesla account we do estimate your vehicle to be supplied at the end of this month to start of December.

But the model 3 and model Y filed at the same time yet they’re getting 2022 VINs. By the same 60 day logic we shouldn’t see 2022 vins until after November29 for them as well.
Well I called Tesla, and they let me set a delivery appointment. They said it will be there on the 23rd, but 27th was earliest I could pick it up. Guess I'll bug them at the end of the week to see if it can happen sooner.
Took delivery this morning of my LR Model S! Couldn't have been easier and car looks amazing.
All the screens blacked out while I was driving this afternoon but they came back on after a minute. Hopefully can figure that glitch out because otherwise it seems perfect.

My impatience is getting the best of me and tried calling Tesla to inquire about when I should start the finance process. I said does your system show any type of soft match? The guy responds "I don't know how you even know about soft-matching but I don't see anything on your account" ROFL - basically saying nice try. Did say everything looks good for December, so who knows.
I know I haven't waited nearly as long as some, but damn this wait is worse than the 2+ year wait for my model 3.

"Tesla has pushed the delivery timeline for new Model S orders all the way to 2023 for the cheapest version. The same is the case for the Model X, as the gap between demand and supply appears to be widening. Supply chain issues and increasing demand for electric vehicles are coming simultaneously, creating long delivery timelines across the industry. Tesla is one of the rare automakers that has been able to ramp up deliveries during these industry-wide supply chain issues, but its delivery timelines have also been slipping. In an update to its online configurator, Tesla has now pushed the delivery timeline of both Model S Long Range and Model X Long Range to “March 2023”
That’s with the base 19″ wheels, which makes it the cheapest version of the flagship sedan. As we previously reported, Tesla has started to push the bigger and more expensive wheels as standard in the configurator. It forces buyers to change the setting in order to get the smaller wheels. For the Model S, the bigger 21″ Arachnid wheels increase the price by $4,500. Even with those wheels, you don’t get the vehicle that much faster, with a ‘November 2022″ delivery timeline. You can also get a November 2022 delivery timeline by adding other extras, like different paint colors.
Buyers going for the top performance version, Model S Plaid, can get a much faster delivery of December 2021 regardless of the choice of wheels or color."

The cheapest upgrade is $1500 dollars - paint. Is it really that much of a "premium"?The handwriting is on the wall... pay a premium and get delivery faster.

Good that you have an existing order... click on the Electrek link for the full story.

Someone in the main thread got a similar message.
Wiki - Model S Delivery Update
Are you ****ing kidding me?! There's no active noise cancellation/road cancellation/pain and suffering cancellation in the latest update? Here's my prediction: Tesla will NEVER release a functional noise cancellation system. It'll work about as good as their auto wipers forever. Trash. ****ing...teslamotorsclub.com
Yep, just got off the phone with my local SC and it's the same message. It's a regular update so it shouldn't take more than an hour to actually run, but does hold up their release of the car to me.
Sounds like you got yours delivered without this update they are working on right now. I'm surprised they let you have it. The good news is it's something they're actively working on, though.
For me though, if they don't have it ready by Saturday, I'm canceling my order. I must have this car for my road trip. If I don't have it, it's not worth my time. I'll get a 2022 model with the tax credits instead...

If you are talking about the new federal incentives, there is no tax credit for the model s, it's too expensive to qualify.
dont cancel your order and lose that pricing. You are what, 10k under current MSRP? IF you decide to postpone just let them know you are out of town until X date and they should accommodate.
Someone just posted in another thread that Tesla is expecting the firmware Wednesday, 11/17 and that user is expecting to take delivery 11/19. Just for information.
Personally, seems a little rash to cancel over this. But I do not know your personal situation and it is clear you want it for the road trip. I do hope it all works out for you.

If I cancel, I'm going to get a Plaid instead. Only way I'll get it in a reasonable amount of time. Plus, I wanna go fast
Cool. If you need me, I'll be breathing into a paper bag for the rest of the week...
Can we get a tax credit on the Model S? I thought it only applied to sedans under a certain price - even the M3 performance costs too much to qualify with the price increases. But truthfully, I haven’t read what has changed to the EV tax credit for a couple weeks.
