Highly unlikely. I'm 1143 with no car...

Since it hasn't been mentioned in a while in this thread, for those taking delivery recently, did your car come with summer or all season tires on it? Or is there a different thread where it's discussed? Would much rather have all season as most have stated, and I did ask about getting all season but they will not commit to it and I get what I get.

Anyone using BOA auto loan as payment? I wonder if they can overnight a cashier's check to me or I should just do it in tesla app. It seems my app only let me pay my portion (down) at this time.
Most 19’s come with A/S from what I’ve seen. Also snow states get A/S also. I would confirm with your SA, and let them know you want A/S tires to get it in writing for delivery day.

Pretty sure all 21" wheels get the summers. the 19" have been a mixed bag but it does seem like Tesla is somewhat agreeable to swap out to A/S tires if requested.
I didnt use BofA, but they will overnight it to Fremont. Just show your SA the tracking and photo of check which BofA should email you.

Very sorry to see that anyone with 1147 order does not have their car yet. No excuse and reprehensible. I raised holy hell with my SA last week after I got pushed out to end of quarter along with many others. I asked to speak to a manager, but they are cowardly and refused to talk to me. Tesla has a serious communication problem. I have seen a lot of deliveries for people who ordered after me, and find it completely unacceptable that anyone ordering before me is still waiting for their deliveries.

Wow, simply unbelievable and unacceptable. Sorry to see anyone who ordered before me with no car yet. I would raise holy hell with your SA and Tesla. I am in the process of writing Elon a letter about my negative experience. Probably won't do anything, but I will send it on anyway to at least let him know what is going on. The SA I talked to last week when I was pushed out again EOQ actually encouraged me to write Elon.
I think we'll all be glad when you get your car.

I think it is. I think it's "easier" for them to just push you out another month. I think the algorithms are attempting to be somewhite precise.Mine is doing every 5 days. Jane 15th- Jan-20th and now Jan 25th......I really hope that is the sign of VIN popping up soon!
I did have an SA say to me the EDD should be renamed something like "VIN drop date"
hang in there! it's worth the wait!

The dance has begun. I placed my order 1/16/22 with the original November '22 EDD. First change is to May 12 - Jun 9. I'm sure it is exactly as reliable as an office printer.

I will save you 831 pages of reading and let you know the god news. Your last EDD is always correct!
For anyone concerned about the current lights, Consumer reports rates the current refreshed model differently than the 2020 model.
Here is what they said about the 2020 (pre-refresh).
Headlights
Standard LED lights do only a fair job of lighting up the road ahead. While the light is very bright it projects only a modest distance ahead and lacks the width we're accustomed to with other low beams. Some streaks and lack of uniformity in the low beam are also detract.
Here is what they say about the 2021-22 MS LR.
Headlights
The Model S’s standard LED headlights were rated as doing a “good” job overall of lighting the road ahead. As with most LEDs, the Tesla’s headlights provide a high level of intensity with a very white and bright light.
The low beams provide “good” levels of light straight down the road, capable of providing just enough light so the driver has time to see, react, and brake for anything ahead from about 60 mph or less. Visibility to sides of the road was rated at “very good,” in line with the better-performing LED-equipped vehicles. Sideward visibility, which can help drivers see pedestrians and wildlife entering from the sides of the road, and in navigating corners, is typically an advantage of LED headlights vs. halogen lamps.
The Model S’s high beams were rated as “very good,” lighting the road ahead to a distance that is typical of better-performing systems. Automatic high beams are a selectable option in the on-screen lighting menu. This system can help drivers take advantage of the additional visibility that high beams bring more frequently, as the system automatically switches the high beams on anytime traffic and conditions allow. But, some of our testers found Tesla’s automatic high beams to be overly sensitive and occasionally erratic, for example the system had a tendency to turn the high beams off in response to light sources other than traffic for seemingly no reason.
Quite a difference in their review of them. I did find it interesting too that they said the refreshed S would gotten their highest road test score ever if it wasn't for the yoke. Not to mention in their testing the MS LR had a better 0-60 time than the 2020 S performance model (don't know what mode they used for it) at 3.2 for MS LR vs 3.5 for the Performance. In addition they specifically called out that the car just keeps pulling after 60. So if even CR notices it, it should be pretty solid.

Am of the same thought now that you mention it.....one of them anyway...
If I have to take delivery of a VIN pre-new lights, I will forgo the PPF + tinting and flip it. I'm already 14k below current pricing, so the impact should be minimal with this crazy used car market the way it is.
Careful, there are rumors that Tesla has started deny listing people that sell cars quickly after taking delivery. (Buying for resale is prohibited in the order agreement.)
