2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

Swap Microcontroller?? What do you mean

I don't know how credible this guy is but it's the best i could do at the current time to search the interwebs for you: Here's How Tesla Survived Chip Shortages And Even Grew Production

And another that seems more credible: The Sneaky Way Tesla Makes Cars Without Microchips - MotorBiscuit

If i could change my interior color without a price jump to get faster delivery i think i would at this point. I hate waiting for things i want, every month i wait is another month i haven't been able to drive my Model S

but it makes you a month closer to having a 2022 VIN !

i am sure you know that complaints on the internet are much louder than praise, but as far as I can tell my car is flawless. (knock on wood...)
It was missing the parcel shelf, but he pointed that out before I even said anything.
[edit...full disclosure, there are software issues, some that I know better than to assume that tesla will ever fix.]

I went from grey on the p90d to white on the plaid, and to be honest I was afraid it would be too bright. I love it.


And I received my car yesterday with the old pricing.

Congratulations, I will keep an eye out for you... mine should look the same.

there is no evidence to support your statement received my VIN yesterday with the old pricing.

The Model S Long Range is even further away - June 2022, 1-2 months of a longer queue than previously. However, there is one positive change - the Plaid version might be delivered as soon as in December, compared to the February–March 2022 that wasestimated previously.

We wonder how it's possible that the Long Range and Plaid version move in different directions? It might be a redirection of manufacturing capacity towards the higher-margin Plaid.

US: Tesla Estimated Delivery Times Extend To Up To 11 Months

Tesla accustomed us to adjusting prices and estimated delivery times of its electric cars in the U.S. almost weekly now. Let's see new estimated delivery times.

So, if higher margins is the priority......

Excuse me… stop stealing my tagline!

did you know Tesla now offers all season tires for the 19”

 

[Robb1914]

Shockingly… I have yet to be pushed back.

Ugh that was my date pushed back to Nov 2

 

[Robb1914]

Shockingly… I have yet to be pushed back.

And I didn’t even realize today was the 19th. Interesting your window has not tightened and no VIN.

 

[impastu]

did you know Tesla now offers all season tires for the 19”

I bought winter tires on 19" rims, which based on my EDD slipping into winter I may have to bring with me to the SC when I pick up or I won't make it home in one piece.

 

[MFrunkerOG]

Correction. Thursday is @Tigers and my VIN day. $20 says it's so.

Look here! I make the schedule! Ok?

 

[MFrunkerOG]

Oh man… I can only wish! I’m sitting on a set of 20” sv104s that I desperately want to get summer tires for. If the uglies come with all seasons that will be perfect… just perfect!

What a pain in the frunk. I will be doing the same thing. What tires you go with?

I called up Tesla’s 510 number a short while ago… all of a sudden having a VIN means they will interact… woohoo!

I was told my car is still in production and it will leave the factory in a couple of days. Then 10 days to the ATL…

That’s a lie. They make 100 per day.

Yes but mine is special!

Well, it finally happened. Today, driving my ICE backup car felt "normal". Even with manual transmission, loud exhaust, crappy sound system, etc, I almost enjoyed my commute home. This is what I was hoping for, tesla desensitization complete! Now I will REALLY appreciate this third Model S. I just need to GET it...

How embarrassing; President, CEO, Chair"woman" at BoA driving an ICE backup...
