2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

I understand what I am about to say is pure speculation but I am starting to think my RN as a Battery Day order is not giving me any priority. I have a suspicion that Tesla's system is basing my priority on the date I was automatically converted from a Plaid+ to a Plaid which was in June. That is just a guess but it seems to line up with some who have RN's after me but order dates prior to June. If that is the case it does not seem fair in the slightest as I did show support for the company when the Plaid was first announced and I plunked down $1,000 versus the $100 it takes to make an order these days.

That conversion date been discussed numerous times (mainly in the main thread). I would call up your SA or get ahold of a loyalty advisor to discuss that. It definitely seems like a slap in the face.
 
Alright, here is my analysis:
  • For the most part, estimated delivery dates are in sequence of reservation number, not necessary order date. The latter holds mostly true, but not in every case. The exception are: @BrianKH, @Plssimrg (who had 9/20 - 9/30 and got bumped to February), @B-lon, @impastu, @Celledral, @sherwa01 who are all in February when orders before or after them have date ranges. After those with date ranges, there are a few that hit February, before some more December / January ranges and then the rest is February, blank or Q1 (international). Missing a few RN numbers, feel free to add them.
  • Earlier order and lowest reservation - @BrianKH with 9/22, Plaid. But has a February delivery date. You need to go raise hell my good friend
  • Latest order - @ICUdoc30 with a 8/1 (not sure the year), but has an 8/27 - 9/26. Errr paging @Leodoc, got a new member for you. Seems like you are both doctors 🤔 Unless @ICUdoc30 ordered in 8/1/2020 - which would replace @BrianKH. Or you got a customer decline.
  • Soonest delivery (from the date of this post) - (based upon this threads data) is @ICUdoc30
  • Jumping ahead - @KyleDay went from February to 12/16 - 1/5 while most around them are still February. Maybe a sign for the rest of us.
Data is sorted based upon RN. Feel free to slice it.

Question sir - reports are that it is NOT difficult to keep clean and even blue jeans dye will not stain. Reports are non-scented baby wipes keeps the white, white. Correct? Thanks...
Have no idea... I wear jeans on the reg and haven't found any staining yet, but I've also only had the car for about 13 days. I do keep a thing of Kirkland Signature baby wipes in the center console just in case - have boxes and boxes of these things.

I don't know if I believe @hotsoup at all. He's got one pic he's posted. Not even ever a screenshot of a RN or EDD or VIN page. He says he got a magical order 8 days from order. Then comes to the waiting thread for white inteiors to rub it in. I'm guessing he's a troll.
LOL, you sir are trolling the troll. And just a minor nit, but I got the car in 5 days after submitting my order. I posted some screens of my order page and the order submission thank you email a while back in one of the order tracking threads... here it is: 2021 Refresh S LR Delivery Tracking. Unsure if it helps make sense of the tea leaves, but my order was as simple as could possibly be - no trade-in, went through all the steps including Tesla financing in one shot right after order submission so the ball was in Tesla's court.

Took this earlier this morning at my local Tesla service center. Inside door sticker shows June 2021 birth date. Hopefully this is enough... unless you want me to write your username on my seats, and then attempt to wipe off with baby wipes.

Side note, they gave me a P100D loaner car for the day. So glad I got to experience what pre-refresh MSs were like... like, holy crap, didn't realize how big of a step up this refresh was. I could not wait till I got back into my car. This car is freakin' awesome.

Ghost here

2021 MS LR RN1149 White / White / Wood, 21" wheels, FSD 5/14/21 Sarasota, FL Est. September, Estimated Delivery: November 24 - December 14
Now how does this make any sense? That's my exact build, I'm also in FL (Tampa), yet I ordered 2/21 and my EDD is 12/15 - 1/4??? RN 1145
 
Out of curiosity, how do I know who my SA is? I received a text message from someone when I first ordered the MSLR but they've been radio silent since back in May despite me trying to get a hold of them via text. Is this the right way to communicate with them or do they simply not want to chat?
I text my SA every so often. He sometimes takes a day or two to respond, but he always does.

My guy in Mt Kisco NY is always super responsive via email. I guess I'm a legend with the local sales team with my attempts to pry more intel out of my SA. Problem is the collective intel on this message board is better info that Tesla gives the SA...

Once the EDDs come together that closely I would hope that the difference is batching for transport to different delivery centers, so you're truck is being filled with Teslas for Sarasota or wherever your store is (Naples?) later than Tampa?
 
I unfortunately think my SA had his work phone taken away - which is how we communicated. He mentioned Tesla consolidated their communication systems allowing them to text, email and call from a single system thus no work cellphones were needed. But he still had his. Has been radio silent since Tuesday and phone calls go straight to voicemail. I currently have no other way to communicate with him. Likely will call a service center next week to have him reach out to me if I do not hear back.
I never have received a mobile # from Tesla reps. Always email or they call through the company system.

Super helpful! Perhaps keep LR and Plaid lists separate if we believe seat supply chain is the key issue. FWIW I suspect CF is also an issue albeit less so that the seats. But if CF is also scarce, I could see Plaid w/ white seats and CF being the true unicorns because Tesla will maximize deliveries by allocating CF to Black and Cream seats, and white seats to wood orders.

Alot of my disbelief is bitterness. It's absolutely insane you have your car. But enjoy the crap out of it. Those of us waiting more than 5 days from order demand it. Hah it's absolutely crazy not being EOQ that Tesla would have matched you to a car, a LR, and a rare LR configuration at that.
