2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

[cwanja]

Congratulations we found the only white Tesla

Currently for sale. Deliveries of white interiors have occurred. And have been for months. @omarsultan was one if the first. But it was a slow, slow, SLOOOW trickle of VINs. Sloth speed slow. Or LR versus Plaid slow, am I right?!

Tesla at one point in June or July, the Model S designer said ‘white interior deliveries would start in September’. And they did.

I will say, it is worth the wait--the white interior is almost always the first thing folks comment on.

Can’t say how much I appreciate all you’ve done over the last 5-6 months, Omar!

There are plenty of times I second-guessed my patience throughout this process, and your feedback often balanced me out.

 

[travwill]

Still rocking the same dates. Going on a month and a half.

Yeah, you and I've had the exact same dates for same builds for like 6 weeks now ;-) Nice! Mine will head to Austin, yours to Houston so they've gotta be traveling together likely. Best of luck!!!

Have you been on the RN delivery tracker?

Just to make it a decently fair comparison, here's what I see in the white interior sheet. Of course some are probably not updated.

Config: White/White

• 18 orders ranging from 1/10/2021 - 7/17/2021
• 5 of the 18 have an EDD of Dec or Jan (one of this is me). The remainder are all in Oct or Nov.
• 7 of the 8 orders are after mine have a Oct/Nov EDD
• 2 of the 9 orders before me have a Dec EDD very close to mine.

Config: all exterior colors/white interior

• 21 orders after mine
• 9 of the 21 placed after mine have an EDD of Dec - Feb.
• 12 of the 21 placed after mine have an EDD of Oct or Nov

I feel worse for the ones placed before me

• 24 orders before mine
• 7 of the 24 have a Dec EDD, most of which were placed >1 month before me.

Have you made changes to your order after placing it? Either via SA or via the www.tesla.com/teslaaccount/edit-design/RNXXXXXX trick?

We are cool now. I believe cwanja now accepts the white used refresh is a unicorn in the sea of 139 I believe Plaid‘s on the market.
I had to admit he found one.

 

[CongoBongo]

nope. No change at all. SA went radio silent after the first week because apparently they moved to a different state. I have no idea why that logic makes any sense but I was able to get back in touch with them after going to the physical store.

what did u do?

 

[CongoBongo]

what did u do?

Lol. Just the messenger and a participant.

I guess there were too many different threads and 500+ pages of discussion which led to confusion and new spreadsheets. I have no idea who is really maintaining this stuff.

Then why did the order page give us 45-60 day eta at that time

 

[oktane]

Still, why are people selling these Plaids? Did they decide they couldn't live with the yoke? Some other buyers remorse issue? Hope it doesn't happen to me, it's shitty we can't test drive the cars before purchase, not even your own car. I've never had that issue in any other car manufacturer, they let you test drive your own ordered car before signing.

How is someone supposed to buy a car without ever having driven it?

Yes it’s definitely all over the place.

I 100% agree with you.
I believe the Plaid’s on the market are the same people that bought up all the toilet paper Ps5 and Xbox’s.
greedy dealership’s I truly hope they get burned!

Probably had multiple pre-refresh orders with delivery price $12k lower than an idenrtical order placed today. Take delivery & then try to flip it to make a quick buck off some impatient shmuck willing to pay a premium to skip the wait direct from Elon.
