2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

[impastu]

I never really considered this. Do you think there’s a way to historically track vins or deliveries by color? I get the idea that white, then other colors may allow avoiding a cleaning of the paint equipment, but I’d imagine a bit through should clear it all, no? I also get, pick color A, do 20 cars or until paint runs out, then next batch…not sure if based on supply of paint, demand, algorithms, or what.

Either based on the backlog of orders (for S/x) or whatever the paint monkey feels like loading that day?

You have some fingers for black exterior?

Sorry bout that. After having a black 750 for 10 years I can’t imagine ever owning black again.

I realized yesterday driving my former "weekend car" to work, it is the exact opposite of my new S. Black on black, manual 6 speed. Now that I've been having to drive it daily since August, this is going to be really special going to a white/ white S !

I'm trying to guard against getting too excited, but I could be less than a month away now... not likely, but possible!

Well I got bumped again to January 29 - February 26. Fml

Lol. I didn’t want another white car either. Two of those in driveway. Not my daily drivers but they don’t get washed unless by me. Looking forward to MSM.

I’m totally patient. No rush. Haven’t prepared much. Except for winter tires on Signature wheels, quartz ceramic application (used on four existing vehicles practicing so need to buy more), all weather mats, frunk and trunk mats being delivered next week, roof rack, ski carrier attachments, outdoor car cover (garage is a wood shop / pantry / art studio / storage room).

I’m totally relaxed about my EDD.

I was bumped from late December 27-January 17 to January 20 -February 17. If it really takes that long, an EQS will be in my garage instead of the Tesla. This is just stupid, stupid, stupid.

Ya, that would be appropriate description of going with EQS

For context. That’s my exact build. I’m in New Jersey and ordered April 15. My EDD has been Nov 13 - Dec 3 for five weeks.

Today my late June order has moved from January to the last two weeks of December. Mixed feelings….excited to get the car….concerned about late’21 VIN during end of year push.

Why is the 2022 date such a big deal to people. I just want my car

You immediately take a depreciation hit when the new model year hits. Less important if you’re keeping it 8-10 years The used car market is conditioned that model year equals value versus production date.

I don't think it matters at all. I'd just list the build date in the car ad. If people don't already know then I'd educate them on how Tesla does updates to their cars.

Plus many people are selling their model s already more than $30k than what many of us are paying for ours. Won't be that way forever but if the estimated dates keep moving on the website and the price changes stick, we are all going to be fine (plaid will definitely take it the worst in 2-3 years).

Like some of you have reported, my 30Dec-18Jan date slipped to 23jan-20feb… so annoying but I have a feeling there’s gonna be a lot more of these reports coming in

 

[fordhamg]

I got pushed back about 3 weeks to Jan 21 to Feb 18

 

[KyleDay]

My RN1151 June LR order is still holding strong at 12/14-1/3. Been that way for like 5 weeks or more.

 

[RxVanco]

I did a partial direct deposit, just enough to cover the monthly payment. That way you can use your preferred account the same way you always have.

Got it - Thanks!

 

[oktane]

Went from Oct to late December today. :/

Frunk and trunk mats! Where from?

 

[RxVanco]

What if you had your normal account direct deposit to them? I.e. if work hits on say, the 10th, what about the 12th to them?

I asked and they stated it has to be directly from the employer and not a bank transfer

Welp, I was supposed to pick up the car this Friday (10/29) but I just got a call from Tesla saying that there's been issues with the trucking company they use to ship cars. So my pick up date got pushed to Nov 2nd. I had a whole weekend planned around having this car on Friday, why can't businesses get their *sugar* together.
