2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

[cwanja]

Thanks. Yes, that makes sense. Those things are missing. In theory, Tesla is supposed to notify me when they come in. In practice, I doubt Tesla will be able to keep track of this.

you should also have a 3rd piece for the trunk (I think) the corner storage area cover?

I have heard of people putting in service requests for the missing parts and Tesla will mail them.

Agreed, I doubt they will track it since there is no due bill agreed upon or service request created for it. Be proactive. I actually just submitted a service ticket for it since my car is in the shop for PPF, tint and ceramic. They moved the appointment from December 3rd to December 13th and changed from mobile service to a service center. No clue why, I told them I do not need service - I just need the parts. And I sure as hell do not need them to install the pieces.

GROSS, Did you make any changes? If not very sorry for you man

Thank you! It was originally grey/black 19, no FSD but I changed it less than a week after the initial order. I've recently see both build in person and I liked both a lot. I could have been happy with either but I do like the black a little more.

Looks amazing. And the pup looks ready to roll. Enjoy it!

Posted this on the delivery thread:
Tesla delivered my car this morning. It stayed in the garage as I played golf. Made an appointment for PPF and ceramic and drove to North Phoenix. Driving for the first time at 80 mph and trying to figure out the turn signals was a bit unnerving especially when there are 7 lanes. Got if figured out with my wife following in our P85. I did not notice any distortion in the rear window, but it could have been there but not obvious at all. The windows are not getting tinted so will take a closer look when I get it back. The white interior is stunning.

The question about the amount to pay. I mentioned the FSD "discount" and said the ability to pay is not available until 2 days before delivery which includes any adjustments. It shows on the Tesla app when payment can be made. I did use the Plaid service and it took about a minute. Pretty slick.

I want to chrome the wheels but my wife likes how MEAN the car looks with the black 21's on the white. Not sold yet but the PPF people agreed with her. All gaps looked great to me and I am very happy with the car even though it sat in a Fremont lot for a month. I will not get the car until Saturday.

You may be showing your age with the chrome wheels . If anything go black with some machine finish...Lexani or Forgiano

What is the latest on whether the 19's being delivered are all-season tires?

Delivery in South Texas 11/22 - summer tires.

Also live in South Texas. Summer is 11 and a half months of the year.

That I am, but I look so good LOL After getting several comments here about that ... The machine finish sounds interesting .. that is probably what I really want.

Any mid-Atlantic folks want to comment? I assume Virginia would get all-seasons, no?

@Richmonder I took deliver on the 24th, from the Glen Allen Service Center. The 19's on the MS came with Al Season tires.

Was just in the lot and noticed that while most had all-season, there was one set for delivery with summer tires. All were MF’s.

Seems like EDD's are moving around a lot less lately. Hopefully this is a good thing...

It may be a good thing, although in the past it seems like almost everyone's EDD stays the same for several weeks, and then a big wave comes and everyone's EDD changes significantly. My EDD was Dec 19-31 for 5-6 weeks before it went all the way back to Mar/Apr, and then fairly quickly adjusted to the current Jan/Feb. You and I ordered identical cars 2 weeks apart, and we're both in the mid-west. It's somewhat encouraging that our EDDs line up nearly exactly (my range is just 1 day behind your range, so I assume our cars will be "born" at the same time). They may be wrong, but at least they are consistent!

Agreed. I just posted on the main delivery thread, my more recent MY order has been shifting around a bunch, while the S has been rock solid for about 8 weeks now. I'm hoping that means the S will really come in that time frame or close to it, versus a massive EDD push to a bunch of us.
That also tells me (right or wrong) that there are slotted production colors, and I fall within the expected production corridor. At last that's my theory.

Agreed. hopefully we dont see more movement, i am excited for January.

I picked up my Plaid model S yesterday. I found a couple issues with dirt in the paint and some panel gaps were pretty large. The rear driver seat back leather seemed like it was loose and a bit wavy. I was just hoping that it'd get lucky and not have any issues, but it did. Of course they told me just to setup an appointment for the service center to fix the issues. I'm having PPF put on it after only driving 1 mile at normal speeds. The PPF place will do some paint correction where it needs. I setup a service appointment to work on some of the gaps and the back seat. Has anyone had success with the service center being able to fix the leather issue?
Here's a quick pic and of the seat issue.

Congrats on the car! Good color choices

Tesla might attempt to steam the leather to fix the waviness out, otherwise you are probably looking at a full bench replacement as the rear seats are a single unit. Personally, do not let them tell you that is "within spec".

How was your experience with Glen Allen?

it was ok-ish. i had to initiate about 80% of the email traffic between the project advisor and myself.
