2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

[Draketurner]

Haha, I've had similarly frustrating calls.

The most common lie seems to be, "I'm seeing exactly what you're seeing." We know that they see more than the EDD based on several anecdotes on this forum. If they just told us what they saw, we'd probably call less frequently. I know that they can't make guarantees, but it's helpful to have more information.

One of them though, was fantastic. I asked if the car was coming with summer, or all-season tires. I was told that although it's coming with summer tires, they're "not the most performance summer tires". Basically, I should be ok unless I'm driving up to Killington in the winter. (This is completely false, those tires start to crack at 45 degrees Farenheight).

I thought it was funny that that's the example he used, because ... well, I'm going to drive up to Killington in the winter. He said it like Killington is not a common destination in the winter? I don't think anyone mentioned to him that people do ski and snowboard...

On top of that, he said that I'd have to get custom rims if I want ANY tires besides the summer tires, because these rims are a non-standard size. Bold faced lie. There are tires for these rims, you just need to get tires rated by Tesla. Plus, there are clearly all-season tires, as we know now.

You might get all seasons, its really just luck of the draw it seems. I think Tesla is just putting whatever they can source onto the cars.

I have in writing from my SC that I’m getting all seasons. If I don’t get them, I’ll go to them with the email and see what they can do. There’s precedent that you can get a free swap.

No kidding! Today my EDD changed to Sept 24-30. SA knows zilch other than don't call us, we'll call you.

Same here on both counts - same EDD change and response from SA - after a VIN is assigned, you'll get a call from delivery when it's ready.

Lots and lots of EDD's for the next 8 days, but how many actual deliveries scheduled?

Can you post that letter? I would love to use that as leverage it’s mine do not.

 

[Kkustes03]

What are the member requirements?

Not sure. I think it’s like a typical CU. U just have to open an account and Probably make a $100 deposit.

 

[MEL-22]

What are the member requirements?

Military, military familiy member or military sponsor basically... That was my experience. My wife is 34+ years Army...

Anything to double check when I get my car? Being delivered this Saturday

There's that long checklist you can use, but really you want to just check for any external issues right away. Any scratches, paint issues, the type of stuff you want them to note ASAP. You have 100 miles after delivery to report stuff.

Call him back and tell him to get back to Subway....ah er, prison.

I picture him saying, “would you like fries with that?”

 

[bhakan]

What are the member requirements?

You can deposit $5 to a savings account and does not have to be in military. You get a member acct# and use for auto loan application. They have 1.99% for 60-72 mon and 1.79% for 36 months also. Got 1.79% but the approval was good for 30 days. have to apply again.

With all the stuff thats going on I think I am going to get a push tomorrow probably. I am a Fremont direct pickup and no VIN yet. EDD moved from 17-30 to 22-30 on the 18th. So I am guessing tomorrow it will either shrink more or move further to next month.
My SA's in Dublin and knows squat or even rarely responds. The email to the delivery team just tells me EDD is estimate only so wait for it. Just poor. I felt like a king when I bought my BMW x7.. just saying.
Whats the typical VIN assignment time for fremont deliveries anyone know.

Tesla Model S Carbon Fiber Sport Trunk Decklid Spoiler

Factory Tesla Model S trunk spoiler too small? Buy our more aggressive and sporty Tesla Model S gloss carbon fiber trunk spoiler! Attaches with double sided tape that is already adhered to the Tesla Model S carbon fiber trunk spoiler!

tsportline.com

yeah, not easy to find on the site but here it is...

That is a beautiful looking spoiler. And I understand my old one was secured with double sided tape but considering that could be removed in a heartbeat and goodbye $1,100 I don’t know if it’s going to be something this victim of having cars stripped around LA is going to invest in.

It's the end of quarter crunch. Things are definitely going to be wonky over the next couple weeks.

But I have no doubt they are delivering as many cars as they physically can right now.

Had an infuriating conversation with a customer service rep over the phone today. For context, i ordered an MSM with white interior and 19s back in May.

Had an EDD of Sept. until August, then it changed to October after the apology email. Last week it went to Sept. 20-30 so i called Fremont and was told that my car is in build phase and should be ready this month or in October.

This Monday i woke up to updated EDD of Nov29-Dec19. Today i called customer service. This guy Jared picked up and proceeded to argue with me that no LR model s are in production and never been and only Plaids are in production. I told him that i have seen them and part of TMC and 100s of people have them. He told me im wrong and not seeing what im seeing. Said im seeing Plaids.

I never wanted to hurt someone so bad.

The people who work for Tesla routinely know less than the people on these forums. I don't even bother to ask anyone. I got into a pleasant "argument" with a service representative about the tires on my 2019 Model S. He had no idea what the T1 tire was and argued that they did not exist (when they were already on three of my wheels). It's not their fault. They are told nothing.

File this one under “another Tesla employee that has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about”.

And that is going to be a very long book.

Sorry for the treatment you are getting. Hopefully when the car finally comes it will be a distant memory.
