Anyone received delivery of 2019 'Raven' Refresh?
- Thread starter DoubleE
- Start date
Yup. That’s how I got delivery date of June 18th. I still have no vin on page but do in code. They told me it shows for delivery June 18th if everyone goes right if not the 20th. Will see. But definitely do without zip you get a lot more info
Also, I know it's hard to relax when you don't yet have your car, or solid info, but rest assured that Tesla will do everything it can to deliver as many outstanding orders by 6/30 as possible. We already know from leaked info that they are trying for a record quarter, and that sales & delivery are being incentivized to hit that record.
That's probably not super-reassuring for folks experiencing the cone of silence from Tesla, but it really is a thing.

Discussed upthread a few times, or maybe in the Time of Delivery thread. If you call Tesla's main #, choose sales, then sales without a delivery date, you are asked for your zip code. That puts you through to your local delivery center, where presumably no one ever answers. If you instead just wait and do not enter a zip, you get the mothership. People answer there, and quickly. They also have insight into exactly where your car is at in the process (if you have a car assigned to you). They see this info well before it hits your Tesla account.
And to be clear, I'm not suggesting that everyone inundate Tesla with daily 'Dude, where's my car?' calls. But for example in my case, I needed the VIN and the updated MVPA in order to ensure that my third-party lender was ready to go before delivery. Calling in allowed me to get this info and I was all set to go when delivery came (and it came a few days earlier than initially anticipated, so this was crucial in my case).

There is a drawback with them rushing to fulfill as many orders as possible by the end of this quarter, and that is... they are "rushing". There are bound to be more mistakes than normal and I would be thorough with your inspection of the car. No doubt the service center will fix things, but just plan on being higher number of defects when folks are rushing.
Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with this thread. Do the Raven's have updated tires on the 20" or 22" wheels?

Troubleshooting via forum seems less productive than taking it back to service center and having them diagnose and solve the issue. If you are just asking if anyone else is having issues, I have not read any, and mine did not exhibit any issue with it either.

What was on the car previously? I only know what is on my new one... well to be honest. I don't know that at the moment, because it is still at the detail shop. So I am basically no help here. Sorry I should have refrained from replying at all. =)
Checking to see if others had something similar. I've never owned or driven an X, but I have a 3 and that is smooth as silk. The X steering wheel just has vibrations like a wheel alignment/balance. It's very noticeable.
Update: Delivery rep was told from the service center to drive it for an additional 50 miles, if it persists, to schedule an appointment. More to come...

I am no mechanic, but that sounds like a brush off to me. I wonder how many issues like that disappear over a short break in period? I have had 3 other new cars before this one, none had anything like that. But... in 50 miles, you can take it back to them and hopefully they will get it taken care of. From what I have read, the service centers seem to do a pretty good job rectifying issues found after purchase. It must cost Tesla a small fortune to fix all the problems after delivery.

It's not a bad suggestion. It's possible the tires are flatspotted from being parked for too long. Check your tire pressure, then go for a highway trip at least 30 miles round trip. If the vibration doesn't go away by the end, there's a problem.

Are you changing lanes without using the turn signal?
Update: The vibration has certainly diminished after driving for an extended period of time. I felt some slight vibrations around 75mph and 35mph, but it definitely was not as consistent as when I first drove it and has smoothed out. I made an appt nonetheless for a week from now just in case it gets worse. If nothing else I will cancel.
Unrelated - Apparently someone took the car for a bit of a joyride(?) as the music settings had the bass set to maximum and the most recent music choices were all 'old town road' stations, rock stations, and other hip hop scattered throughout. 68 Miles upon delivery, perhaps this was the 'test' driver?
Autopilot - I miss having navigate on autopilot as well as the ability for autopilot to change lanes....perhaps on the next discount for FSD i'll pick that up b/c they are nice additions to have in the 3.
iOS App - no ability to schedule service appts for the X, while the 3 does have the ability to schedule service appts within the app. Maybe this is on purpose when you have multiple vehicles? Weird.
