What would be the purpose of launch control in an EV anyway? It’s not as if the motors have to rev up to provide instant response or peak power? And even if they did need to do that, it wouldn’t be possible because the motors are directly connected to the wheels, there’s no clutch or torque converter

Both S and X have launch control. The electric motors, even on the Performance models, aren't programmed to deliver maximum torque from zero RPM. Launch control, amongst other things, gives a more aggressive torque curve and changes the traction control to allow some slippage.
Got a vin Assigned. Melbourne MY RWD.. Del window shows May 9 to May 30. Any idea which ship?
Quite possibly the Turandot arriving 9th May from Shanghai. When you get your final invoice, check your build date. Turandot left Shanghai on the 24th April.
The ships are unloaded ASAP. Cars do not just sit on them. One of the reasons for delays in docking is to ensure the port has the capacity for the ship to unload. After that it depends on available parking next to the port, whether quarantine cleaning is required and what the supply of transporters to move them to distribution centres it.
A bad example is my car in Sydney. Arrived at Port Kembla late March, I won't see it until May 4th - ~6 weeks sitting in Autonexus car lot behind the huge load of Teslas from the ship before them.
It is chaotic in our ports at the moment and most of not all of it is totally out of Tesla's control.
Thanks for clarifying. All seems a bit of a mess to be honest. At least your wait is almost over! Counting down the days.
No launch control. Just press the accelerator to the floor and you launch lol
when was your build date? mine was ~14th or so. so doubt it's made its way onto that boat.
Mine was built on the 14th as well. Pretty sure all the 14th orders are on Morning Crystal.
HI everyone. When your Model Ys arrive, can you share your thoughts on the suspension and ride? Tesla has not officially confirmed that the new Model Ys out of Shanghai have comfort suspension for the export models (they started fitting the comfort suspension from January 2023 at the factory). I am debating to order after I hear this or will order beforehand if I know the suspension is more compliant. It is by far and away my biggest concern.
(I know the performance model has the new suspension in Australia but haven't heard for the other 2 models)

Hi gubes,
I haven't got my car yet, but have read repeatedly (including grizzlybear's post yesterday) that MYRWD for Australia (and therefore out of Shanghai) has comfort suspension. It seems likely that Hong Kong is receiving the same, but only Tesla could confirm that for you. I don't know when you did your test drive. If it was recent, you may already have tried the new suspension.
lol I don't disagree as that was my earlier interpretation some months back but someone corrected me that they were not RWD. I had not bothered to recheck or correct the earlier post as my interest in my MYP.
I test drove one a few weeks ago but it was a 2022 build and the ride was too firm for my taste. I spoke with them and they cannot confirm the comfort suspension.
Unfortunately, Tesla being unable to tell you just what features your car will have/actually has seems to be a common problem. It will likely be another month or so before I can tell you what mine is like, but even that may not help you in Hong Kong.
