Benefits to Delayed Delivery

[robbieduncan]

This is a thread for those of us who had June EDDs that have been pushed to Q3 or beyond to speculate on what (if any) improvements might be made to the cars that we will benefit from by getting later delivery. Hopefully something to make us feel good as we miss out on cars this time round

I don't think we're going to see the return of radar to the cars. I don't see the larger castings from Berlin being added to MIC cars (I don't think they have the capabilities outside of Berlin yet). So what small improvements might we see?

- Parcel shelf...

I think thats it?

23 plates (after Nov). That'll probably be it in reality

I'd love a HUD with telemetry info on though. Imagine that

Is there a set time of years that Telsa make amendments to cars or is it completely unpredictable?

I really hope it's more like September than November!

Do they offer a HUD in any car? It seems like quite a missing feature for such a tech driven company

I think it might be a 72 plate!

After September we'll start to see 72 plates.

Agree parcel shelf would be nice.

Improved sound dampening

Elon's thoughts were ...

“We discussed a HUD [for Model 3]. I’ve tried various HUDs and I find them pretty annoying. We felt that [Model 3] would increasingly go towards self-driving, and then you wouldn’t really care about having [information] on the windscreen. So, as things are approaching autonomy, why project things that you don’t care about on the [windscreen]?" Musk said.

Exactly. Until the offer FSD (that is actually FSD, not just a marketing name) and it's a no-cost option they need to make driving the car as easy and enjoyable as possible.

 

[sahajesh]

Sigh, typical Tesla/Elon.

Maybe one day he’ll be gone and they can do things properly instead of only doing things based on what he’s thinking on a particular day

Berlin are getting parcel shelf and covered plastic on the rear door entry to prevent the seatbelt clip rattling, on the Y. So delayed delivery might see these. Only only other thing is rumoured new colour choices from Berlin. But I guess these would be reflected in the configurator for new orders.

What about this rumour that there could be a rear screen for passengers to control climate and play games, like the S/X. A connection for it was found recently on the Ryzen Infotainment computer. It would be absolutely no value to me as the driver.

I'd rather have the HUD/standard location dials as the second screen

Maybe wait until you've got the car before wishing to change it. After about the first 30 mins I've seen no point in having 'standard location dials' over the past 2.5 years.

I have test driven one for about 40 minutes. I can live without the standard dials. But I have no desire for a screen in the back for my kids to mess with/fight over. So if there is going to be an additional screen I can see the benefit of moving my eyes off the road less

you don't say

 

[robmcm]

Surely a drop in the VAT rate would be the best outcome!

Everyone loves HUD until there is a chip or a crack on the windscreen and then they see the cost of replacing their uber expensive FAD.
