Black Onyx Wheels

[vandacca]

I remember seeing black 22" rims somewhere, but they were dipped after delivery.

For what little it is worth, my DS just sent me a note which in part says:

I was able to do some digging and found that your order & delivery timing is not affected by the onyx wheels.

So...there is that.

Depends on your configuration, if you ordered P90DL or P90D it most certainly would affect your delivery as it changes the delivery date from "early 2016" silver 22in to "mid 2106" onyx 22in. If on the other hand your ordered a 70, for example, then your DS is accurate as the delivery date (with or without onyx wheels) is well passed "mid 2016".

They were dark gray.

There is a set of 20's that were plastidipped black though.

That's great news!

I decided to do same additional analysis of the 'Are black/onyx wheels delaying VIN assignment'.


NOTE: I am only looking at entries that have a wheel type chosen and are not Undecided.


If we ASSUME that the data in ModelXTracker is accurate then 18% (76 of 428) of Production X's have VINs. 15% (7 of 48) of the X's with black/onyx.


This does not indicate that there is any delay specifically caused by the tire choice.


NOTE: The data points out that only 50 to 60% of the Founders and Signatures have VINs, I believe that these numbers are very low and should be closer to 90 to 100%.

Scholarly approach on wheels, well presented. I think our orders are close. Me P90D, all goodies and Onyx 22" Our residences close also; you SE end of 73 (LR) me NW end of 73 (NB). Me confirmed 12/19/15. Waiting for VIN like you.

 

[Mike_F]

"av8rbud": From what I can tell from the data, only 15% of production with black onyx wheels have a VIN assigned. How many of those have actually been delivered, my guess ZERO and will not be until at least September. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but reality has a habit of being like that. Check with ModelXboy, he had the same issue with the black onyx wheels, fully loaded no VIN, he changed to 22in silver now has a VIN and his confirmation date is 3 weeks after yours...

Thanks Mike_F, as the cliche goes. 'It is what it is". ModelXboy's story is the first real verification that the Onyx wheels made the difference. I'm just going to wait it out although I thought the idea of powder coating seems it might be a good way to go. I certainly wouldn't balk at the $500 hit if I thought it would would make 3 to 4 months difference. Our biggest fear is that there is a hidden 'back door' way to gain earlier delivery, that would be so unfair to us who are just waiting our turn. I don't think there is any chicanery, maybe just not as organized as we would all hope.

No chicanery, just lack of internal communication and consistency

There have only been four Production X's delivery according to the tracker. Here is a modified chart showing #s.

The numbers are so low, no conclusion can be drawn from them.

I have downloaded the entire file and performed a lot of analysis. First a lot of the records are not complete and are inaccurate. People have not been carefull when entering the info. I think bogus information has been added probably by trolls. But you are right based on the information and the forum there is no other conclusion than there will be no deliveries of cars with onyx wheels until after September. Several forum users have spoken directly with factory and have been provided this information. DSs are kept in the dark.

Another data point for everyone. I confirmed my order on 1/18. 7 seat P90D with everything except ludicrous. Have been following this discussion on the Onyx wheels and wondering if it would hold up my order.

Was assigned a delivery specialist on 2/4. Asked him if he knew anything about the Onyx wheel delay. He checked with the factory but said there was nothing to indicate a delay. He was also good enough to say that even if there was a problem, he was unlikely to be told. He did confirm that he has not seen a single vehicle delivered with the Onyx wheels and that I could take that for whatever its worth.

I was 50/50 on the Onyx wheels anyway so I just decided to switch them out last week for the silver 22" wheels. Made the change on Friday. Yesterday, MyTesla site updated to say my Tesla has entered the factory production queue. No VIN number assigned yet.

I went back to DS just to see if my vehicle was already scheduled for production with the Onyx Wheels. He said unlikely as he made the change immediately when we spoke on Friday.

Again, I have no idea if its just a coincidence. But figured I've gotten a lot of good information off this board and while speculation was not going to add anything to the discussion, this is an actual data point.

My RN is 4468

This is baffling. People with P90D's fully load that reserved in 2014 still don't have VINs. Congrats BJJ, but with similar config (yes Premium,etc P90D) that was reserved in 2015 -- reservation 91xx, and no VIN. This is really getting "hap-hazzard".

Thanks Aljohn. You about 8,700 spots in FRONT of me, yet no VIN. Do you think you may have fell through the cracks somewhere? What has your DS said? I am taking delivery in Fremont - Maybe that helped...I hope you get your VIN soon.
