Wiki Model S Delivery Update

Picked up this morning at the Delivery Center. Tesla sent an Uber to get me and drive the 51 miles to the Center. Delivery experience was pretty nice, new for me since my other Tesla was delivered to my house. Paperwork and intro done in 15 minutes. I had few questions thanks to this board and you fine people! Learned a couple new screen swipe gesture shortcuts that I had no idea about! Inspection yielded no issues, paintwork, undercarriage, wheels, tires, trim, interior all well executed build and work. Car was fully intact on delivery. Ludicrous (free for me ;) ) was present. Surprisingly, cameras were already calibrated even though only 30 miles on the odometer. Autopilot all the way home, forgot to set the NOA. Sound system is better than expected but not as good as my previous custom install (Reus Audio). Trim now gunmetal grey instead of silver (except the door handles for some strange reason). Far more efficient than previous P85 I had. DAS is noticeably different. Soft sprung unless in sport mode, but in standard, it is supple and quiet. Adjusts very quickly on turns/bank to stiffen and squat a little. System now drops to low height automatically at highway speeds. Haven't checked if it is adjustable like old system. Dual Motor with red underline on the performance. No P100D badge. Rear hatch motors are quieter, a little faster. No 14-50 connector with the UMC, only 5-15. UMC is smaller than the old one and slower charge, old one goes to 40A on charge (~31 mph). Still gotta figure out how to remove old car from the app. Pics to come soon!

Congratulations, @spatterso911! I'm a bit surprised that the UMC did not come with the 14-50 adapter, because I thought that was supposed to be standard (even our Model 3 came with it). Regardless, thanks for the write-up! I'm waiting impatiently for mine.

That’s a fairly recent change. I remember people discussing it. You can still order the 14-50 adapter, it just doesn’t come with the car anymore. :confused:

Yes, it can still be ordered on the website. I have found, though that if you have a Gen 1 UMC, it charges at 30 mph vs 23 mph for the Gen 2. It’s worth it to get your hands on a Gen 1 14-50 for home charging unless you don’t mind the slower rate of charge.

Thanks Inside. I saw the item before but the pictures do not look like the adapter that I have as mine doesn't have a pigtail. I also did not notice you can scroll to see the 14-50. I have a Raven on order and am very concerned that it will not include the 14-50.

Looks like I might get my new "Raven" Performance S delivered next Tuesday (June 25). I was a bit worried about missing the tax credit deadline. Anybody else here order theirs before me (4/26) and not receive it yet?
