Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Drew-MS]

Does tesla do any real pre-delivery showcase of their cars. I would be less anxious if they had real demo video or that presentation that elon promised on the Q4 call

The Y had demo cars very early on, but it was an exception. In general, you'd have to wait a few months.

That is usually a good thing to do after production changes anyway.

It didn’t take long for me to realize Tesla does things a bit unconventional. It’s super annoying sometimes.but I’ll deal with it.and drive my Tesla with a smile

Really starting to believe that no production ready Model S have come off of the line and the pictures we saw earlier in the week were more testers. Ugh.

Are they being built in the Fremont factory? They suffered a fire yesterday of one of the gigapress but I don't think those are used on the S anyways.

I think the biggest delay is the yoke review that's happening right now. No since to ramp up production builds if the steering column may have to be completely redone to go back to a round with stalks.

I'm just hoping for my 14 week estimate. But I'm not processing my loan paperwork till I see the first person here say I GOT A VIN. Haha

I agree.. They would have moved them to staging and the drones would have spotted them in the loading lot. I think someone will take delivery in March but 98% of us will be mid- April/May.

Here's to hoping for May would be a nice bday present to myself

This was going to be my birthday present to myself (end of March) and I've already told everyone not to get me anything else, so... damn.

One thing I noticed about the ones we’ve seen at Fremont so far is that the tempest wheel covers were attached. Other aero wheel styles don’t have the covers attached during shipping.

It would shock me if this was all due to the yoke. Regardless, I think we will see cars before the next earnings call, but not in March. That’s my guess. Which is a total SWAG.

Tesla updated the app just a couple of hours ago. This update included primarily only new Model S refresh assets. All interior images included the yoke. So, we are getting closer. I'd take that to mean the yoke is final and approved, otherwise, no reason to send these assets out

To avoid disappointment, I have decided that will be my present next May

Wheel shape and "stalkless" are two different things--we've seen mules, like the one in Ohio, with a round wheel, but the same touch controls that imply stalkless.

Can you explain? Everything looks the same to me as it has for last few weeks...

It's in the source code, not displayed. Which means that once someone has a Model S delivered, these assets will show.

Yea. I'm just saying the whole concept between both those are under review. Prob what's keeping things delayed. But then again. Who knows.

Perfect. Between this change and the app update, looks like something is in motion! Question: does the fremont factory run 24/7 for any lines? Or is it only open Monday thru Friday?
