Anyone think the refreshed MS vehicles seen on the trucks in the past few weeks were all demo cars to be shipped out to all the Tesla SC’s across the US so consumers and auto industry media can test drive for evaluations and media reviews? Plausible right?
Plausible, but that'd mean the service reps had inaccurate info. They told me they were personally informed that customers were the priority, and that showroom models would come afterwards. So, I could expect to test drive at the end of May.
Maybe. But there's a bit of a difference between waiting for an update from a startup that's only produced a few of a single line of car (roadster), and waiting for an update from one of the most highly valued public companies in the world, which produces hundreds of thousands of cars across four models every year.
And the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing while the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing.
Haha true that. Though back then they were really just ramping a first product. This is just a refresh and overhaul of existing tooling ...
According to two SA's in different locations, and again - grain of salt, but two locations in NJ have told me that it's come from up the chain. Priority is customers, not showroom cars. The timeline estimate? That was just something they threw out there, NOT an update from up the chain.“Personally informed” by whom? Another SA? Someone on this forum?
Tesla isn’t telling anyone outside of Fremont what’s going on.

I did check the "Meet Your Tesla" videos a couple times.
Isn't it technically from scratch? I know the product looks the same but the entire chassis design is new, the interior is new, the factory line combining S/X into one line is new. Not intending to defend them, I want my car too, I just think this huge holdup is an issue either in software, factory permit, or some new part for the interior not delivering. I just wish we knew what it was.
Thank you sir. No it’s not. I raised it to get over the parking stop so it wouldn’t scrape. That’s at its highest setting.
Forgot my son took this one while at the dealership when I was getting a crash course on the basic functions.
Gorgeous body, and quality of build, but that interior...I think there is too much to look at, touch and futz with....yes, would probably get used to it, but why would one have to? I appreciate the simplicity and elegance of the S even more so now.....
