Where is everyone seeing a "delivery" field? When I log into the tesla.com/teslaaccount page, I only see this...
I ordered the exact same car. Changes may or may not matter. It really just depends on what you change when. Tesla builds in batches and then sends them out. So you may actually move up in line by changing color, but there is no way to really know. On my first order back in 2013 I changed to the performance seats at no costs a few weeks before it was built. FSD I have been told won't change anything if you add/subtract it. Sorry, not a great answer, but in the grand scheme of things, order what you want. A delay of a week or two, or getting the color you want will be worth it.
When I placed my order, to purchase the car seemed to make more sense. However, there are some factors and unknowns to consider:
I probably won't change it, but as more time goes by waiting...I start to waffle on the color. On a side note, my delivery date has always been 5-11 weeks from order placed date. I've seen other people post that their date keeps changing. I've never seen a date for mine and, If my math is right, 11 weeks was last Thursday...but who who's counting? My expected window for delivery has passed, but still no change to what is displayed in my account. If the delivery pushes past the beginning of July, I'm going to have to change my delivery address. I'm going away for 5 months for some training and I'll have to take delivery in Florida rather than Illinois where I am currently.
I'm not seeing them. There's a couple/few MS in row A12, but none have the new all-season (i.e., non-Arachnid) wheels. In fact, that second white one is sporting pre-refresh rims.
Where? I see no MS in the queues, with the possible exception of the two at the front of row A12, but those don't have the refreshed front facia.
Don't forget, some comments about delays due to calibrate the yolk.
I don’t understand this order. A Plaid or Plaid+ doesn’t have Turbine wheels or Oak Wood Decor as an option.
My last car purchase held its value really well. I bought a 93 3000GT VR-4 in 2004 for 16k (3k over KBB). I sold it in December for 14.5K.
“The first three digits of the VIN, “5JY,” indicates that the vehicle was manufactured by Tesla, as 5YJ represents Tesla’s World Manufacturer Identifier. All Tesla VINs begin with 5YJ.”
I ordered my Model S long range about the same time and I get monthly messages with no real update on delivery date. This is the first car I have experienced this with. I have order two custom high end BMWs and one Porsche and the Tesla experience is the worst I have ever seen. I am even putting solar on my home and the solar dealer told me not to go with a Tesla system because they treat their customers the same ways the car side of the business treats their customers with. I am a little worried that if this is the way I am treated now, what happens if I need a major fix in my new car? The black hole is just not professional not acceptable... but then I have no choice for a Tesla Model S Long Range. Competition is coming to the EV market and the other car companies don’t treat their customers like this.
Once a VIN is issued, does the Tesla landing page show the VIN as opposed to the reservation number? I'd like to save the step of actually clicking "Manage" to see the (lack of) updates.
One thing I noticed about the lease is that the cost to increase from 10K to 15K miles is nominal. It adds $49/mo on an LR and if you think about it you're getting 50% more value (miles) for $49/mo more.
