Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Danlbrau]

After seeing all those LR MS’ from the drone footage I am holding out hope to see my 1/1/21 ordered LR delivered on June as well.

Have had a “blank” for delivery date for quite a while

Let’s hope that’s what “blank” means. My convo with a SA earlier this week that indicated SoCal deliveries are only EOQ was not good news. What was unsaid was that production earlier in the quarter was shipped out of state in order to maximize quarterly deliveries, saving March, June, September and December production for deliveries for CA. I hope he’s wrong.

I consider her to be 100% reliable.

That's impressive! I'm not sure I know anyone that is 100% reliable. How do I meet these people?

So...the short cable charger has been sold out for quite some time now on the Tesla sight. As August is approaching, I'm starting to get a little nervous about actually having the charger installed in time. Think maybe it's time to call an electrician, and have everything else done before the charger becomes available?

I had an electrician swap out my older ChargePoint charger for the new Tesla Wall Connector Charger in March just after I sold my previous EV thinking I was taking delivery of my MS Plaid in March. It's been sitting there with the green light on and connected to my wifi ever since, lol.

There is a greater than Zero chance of that, I suppose...

I like the Tesla wall connector, but it isn't really necessary for charging a single vehicle. I have two wall connectors that I use to charge multiple EV's concurrently. The Tesla wall connectors I have are great at this because they communicate with each other and adjust the voltage to the maximum I can charge on both cars at the same time.

For a single EV, you should be just fine with a Nema 14-50 dryer receptacle and the charger that comes with the car. The only reason to pay extra for the Tesla wall connector is if you need to charge your car faster. Using a 14-50 receptacle with the mobile connector will allow you to charge at 32 Amps on a 50 amp breaker or approximately 23 miles per hour for the Model S. The Tesla Wall connector will charge at 48 amps on a 60 amp breaker and approx 34 miles per hour.

Yes, charging it faster is better for me; quite often, I drive to Miami for customer appointments (150-180 miles round trip)...come back home and then want to go out to dinner with the family or for some craft beers with my buddies, so it's nice to charge it, even for an hour or two to get some extra miles on the battery for later.

Really enjoy reading the thread so far. Glad to see so many MS enthusiasts waiting to take delivery!

Ordered a Plaid/Red/21"/Black interior/FSD on 3/22 (RN1146) and started with 4-10 weeks, then went straight to 6/1-6/30 3 weeks ago. When the site started going through all the maintenance a week or two ago it jumped to August twice so far, but jumped back to 6/1-6/30 within half a day so I'm optimistic those are my dates Delivery location is in Marina Del Rey.

On another note, someone mentioned the tilt screen being deleted as a feature. I also recall one of the features being listed was ambient lighting and you can see still see them in the interior photos. Are we no longer getting ambient lighting as well??

Fine--on things she has told me and commitments she has made on Tesla-related things, she has always come through.

 

[Nappypapi]

@boonedocks any additional information that can be gleamed from your time with MS? What does frunk look like, how was the rear screen??

 

[omarsultan]

What about LR? We really looking at Aug?

Dunno. I still held onto my LR order - it still says Aug.

It's definitely well worth the investment in your use case. The extra speed in those types of situations is invaluable, but a lot of people have short commutes of 5-10 miles and then want to go out in the evening and in that type of situation the included Mobile Connector that will charge at 32 Amps is sufficient.

It definitely looks better than the Mobile Connector hanging from a receptacle. So, there is an aesthetic value to having it on your garage wall if you are into that sort of thing.

Noooooooooo. This has been banned from being discussed. @Tigers has been awoken.

 

[derevan007]

LR order since 1/30. Was 6/1-6/30 changed to blank. I’ve never seen a July or August estimate.

Someone told me they aren't going to make red MS anymore. Those orders are being converted to the new hot pink metalllic.

Yes, but with more sparkles.

Daily JSON diff update. Looks like FSD/EAP changed from $14K to $15K after delivery.

Went from:

"addAfterDelivery": "$4,000 if added after delivery",

To:

"addAfterDelivery": "$5,000 if added after delivery",

And went from:

"removeAutoPilot": "Yes, remove Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving ($14,000). Your pricing will be updated. ",

To:

"removeAutoPilot": "Yes, remove Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving ($15,000). Your pricing will be updated. ",

I hate you all.

@Maximus023 - No, ambient lighting is still there, hidden within the features list....

Thank god the ambient lighting is still there

all those LR MS’ from the drone footage

Is this sure?

The only way to say these are LR would be to spot the absence of red calipers on every car. Or stitching and decor inside.

The spoiler can be attached after transort, yet as delivery is about to happen.
