Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Drew-MS]

Interesting. After 31k posts, a lurker gets the first invite.

Why do I get the feeling we are being monkyed with?

For those getting the invite, please provide order date and car trim details and if you have FSD..

Lol prior model S owner, placed plaid plus order day 1, placed plaid order mid-March, and then a new Plaid order and I haven’t received any email, phone calls, Nada.. not even checking to make sure I’m still alive ha

Which is funny as if you'd kept the Plaid+ reservation, they'd be calling you and begging you to take June delivery.

Got a call yesterday from Fremont, CA "on a recorded line" telling me that due to my Plaid+ preorder in September being "one of the first", they would like to offer me "priority delivery" before the end of June on a Plaid, if I so wished to change my order, and that if I didn't it would be next year this time that I'd be hearing from them again. I did tell them I'd considered it, but would wait for the +. This was all expected, and not news to anyone who follows this thread, but he did offer to answer some questions, so I asked a few.

Q: What will differentiate the Plaid+ from the Plaid?
A: Mostly range, but also software "track mode", as well as other possible track-tuned items

-which lead to-
Q: I saw a spy shot of a Model S with an active spoiler being track tested, will this be on both the Plaid and Plaid+?
A: I saw that too, I'm pretty confident it won't be on the Plaid when first released.

Q: Any further insight into what to expect?
A: Honestly, they tell us after they release information to the public, and there's been a few times we've heard about something new from a customer.

So, where it was nice to be offered a priority slot, in the end it seems like Tesla is just trying to actively combat the Osbourne Effect. Since I'm enjoying my Model S now, I'll just live vicariously through you lot while I wait another 12 months for mine... My wife is going to get a MY LR though, so that should tide me over with the "new car feel" for a little while haha.

Good info and another reminder how stupid I was to cancel my plaid plus order ugh

Scrolling through the Tesla page out of boredom, I was reminded of why people in marketing are despicable.

I was trying to directly compare power of the MS, MS Plaid, and the M3 Performance. This is not easy to do, thanks to the great folks in the field of marketing.

The options section for ordering a MS shows the HP for the Plaid, but not the MS. The overview section shows the HP for both, but when you use the compare function, you cannot find the HP for the M3 Performance.

The Plaid uses rollout for the 2.0 sec 0-60, but not the MS for 3.1.

The M3 uses rollout for its 3.1, and it has a faster top speed than the MS.

So, no HP for the M3 and no rollout for the MS. Marketing has successfully muddled the waters of consumer choice.

Now don't get me started on comparing TV specs...

You are not the only one. My order page went blank, then was updated to "June" delivery date again. Then I read this thread early today and of course I am refreshing both email and this forum. I'm sure this is good for our blood pressure levels.

With the grammar issues I would normally toss this as a phishing attempt but this is Tesla with no PR/Marketing department to vet anything.

I can try to help clear up some of the confusion. The Plaid will be fastest, then the MS LR, and then Model 3P.

Within the last 1 million pages or so, a similar e-mail popped up and was determined to be phishing.

Same here... earlier when I typed ‘Tesla’ in search, all that came up were emails from Tsportline and Omaze lol

Just was curious, is this how they always showed the pricing detail of the MS by separating the base price and LR version? This is located in completed task section under pricing details. Maybe I never noticed before.

 

[dbtrizzle]

Been following this for months now, just wanted to contribute a bit...
LR White / Artachnid/ NO FSD
Ordered November of 2020
Refused delivery of older model in December 2020
Never had a date, had a "-" for 1 day, back to nothing.

 

[Drew-MS]

I’d add free supercharging for all of our wait time.

We missed you Bruce. Welcome back

Yep. That’s how mine has looked from Day One, even tho I never had the option to delete LR capability.

Love how they list the "Model S" at $64k like there's a "Model S" standard you can order. More silliness from the silliest company I can find at the moment.

 

[sflgator]

No change here; still no est delivery. No emails or texts. 1144xx, ordered 2/5/21. White MS Plaid white/black interior & FSD.
