Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Ribeyesteak]

I’ll be happy to be a guinea pig. So if you have a June delivery and I have August, I’d be happy to switch. I’ll even throw in 1000 free sc miles

I might do that. I have a 1145 reservation. Do they allow this?

 

[Drew-MS]

Mine just moved to July now as of this morning.
Was holding at June 17-30th. Ugh. Sick of this.

At least you have a date. I’m still blank

 

[Leojsayta]

Maybe the delay is because CVS was out of something and they are waiting for Amazon to deliver a part. Or autozone was out of washer fluid.

I think it’s lumber from Home Depot and Lowe’s. Mass amounts needed to retrofit an extra support bracket for the new adjustable rear spoiler.

Unfortunately, I’m (blank X 3) or xxx

You guys still have some pitches left. My strikeout is on the scorecard!

My account is still not showing any est date range, but I've already accepted a likely July or Aug delivery so anything sooner would be a nice surprise. Although I think they're going to commit to the 6/10/21 "delivery event" now, I still only think a small portion of MS Plaid orders will actually be delivered in June...maybe VIPs, Tesla employees, and super early pre-refresh announcement orders.

This is my first Tesla so again, I'm not sure how it all works; seems completely haphazard and random...like they literally just conduct their deliveries on the fly and see the process as a completely fluid situation hyping things up and up only to move the goalposts further and further back without even an ounce of care for their customers. The vehicle itself may in fact over-deliver on performance and technology, but the company and it's ordering/delivery process is absolutely a complete failure. It's difficult to fathom that in 10+ years (and don't tell me it's more like just the fast few years starting from the M3 launch...b.s. -- they've been manufacturing, selling, and delivering EVs for 10 years!), Tesla Motors has not learned that it's truly better to under-promise and over-deliver on everything!

My first MS was delayed from the original pickup date. Told me early March when I ordered, then nothing, then a few days before it was supposed to be delivered they said Mar 25, 2015, then the day before “we’ll be in touch when it’s ready”. Eventually delivered March 28. So some unnecessary plane reservation changes and frustration. But the six years with that car more than made up for it. Also watching it play out again is why I don’t care what my “estimated delivery” window is, since blank is just as informative as a date range.

I’ll be happy to find out..

Sorry to ask again but could someone point me in the direction for the link to the order tracker for these refreshed/plaid model S’? Thanks.

It's interesting in yesterday's flyover. All the MS are pretty much gone except for those that were parked by the train tracks that are incredibly dirty (and those have been moved to the logistics lot). But there's significantly less MS at the factory now. I'm wondering if they're all headed now on trucks for the "nationwide" delivery event. Makes since if it's just software hold up and some programer said we can't deliver I've got this one last thing to fix.

That would make 6/10/21 work pretty well since an East Coast delivery would work if shipped at the end of last week. LRS for THE win

Since we are waiting another week, I'll ask for some delivery advice just to stay kinda on topic. What are the 2-3 must haves or do for your model S upon taking delivery? (screen protector?, drive for Sentry mode, etc.) I see all of these posted videos but can't tell if these people are just selling sponsored goods.

Two things I already suggested earlier: any UMC adaptors you need and the paint touch-up kit.

Beyond that OptiCoat, the other major things I get:

• Window tint--darker tint for the back and IR shielding for the front driver and passenger windows
• Tire inflation kit like https://shop.tesla.com/product/tire-repair-kit or similar
• Some kind of organizer for the back so stuff like grocery bags do not fly around, something like this (https://smile.amazon.com/MIU-COLOR-...rds=car+trunk+organizer&qid=1622312625&sr=8-5) but I would wait until we get trunk dimensions before buying one
• Emergency tool: SEPTIMO™ MULTI-TOOL
• First aid kit

Looks like new Plaid orders are now August delivery on the website.

Looks like new Plaid orders are now August delivery on the website.

1. Not sure I would believe anything on the Tesla website and/or our Tesla accounts.
2. I would be really pissed if new orders just placed in May and June get their MS Plaids delivered before mine and others ordered at the beginning of Feb!

As noted before: Still showing June if you pick wood. They must be out of carbon fiber.

All Carbon Fiber - August
White - August

Do you have a preferred tint manufacturer?

Not sure I'm buying the theories on the CF trim panels and white vegan leather interior; Tesla is still pumping out M3 and MY vehicles with white interiors and we've seen many MS LR & Plaids with white interiors in the drone flyovers, although white exterior MS vehicles seem to be rare (from what we've seen outside the Fremont facility) but again, it's not like they ran out of white paint. I don't think anyone truly knows the reasons for their crazy "expected delivery" time frames except perhaps those Tesla employees actually working on building and QC'ing the vehicles.

and how to do feel about seat protection (ceramic, etc.) for white interiors?

The Tesla website says ALL glass comes with:

1. Ultraviolet and infrared protection on all glass.

Is this misleading? I never know with the way things are going this year.

Llumar Stratos or Pinnacle on the back and AIR in the front

Website now says “White or Carbon Fiber deliveries begin in August”. Ugh now I’m wondering if this is for ALL orders or just the ones from here on out.

I’ve been very patient this far but I’m beginning to reach the end of my line with the utter lack of anything concrete.

I need a car more than I need the white interior. However given the choice I’d rather have the white interior. Tesla’s lack of communication at this point is causing me to contemplate compromising on the choice of my car in order to potentially secure a car in a timely manner. I’m spending $90k+ on this thing. I don’t want to get inside every day and ruminate not getting the white interior. At the same time, having to wait till August or later is also a no-go. Ughhh makes me so frustrated!
