Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[James-R10]

Here’s a bit off topic to keep this party rolling...

I signed to lease my Plaid before the $10,000 price increase. Post price increase, my residual value should have increased about $5,000 roughly (50% of the $10k increase). Shouldn’t that be reflected in an adjusted lease payment? My payment should go down roughly $140 per month over 36 months. I emailed my SA and I’m holding my breath.

Maybe not but at the very least you should have more equity at the end if you're doing PCP etc...

I vote ANC discussion for “off topic thread of the year”.

It is also super helpful for everyone on the forum if you put it in your signature and custom title. That way it can be seen on a mobile device and / or a desktop browser.

Updated mine just for you. Hah

I did have to go check again for the 100th time already today to ensure yes it's still blank.

Did you already post 0-60 drag video @omarsultan. I may have missed it

Are the Plaid cars still waiting on EPA ratings? thought I seen that somewhere

Yes

My SA texted me today. "We are hoping to start seeing the Model S in the southeast in the next couple of weeks and hopefully that will give us what we want to know"

Ok Megan, we are all hoping hopefully, but clearly you are not on the TMC....

I’m sure this will be another 200 posts, but generally that’s not how it works. Leasing companies base residuals on transaction prices, not MSRP. There may be exceptions, but the benefit you have is you won’t be eating part of that $10,000 increase. You won’t benefit from a higher residual and therefore lower monthly payment.

Two possibilities. The order book for Plaid is so small they can fill those AND new orders in two weeks, not counting the few configurations that are supply constrainted. Or, the June delivery date is about as meaningful as the Feb/March dates those of us that ordered Oct-Jan were given.

Guess which possibility is more likely?

We see they have healthy inventory sitting in Fremont (maybe 300-400), plus what they have already sent out on transport plus another two weeks of building (maybe another 500), so, if the supply chain gos smile on you, things should start moving for orders. If you pick a confine that can be fulfilled out of inventory (dark color, dark interior, etc) then odds for this month still seem good.

Don’t be premature! Let’s wait and watch as my adjusted lease payment topic goes TMC-viral...

No waiting for the YouTuber to send me a clip

Went by Tesla yesterday because its close to my business, walked around for about 15 minutes... Not a single SA even made eye contact with me. Havent heard from my SA in 4/5 months now. I know this is just how Tesla works, but man... If my employees didnt help customers i think id have a purge of said employees lol.

OK, brain trust, between screen refreshes, take a look at these two pics and tell me what you you think this is for. There is panel below the diffuser on the vehicle centerline. Removing it shows....nothing. Possible plans for a hitch receiver?

You have a good point but I have a feeling Tesla is not going to work it out that way lol
Edit: maybe better to buy the car

Omar,

When you have time can you measure the rear hip room? Tesla says 50.3 inches in the manual but I'm wondering how nearly 4 inches got shaved from the previous Model S (54.7 inches), especially since the refresh model S is nearly 1 inch wider. Thanks!

Though you had signed the lease, there's a start date for lease which is typically the day when you collect the car. Leasing company may have the right to change the lease rate based on market conditions or your monthly payment based subject to vehicle cost. I don't think Leasing company would like to take a hit... You are lucky if they are able to maintain even the same monthly payment.

Good Morning! Still stuck on "August" here...

 

[Bitjockey]

August, Toronto, June 10 morning order before the price jump, thanks to alerts from our southern friends the night before

 

[Spiegels]

Well not exactly a refresh Model S in the driveway but was excited to get this today! Install happening later this month.

Don’t forget to use IRS form 8911 to receive $150 tax credit on next years federal return.

I vote ANC discussion for “off topic thread of the year”.

I vote for the back-in vs front end in parking segue a few hundred posts back.

 

[omarsultan]

OK, I have to admit I am losing track of the open questions, so.....one more spreadsheet . Add you question and TMC ID and I'll post the answers back here and tag you. As I said, most of the questions are good and make me curious about the answers too, so I don't mind doing this. My only ask is to keep this this thread--if a question does not have a TMC username, I will ignore it:
