Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[TrevTremaine]

I'm waiting for someone to ask Gabeincal to start daily drone reports and to zoom into the VINs so that people can see when their cars get loaded onto carriers. That's going to be a full time job!

After the cancelled pre-refresh orders, the February manufacture time moving to March April May June, and the price/rim/range changes, I would say until we see 1000 cars per week, it's safe to assume it will not happen on schedule.

I completely agree. My point is simply that they’re actually making cars now and 4 months is a long time. October doesn’t make any sense. August, September AND October? Sure, but not nothing till October. That’s not realistic even by Tesla standards.

I'm starting to think white interiors are more of the holdup now.

And red paint.

If you are not the lead dog, the view never changes.

Just remember, going into business means you are trading one boss for many. However many clients/customers you have, each one thinks they should be the most important. It’s great
having a business but brings a lot of stress at time(depending on the type of business of course).

I don’t understand why they don’t realize that I am their most important customer.

So I have a black MS plaid with carbon fiber that was ordered in February. I’ve had every possible delivery date and now it’s blank. I wasn’t aware of the carbon fiber backlog until after they raised the price. Is there any update on this? Are they letting you switch to wood without raising the price? Has anybody gotten a carbon fiber interior in plaid yet??? Sorry if this has been answered already but it’s hard to scroll through pages and pages

 

[Aaaaaaa!]

Got an email this morning. Also appeared on my order page. Delivery scheduled for Sunday at 10am. San Diego area.

Nice! Thanks!

Please add RN# and spec when you post updates everyone. Or add to your sig. doesn’t help the broader group when we don’t know those details. Thank you.

Mine has been in my signature for a while now.

Was driving north on i5 just past the Tejon Ranch supercharger, saw a semi hauling teslas. One of the cars was a model s!

My delivery date is this Sunday at 10am in the San Diego area (Carlsbad) Plaid MSM, 21 inch, cream/walnut, FSD. Wire transfer in progress and getting set for the big day. Very excited.

Congrats! That's awesome. Have there been any deliveries since the 10th? Maybe you'll be the first one.

Not sure but the SA said I would be first in their shop. He was almost as excited as I was.

MY SA from Santa Monica just called and let me know my car should be delivered by EOM. No VIN, no other details, but she did say she's pretty confident it will happen by then. Home delivery too, that's first for me with Tesla.
Blue, FSD, 19's, wood, Plaid.

The consensus from this thread and others reaching out to SAs is yes - a change to the interior would trigger the price increase.

To your other question, I recall there being one (or two) members who had carbon fiber interiors who got a VIN.

This this this. While the everyday driver will get used to the yoke, my wife or son will have to use the car won't. My wife thinks it's crazy "who reinvents a wheel?" I mean, that a good point.

Ooh, a great headline: "Tesla attempts to reinvent the wheel."

 

[dfinn1]

Email saying that my order was ready for final payment.

Saw on my account page. My S\A hadn't been informed yet but she was really excited

 

[Maximus023]

Just received a text from Tesla and not the SA who reached out to me when I first placed my order.

Can you provide your Order details Especially helpful if you will add it to your profile as well

Course, and I’ll add it to my profile as soon as I have posted enough times (so thanks for the opportunity!).

I have had a few different orders in place over the last several months, including an MX LR order currently noted as a November delivery, which I will cancel.

I placed an MS Plaid order (MSM, black/ebony, FSD, 21”) on June 12 after the launch day excitement. It showed as a June delivery when I ordered and that stuck until last night when the VIN appeared and the site changed to June 18-21 for about 20 min and then settled in at June 21-27. My SA says it’s currently tracking toward a June 24 delivery.

Nice! Another CF with EOM delivery. And red exterior. So maybe CF and red paint is not the issue, but they are overshooting the design studio due to estimated part shortage / number of orders. Which does not look well for LR orders (cough myself).

The mystery remains about white interior though.

 

[jleonk]

For those of you who have received VINs. How were you informed? Was it by text, email, phone? Or did it just magically appear in your order page?

It magically appeared on the site after 1am ET last night. (Refresh refresh refresh.) I actually notified my SA about it when I saw it.

 

[jleonk]

Stupid question - how are you getting to an SA? I've ordered online (2nd time). Last time I got in inside delivery advisor - but not until after the VIN was updated. I'd like to try and get some "inside info" to help navigate planning.

I have test driven several times and the guy who helped me with those stayed in touch via text and email. So I just email and text with him. Very responsive guy.
