Yeah. I’m not even all that hung up on the CF *if* the dark wood is dark enough.You had everything right except for the CF, hence, the delay
(Of course, I say that, but I have custom CF license plate frames and a CF-looking fob holder.)

That’s amazing, congrats on ordering with 21s.. I’ve been waiting since Sept 2020.. I replaced initial order with regular plaid order in March, then started a new order in late May because the site showed June. That didn’t work out so well.

I wish cream had a dark wood trim option.
mine was instantaneous. I leased from Tesla had a second order for a loan. Edocs were instant.
LOL, yes we must look within. Think what we may (and I'm really not defending Tesla here, a forum) FB groups, Reddit...none of our data is empirical. Meaning it is absolutely possible that Tesla monitors the threshold of a CS investment vs the ROI on that investment. There's a LOT of people out there buying Tesla's that are not on this forum.
Furthermore, I've had no better experience than Tesla with any other brand, including MB, BMW, McLaren, and many others (Porsche actually went WAY above and beyond for me once). Therefore I'm hugely in the minority in this group. Or, it may be the case that I'm not in the minority at all and many people have a similar experience. Or it can be as simple as Tesla CS sucks and will bite them in the butt down the road. But I suspect there's more behind the scenes than we know.
I don't really know because I don't have the data. All I'm saying is that nobody here actually knows based on empirical data. Frankly, I've had 3 excellent purchasing experiences with Tesla in 8 months and would rank those experiences at or above any with the brands I've mentioned above.
There are some obvious Model 3 advantages to older S. Charging at 250kw is a big deal.. better heat management for track use etc.

I'm wondering - I think and it has been widely said, that Tesla is trying to max out revenue for Q2 - but then why are they shipping outside of California, to the east coast, etc.? If they were REALLY trying to get the most cars into hands as quickly as possible, wouldn't they ship to CA only, then neighboring states, and lastly, if they had cars that didn't match what was ordered, push further out?
I'm wondering if there is indeed still a shortage of parts - tons of cars at the lots, but also, maybe they're using distant logistics (trucking companies) to help show they are making deliveries, but avoid revealing they are not getting as many cars to SCs as they could if there weren't shortages?
I don't know what is involved in getting the cars on the trains, which I think are the usual shipping methods (I think I read cheaper, less damage, etc.) - so if they had a backlog of cars to move out, yeah, train, truck, carrier pigeon, whatever - but with a truck transport - how many can you get on one of those - 10? 8? so maybe they ship the "max" amount of cars on transports they can - say 200 at a time with all the trucks, versus train cars that could hold how many cars - 40 each? more?
Let's say a truck can carry 10 cars (whether S, 3, or a combination - and let's say from CA to NY takes what, 5 days? longer? and then do they get that trailer back, or do they have constantly rotating drivers and trailers? I have no idea, but if SAME truck trailer, that would be then what, another 5 days (empty) - so roughly 10 cars in 10 days. maybe less cars in more days.
That could help explain/justify a bottleneck, versus parts shortages. I think we're beyond issues and tweaks slowing things down, but I think I read the 19" wheels aren't even being mass produced yet?
just wondering. Not saying conspiracy, but saying if I was responsible with maximizing number of cars sold/delivered, I'd minimize the shipping.

Draggy too.
God bless, your frustration is very legit.
It wouldn't bother me to take delivery in Orlando, Gainesville, or Georgia...i wouldn't care. Problem is, i literally have no one to talk to. I haven't heard from Tesla since maybe February? I tried texting local SA and no surprise, zero response.
Wpb, Dania, Miami....i have to think those 3 centers deliver an enormous amount of vehicles. Surprising to see the lack of love

Add Boca to the list; I believe I'm supposed to take delivery in Boca Raton but can't remember if I chose Boca or WPB. And no, I don't have a VIN yet...likely Aug delivery. Ugh. But yeah, I agree with you although it's already been reported that Tesla WPB already received several Plaids that were already delivered.

FYI, Jay Leno got his MS Plaid; no white interior or CF though (but perhaps he wanted exactly what he got?), lol. 
... Jay Leno Bought A Tesla Model S Plaid & He's Showing It Off
... Jay Leno Bought A Tesla Model S Plaid & He's Showing It Offnot sure......I think a nice EOQ flyover by @gabeincal showing dozens of carriers loaded with our cars would help some of us who ordered before February!
