Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Laddcruzer]

Completely off topic but I need to say this to everyone waiting for their refreshed cars.

I was/ am disgusted with the way Tesla handles customers, deliveries with no communication possible. My feelings toward Tesla bordered on hatred.

I have owned the car for 3 weeks now. It’s my first ev. EOQ delivery where the guy did not have enough time to go over anything as he had 2 more deliveries to make.

I am absolutely in love with the car, the wall charger and find new stuff everyday that seems unbelievable. In many ways my S seems to be as much about tech as it is automobile.

I will never go bAck to a gasoline car. And I believe no one in The business will catch up to Tesla for at least 5 years. I am so impressed by everything about it. The way it drives, handles, accelerates and the driving software is unbelievable. I have started using cruise control on the freeways (I don’t have FSD). The manner it handles curves on the highway and slows or speeds up as necessary is amazing. I know that when I am taking on a curve in the freeway, the car stays right in the middle of the lane I am driving in much better fashion than if I was manually guiding it through a curve.

Love love love this car to the point I almost forget the way I felt Mistreated for the past 6 months waiting.

Yesterday I had all the windows, roof and windshield with 3m crystalline. I was so happy with the job, I am bringing the car back tomorrow for the full front PPF.

I understand everyone’s frustration with Tesla but that feeling is almost gone and I am just loving my mew S.

Did I mention that I LOVE this car?!!!!’ so happy

Also a first time EV owner and refreshed model S recipient. I absolutely concur with you and your observations. Received my Plaid July 1st after ordering January 30th so my wait was only 5 months. At this point I don’t even think about the time and anxiety that I experienced. They say it’s all about time and money but with this car it’s really about this beautiful vehicle going 0 to 60 in 2 seconds. Which I think I’ve done a few times although my Dragy is giving me some trouble. BTW, at 75 am I the only septuagenarian on this forum?

When this is all over, when SC's have refresh's sitting on the lot, we're going to need a forum thread to replace this one. Something like "The Veterans of the Refresh Release Drama Club"

Yep, ordered my first Tesla so consuming all the info on this forum. Any input for future reference would be appreciated

well I would say welcome, and try not to check your account every 5 mins or less, as it will cause you more headaches than we can all state. however, you will anyway. communication is very lacking during this part of the order. Some SA's are better than others, but they know just about as much as we do. depending on the SA. once you get a VIN assigned to your account, you should receive a email requesting to pay you final balance if you are paying cash or finalize your loan/lease paperwork. some people did not receive this email, and only found out they had a vin by checking the account. if you order a MSLR or MSP with 19in wheels you will be waiting a little for the car, as those cars don't begin delivery until august according to Tesla. currently their is a hold on all deliveries on MS supposedly, or at least the latest one that were built. order numbers don't really mean much. its just stating to Tesla that you ordered something and what you ordered. if they are building that config, for your location you have a higher chance of getting it faster. Also If someone cxl their order and you match it exactly including the DC location you might jump the line even faster. but its really anyone guesses how this works. everyone is great here, minus a few LMAO, however no judgement from me. enjoy.

I'm not sure I'm ready for the disappointment of not coming to this thread every day after the car is delivered. I mean... this place is my rock.

Probably been asked but too many pages to search. I have a NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50 amp in my garage. Have the refreshed S’s delivering with a 20’ charging cable with a few different adapters like a basic 120 and a 14-50? Thanks in advance.

You have buy this. If the link doesn’t populate correctly, select 14-50 in the drop down. Gen 2 NEMA Adapters

just check in from time to time. I did that in the model 3 forums and you will be surprised at how it changed but didn't change at all, and you get to tell everyone about how the wait was compared to now. and that the car is totally worth the wait in the long run.

 

[HumanInput]

Still at July, just like the last 44 days. It'll be worth it .... it'll be worth it ... it'll be something.

I am considering replacing my 21 inch Arachnids with 20 inch forged TSportline TS117’s which according to the manufacturer weigh about 28 pounds per wheel. I know it’s been noted before but what is the weight of the Arachnids?

I think Tesla can't afford to lose you from this thread. Simply to say they will not deliver the car

Anyone here who wasn't a septuagenarian prior to 2021, probably is now!

I wonder if changing the pick-up location will affect the delivery date which is gone since last Friday for me. If it will pop up again, I'll burn down one of Tesla's SC around DDD

What does planning stage actually mean???

Not sure but I got a VIN like the day after.

It's the gift that keeps on giving, all year long.

 

[Aplus2005]

Interesting, lots of 435, a 436 and the 2 431's..... Wonder if they are pulling from the misfit lot?

Now you have me tempted to go look at the SC lot in Tampa. Cuz this isn’t weird at all…lol.

 

[JeffR]

Have you guys seen "Estimated Delivery" line completely gone???? gave me a window before than only the month afterwards. Now the whole line is gone..

What you're seeing is fairly common. Check the Tesla website every few days and you'll eventually see the Estimated Delivery date return.
