Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[HFh]

As a member of the December Long Range Orders Crew, one may think that I've spent the last 8 months thinking about a name for my Tesla. Alas... I haven't put much thought into this. Living the continued state of optimism that I endure for some reason, I am hopeful that before August 15th I will be sitting in my Long Range at a charging station doing what I'm meant to in the car: Playing the Witcher 3. All that said, what's everyone naming their cars? I can't seem to land on anything I absolutely LOVE and I'm sure one of you is far more creative than I!

Off topic, and I sort of hesitate to post this here, but;

I've had my refresh LR MS for a few weeks now. It's great, I love it. I've had a few issues here and there - keys not working (key card always did), can't set up phone key (no idea why), some under body panels hanging down (they push closed), and the center console door not staying in the open position - not big deal stuff. The car is beautiful and I'm loving it.

Until today.

Piled both my kids inside to take them to day camp. Doors opened fine (so one of the keys in my pocket must have been working today).

Got behind the wheel. Kids yelling "Netflix isn't working!" (They love it when I take them, obviously).

Wasn't just Netflix. The screen started flashing at me. Very screwy, something definitely wrong. Car didn't present reverse option (as it usually does, guesses direction, you hit the brake, you go) - didn't even give me the option to manually select forward or reverse.

I hit the menu system to see what was up. It opened fine, but I had several errors on dash screen. (emergency brake, traction, etc). Tried a soft reset.

Btw, soft reset much faster on the refresh, which is nice.

Car came back up. Problems persisted. But I needed to get the kids to camp, so I hit menu and the drive selector appeared at the left of the screen, and putting car into reverse worked. But no power steering. Turning this car at low speeds with a yoke and no steering assist is no yoke.

GPS down. Autopilot viz down. No regen. The car rolled as though in N when I took foot off the pedal. No auto hold. I've never used the brake nearly this much in a Tesla. It was freaky. And going around corners was crazy too. No stabilization, and the car wanted to swing super wide. Made me appreciate how much tech goes into the usual ride, when systems are actually working.

Error lights stayed on the whole time. Dropped the kids and called roadside. They had me power off from the menu system and wait 2 min. No dice.

I drove it in to service. They apologized, said they'd never seen these issues but it's not surprising given how new it is, and said it might be a wire or something. They found my an old MX loaner set to valet mode and told me to hang onto it for awhile.

Hope they can work out these kinks now and nobody else has to go through this. I tried to pull a K (3 point) turn while this was going on. Took 4 points to get there.

Not trying to give you grief, but this really isn't the place for this kind of post. It'll get lost in a sea of posts about why Tesla can't deliver our cars in a timely fashion. Highly recommend posting in this thread.

Hmm. This sounds concerning - will have to go check for it. Please keep us posted! I did some of my own investigating. I found some of the plastic under the frunk was not snapped in place. that didn't fix it. I found that if you push on the bumper on that side it squeaks against the front...

Since you no longer have an estimated delivery date, you have plenty of time to read old post. But since you are so surprised by the missing delivery date …. Here is what you would have realized if you did.

The estimated delivery date changes all the time, sometimes hourly. The drunken blind monkey is responsible for updating the EDD. So I wouldn’t worry about it. You will go insane trying to cipher if having or not having a date is a good thing. I know from first hand knowledge. You might experience the 7 signs of grief while waiting on your new car. Most of us have experienced both and some have repeated the ups and downs of emotion. The only thing that is real is getting a VIN, a message asking for money and a date and time to pick up your new car. Just remember we are here for you until that happens.

There is no obvious plan for deliveries. A very few lucky people waited for a few weeks and there are some who ordered about a year ago. Seems that the 19” wheels and/or white interior are delaying deliveries. But delivery location, model, and options are randomly manufactured and from there it is a roll of the dice if you are the chosen ones to receive a vehicle.

Tesla makes it very easy to order but does not communicate with us consumers about our reservation. Hang in there, everyone that receives their car says it is worth the wait. Someday you will be posting how great your Model S is!!

I just wanna point out that after several months, after waiting on a VIN, after waiting on a delivery date, after waiting on my advisor to actually talk to me, after ceaselessly, endlessly checking my account page, it finally happened......I actually, FINALLY replied to post #52,451 before @2021plaid. My life is complete. That is all.

Some 50% tint would look great…

It is going in for 20% tomorrow. Need darker for all of my drug dealing activities.

Yup. Sums up pretty perfectly.

You forgot about all the fun at the beginning. Factory permits, speculation, two weeks till production starts (in Feb), FSD beta button, delivery holds now happening, flyovers for just a peak, SAs giving no information more than what you can see on the website, multiple credit checks, cars sold based on early delivery dates, ohhh the roller coaster Tesla has taken peeps.

It had you rolling? What about ME lol?!

Lmfao both. I do say you like like a maniac for sure. I feel sometimes like you have a bot just constantly watching for a new post. Like. Like. Must like. Quick.

But it was about @DWtsn posting before you and screenshoting it that had me rolling.

 

[doubleshot]

See. Like just now. Dang.


Edit: I'm posting too much now, messing up my likes to posts ratio. Like it matters (though I hear the more likes you have the faster you get your car, or how many likes you've given, even faster)
