Wiki Model S Delivery Update

lol my car has been in "build planning" for weeks. It's meaningless. I'm pretty sure ALL cars go into build "planning" before they're built. I mean, what else could they be doing?! I doubt the Service Advisors have any clue about timing.

technically build planning definition could mean it starts from when you finish your online order ....so you're probably right

not true last week my car was not in build planning it was in limbo.

Tesla is becoming an energy company

Nikola is rolling in his grave

 

[Fntstc_Mr_Fox]

And so this just happened.

Do you think that because some guy in India today told you that the car is NOW in build planning?

Im checking with PennFed today..0.99% loan rate on new cars is advertised. At that rate, Im not paying my S off. Will get 100% of it financed and put that $83k into vanguard funds over the next 5 yrs.

PenFed only offer the 0.99% rate if you are buying new AND use their in-house car buying service, no?

LOL, true. What I meant was "build planning" is a blanket Tesla statement for every minute from order submittal to sitting on production line

How can you find out? SA? someone else? My SA told me last week best place to get info was my account online...which didn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling. thanks!

Tesla is continuously making small improvements so the model year is irrelevant other than giving the perception of being newer if it’s a 2022 vs 2021. However, I have no doubt a Model S built 6 months after mine will be a slightly better car. Most likely I’ll never be able to spot the differences though.

This is absolutely true. Tesla would never downgrade the car to make it cheaper or something because the new MS is actually already cheaper to produce than the pre-refresh, but they will always be making it different in a good way. For example, if you were to take delivery in February of 2022 with Arachnids, it's likely that your could would come with the 200 mph top speed if it was a Plaid, and would likely have panel gaps in check, along with ANC turned on already, possibly Track Mode, and maybe even some power boosts to improve performance.

That's correct.

So I'm going bonkers, flipping out, and looking at the code of the new website account page. Not sure if this is old info:
1) Tesla either has or had or will have their own insurance - here's a copy:

2) There's something called Codan insurance - where you can get up to 30 days of free coverage. That may be a part of the Tesla insurance.

BTW, still nothing for me under vin, EDD, September, or anything else. Womp womp!

SA again some other Canadian owners also mentioned that the cars are actually in build stage so something is going on for us up north. Again i dont believe it untill i have my VIN i am just sharing what was communicated.

That's correct.

…which, for further clarification, you cannot use to purchase a Tesla. So there is no 0.99% offer floating around if anyone was wondering.

So they won’t be removing passenger lumbar support on the Model S?

Seems like they are definitely are working on many changes for the website and their services. For past week we have seen many changes on accounts, my SA and "friends" over chat told me they are trying to do many changes now

We will definatley see a few new things in coming a few days/weeks.

Correct. No idea why we were led down this path to begin with...

I highly doubt it....But just in case, all new owners should use it every day lol!

 

[Bitjockey]

So finally i can share some good news which i just received from my SA. Also he told me on the Phone my car should enter Production this Saturday. This is for Canada so will see if thats true. Currently EDD shows blank.

That's hopeful, but I have 19s. My wife is picking up her new Y this Friday so I will inquire in person then.

 

[AnselmDante]

I thought was SO ridiculous to be honest! It's like little mice playing an instrument, and the mighty window can fend them off!

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
