Wiki Model S Delivery Update

The next step install the cage and steel doors with a biometric password to stop customers from facing with SAs

Ya know
The FAA started doing that with their FSDOs. The first time I went through the security I asked the rep I was meeting if perhaps they were doing something wrong to need so much protection from the public. The rest of the meeting did not go so well; that's what I get for having a big mouth.

I have to give a shout out to Tesla’s web engineers and data scientists. They’ve created the perfect algorithm for date range based EDDs. While looking at my last few days and @AnselmDante’s breakdown of his dates, I think I’ve deduced a fraction of their brilliance:

Tomorrow’s EDD Smart AI Calculator
(Current Start + 1) — (Current Range Difference + 1)

Now, this may look simple, but therein lies the brilliance! Let’s try it:
8/1 - 8/8
8/2 - 8/10
8/3 - 8/11
8/4 - 8/13
8/5 - 8/15
…
8/30 - 8/84/2067

It’s genius! I can’t imagine how many customers they’ve helped with this and just how much data was needed to even create such a masterpiece in the first place.

I’ll see you tomorrow, 8/4 - 8/15 estimated delivery date

Have you cancelled and asked for a refund? Did they decline refunding? Have they missed the October date yet?

Good questions... I started by asking what's the real "current estimate" of two chat session agents. They say, "Sept/Oct" to WA. I remind them of the less than 24 hour history of my order and current status. They redirected me to my "Delivery Advisor," which I wasn't provided yet... Then, they directed me to the Order advisor, which I had already reached out to and haven't heard back from yet. I also reached out to the delivery SC and they haven't yet opened here. So, I'm still in the "trying to understand" mode, before making a decision.

My thought is that they won’t be in “breach” of that estimate until the end of October. Come back then and we’ll talk.

In an email exchange with the SA that called me to switch to Plaid from + he wrote something like the web site says "estimated". He was trying to explain missing the June delivery (consideration for making the change to Plaid). I told him that was funny as the web site did not call me and offer me a June delivery.

I think corporate passes out talking points for dealing with customers. Things like the web site says estimate and thank you for supporting the mission all sound like canned responses to disappointed customers. Perhaps not, but it seems strange that I've heard almost the exact same words from different customer facing resources.

My question is, why did you have to visit a FSDO in the first place? Did you violate class bravo airspace or something?
(not that I’ve EVER done that myself…)

From one pilot to another: bravo sir! Well done, captain

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I agree the $100 is frivolous, however. My point was Tesla shows one estimate (optimistic) at the point of taking the deposit and reports a much later one (instantly) after taking the deposit. I placed my ordered yesterday... this isn't a case of, "...related to things they can't control..." at all. And, as I said in my original post, they still report the incorrect (optimistic) date today. My concern is more around the active "bait and switch" practice in play here.

I understood your point and I'm not trying to change your thought on this. But no reputable attorney in the country would take this case. I didn't mean the $100 is frivolous (even though it is), I meant any action surrounding this concept is.

 

[Bill Price]

The current price is $129,990

Is that a pun? Current as in amperes?

 

[merlinnot]

Do you guys know if there is any news on European deliveries?

 

[Leodoc]

Haven't seen anyone post this.

Anyone having problems accessing their order page? From the account page, i can access my other Tesla vehicles but when i try to go to my mslr order, it just goes right back to account page.

Just me?

Well, I don't think I ever mentioned, or suggested in my OP, that I was looking to sue anyone or hire a lawyer...

I was reaching out to the community to see what their view of this "business practice" was and what their experiences have been.

Look in your driveway. Maybe they delivered the car already.

I just checked again. New order for plaid shows $124,490 for me?

Joining in the frustration for the Plaid...

Ordered 1/27/2021 Red Model S Plaid 21", White Carbon Fiber Interior - EDD went blank a month ago, no EDD - Got the originial $120K price
Ordered 7/22/2021 White Model S Plaid 19", Black/Black Wood interior - Ordered this for fastest delivery, was showing July, then EDD went blank
Ordered 6/10/2021 White Model X Plaid 20" white carbon fiber interior - Needed to put in order after the dates keep slipping so I have a place in line. Just started showing Jan 2022 EDD.
Ordered 7/31/2021 White Model S Plaid 21", Black/Black wood to try to move my other order along after I read the 19" are on hold... When ordered the estimate was Sept/Oct, now this is the only order that shows EDD of Jan 2022.

I currently Have a 2020 Model X P100D Raven model and a 2020 Model Y Performance

Had the 2013 Model S P85+, 2016 Model X P90DL, 2018 Model 3 Performance.

 

[eddiemoy]

The current price is $124,4 and the price I ordered for back in January was $119,4... Where is everyone getting this $10k price increase from?

you are probably looking at it with the the "Potential savings", slide it over to the "purchase price" and you should be on the same page as everyone else

Not true unless traveling vertically at steady velocity. To be more realistic , one would have to weigh an extra 460 lbs while driving up a 10 deg incline at steady speed to be equivalent to the difference in horizontal accelerations between Plaid and LR.

Fast food order. Out of the Big Mac K make it a 1/4 pounder. Fast food orders are ran better Than our Tesla orders. Better management ?

In contract law, you can not recover for lost expectations, only actual losses. If you sell your car early but the "promise" was "estimated" it would be a tough sell IMO but then I did not make it past ethics in law school.
