Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[lzolman]

Just found out about this iPhone app, "Inspect T", providing an inspection checklist such as the ones I've seen posted here in simple text form. FYI.

Inspect T

Also interested in this. Any thoughts, good people of TMC?

My 'collection' of Tesla MS Plaid accessories in my garage includes the new 2021 Tesla MS all-weather floor mats (purchased on the Tesla Shop) & the older 2012-2020 MS all-weather trunk mat (although I've heard it's not a perfect fit but Tesla hasn't created a new one thus far so we'll see if it works or not...I've used trunks mats before that aren't a perfect fit and they're usually good enough). Back in April - May, there was some major confusion about whether or not the older Tesla MS all-weather trunk mats fit the new refresh MS...seems like everyone was wrong and of course, none of the actual Tesla employees had the answers, even after the car came out! Shocker.

I hope they make some basic/slightly extending mud flaps to put on front to help solve for the rock chips on wider rear fenders soon...

Yeah, because it's awesome to get screwed with $5-10k of dealership markup right out of the gate! What great customer service.

Not sure why having the dealership mark it up vs having the actual manufacturer mark a popular vehicle up (in multiple $5k increments) randomly is different, but ok.

Up late, are we Bill?
Heck, it’s not even 10pm on this coast, and I’m already in bed.. must be that 21 y.o. scotch i‘ve been enjoying after dinner.

How do you know she is Scottish?

Sitting here in Atlanta/Decatur getting my 12V battery replaced. Six refreshes on the lot, five LRs, one Plaid if I remember correctly. All 21s. White, red, and black. The black with black interior and dark wood does look gorgeous….

While I’m sitting here, I’m going to ask some pointed questions. Wish me luck.

 

[brunla]

Question : On my new S Long Range when I do hard accelerations or a launch, when it starts to hit about 60 or 70 MPH, the steering gets a little squirrely. I'm forcing it to stay straight and correcting it. The yoke is pulling left and right. I have to slow down since on not on a track so don't know what happens after that. I took it into service and they are saying that is completely "normal". I find it hard to believe that feeling like a car might lose control is something normal. Are they giving me the run around or is there something specific I can tell them that needs to be fixed or looked into?

Bought these from Tesla’s shop. I like them coz they don’t feel cheap. Mind you, they are manufactured by weathertech.

Wow! this white interior is gorgeous! How are the seats? Do they have a higher chance of getting dirt and grime get in the ventilating pores?

I heard what you’d expect. They seem to believe we will see another big rush in September, but mainly there is “no rhyme or reason” to any of the deliveries. I did like the line that “Elon doesn’t really tell us the production schedule.”.

One SA told me some of the Model S have come in with some alignment issues. I'd ask them to look at it.

My Raven had an alignment issue upon delivery. The Tesla logo in the middle was off about 5 to 10 degrees when driving in a straight line. They did an alignment and agreed. Never had acceleration issues. @omarsultan had the same "issue" when he was running it on the track and (if I recall) it was accredited to the road surface. I would still push them for an alignment and ask for the report once it is done.

I mentioned that to him. But he seemed to shrug it off.

The roof mesh shield that tesla sells in their shop. No more heat

I haven’t checked lately, but be sure the roof screen is for a refresh car before ordering. The screen for my 2021 pre-refresh does not fit in my Plaid. It’s too small.

I don't think any accessories for 2021 have been released yet.

She wore a Plaid.

With the price increase, and the seemingly haphazard way Tesla is delivering cars, I'm starting to convince myself Tesla is intentionally putting discounted preorders to the back of the line. They have nothing to lose by treating us this way, but they gain at least $10K per sale for doing it. Those of us that are patient will get our cars when they catch up with demand, and those of us who give up are replaced by preorders with a higher price tag.

This is frustrating.

 

[MarcG]

Another 1% for new evs and another .49 for being a long time customer supposedly.

Nice @akzure ! I only got the 1% EV discount of 2.24% for 48 months and landed at 1.24%.

If you go for 48 months as well, would you be able to hit 0.75%? Or is their floor 0.99%?

Yep, I think we’ve seen many examples of LIFO esp. for orders placed after price increases. “That’s business” I guess, but doesn’t feel great being on this end of the stick. Luckily, the product is really worth the wait, IMHO.

Called my local dealer, my profile shows EDD blank but he says he’s seeing mid Nov-Dec on my order on his end. RN 1147 LR Blue/White/19
