Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[AMGF]

When was that picture taken ? I ask that question because apparently the 'Elect' tires for the refresh were just released which may have been the cause for the 19" delays. If that pic isn't recent, the PZ4 were probably installed on the 19s since the Elect for Tesla weren't out.. I can't say I'm 100% certain, but 90% the tires that come on the 19s will be the P Zero Elect. Is it possible, some parts of the country will receive the 19s with PZero Pz4 ? Sure, it's possible but I'm sticking with the refresh 19s will not come with PZ4s.

I guess we’ll know for sure when more 19s are delivered. I’d prefer to get mine on PZ4 than Elect.

Y’all taking this car buying process too seriously. I haven’t checked on mine since I’ve ordered… I don’t even remember the password

It said said feb/March delivery estimate so I’ll wait til February and check on it.

The Elect are All Season tires.

Yep, agreed. The Elect wasn’t highlighted earlier, just the PZ4 stamp. There are PZ4s that are summers. That’s also why I rescanned those pictures to show the “Elect” stamp, so others didn’t have the All Season panic!

My EDD is Aug 14-20 so I'll post right here. At this point, I'm fine with either tire. I just want the damn car

Unreal…

I read it as 12 V and 16 A

So your test may be true in your situation, but the point is why force people with white interiors to wait 8 months or pay $10k? White interior means February at earliest, any other interior means could have had the car weeks ago. Tesla should have reached out to configurations that are "delayed" and give option to change colors into a nearly matching car without losing $10k.

There is definitely some gamesmanship going on here, it's not malicious because business is business. But it's still not really fair to early reservation holders.

Because I can make a new reservation today, pay an extra $10k, and have the car in a few weeks. Or save $10k and get it by February 2022 "theoretically".

I also believed there was some intentional behavior on Tesla's part to prioritize higher-priced orders. However, in my config, this did not prove to be the case.

Others are welcome to gamble their $100 to prove or disprove this on their own configs.

There are exactly 60 permutations of the Plaid (5 paint colors * 2 wheel sizes * 3 interior colors * 2 trim options) and 30 permutations of the LR (same except no trim options) in the US, so unless we get tons of people trying this, we won't know for sure.

Data and statistics are a tricky thing to nail down if you have small sample sizes..

Interesting difference in delivery dates. The estimated delivery for the car below say Dec-Jan. Then you pay and after they get your non refundable money your EDD changes to March. I’d call that bait and switch. They got you. See photos of an order I placed tonight.

Quit making so much sense man.

 

[oktane]

who's paying 10k to get a white interior? have you seen a white interior be delivered outside of the one niche case @hotsoup ? I haven't seen many white interiors, i highly doubt that 10k bump in price is going to get you a white interior any faster. something's up w/ it for sure.

I don't think 10k will get you a white interior, but it MAY get you one faster.

10k will allow you to change to a black or cream interior, however, and you WILL get that faster.

DAMMMMMNNNNN YOUR NEW PROFILE PIC!

So do these I saw in Seattle. Says both Elect and has PZ4 stamp

That's interesting... I clearly saw the 'Elect' but I never noticed the little pz4. I'm not sure what to make of the pz4. It's throwing me off a bit.
Are they all season ? Are they summer ? Ughh. The Pzero 'Elect' comes in different versions: summer, winter, and all seasons.

This was from the initial press release: Nov 25, 2020

PIRELLI ELECT: THE TYRE THAT INCREASES AUTONOMY, REDUCES ONBOARD NOISE AND MAXIMISES GRIP

THE TYRE THAT INCREASES AUTONOMY

What does that mean?

Means you can “roll” any way you want to!

Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

When I'm doing around 38-42 mph and slightly press the accelerator I get vibration on the wheel and in the car. It almost feels like you've shifted in 5th gear on an ICE car and its slowly bogging down the motor. Of course if you press harder you don't get the vibration. Wondering if anyone else...

Do any of you notice the issue described in that thread? Sounds not so good.

A few posts down, he said Tesla did a sw update the next day and the vibration was gone .

 

[jebinc]

It happened!

 

[Drew-MS]

What does that mean?

Lol I think they mean increases range 'longevity.'
Edit: The sentence reads a little weird. Also in North America, we spell tire not tyre. Maybe it's a European thing idk.

Correct. In French, range is “autonomie”. So they did a literal translation, possibly from Italian.

don't know that he accomplished much? he took it off but has't actually fully replaced the yoke. Am i missing something?

 

[Scrappy Malloy]

No one is talking about the model year 2121?

Stupid phone!! 2021 refresh. I live in Utah and have Bear River insurance. I don’t think you can get it in another state. But you should definitely look into it if you have a good driving record and live in Utah because it is so much cheaper than anything else!

 

[MarcG]

Yeah the harness wasn’t connected, besides the CAN signals probably need to be translated to be compatible. Also, where will the turn signals and gear selection inputs come from?

I think @rhuber has a good chance of getting his setup working, since he’s using the Model 3 wheel AND stalks.
