Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[lolachampcar]

Oh bless your heart. I was speaking of GA. What you did was what legends and super heroes are made of. And thank you!

and being a southern boy myself, bless yours.......
That is GA . No legends or super heroes needed.

Exactly. I'm actually a fan of the Air, and I think that Lucid has really good technology, but what was NOT cool was comparing those two. The Air at 80k is RWD, and not nearly as fast, for like 1 more mile of range.

Yeah I am not a fanboy looking to find fault, but saying a $170k car is going to give the LR a run is just silly.

You only MAKE $$ when you sell, so...have you actually sold TSLA and cashed out some? If so, you got some big capital gains tax, no? Nothing wrong with it either way but just saying. If not, then it's just $$ in your investment account and may likely just stay there and be passed on to your children (assuming you have kids) as part of their inheritance. I mean, I think it's funny when people are like "yeah, I've made soooooo much money on TSLA that I basically bought a new $100k+ Tesla for free" or whatever when poor schlumps like me just pay for mine with cash without selling any stock whatsoever.

or even better (for some) who didnt sell their TSLA, put the cash they could have paid for their refresh in more stock, then used high credit rating to get loan for the refresh under 2%..

OMG OMG OMG... Plaid white seats and CF w/ 19"

@sflgator

 

[cwanja]

so some of the inventory S's were 100% confirmed to have had white interiors?

Yes, definitely. Many of them we saw in the flyover videos.

Think @2101Guy was referring to the Tesla inventory release from yesterday? Not the flyovers. I was late to the party, so I never saw any.

Wow, logged in this morning just to double-check everything was in order on my end (I'm a bit paranoid) and was surprised to see the original estimated delivery date of March 2022 pulled waaaay forward to October 30 - November 19!

RN1154, Order modified (I switched from black interior to white) on 8/8/21 - Black/White/CF/21's Plaid

This makes no sense. I'm RN1153 with the exact same config and mine updated to December-Jan this morning

Do not care for the car but absolutely love the range push this will give Tesla to deliver on that 520 mile plus Plaid+ order I originally had.

Agree re. Range. That and carbon motors was why I ordered + originally. Glad that Lucid is coming out with a quality product but FSD and charging network are distinctive advantages for me. The charging network may open up which will dilute that advantage but I have confidence that FSD is years ahead of others.

what was the EDD showing before that?

Nice article. IMO, the Lucid is likely to be the best engineered EV on the road when or if it ever comes out. They focused on the things people care about, versus slap some *sugar* together with iffy QC so people on YouTube can talk about how fast it is.

However, I hate the look of the interior and exterior rear. Screams old rich man. No sex appeal at all.

Also, I applaud rivian for allowing paying customers to be the first to drive the car, like Tesla, versus journalists for marketing.

I still hold this thought: lucid is a better product than the model s engineering wise but will fail because of the Tesla cult. Rivian offers a new path to EVs, with tons of money from people who also know what they are doing. They will be around a while (but will be bought).

Agreed on what's going to happen to Rivian. Respectfully disagree that Lucid will fail because of the "Tesla cult". Every brand has their crazy fans (AHEM corvette), but that wouldn't kill Lucid. Lucid's going to have a cult of their own. And they're not even trying to compete with Tesla. There's no chance. By the time Lucid reaches the 25k pricing (if they want to) Tesla will be wayyy too far ahead. Additionally, they are very clearly trying to be a luxury brand first. Not transition the world to sustainable energy, but transitioning luxury to sustainable energy. Completely different missions and targets.

Also, I have to disagree with your notion that the Lucid is engineered better. I think there are plusses and minuses to both, and both come out to be even. Yeah the Lucid has more power, but can't use that power as efficiently. 144-146 trap vs. 153 for the Plaid, even with almost 100 more hp. The Plaid is a master at holding power. The Lucid is quite a bit heavier as well. The Plaid is like a scalpel in performance. Additionally, the 924 volt architecture is awesome, but I doubt that they will be able to use the 400 volt Tesla Superchargers, even if they're open to manufacturers, unless there was some type of adapter.

I'll leave off with this: while the Lucid is an awesome car, and as a fan of the brand, I'm excited for them, it's VERY important to remember that things for this small company can go really well, or really bad really fast. Even as a LCID investor, I have to acknowledge that fact. Tesla is an experienced EV manufacturer with the chargers and knowledge to back it up.

First it was August, then February, now Dec 12 - Jan 1

Disagree. Their entire customer base are going to be disillusioned Tesla buyers. That's it. Not enough. Tesla was lightning in a bottle.

 

[Bill Price]

Too late, she got jealous I got my PPL and wants to get hers too.. and she makes more than me, so I’m the lucky one here

Oh, and no sister but a brother. Maybe you could consider swinging that way? We do live in San Francisco

A double swinging door? Next you'll tell me he's double hung?

We'll have to see. Nothing wrong with some difference of opinion, eh?

 

[Bill Price]

I told you back in May....NO tilting screen for you

Screen Nazi!

 

[umair239]

Do you guys think Tesla has started to ramp up production?

As long as you don't get white interior or CF then yes, but overall, Nope! The inventory cars were from the bastard lot back in May

 

[Bill Price]

Or boats

LMAO........Boat? Break Out Another Thousand?

 

[Tigers]

Screen Nazi!

We better get a tilting screen or I'm suing Tesla with @eipi10

Do not care for the car but absolutely love the range push this will give Tesla to deliver on that 520 mile plus Plaid+ order I originally had.

You and me both, brother. I'm still holding out until next year in hopes the 4680's will bring that to fruition.

 

[Jokergod2000]

Damn, order moved from August 24 - September 09 to August 30 - September 18 today. I was expecting it since yesterday was not a delivery option any more but I would rather get an accurate date one month out than screw around moving dates every day/week. When I ordered my Audi it took 6 months to get it and they hit the date +/- a few days.

 

[Tigers]

Here you go @2021plaid - here's a Tesla fanboy review of it. Love how he thinks Tesla is selling him a vehicle actually capable of FSD and that "meh, 100 miles more of range? Who needs that?"
