Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[EndlessPlaid]

How does this lady always get updates before i do?

Well, I believe her proximity to Fremont has something to do with it. Region is always a big factor in these update rollouts.

My understanding is the $2,000 rebate for FSD only applies to those that placed an order before FSD went to $10,000. Their orders were placed at a time when FSD was $8,000 and they are now switching configurations to take delivery. The rebate should not apply to a fresh order.

Got it, thanks for the quick reply.

awesome @MarcG, will be interested to see what you think with a high % SOC.

Ok I finally got TesLAX to play nice with CANserver (thanks to @omarsultan again!) and just went out for a quick run (quite literally quick).

Butt dyno says I’m very traction-limited until 30-40mph, most likely due to less sticky rubber on the 19s, then I literally feel the car pulling a fair bit harder, and it keeps going.. and going.. I did not have it in drag strip mode or cheetah launch.

TesLAX/CANserver isn’t as accurate as Dragy (e.g. 0-60mph and 0-100km/h numbers are the same, which we know shouldn’t be the case) but here goes nonetheless:

Tbh, this is almost exactly what I was expecting; maybe a 2.2 to 2.4 on a better surface with a more accurate measurement, in full DS Mode. These tires, although summer, seem to be geared more towards AS. The 0-100 mph time is quite good though. Pulls strong after the traction limits.

Anyone driven both a Model S plaid and a Model 3 performance? How different does the acceleration feel? Also, Model S plaid Vs raven acceleration feeling?

A colorful explanation would be appreciated.

@Tex EV had a Model 3 P, refresh Model S LR and a refreshed Model S Plaid. His Plaid delivery here goes into some details.

Finally have a delivery appointment for Monday at 5:30 pm. Will be at the SC tomorrow to look over at least the exterior of the car (car dealerships in Indiana are closed on Sundays per state statute).

For my Texas folks. Way different experience this time with Tesla financing. Everything is done while the vehicle is in transit.

So I found out it is only different (the way you described) if you finance through Tesla. If you still do outside financing, it is the same as the old way - paid fully in advance before leaving Fremont.

0-100 mph in 4.4 s is still pretty awesome even with the tire slip. Sounds like car feels stronger to you.

Yes, always has been on Advanced.

Mine got ”stuck” at 1%. I put in a service request though the app and the next day Tesla service pushed the new update through.

 

[cwanja]

A bit off topic…dropped car off for detailing and can’t get status on the App. I get a “vehicle connection error” …see attached. Was looking forward to keeping an eye on it like @AnselmDante. I googled the issue but only found two possible solutions…reboot and be within Bluetooth range, neither of which help me, since I’m out of state for a few days. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Possibly could be that the shop building is killing the cellular connection to the car. Metal roof, metal parts, etc.

Hello,
I have a Model S Plaid on order (since last year, battery day), and I will be taking delivery in about 10 days.
I know I've read about a $2000 rebate (possibly on FSD), and Free Supercharger use for the buyer and a buddy.

Can someone please let me know if I am correct on either of these items so that I can remind my SA that these need to be addressed?

I do appreciate the lists of things to look for at delivery.

Searching for "Rebates" in the forum don't tell me what I need to know.

Thanks in advance.

Description
Model S
Model S Plaid
Midnight Silver Metallic
19" Tempest Wheels
Full Self-Driving Capability
Autopilot
Pay-as-you-go Supercharging
All Black Premium Interior with Carbon Fiber Décor
Yoke Steering

“free supercharger use for you and a buddy”—you’re referring to the 1000 miles credit if you use a referral code, right?

 

[cwanja]

For those who have received ANY OtAs, do you recall how long it was (after delivery) that you received your first update? I'm going on three weeks with no updates and am still on 2021.12.4.9....

Edit: Yes, "Advanced" is the selected setting, and has been since driving it off the lot!

Going to ask an obvious question - but are you on WiFi?

TesLax sounds like a terrible product name when you need to take a dump.

 

[omarsultan]

Undoubtedly. But if you're getting the car tinted and wrapped anyway, why not go for a tint on top to obviate the need for a kinda janky insert? (Honest question.)

No reason other than cost, I guess.

Well my RN11395XXXX which had recently gone from February of 2022 to October of 2021 now has no EDD.

The good news is I saw four plaids today at the SC and they all had papers in the rear window that said "BEST FIT" do not adjust. The hoods looked much better so maybe Tesla has finally decided to fix that obvious problem.

My drone could possibly reach Fremont from my house, i live that close. I should be getting it too

 

[sflgator]

How many times must we be reminded to take political discussion elsewhere?

True. Okay, I'm done. LOL. So back to the regular thread discussions...my Tesla account still says Est Delivery: Sept 20-30, 2021!

 

[StiTChEs37]

In other news… my EDD tightened up a bit and is now 12-Sep - 22-Sep. (details in sig) For the first time is in a 10-day range.

Crossing all my fingers and toes that this means its fairly likely to be delivered in September!


EDIT: I know it’s technically an 11 day window… but since this is the first time it’s less than 2 weeks… and because 10 sounds better… I’m calling it 10…

@sflgator, this will put a smile on your face. maybe?
