More details about build quality on your recent 2022 deliveries, please!

I wouldn’t expect a discrete change one day to the next. They didn’t shut the line down, retool and start fresh when they changed to ‘22 VINs.

 

[josahua]

congrats on your upcoming delivery. Ours is supposed to be delivered to SLC though haven’t had a EDD for months. Do you know if the cars are trucked or trained to SLC?

I am not sure. When I picked up my 3, I didnt see a car carrier but they do the pickup at their office in Draper and at the showroom.

@lbowroom Production 101 - “Learning curve” improvements from July to January, rate increase vs steady state production and staffing, etc. These things bring quality improvements not associated with QC inspections, retooling , etc.

So wait a minute? How can a bot be cognizant of butt grease? And what would the proper weight of butt grease be?

The proper question is,
What is the Kinematic Viscosity of butt grease?

Beauty is beauty. Angles or curves. Is it possible to appreciate both geometric designs?

Was that @KZ-CLT? I thought she had some equipment installed.

Yep! @KZ-CLT ! Help. Me!
I really liked your install and want to get the same. Also assuming you’ve gotten no fuzz stopping you yet! Right?

I know it is hard to wait, but there are battery day folks going on over a year. Not that this will happen to you, but why the rush?

Let's say you get the car more or less the last week of Dec. All is perfect, except for crowds, and getting the bums rush to accept the car. You miss one thing, and the SvC is booked out a month.

Wouldn't it be better to wait a bit, and be ensured of a '22 car? Maybe even one without missing floor mats and such...hate to use a car in the winter there without mats...

These are all very good points and very good reasons to wait. Let me respond this way. Too much of my life has been spent on waiting obsessing about “getting the vin”. I want all the things everyone wants and no, i don’t need them yesterday. It really only comes down to a system that is still in its infancy, ordering a car from a faceless entity. How we are being treated is only happening because or the FOMO and seeing something that was once so unique and so special now to be had by what appear to be every other lane on the street.
I love driving and I love being on the cutting edge — however — I waited patiently since 2010 for things to work themselves out. It’s now 2021 and soon 2022 and I find myself still waiting. Pandemics, supply chain issues, worker and industry ethics as well as every day real problems that are much more important are not the areas of frustration. My frustration is my own and it is not anyone else’s fault or problem. I want my car and I will wait as long as I can. I know those things for sure.
The next month is about immersing myself into family and that will be much nicer than any 0-60 time ever recorded. People. The only problem with real life is there is no such thing as regenerative living. No matter how much you try to recoup stepping on the brakes or other peoples lives only makes you older and grumpier and worse off.

There's no eating in my car. Period. My wife's, that's another matter. The Tesla interiors are pretty stain adverse. She spilt Indian spice all over her white seats. Yes, that yellow stuff that makes a mess. A little bit of baking soda and wipes....no signs of it ever happening.

Kept your cool. Ice cream. Nice.

As a young adult I want this car to be taken care of. I made so many dumb mistakes on my model 3 and I really want to take care of my Model S this time. Especially for the price point

My EDD for the MS changed to January 15-February 12. I’m being punished for refusing to take the lot lizard May-built car last month.

I’m not upset in the least, as I have the new MY to play with and get reacquainted with the Tesla interface.

My Plaid order is also 1/10/22-2/7/22, @Ormond

My wife asked me what I thought of an ottoman she ordered online. I told her I thought it was a little weird ordering furniture without seeing it in person. She said to me “Well you ordered a 100K car without actually seeing it in person.”

Touché.

I get it. Since I ordered the MS, my wife’s been shopping on Free People like a kid in a candy store lol. She used the same reasoning.

Sounds like I need to burn down my house and build a new one
