Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[greekmikemiami]

Actually not stupid at all. Just practice a few times. I held up the line and set off the alarm my first time until I followed instructions.

I put in carwash mode when I am checking in with the attendant. It will stay on as long as you stay under 10MPH. So pull head to begin slowly. While you are waiting on the rollers, press the brake - the freeroll will be available, Quickly push it and let go of the brake. Easy as that. At the end, lightly tap the brake so you can put it back in drive.

Does it also move the wipers up? When I went to the car wash with the Model X the first thing I did was put the wipers in service mode (Or whatever it was called) so that the wipers also get washed and the windshield under the wipers also get washed, so that debris, like leaves and gunk get washed away. I don't have a garage and live under very active trees that shed all year long.

No, they do not move the wipers. If you put in service mode prior to setting carwash, it would probably stay put.

I go through a brush wash sometimes and would not want the brushes hitting the wipers in service mode. A totally touchless would be ok.

Was at a Service Center the other day and overheard lots of cool insider info that Advisors were telling customers (and potential customers). Some of this may be classified, but I wanted you to know...

• VIN numbers are currently being assigned for MS orders from January 2021
• MS production has been slow, but now that Austin and Berlin are operational, they'll really be cranking them out!
• All MS get the same tires
• Yes, you can get the new headlights with the old tail lights
• There's no reason NOT to add FSD to your order
• Sorry your exterior is blue...they take the longest to get
• Sorry your exterior is red...they take the longest to get
• Sorry your exterior is gray...they take the longest to get

Hope some of this is useful. Just don't tell anyone you heard it from me.

Interesting surprised they are putting the older taillights on

Pretty sure it is all normal SA inaccurate banter.

 

[ryan1220]

Ya our usual reponse we get if we ask: All new deliveries will have the latest technology and version of Model S available to you.

Yes, it was. The amount of BS flying around was astounding. I'm sure the employees manning this SC have been told little by the company and are really tired of getting beaten up by customers demanding answers, but making up sh*t doesn't do Tesla or the customers any service.

Of all the conversations that I overheard, I think the only absolutely correct answer given was "no sir, it doesn't have a gas tank."

However, if you ask enough, you could get them to debate whether it takes regular or premium gas.

Only because they are running out of the new ones I suspect....another thing to check.

I would suggest leaving your order as "Cash" until your car is actually in transit.

After a month and a half of no change to my EDD....they finally updated it. Was May 4th - June 15th, it is now May 31st - July 05th

Looks like the model 3 maybe reverting back to the old non-matrix LED headlights due to a part shortage.

Just when we thought we only had to worry about EDD, now this is at play.

Will be interesting to see if the happens to the Model S.

Honestly at this point I will take two incandescent light bulbs or candles as my headlights if I ever get a VIN

EDD monkey has struck again (6 of 7 times, I have lost count) As predicted at exactly 8am this morning pushed back to 5/13 to 6/1. Tighter time. but that gives me little confidence. OfCourse no VIN. A search for the Model S in the US brings up exactly 3. 2 in Hawaii and one in NJ, all being Plaids.

Mine just got moved from May 21-June 17th , to just "June"
