Any 1153s or older out there still waiting? Midwest blue/cream 19” no FSD been waiting since last July and looks like they are pumping them out. Any ideas in delay? This is getting crazy. SA onsite looked it up and said it was CONCRETE that it was coming in mid to late June. Date was 22 may- 26 June now moved to June 15-July 6. Don’t think I’m missing anything it does show to complete my pre-delivery tasks in Tesla app but nothing shows it needs to be done. Any help or advice or anything I can do?

Found my car (well, my car tomorrow in theory…)
Slight tail light misalignment all present and correct.
Is that your silver one on the left with aero covers?

Haha. That’s my neighbor’s eGolf.
Pretty sure I am the first haha.
I had a Model 3 for a year and a half that I lease transferred. I had my MS LR for 3 months which I sold for the Plaid around the same time as the 3 transfer. This caused the trigger.
I still own a 2020 Model X. So just had to give a lot of proof that I still have the X. showed signed and dated bill of sale that showed no profits. Also had my friend send over a signed statement directly from his Tesla account email saying he is a friend and indeed took over the car.
showed bank statements as well with no profitable sales (proof that i’m not a reseller).
they were really serious about this so I’d highly advise against selling/transferring your cars too soon.
I simply happen to be a very indecisive 26yr old. But i’m keeping my Plaid for atleast a few years now that I know I absolutely prefer the Plaid over the LR
Definitely grateful that they took the time to go through my case.

I too picked up an inventory MS.
CURIOUS: how did you find out it had been repaired/repainted?
The paint looked thicker at the door edges so I asked my PPF guy to check it with a thickness meter. It was essentially double the normal thickness everywhere.
I just picked up a VIN 476. I like how the screen is flush to the dash. Looks sleek. I am not sure if it is that way with the tilt screen as I think it protrudes slightly. I do not think I will miss the tilt at all. If you are in a hurry to get the car sooner than later I would definitely take it. If you are not in a hurry and want to play the waiting game and you can handle not getting the car for possibly months longer would be okay to wait.OK, drove over to the Service Centre and glad I did. After waiting 15 minutes, spoke to someone who couldn't really help me. She said she was new and said she could find someone who has more experience who may be able to help. I said yes please!
I finally spoke to someone who knew what they were talking about - a breath of fresh air given my recent experience with Tesla the past few months. The SA was able to answer all my questions. Here's the skinny:
They had a MS LR in the showroom that was the exact same spec as mine but with no tilt screen and different colour. We sat in it and he reminded me that the screen only tilts 11 degrees. No doubt it would be a nice feature to have but I don't think not having it is something that would bother me when I'm driving.
- The car was manufactured on Apr 14;
- The car is actually on site up the street in their offsite parking lot;
- The car was rejected by another customer because they declared bankruptcy and their financing fell through (this explains the rapid match to my account last night);
- He actually drove to the offsite lot to verify the options on the car for me; I asked him if I could go with him but he said no
- The car is a perfect match as far as my specs go.
- No damage reported on the car and he didn't see any. He said it looked fine other than the fact that it was dirty.
- All season tires, matrix headlights, new tail lights and charge port are all on the car.
- Tilting screen is not
So right now I'm thinking I should take the car. A reminder that in Canada, a luxury tax kicks in for deliveries on Sept 1 or later. I'd be pretty upset if I waited for the tilt screen and didn't get the car until Sept - that decision could cost me another $6,200!
And I'd have the car for the summer - which would be great. Only downside is I haven't sold my old MS yet - was hoping to not be saddled with two cars at the same time but oh well. Maybe selling it now rather than the summer would be better as far as the quantity of interested buyers are concerned.
Thoughts? If I'm missing something please chime in. Otherwise I'm going to schedule pickup for next Thursday
No go on the tilt screen. Yes on the new headlights and tail lights.

I checked out the new tilt-screen today. It sits just as flush as the non-tilt screen (the only difference is the motor is now in the mechanism), - I quite liked it. Certainly not worth waiting months for if you need a new car, but it's definitely sweet.

Might be/might not be. Someone said they got a NF4778XX and it had the tilt screen. If yours is early 477 then... might not. Your SA can tell you.
Does anyone have any data as to how much Tesla is currently offering for a 2021/2022 refresh MSLR trade-in?
Good to know. Thx for verifying. Now I wish I had a tilt screen again

I really wouldn’t sweat that at all. The new lights are a much bigger deal I’d imagine.Good to know. Thx for verifying. Now I wish I had a tilt screen again
$85000 for the 2022 LR
