Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[jrr6415sun]

The only way out of this is to reject the car.

Most cars do not have significant defects. So eventually, even if you have to reorder, you will get a car to your liking

Remember, "The best service is no service"

he already accepted the car.

My car had paint scratches and was filthy from sitting in the parking lot where they deliver the cars and had a huge panel gap and they agreed to fix it and rebuff my car. My appointment isn't until next week but my estimated repair says $0. Maybe they just haven't notified me that it's not covered but the guy at delivery told me they would do it for free.

My reply was inform others that it is better to reject the car than hope Tesla will make it right in the future.

Near 60 Model S in inventory in SoCal. Delivery times are near an all time low, weeks, not many months.

Interesting that while new inventory is high, the used refresh model S inventory in SoCal has been zero recently.

Buying used with USS and Radar seems to be the right choice for some.

I'm not exactly sanguine about AP4, HW4, or Tesla vision...

yea I just got my model S and parking is a pain in the ass without USS. Especially cause the S is such a large car. I had a model S 2020 that got totaled and I wish I still had it.

not working rhigt now with AP 4.0

there are cameras that show the space around me, but there is no beeping if you get close to an object like almost every other car in the world will do.

I also see that there isn’t a distance countdown, i.e. 24", 15" etc.

This and the missing steering wheel levers are the reasons I canceled my 2023 order and kept my 2018. $250 is a small price to pay.

I love it whenever someone uses “sanguine” in a sentence. It really should have been the new Tesla red: Sanguine Red !

Sadly, many quality questions remain with Fremont production; pray tell--how well was it assembled?

EVERY one of the 22 MS's we or other family/friends have owned (five thus far) has had the acoustic pad falling out (or not even affixed) at the rear wall of the front fenders. Next time you open the frunk, would you mind flashing a light in there to advise if Fremont ever fixed this chronic issue?

They are about 2 or 3 feet tall, and should be flush against the aft wall of each front fender, directly forward of the front doors seam, but can only be seen with a flashlight when the frunk is open. If not properly affixed, they'll flop around which both makes even more noise and potentially damages the repeater and camera wiring--please make a warranty claim as then Tesla might finally address the root cause of the problem . . . .

Thanks!

Even harder to ignore when there is a MB 560 parked next to the MS in the garage.

A car cover helps I found...until I noticed the cover has flaws too...

what do I need to buy to take off the front license plate?

what do I need to buy to take off the front license plate?

Assume you mean the support for the plate. Nothing really needed. Attached with 3M UHB foam tape. Waxed dental floss if you want to cut through it, goo gone or IPA for residue.

I find rolling it off is best. Gloves can help.

Technique is helpful, search TMC for hints.

@GregTexas I agree with you on the USS and radar, as the alternative Teslavision has not been made available, so who knows what will be the better solution in the end. Will tell you though that after driving the car for about 3 weeks, I am not missing the stalks. At all. I had not expected to be saying that...

Same here about the stalks. I do wish I could adjust the fan speed without opening the climate screen. They should add a +/- section next to the temperature setting on the bottom of the screen
