Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[chibi_kurochan]

Picked up my Model S (75D) last week from Fremont and immediately dropped it off at my detailer for Xpel. Just got it back yesterday and snapped a couple quick pics to share since I wasn't able to find any good pics of Pearl White/Ultra White combo.

First post woot!

Congrats!! Great combo like others have said, white on white is stunning..

One side note, not sure how common this is, but from looking at your photo, the front bumper is still slightly off (out of alignment) just like mine. I picked up back on 3/15, pearl white as well.

thxphil, did you get your door sills Xpel'd too? We added that to our wrap after hearing that those are highly scratchable.

ned to get the tan leather. The product specialist suggested the white/black interior (the exterior is blue), which looks fabulous. I've had the car about three weeks. I was worried about upkeep on white but no issues.

With the white interior have you experienced any color transfer from belts or jeans? It's an issue I have with BMW cars, and has me scared about white. Don't want a black interior so trying to figure out options.

OMG. I almost switched my pearl white / ultra white MS to black interior before the order finalized. SO GLAD I didn't. This looks AMAZING. I can't wait until mine comes in!

Any fit and finish or other delivery issues?

Yes. On one hand I was actually very pleased. I was expecting a ton of issues but only found one. However the one I did find was on the lower passenger door (driver side) there was a big gouge in the paint as if someone opened the door on a curb or retainer wall. They will need to repaint. In all my excitement, I am glad I took the time to fine tooth comb the car and get that added to the due bill. Overall, very happy with the quality (so far) and the ultra white makes this car feel super futuristic. All my friends who've checked it out say that is their favorite part. Will see if they hold up as well as the reviews say they do.

I did get my door sills Xpel'd as well. My detailer tossed it in for me.

Been an avid TMC reader for almost a year. Just wanted to say thank you to all owners who took the time to post issues and answers to questions before and during that time. Really helpful to me as I considered purchase, chose options, placed my order, bought accessories, and prepared for delivery. My 100D was delivered today. Great experience at Tesla Minneapolis. Zero scratches, zero paint issues, zero trim and panel alignment issues, zero mechanical issues at delivery. Car is fantastic. Deep blue metallic with ultra white interior. Spectacular. Thanks again.

Same combination as what I ordered. It's a stunner, for sure. Congratulations!

Picked up in North Houston on friday. Since i live in louisiana they said most of my service would be done by ranger and if it needed to go to the center they'd tow it for me and bring me a loaner pretty impressed. Autopilot calibrated for like 30 miles and then was active for the rest of the drive home.. Was the only one charging at Channelview and Lake Charles.

Wow, 23 day turnaround? Nice, I hope I am that lucky. Congrats!

Hey Guys, My late 2016 Tesla was a Total Loss about a week 1/2 ago.. Unfortunately I'm possibly thinking about ordering another MS90 but see the turnaround is a "June" delivery. Is that the average recently or is it coming in a lot sooner? My delivery at the time was Confirmed June 10th, Pickup Aug 10th.

I’m heartbroken to hear about your 2016 being written off. I hope you weren’t injured. I received my S75D 40 days after placing the initial order on February 9th 2017. As in 40 days of Lent, 40 days of Ramadan, and 40 days of Jesus wandering in the desert. As excruciating as my wait was, I figure I’ve paid a lifetime’s penance and I’m never going to give up anything for Lent ever again.

We had to delay delivery a few days because of my work schedule. Took delivery on March 21st.

That's not too bad. Thank you for your response. I was injured but It could of been a lot worse. I know this isn't the thread to talk about it, but just a future heads-up to new owners.. It was an Autopilot accident. I had just jumped on the highway and engaged AutoPilot, it got spooked by a semi truck and hit the right-hand barrier then went across 5 lanes of traffic and hit the HOV barrier 70 miles an hour. Fortunately, it's just stitches, bumps and bruises. I really don't think it would of been the same if I was in another vehicle. I love my Tesla. <3

Looks like the car did what it was designed to do - destroy itself to save you. I’m relieved to hear that your injuries weren’t severe, and you’re right, you’d been a lot worse off in another vehicle.

Thanks for the warning about the autopilot system. Please let us know if you start or include your experience with the autopilot in another thread.

Ask Tesla to hunt the inventory for you to maybe find a near-match to what you had. Should be able to replace by May.

Hi so sorry to hear about your loss but glad that you are on a mend. Certainly buying one through the inventory is the quickest way, hope that there is one available that has all the options/choices you are looking for. I did look at the inventory and came very close to buying one that had everything I was looking for except for the color of the seats. I ended up ordering MS 100D. Here is the timeline: Order placed 3/17/2017, confirmed 3/24/2017, production start 4/7/2017, production complete 4/8/2017, and pickup on 4/18/2017; that is a total of 32 days. Hope this helps, wishing you a quick recovery.

Sorry for your loss and glad you escaped without serious injury. I'm a bit confused though, what do you mean by "spooked" and did the car not apply brakes?

ooooow. Glad you are on the mend. Sure looks from the photo it could have been worse. If you start a thread on your encounter with the barrier, I too would be interested and will comment there. In the meantime I see that you are in Texas. You should check back through the Delivery spreadsheet* and see how deliveries to Texas are progressing. Typically first month of quarter they work on and ship out overseas and east coast orders, middle of country next and west coast tends to get shipped late in the quarter. All this of course isn't in stone, and higher end battery models seem to get out sooner. They added another workshift from what I read Elon saying so sure that has impacted how fast cars are finished. Given you are in Texas and ordering another 90 model wouldn't be surprised if you get it in May. Even being on the west coast (ordered end of year) we were originally told March-April but it was ready for pick up at our local Tesla second week of March. Figure they probably build-in some cushion. Do keep checking your MyTesla account and emails for updates. Hope you are back in a Tesla soon

I ordered an inventory car yesterday that just rolled off the production line in California. i live in Atlanta and got a delivery estimate from my advisor of about 2.5 weeks for delivery. These weeks are going to be Loooooooooong.

Yes. But the agony will worth it in the end.

I second that.
Sharing your horrible experience may help others with AP at the minimum prevent injuries like yours (SORRY) but more importantly save some lives, and at the same time incentives our beloved TESLA to build on additional safety features. I am sure everyone including TESLA would be thankful.
