Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Pantera Dude]

Good news! Not "great" news but at least it's good. I get my car on Friday at 1:00. I was hoping it would get here sooner but my visiting out of town family DOES get to go for their rides! "And All Will Be Right With The World!" Ordered 10/31/2016. Started production 12/14/2016. Ended production 12/18/2016. Delivery 12/23/2016 in Costa Mesa, CA. Yee Haw!

I hope so too! It kind of sucks that for the most part the closer to the factory you are, the longer it seems to take to get your car. Oh well, whatever it takes to make Tesla successful. I DO want them to be successful. So far so good!

I did! Was an awesome experience, waited 5 years to experience getting my first Tesla!
Sorry, haven't been back to the website since I have been out driving and having fun with it since delivery! Driving it over the pure iced roads and the inches of metal corroding, paint scratching salt all over the lovely Minnesotan roads! :'(
But I did get it and love it!

Nice!!

Picked up yesterday. Sent email to DS prior to pick up and told her I was very fussy and would need plenty of time for inspection. She said she would contact service and have them go over the car closely. I guess they did all was very nice.
Although I did not get to drive it, got stuck with the Prius !!

Last night got the front plate holder off, looks much better.

I drove past the Tesla lot and saw 5 deep blue cars, but only 1 had a tan leather interior. MyTesla says my car is being prepared for delivery. Friday can't come soon enough.

When I checked this morning at 3:30a PST my car was officially in transport. My DS wants to deliver on Monday but had promised last night if it was in transport by this morning I could have it on Saturday. I am 100% insisting that he keep to that timeline, since Monday is a snarl of overlapping work schedules for me and my husband, and I'd really like him to be there.

Congrats! I was originally scheduled to pick up the car on Monday, but I called them and rescheduled to Saturday. You will probably get the car before Saturday if it's really in transit today or tomorrow.

True enough! We're scheduled for delivery this Saturday @ 4pm.

Backtracking just a bit, @kg7jo-, I bought the front license plate removal tool a while back but I really appreciate your offer to lend yours out! How hard was it to get the glue off?

Watched a video on it

Seems pretty easy. Id use a dremel and just make a notch which will allow you to use a flat head to unscrew.


After doing some more research: I think we are all better off buying the $10 tool. Plus its a handy tool to have!
Definitive S Refresh Front Plate Bracket Removal

Tool needed TEKTON 34233 7-Inch 90-Degree Bent Long Nose Pliers - - Amazon.com

Looking more into the thread: It seems newer deliveries may not even have the security screws!

Pretty easy. I used a hair dryer, starting at a corner, and slowly pop it out a liitle bit so you can stick your finger between, and slowly move on to the other side. I used my phone as a flashlight and a mirror to see where the screws are. took about 5 min to get it off.

That sounds great. If I get stuck, I know who to call!
