Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Hayseed_MS]

You should be excited.

There will be some that will say you are being naïve for believing that it will be solid and for you being excited. I say good for you. I am in the same boat and am excited. They told me first of March but to really expect closer to middle of March.

Thanks Hayseed, I take solace in the fact this isn't a brand new platform, just a refresh, and it IS after all the high-end vehicle so they wouldn't want to cut corners and get flack for doing anything half-baked. With Tesla you kinda have to expect that there will always be new features introduced in a non-industry-standard (yet) timetable and at some point I'll be thinking, "Geez I shoulda waited for ---" but this car is going to be so mind-numbingly better than anything I've ever owned before (and I've owned some really fun cars, like an '09 Boxster S) that perfection is not required.

Just checked my account again. I think I need to call someone asap! My financing is totally fubar. Under Completed Tasks it shows the cost of the car before I changed back to the regular wheels, financed 100%. It shows that they owe me $4500. Deliver February 18 - March 18 for pickup in Houston.

Hummmm.... new front and rear castings replacing lots of smaller parts. New battery pack with new cell chemistry and cooling. New motors and HVAC system. New interior. New MCU. The only thing not new is the mostly carry over exterior.

My last Model S was a 2017 with MCU1 so agree, feels like this is an entirely brand new vehicle. The exterior style and shape is iconic. I have no concern about ordering the refresh today as even my May 2017 build had plenty of issues and I don't think there are many examples of a more "steady state" vehicle as that was when it was built. It's a dice roll no matter what.

The mega-castings will increase build quality and consistency substantially, there’s no tolerance stack-up on a monolithic piece. I believe you can already see this increased consistency/quality in the rear of the MY vs the M3.

anyones pre-refresh-converted order showing delivery dates or range?

or is everyone getting "We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date. Delivery time frame is based on order date, profile submission, delivery location and vehicle configuration."

 

[RMan]

Yes. Model S ordered prior to refresh, updated order after refresh announcement, currently show a delivery range of Feb 15 thru March 15.

Fingers crossed for “in four days”

I have my doubts though

Mine is Feb 14- Mar 14. I seriously have no expectation of a car on Sunday.

I called the sales coordinator , and she told me it's more likely around March 1. They have not received any VINs for their customers , but she told me that they could get a large batch of VINs any day.

 

[Altair7]

Checked this morning, nothing yet.

My original order date was December 20.

 

[1965Cobra427]

Just checked as well. No change. Original order date Dec 5 - Reconfig date Jan 28.

Is that "confirmed"? I've certainly seen references to it and leaked pictures of the press(es), but having Tesla come out and verify would be nice.

 

[NOLA21SGuy]

My delivery of February 18 - March 18 has been removed. It now shows, "We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date..."

 

[1965Cobra427]

Ditto - mine had been Feb 14 - Mar 14

Ditto here. Disappointing that they can't give everyone a better time expectation.

Since we have several people on this forum in the same situation, it will be useful to hear when anyone gets a VIN assigned.

With almost zero Model S or X deliveries since January 1, this isn't a mere 2 or 3 week shutdown. It sounds like they have lost at least 6 weeks of production, and probably more with this refresh. I wonder if this is longer than Tesla had originally planned?

 

[Hayseed_MS]

No one has a date yet. My SA checked with all SA and mgr and stated that no date yet but is expecting first half of March for me. Will not have date until probably close to end of February is what mgr stated.

 

[ICUdoc30]

I would be shocked if these deliveries go beyond mid March. These vehicles much higher margin for Tesla bottom line and they’ll need it to keep quarter earnings respectable given X S line shutdown and decreased production due to semiconductor shortage of 3 and Y

 

[TurboBear]

I placed my order one Feb 2 (in other words, did not convert an existing order) and I’m still showing March 1-31.
