Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[omarsultan]

@BillHenn Congrats on your new Tesla

The Order Status page has been a source of entertainment and conjecture for going on 9 years now, I don't expect that to change.

Did anybody who is due the $2,000 pre-order price reduction “Confirm” their financing on the Tesla website? I have been leaving the blue CONFIRM button untouched until I see the $2,000 price reduction reflected on the webpage. Just wondering if I am the only skeptic.

I placed my original order on 1/15, and had no "edit" button to convert my order to the refresh model.

Last weekend I called my SA, and they updated my order to the new refresh for me. I asked about modifying my financing, because my original financing details were made under a different final price. (Also, I want to make sure the $2k comes off my total due on delivery, and not my amount financed).

He said that at the end of February, everyone will be prompted to reconfirm their financing, and at this point the $2k discount will be reflected so you can make accurate plans. ‍

For those that delivery changed from 3/1-3/31 to "March" - were those conversions from prerefresh or totally new orders?

My order is a new order and just change to March.

 

[Kuzco]

I think new orders will show "March" and conversions are showing no delivery. Not sure that it matters but it gives me something to do this morning...

This is accurate for me. Order placed 1/23 pre-refresh, converted by SA because “edit design” button never displayed in online account, and currently there’s no delivery date showing on my account.

I have a new order, no delivery showing currently. Emailed my TA today about it, haven't heard back.

I've placed my order since October and have been deferring for the refresh. Everyone, check your credit report if you are financing or leasing. Tesla ran a credit check 5 different times on on the same order since my original order. I was livid. Waiting on a response as to why. Thats 5 hard pulls. I don't mess around with my credit.

Maybe its' wishful thinking, but I am starting to subscribe to the notion that they are partially producing refresh Ses. I have not seen any reports that the S/X line is idled, so they have to be doing something? Maybe there is as supply chain or regulatory issue that is stopping them for completing the builds, but that would not mean they cannot get cars started. IIRC, something similar happened with the initial Model X deliveries, where they had a supply chain issue and shipped mostly finished cars to the stores then completed assembly there as parts came in.

I did my daily check of the site to see if there was any update, and it seems Tesla has removed the delivery estimate for my LR S It was previously showing March 1-31.

I’m watching the S thread, but waiting for a new X. This thread has more traction. I stopped in my local delivery center and it sounds like they’re expecting 3+ weeks for first cars, definitely into March for first deliveries. Likely S first and X are now into late April or May.

 

[NickEHughes]

Shocked there are no factory workers on here to confirm anything ever. Guess it’s mostly robots.

Same here. First Tesla purchase and the suspense is killing me! I just want some details or a demo, though there are definitely others that have been waiting a lot longer... (ahem roadster, cybertruck, semi)

I suspect they may be building them but still working on the software.

That said, if they are building them they must be somewhere, and I’m surprised nobody has gotten pictures.

Except for the Ohio sighting.

 

[scrapps]

That was a prototype...

 

[lzolman]

They haven't updated the Owner's Manual yet, I noticed. A recent email had a link to the PDF and it's still for the old car.

Looks like there are more test cars around.

Great find! Pretty sure that's where the cupholders were going to be, but nice to confirm. My #1 complaint about pre-refresh MS.

Other interesting bits:

• "Hot rush" sticker on windshield?
• Power connector behind door trim = ambient lighting?
• Seats don't look white, but also don't look cream. I bet they're cream though.
• Steering wheel controls look matte now (as opposed to piano black in the Ohio spotting)
• I actually like the Tempest wheels

I hadn’t seen those, thanks for sharing. But I was talking about production cars waiting around to be delivered. I don’t think we’ve seen or heard about any of those. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist though.

Finally! I've been expecting for 1-2 weeks to start seeing these types of spy pics to popping up every day.

That interior pic seems to complicate my theory that there would be physical gear-selection over-rides next to the hazard button.
