Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[omarsultan]

I am unconvinced the Plaid will get priority over LR this time around, a few things have changed since prior introductions of S and X models:

• In the scheme of things, S/X volume and the impact on financials is dwarfed by the volume of the 3/Y
• In the past, Tesla manipulated lead time in the configurator to make the Performance models more appealing--when I put in my order, the LR and Plaid had the same lead time
• In the past, models had more variance in interior options (i.e. different seats, premium interior) and Tesla focused on a single config/build to debug the production line. The LR and the Plaid appear to have the same interior (except swapping wood for CF trim), so, theoretically, building side-by-side is not more complicated

You had me until "I actually like the Tempest wheels".

I like tempest wheels also but may change them to 20' aftermarket in the future if I end up changing my preference. Other than that the model s mules have some black rims that aren't arachnids hopefully they change the rims under the tempest covers to those. Also contacted my SA and I was told my order got push back to late March-early April. originally March 1st-31

late March-early April. originally March 1st-31

Does it reflect that on your account page? Just curious as it's quite possible I'm in that group as well, but mine is now just showing "March" (was March 1 to March 31).

no, my page still has it empty but that what I was told when contacting them over the weekend

 

[NickEHughes]

Mine says March, but no year, going to assume next March.

For all us us addicts Gabeincal has posted another Fremont flyover video on youtube...

And that is just the FSD you paid for...

Is the first part the S and X factory? If so, doesn't look they are they are going to be making any anytime soon...

HA! FSD? That will go down as the most under delivered product in the history of consumerism. If you plan to keep your car for 10+ years, I can see why you'd buy FSD. But it really depends on what you think FSD is, because it aint Level 5 and it aint happening as a software update on any car on the road today. Take the 10K, invest it in a modest ETF, take your 6% return, IF FSD does ever come, use that money to add it, your returns will out pace the rise in price.

That first part is one of the ancillary manufacturing locations on Kato road, a couple of miles south of the main plant. Fremont is shown after the cut.

Looks like Tesla removed estimated delivery for new orders on Long Range and Plaid. Plaid+ is still estimated end of 2021.

In my account page however it still shows "March"

Interesting??

Tesla Model S refresh’s large side repeater cameras hint at intense FSD focus

It might just be that they have to stick out further because of the wider stance of the new models. Can only guess at this point though.

Could this be HW3.5 or HW4? I also noticed there's now a cutout on the B-pillar frame that could house a larger camera.

It’s possible. I’d be happy if they just fixed the condensation problem that regularly blinds the pillar cameras in my 3 (especially in certain seasons).

I’ve been on the fence between an S and a Y, but pulled the trigger last night and submitted an order for the S. LR, Blue, black interior, tempest wheels. Mainly I wanted to get in line, but may still reconsider some options. I would really like to drive one (and know more detailed specs - a little nervous about it being too wide for our narrow driveway with curbs and concrete walls on the sides). But since it seems like deliveries are still a couple months out, I probably have time to change my mind I guess.

@carms
My office computer shows dates for LR and Plaid. My home does not show dates. So they are still there but not.

We should find out more details in 1 - 2 weeks....oh wait that was a month ago now.... OooooooohhhElon.....

Took this right now

I've come to my senses and decided I'd like to remove FSD from my build, which I assume wouldn't be a difficult thing as it's just software. I tried doing that, and found two things curious:

Note "FSD computer". Does this mean it actually gets different hardware?


It also showed me this (below) when I clicked that box, which has me a bit concerned that I'll be locking in the entire build. Anyone have experience with this? Is this just a "you can't make any more changes to FSD", or does it lock everything (color options, wheels, etc)?

Aside: watching the activity in this thread, it's extremely comforting to know there are other people out there like me - hyperscrutinizing everything remotely related to the Model S refresh.

 

[Ketorolac]

3-8 weeks for Plaid, 5-11 for LR right now

still Late 2021 for Plaid+

All cars, I believe, are shipped with FSD hardware. It's how they can leverage the fleet to continuously improve Autopilot!

I called Tesla Burbank a few minutes ago. The SA told me Model S deliveries were now being delayed until May or June. I then called my SA in Century Ciity who told me I am still in the first wave of deliver sometime towards the end of March.

I ordered the S LR December 15th and modified for refresh as soon as announced. This is my first Tesla and I have already had the wall charger installed. If I hadn’t had an electrician install it, I am pretty sure I would be on my was back to my MB dealer.

This is no way to run a company that sells to consumers. Totally disgusted with the lack of info.
