Here is an interesting tidbit: DPG Media Privacy Gate
The TL;DR version is that they are stopping doing final assembly in Tilburg for the S and X - that "two models were upgraded at the end of January, which changed the production process in the United States so that assembly in the Netherlands is no longer possible, NU.nl reports."
For those who did not know, car chassis, drive units and battery packs were all shipped separately to Tilburg, where they were assembled before delivery, which let Tesla get around import duties on S and X sold in the EU.

RN 1139 like mine are plaid plus orders. The plaid orders which started late January started with RN 1142 or RN 1143. Iām reallly close to canceling my plus order and ordering a plaid. Iāll go nuts waiting til mid-2022 which probably means late 2022. I can always trade in my plaid for the plus.

I am literally bugging my source every day for updates. They must be so busy working on this... I haven't heard anything since almost 2 weekends ago. At this point, I need to lower my expectations.
It is truly crazy - I wonder if internally that Elon still believes that a thousand or so Model S orders can go out over the next ~2 weeks (most to West Coast, I assume). Otherwise, if they thought it was going to be a delay until mid-to-late April, why not just update the website like they did for the Plaid+?
Then again, what Elon *thinks* can happen and what reality says will happen are two very different things.
I mean why not? Model S/X line can do 2K/week and people were picking up car that literally just come off the production line on 12/31/20 to squeeze in the federal credit.
Hard to say. I just thought it was interesting as it points to a deeper re-design than just a re-skinning, which some had thought. A new battery pack, more like the 3/Y pack, could also indicate a possible supply chain reason for the delay vs some engineering (it's not working) issue, which, I think is positive.
I really hope Elon does some kind of event to showcase all the new features and changes.
I am very excited for new MCU + GPU, Noise cancelling cabin, new AC that matches Model 3/Y and how the Yoke works.

Based on what is going on in the ports and with suppliers in general, my guess is that the delay is supply chain related and not engineering related. Also, the yoke approval may also be holding things up. Yes, RMG0007 - this is just (educated) speculation.
Yes, my most recent post was speculation, but thatās all we have right now.
āLeakedā communications from Tesla about double shifts arenāt super great either.
Ultimately, we are all trying to provide good info to one another if we can and, when there isnāt any, we speculate and entertain. Otherwise, nothing will show up on this forum when I hit ārefreshā 10x per day.
If all we had were facts, weād have no thread right now.

Right now they're not recognizing any revenue from S/X, +1 month and counting, so hopefully its raising a flag somewhere...
I think they are focusing on 3/Y for quarter end, then will resolve issues and deliver our cars in mid April onwards.

FYI, a hauler full of MS leaving Fremont via Twitter. I donāt see any red brake calipers, carbon fiber wings or Plaid rear badges so maybe these are LR models?
Looks like not customer vehicles. Tweet thread mentioned it was transported to a nearby location.
Since life in general is still a bit slow due to Covid, I've been reading a lot, and watching too many youtube videos. A Tesla video posted earlier today by 'Ryan Shaw' was very informative.
He said the model s assembly line is still getting re-tooled. Unfortunately, he also said: "some order holders for the Plaid model S have said that Tesla has told them a May or June delivery timeline." I don't know how credible his information is so maybe it's just more speculation idk.
Spoiler and badging might be things done at the store, pre-delivery, at least for the spoiler, less change of damage.
