Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[lzolman]

Curious, if yoke is not approved.. couldn’t they just ship with standard then offer option to change to yoke at service center as an aftermarket?

If that were truly the only issue then it would probably be an easy call to do just that. My guess is that yoke approval is either only one of many issues, or perhaps not one of the actual issues at all...

I love how when people just say "LR/PLAID MODEL S" with ZERO evidence that any of them are actually Plaid. Just a pet peeve.

Agreed--I think some folks can't conceive of getting an LR with 21s or a Plaid/Perf with 19s. I think the only this that definitively says "Plaid" is the red brake calipers.

Also, people think that this refresh is called the "Plaid". It is not. The refresh is Palladium. There are three models of this refresh.

How good do those Arachnids look on the midnight grey though,,,,

@sam3194 - you're refreshing your order page every 5 minutes to see if the date changes again to keep us all updated, right? All of our hopes and dreams are on your shoulders now!

Refreshing like a cool soda on a hot Summer day.

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.

They did update the website. In Feb, the site said 3-8 weeks and lately it says 10-14 weeks.

This varies on what state you select under the Cash option.

Yeah - but what does that mean? Nothing in regards to what I am referring to. As a new order, you can expect 10-14 weeks (I guess), but for those of sitting here for a couple of months (or more)...many of us have "March" as the delivery time. If they already know it isn't going to be March, how much work is it to go in and change to that to something like "April-May"?

I noticed the white car in the reddit post on the transporter has a standard wheel. This may not be a production model, so take that with a grain of salt.

No, that wheel will be on production cars. It's the base wheel.

Are you implying the LR comes with the base wheel and Plaid and Plaid plus are Yoke or that you have to option for the Yoke?

All the new model s versions come with the yoke by default

My car is coming with these base wheels. My car's order also says Yoke. I'm expecting the LR Model S to have both for my configuration.

Agreed. Mine shows yoke

 

[smith1234]

I did a poor job of describing which wheel I was speaking of in my original post. I was noting the fact it had the standard steering wheel, not standard wheels on the car itself.

Just because it says yoke doesn’t really mean that we can rely on it being a yoke. There are numerous reasons why this can change, and any option that we didn’t pay for is subject to change as far as I’m concerned. The only thing I know for certain is that I’m getting a MSM Model S with 21” Arachnids and white interior since those are the 3 options I paid for.

No one knows until they start delivering and, even then, Tesla is going to have to explain what’s actually on the cars, etc. Patience.
