Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Atomadam]

People like it! My wife drives with it on.

I have it on all the time, i couldn't live without it anymore. I really HOPE with the refresh I can still have the rear cam on all the time.

regarding permits, i looked at a lot of older permits from this factory. it’s not unheard of for permits to have no inspections and end in the issued state.

true, the two i keep referencing though, the bus bar one failed (that may end up being closed by now), the tool install one just finished plan check on 4/1, so regardless of anything, 7 days for an install of something that took plan check a month to get through, idk

Ordered 2/17. No delivery date on my order page. It used to have 'Delivery estimate: -'.

Here’s Elon’s non update, but possibly update:

Then again, he could be generally thanking Tesla suppliers, and not thanking them for a recent action. Or, this could be sarcasm.

can you explain to me the fixation that so many have about having the rear camera on while driving forwards

We got a new Escalade a few months ago and it has the camera display on the rearview mirror while driving. Seemed like a silly feature until we moved packed some things in the truck for my sister-in-law from Lowes. We quickly saw it was a great feature when the back window is completely obstructed.

that still doesn't explain the need that some have to view what is going on behind them while driving forwards

maybe for lane changes if the back window is obstructed? it adds context to the side mirrors

the question is why can you not live without the rear camera being on? what need is satisfied by having the camera always on?

if that is the case then the driver who needs it to change lanes needs to work on improving their driving skills

 

[mk677]

Sure, to see behind like any rear view mirror does. Should we not look at those either?

do you look in your rearview mirror all the time while travelling forwards?

I see that some people like it, my question is WHY?

What does this have to do with orders?

Ordered LR in December pre-refresh and still have no date out in Florida.

Same...MS LR ordered Jan 5 before refresh (Florida) no delivery estimate at all. Just blank

nothing.

Let's see if @sam3194 is correct and there may be some more updates next week and some get estimated delivery dates bumped up from July. My account still says July but still hoping for May or June.

Yeah, expecting some kind of update next week. Will share what I hear as long as it’s not told to me that I can’t.

Hmmm... I’m curious if this is related to Model S/X production?

[mk677]

to the guys waiting for the cars you reserved, haven't you learned from the history of tesla? Every car that tesla introduced, almost any "promise" from Elon, has never appeared when promised.
why would anyone believe that the intro of the refreshed S would defy this reality?

Sam do you work for Tesla?

Simple: there are some blind spots on the S that the rear camera helps to alleviate especially when there's heavy traffic during commutes. I find it useful when I know I've got some dodging to do because of the way people drive in my neck of the woods.

If it makes someone more comfortable with driving then it's a benefit - nothing really to concern yourself with if you drive differently.
