I ordered black but might change to silver|gray. Not sure why all the colors are metallic except black. Iām nervous to make a change1. Has anyone quantified that to be anything more than insignificant? Live in SoCal, and range is fine and am dubious that I have been impacted in any notable way.
2. My '17 OBM is still gorgeous. The entire front has PPF so no swirls and the rest of the car is in fine shape as I am the only one that washes it. Some very minor swirls. Only noticeable in direct sunlight and from less than a foot away.
3. I'll grant you that one based on low visibility conditions caveat.
All that being said, I'm never buying black again.But would never tell anyone that it was a bad choice.

Worst case you drop a bit in the queue however that algorithm works if you change colors on LR or Plaid order. But on a Plaid+ you will additionally lose $10-12.5k on the pricing..... (interior price change, FSD price change, general recent price increase). I love the OBM but takes too much time to maintain, so I ordered MSM. Also, not sure of the difference between SB and OBM.
I wouldnāt fret. Those who say āJulyā now will update to August at some point OR go back to 4-11 weeks or go to ā-ā. When your name is Tesla, you donāt need a reason, itās always the season for unexplained surprise.Hopefully black handles..
Still says 4-11 weeks, not sure why itās not updating to July.

Where ā2020ā was the general reason for things going sideways last year, this year itās āTeslaā.
Have not heard of any Refresh VINs getting assigned but saw this in a Teslarati article dated yesterday Apr 16. Quote: "The Model S and Model X refresh were initially expected to begin deliveries in February, as per estimates from CEO Elon Musk. So far, however, the vehicles are yet to make their way to their reservation holders, though some have noted that VINs are already being assigned for Model S refresh units. Other reservation holders have also reported that their delivery dates have been pushed back as late as early Q3." EndQuote. Anybody here heard of someone getting a VIN?

Just dont forget we are talking about the new Model S/X.= from what i see 3/Y moving along really well, they are becoming a lot more commonplace on the road and (speaking a a Y owners) are amazing vehicles...and in some ways Iād rather they announced new S/X realy Rather not than later...
I imagine itās just a case of the people at Tesla who actually know what is going on with the new S/X not communicating to their employees. Tesla Sr. Executives clearly donāt want the public/customers to know what is going on with the production delays. Sales Advisors and Iām sure people who work on the web team are in the dark so that we are left in the dark. Theyāll update the website when they are given info theyāre allowed to be public.
We arenāt going to get any type of update until Elon is forced to talk about it at the earnings call. (Even then I suspect itāll be as vague as he thinks he can get away with) Elon made a statement about S/X production and availability early this year. He was wrong. There is likely no positive spin that can be put on an update regarding timing since the update would probably be, āwe donāt knowā.
If I had to wager, Iād say we arenāt going to get any meaningful updates on timing until one random day when VINs just start showing up. Until then, weāll all be in here impatiently waiting.

I agree that he will not man up and say something meaningful. Again, it is not the delay so much as the lack of communication. I am not obsessing over this and want to get on with a new vehicle (I travel 30-40k per year). So today I am going to test drive the Defender, Taycan, and stop by MB to see what they can show me on the EQS.
Do NOT want to cancel. I want the S by a wide margin but not sure I am cut out for this Tesla business model.

Question for you all- if your Plaid paint is as bad as this, will you reject delivery and wait [x] more months? (Taken off tesla owners worldwide on fb):
If delivery delays continue into August I am considering the RS E-tron GT as my second choice behind the refreshed Plaid.

The inconsistency in everyone's order status is evidence that Tesla orders are not centrally managed. "-" ", "no dash", "4-11 weeks."Hopefully black handles

I am guessing they have multiple apps on the front end that handle pre-production orders and ad hoc asynchronous manual updates to "estimated delivery." It only gets serious when there is a physical vehicle being bonded together that matches your order specs.
I am a prior MS owner and most recently MX. I belong over in the X threads because I ordered an X refresh. But, this thread is much more active and way more fun. I don't want to double post, so will you please see my thread on the X side regarding what alternatives you would consider over a MS? If a thread of this nature already exists, please forgive me.
Everything blacked out but chrome headlight housings and chrome T
Yeah, doesn't make much sense. Also, I feel like Tesla half assed the aero wheels. This is literally the best solution their design team could come up with?
I bet a box of donuts that is stupid fake news post on Reddit - such is the state of Tesla "journalism"
