For anyone who is new: there's no news, no delivery update, no one (or their imaginary friends) have any info. Oh, and Tesla is randomly changing *sugar* still and ****ed us all out of left/right tilt of the screen.

We should change the name of this thread to 'Model S Refresh Waiting Room' - feels more appropriate.
Then we can do a separate thread for delivery updates after we have ------ what's it called ------- oh, yeah - DELIVERIES!

I think you are right--looking at the angle again, reflection makes more sense.

First time tesla. Ordered a refreshed model S. Delivery estimate August-September. Constant refreshing has begun

Congrats. First time purchase for me too. MS LR Red/black interior. Here's to hoping our order doesn't get changed to the next model year, as our wait rolls into January.
My current lease ends in November. If Tesla isn't available by then, the order is getting cancelled

This is a second vehicle for me that will be mostly driven on nice sunny days. I can afford to sit on it for a bit.

There was one, that languished "Refreshed “2021” Model S waiting room" -- but we all stayed here. Hey, I have an update. Mine never had a "dash" under delivery before!
Just excited for ANYONE to get a vin…. So we can all see what we are buying 
Out of interest, I compared the cost to lease vs. purchase and I'm not sure which makes more sense. A plaid S for 36 months and 10k miles per year will cost $7500 down and $1,843 per month for 36 months ($1,680 plus 8.625% NY tax.) In total, the 36 month lease will cost about $74,500.
To purchase the car, the total is $132k (with tax) compared to $74,500 for a 36 month lease.
So will the car with 30k miles be worth more or less than $57,500 ($132k - $74.5k) after 36 months.
If less, then leasing sounds better. If the car will be worth more than $57,500 after 3 years, then purchase makes more sense.
Anyone have an opinion of the value at the end of the lease? A 3 year old Plaid model S with 30,000 miles. I honestly have no idea lol
Edit: when leasing, you only pay tax on the total of payments plus the $7500 down.
Same. I'm waiting (more than?) a year before I see mine, so I'm just eager to see what the refresh is like itself.Just excited for ANYONE to get a vin…. So we can all see what we are buying
Hi everyone. I've been following this forum for quite a while, but I just registered as a member today. This will be the first Tesla that I've owned, but I've driven them quite a bit. I'm probably going to ask some stupid questions, so I'm asking for forgiveness and patience up front. Like most of you, I ordered my MSLR and am still waiting on any real updates. Here is my build info for those who are interested: Ordered 02/18/2021 RN114531939
At the bottom, you'll see that if I decide to make any changes it may affect delivery date and may be subject to a fee. Has anyone here done that? If I decide to change my mind about the Black paint and opt for Red, would it really affect delivery for a car that hasn't even been built yet? Just curious if anyone here has made a change to their order and how did that go for you?

I extensively looked at the numbers for leasing versus loan. Key factors in leasing are money factor and residual value they compute. For my numbers and figuring the 13% annual depreciation rate of typical MS, a loan offered me an opportunity to gain a little equity after three years ($18k) above the difference in down, taxes, payments, and lease costs. Essentially at the end of the lease i had no equity after payments; with loan, I had a some equity based on depreciation and expected value after three years.
Response from my SA (via email):
>>>>>>>>
a handful of Model S will likely roll off the line in May with a slight increase in June. Real scaled production of the S likely won’t occur until July / August with a lot of deliveries in August / September.
Again, this is my best estimate but I am confident that you would likely take delivery of your S in mid / late Q3.
>>>>>>>>
If his best estimate is going to be true, that's almost 4 - 10 weeks beyond the initial estimate of 10-14 weeks (which ends mid Jul'21).
Ordered date: 4/2/2021
Red/Black/21"/FSD
Estimated delivery: 10-14 weeks from order date.
for a fixed screen with no tilt, viewing angle may cause a problem unless the screen is titled towards driver, similar to previous Model S vertical big screen. I hope the they retain the tilt/adjustment in the final production line.

Well my 2015 S70D (low mileage) was worth 43K (tax/title costs included) when it was totalled in November (about 5 and 1/2 yrs old) and cost about 91K (before taxes). so I think a Plaid would be at least 57.5K after 3 yrs. They do hold their value.
