Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[AnselmDante]

I think you should order the color that you or your SO likes.

I'm kinda torn on the color. I ordered red because I have never owned a red car. I saw last years model in the showroom and fell in love with that shade of red. I can't order white because my last car was white, and I drove it for 17 years. Black is never an option because keeping it clean is ridiculous. So grey and blue...

I have not seen either of them in person. The blue on the website looks too vibrant. If was more muted or darker, I would be all in. I just can't see ordering a color sight unseen. Same goes for the grey. I wish I could see it.

The interior I saw at the showroom was tan and I loved it, but all of my vehicles have darker interiors, and 2k for a color change seems excessive. So I chose black, but every passing day has me wishing I picked tan.

I just hope I don't regret buying a car without seeing all the options in person. This is going to be a frustrating several months.

The grey is similar the dark gray metallic offered by other automakers. The blue is rather vibrant. If Tesla offered the dark "Signature Red" or the dark blue from the past, I'd order that, but they don't. (My order is Midnight Silver Metallic.) (I asked the local shop that does wraps and ceramic coating about wrapping in Signature Red. They won't do it. "Too difficult." I'm sure that wouldn't be an issue in California. I have no idea about New England.)

Yea. I just decided I'm gonna switch to White interior with MSM exterior. That is of course if my sales rep will respond. Guess I'm gonna have to call em tomorrow.

So how big and loud will the 'i have a VIN assignment" air horn be? I can't wait to hear it!

SO says she will never drive in a Tesla. I’m actually a huge fan of blue, but recognize that each color looks different as it gets dirty.

My SO said she would NEVER get on the back of my sport bike. She did, and then I taught her to ride. Now she has her own.

I did!! Opted to not have ceramic coating on this one tho.

Just 2-4 washes a week in the local drive through car wash. Thank goodness for the monthly unlimited plan.

Forgot to add in my post that car has ~51,000 miles on it.

Looking for a 97 Honda Civic with 300k miles or something to tide me over until the Tesla shows up. I'm just assuming I'll see the Model S sometime in 2022/23. Anyone considering shifting their traffic to Lucid motors? They look pretty promising right about now

I just cannot get into the Lucid designs. I will look at Rivian soon if no communication from Tesla soon (my "soon" and not Elon's "soon").

Just curious - why'd you decide a LR over a Plaid given you had a Perf + Ludicrous? Just decided you don't want/need the extra power?

AGAIN. "Hi. Thank you for your patience and support. I would like to share with you some incredibly exciting new information we absolutely have regarding the delivery of your $100k+ order for a new Tesla vehicle...unfortunately, we actually have NO new information although this text/email specifically says we DO have new information, but unfortunately, I'm just a BOT programmed by some 22-year-old schmoe at Telsa who gets paid $175k per year to write such bullsh!t code and send it off to gullible customers anxiously awaiting any new information on their expensive vehicle orders. BTW -- for any questions, concerns, or complaints, please note we do NOT have any Customer Service or Support Department, but feel free to CALL 1-800-FUK-YOU1.

I know I said I have some exciting new information BUT guess what, I was just joking, AKA "lying my as$ off" to you clowns drooling over ANY possible new information our company might have. Unfortunately, we don't have any new information and your order will come "soon." And, when I say "soon" (which is what our MAIN Boss, the Boss of Bosses, you know, the great Elon Musk, our "TeknoKing (that's his new title...no really, it is!), Mr. Asperperger's SUPER-GENIUS, you know like Wiley E. Coyote, "Super Genius" says, "soon,"), we mean "sometime within the next year or so...maybe...perhaps...we'll see." So, I really hope you appreciate our AWESOME COMMUNICATION that we provide because we really do VALUE and APPRECIATE your MONEY IN OUR BANK ACCOUNT, I mean...we appreciate your BUSINESS. So sit back, have a few cocktails and enjoy the ride! Perhaps we'll deliver your very awesome Tesla EV sometime this year...or maybe next year. Not sure. But we'll reach back out to you very soon for another super awesome UPDATE. Love you! Your Tesla Representative."

Update for those of us who are focused on the main topic of this thread.
Estimated Delivery remains “-“ for me. Has been and probably will be until VIN assignment.

At this point, I am thinking of adding my reservation to my estate planning docs in the event of my untimely death prior to delivery!

Also, for the dude selling warranties. I don’t need a warranty for a car I don’t have and isn’t being made right now. Do you also sell warranties for other not yet invented products? Must be a high margin business…

Bro you need to put down that Miami dust.

Also, pretty clear that email is fake. No one here has said they have gotten it.

I did genuinely laugh my ass off reading this though.

Haha. Just for the Mods...my account still says July. Not sure about the fake email, but it seems many others have recently received texts & emails very similar to what @ModernS posted, so sorry, I had to respond in my own interpretation, lol.
