Wiki Model S Delivery Update

But once he adds flames to the side, it will go faster. Flames always make it go faster.

Flames aren't appropriate.
Forked purple streaks of lightning!

It’s not transferable? WTF? I wasn’t going to pay for it anyway but that is just inconceivable.

Is my upgraded paint and interior going to be clawed back too when I sell it?

FSD is transferrable. Don't worry.

 

[AnselmDante]

Until they make FSD transferable I am not buying it, not even if they offer it for $5K. It’s a ripoff now and it will be a major ripoff at that price.

Especially when you consider it doesn't even go with the car. Stripping a software package you purchased, so they can resell it to the next customer should be criminal.

 

[AnselmDante]

I think a ‘rent to own’ FSD subscription is the way to go. It would bring in many more customers than a plain subscription model without pissing off all the people who pay up front for FSD. It could still cost more overall than upfront purchase if structured properly.

But a subscription model should not be necessary to begin with. Tesla has made it a point to give you an account that all of your products belong to. If it wasn't for straight up corporate greed, the FSD package would be purchased for your account, and applied to any Tesla you drive, since you have that product attached to your account.

Yeah, it's that forking part that really screws you.

As of this morning, I have a much more narrow delivery range for the first time:

3/24 order; Plaid; MSM; Cream; Michigan; Current Delivery Estimate: 6/26 - 6/30

I, too, narrowed overnight to June 21 - June 30.

 

[HiHo&Tonto]

I, too, narrowed overnight to June 21 - June 30.

I had June 1-30 initially, then it changed to June 21-30 for about the last 6 days. Today, I see my date is completely missing. Sure feels like they're just messing with me.

 

[ChrisOtt]

Maybe the June 3rd date is to announce the July deliveries

 

[mytes]

When did you order? I ordered my LR on April 25

March 5, actually it originally said 4 to 11 weeks and then switched to August. Lawrence SA said recently delivery expected June to to early August

 

[teslox]

I, too, narrowed overnight to June 21 - June 30.

Any delivery window that ends with June 30, sure feels like: "we have no idea how but we REALLY want to try to deliver before EOQ"

3/24 order; Plaid; MSM; Cream; Michigan; Current Delivery Estimate: 6/26 - 6/30

 

[HiHo&Tonto]

My june1-30 just toggled back to July. Ugh

at least you have a date. My June 21-30 date has vanished as of this morning.

If there is any realistic plan for early June deliveries then people should start receiving VINs any day. Tesla won't expect to give a VIN today and have you pick up the car tomorrow. We will know something soon. Even if people don't start to get VINs before June 3, that will be informative.

I wish that's a feasible business model considering the amount of research and funding goes into development of FSD.

Currently, FSD is tied to the VIN, similar to OEMs tying OS license to a laptop. If you sell the car, the new owner get FSD. If your car is totaled, bad luck for you. FSD is not transferrable to your new car. If and when Tesla starts subscription model, it'll be use and pay for a specific VIN, probably with no contract. If your statement of tying FSD to profile and use it on any car is definitely not possible... If so, Tesla will still make you pay FSD payments based on no.of cars in your profile... it's not a pool of floating license(s) that you can use on any car.. I don't think Tesla will ever go down that path.

Plaid S and Plaid X reservation holder here. I’ve been addicted to this forum for months now and obsessing over the leaks and photos. I have to admit though that all of my/our obsession to get this refresh sooner then later or be the first to take delivery should go against our best judgment. The flyover showing all of the S outside/in field with the trunks open finally made me pause. I’m scared about what might actually get delivered. These cars are likely going to be dirty and beat up with missing pieces.
Based on experience, I took a Model Y at the start of the pandemic and I think the vehicle literally had Covid. It was so sloppily put together the deeper I looked and eventually required a buy back from Tesla.
Im just saying —the excitement of new and fast is certainly clouding my/our best judgment. Oh wait, they just updated my delivery date. Never mind.

Congratulations on your TMC membership and on your Model S order.
Welcome to the roller coaster.

Two tips:
1: read the previous 100 pages.
2: wait for the June 3rd delivery event.

And have a glass of champaign to celebrate.

Thanks, im glad I joined the conversations.

Haha roller coaster. Seems to be the case.

SO true. Any loan on the car would require a VIN to be attached to it for the proceeds to be disbursed. The process of Bank here is my VIN to here is your check can "hardly" happen that quickly

Mine was at 6/1 - 6/30. Then this morning bumped back to August. Wonder if on 6/3 I will get a call saying to come pick up my car.....

Every forum has someone who lobs anger grenades. Part of the entertainment is when people can't take it anymore and engage. I'll get my popcorn

lol...good point. Not sure why I even responded as I typically just ignore this stuff. Anyways, can't wait until they start deliveries of the Model S and we start seeing some videos.

Not to discourage you, but the cars next to the train tracks look really sad, like they have been there for months. No way to charge them.

I hope they are never going to be sold, but that seems unlikely.
