Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[JimLL]

Hey, were you able to upload your current insurance and Tesla was okay with it? I haven't uploaded any since it said 'Your Tesla VIN must be listed on your policy' and I obviously don't have my VIN yet.

I did this too. It won't hold up long term but the system shows you "completed the task". In some states (I live in MD), you cannot even get a price quote without your VIN and Tesla knows this. Just showing you have active insurance at this point seems to be ok.

This process is very similar to how the Raven Model S Ludicrous+ mode/launch/cheetah mode works, except the battery heating information is included on the main display as seen below.

That's just the normal ludicrous+ functionality, same on my P90D.

When did you change your order to a regular plaid? You probably know this already; your 10/2020 order changed to a plaid+ by default in late January. At least mine did.

I thought about it for a couple weeks then had SA change to plaid.

I guess you guys are right re: AutoShift--from Elon's words yesterday, I got the impression it would be a bit smarter. My bad.

 

[sflgator]

Has anyone gotten any new or useful information from their local SA's since last night? I am curious if there has been any internal company communication on deliveries? So far, no response from my SA's.

After last night's embarrassing performance and unrehearsed and unprepared so-called Model S Delivery Event Presentation, so far my SA, his manager, and the RM all seem to be laying low and haven't returned my emails thus far.

Why bother with those folks? Omar and Adam can answer all the important questions, except for delivery

BTW, tried an order for plaid/red/cream/19"/no FSD. Still says June with no particular year.

Mine is blank.

The truck cover (I think that is what its called) now lays flat, my 2017 didnt, also the hidden space seems bigger (where a spare tire would go) and there is a side cover for the space on the charging port side, prior to that it was just open.

I did not order FSD. I do have black/Black and wood. Unless CF is holding it up you would get yours before me.

Yeah I don’t know, maybe. That’s why I asked, just curious. Of course we know that there is no common sense to the process, so who really knows.

Someone probably asked this, but based on the earlier photo showing range of 420 without full charge, is range @ 100% SOC 390?

I figure we won’t have accurate deliver dates for a good month or two from now, when production is more predictable. Even then there seems to be supply chain surprises. Even new orders still say Sep-Oct which seem optimistic for those.

Heck to compare, we also ordered a incoming build for a Ford F-150 about 2 months ago. We still have probably a Jul-Aug wait on that mass produced truck even we were just told (total lying 4-5 months). All trims Lariat and above are pre-reserved before arriving at a dealer these days.

All weather mats fit.

Is there still that 2-3" difference between the folded over back seats and the trunk space that basically creates a ledge in older MS's? It looks like it lies much flatter now, basically flush now... (my dogs will very much appreciate a more even surface to lie on ;-) Thank you so much for answering all our questions!

 

[Atomadam]

Another question asked.

 

[Atomadam]

Rear all weather mat DOES NOT fit.

Dude... Honestly.... Your negativity is toxic. Christ your are so unhappy and likely impossible to please. It's ok to complain.. Whine... Whatever... But holy hell you just want to insult at every turn. I can't imagine how you're still buying a car from a company you trash and dare i say, passionately hate?

 

[Jeffgtx]

Any of you new owners tried the ventilated seats today in the sunny weather?

 

[Atomadam]

Small buttons in the truck that will unlock the rear seats so you can fold them down.

XM is an add on unit, it won't show up as an option until the XM receiver is installed, that's how it was on my 2020.

Wasn’t this only for MCU upgrades? Since when was SXM an independent upgrade on new cars?? My brother’s 2018 S had it included and it was a spec on every S before and since. What do you mean when you say you had to add it to your 2020?? That makes no sense.

Does anyone know if the seat belt is adjustable like the Model X? Slide up and down? Also are there storage or cup holders on the door like all other Tesla's?
