Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Drew-MS]

I don't know about the US, but in Germany one of the big numbers in the performance scene is the 100km/h to 200km/h time. (The only time we can comfortably measure on the autobahn. )

That would be about 62 mph to 124mph. Has anyone measured that yet? @omarsultan, do you have the patience (and a safe space) to measure that? That would be really interesting.

Thank you!

Jay Leno’s time slip. He reached 121.62 in 6 sec. figure 62-124= 3.5(8)

LR Date had been steady “June” for months - then “July” after the event until this morning - now gone. Might just be the monkey, but I don’t feel good about this.

I'm seeing reports that VINs show up when it's blank, so don't lose hope!

Hmm.. my 2019 Model S came with Sirius XM from the factory and works great. Maybe they removed it after the 2019 model came out?

And both our 2019 and 2020 MS's have it as well--no "add on" needed.

I have the same fear. What is going to stop my 2 year old from picking up my phone, getting in the car, playing with the seat belt and bucking it, stepping on the brakes, the car shifting into gear, and then the car moving?

I can think of a few things that will help. Door has to be closed, hopefully a certain amount of weight in the seat is required. I will be turning on pin to drive but the kids are smart and can probably figure that out.

Unless you have freakishly tall kids, reaching the pedals might be a stretch

 

[omarsultan]

Haha fair enough @omarsultan. So here’s a video of the feature in a 3/Y -

My assumption is you could have anyone sit in the back, unbuckled and attempt to change the seat belt alert to a child seat via the touchscreen. Let me know if that’s not clear.

Will check

Well I hope you’re right for the sake of all the people who’ve been waiting a looooooong time. I’m concerned about my almost 8 week order being blank, I can’t imagine the frustration of people who’ve been waiting 7 or 8 months.

UPDATE:
Original order Feb 12 - Plaid S/ MSM/ Black Int/ CF/ 21' Delivery date of June for weeks now
New Order June 13- PlaidS/MSM/ Black Int/ Wood trim/ 21' Delivery date of "June" just updated to 21st-30th.
Feels like CF is certainly the hold up, and my wood trim order from 3 days ago is going to come before my order 6 months ago.

What was the date he gave you for test drives? I asked this week and was told they were shooting for August. Will be interesting to see at what point they prioritize cars for test drives over delivery.

South Texas, he was shooting for two to three weeks. I feel pretty confident in that due to his new role - he is responsible for assisting sales and deliveries in Central US region outside of showrooms.

Its better than the 7-series. Car and Driver measured the 750i at 66dB at 70mph. Even 1dB is significant as its a logarithmic scale.

I am not sure the Apple Watch is the best tool, it's just what I have handy. I think the frequency profile also matters in terms of how objectionable the noise is. I used to have a spectrum analyzer app on my phone--let me dig it up and do some more runs when I can.

Perhaps too soon to ask BUT does it handle as well (or close to) the Taycan?

 

[Drew-MS]

Since I ordered the car I have never been assigned a SA or spoke with one. Do i just call my local dealer and try and talk with them?

Hugo Veronica was very helpful. He can assign you a SA.

Ouch! That "August" is sticking pretty hard for the last 4 days!

Have they delivered any CF cars yet? Doesn't look like anyone has a vin for a CF car based on the tracking sheet.

Sucks they won't let us switch to CF without the price increase.

Watch the Laguna Seca lap 130.3. Most people aren’t familiar with hot laps and how impressive that is. It’s 2-3 seconds faster than a 2020 911 GT3RS, a 2021 911 Turbo S, a Lamborghini Evo, etc. It’s beyond impressive for a sedan. It should give the Taycan a legit smackdown.
Not to mention the Plaid has been improved since the 130.3 lap.

I've seen some folks ordering the wood option. Interesting that wood is NOT an available option in Canada at this time and that carbon interior is standard....

That date is useless right now, I wouldn't worry about it until you get a VIN. Mine has been all over the place, sometimes sticking for weeks. Today, it's blank (for the 3rd time).

They're only showing up if you don't have white interior and cf. Anyone with white interior is not getting anything this month. Definitely end of July or August. Getting frustrated with it

Then I'm about a month late for my VIN...

I don't think the white matters, lots of the the delivered cars and cars with VINs have white interior.
