Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[omarsultan]

Omar, been silently following your story. Congrats on the car.

I have a humble request. Can you post a large res photo of your Plaid emblem as straight on as possible? I am going to 3D print one for my Plaid (if it ever arrives).

Huge thanks!

Sure, as long as you are not selling them commercially--let me dig out my tripod so there is no shake--stay tuned

I forget if it was Omar’s car that was used or Tesla Raj that showed that the screen is not tight to the dash. There’s a gap and it wiggles.

Not mine--he was going to come out, but found a car closer.

My SA has ghosted me for the past month. Maybe he quit?

I sent an email to my SA couple of days ago. I received an auto reply:
"I am currently out of the office until 5/21/2021. If you have any questions please contact the Santatna Row office"

Guess he didn't return to work and change his OOO status. Also note that it should be Santana Row, which suggests that he might have been given only a couple of minutes to pack up.

The June estimate only shows up once in a while on my pre-refresh 2020 order. My other LR order (exactly same config) placed on 01/27 never got a date so far. Some SA told me a couple of weeks ago that having no date is actually better than a future placeholder like August/September. Hmm...the many mysteries of Tesla logistics.

Still blank over here for a while now... really hoping this is true! But also secretly fearing that ole officer Rick accidentally deleted our orders! Tesla not even offering us donuts!

My SA said same on blank date.

My delivery date changed to August after being blank for a month. I’m guessing it will actually be delivered as part of the Q3 end of quarter push . LR, FSD, Arachnids, Blue, black interior, 3/28/2021

One day later, the EDD is blank again. Perhaps the Monkey was having a fever dream yesterday.

I just heard all badging on new S model will be LR.
LR for Long Range and Plaid gets LR for Less Range

The new model S’s are like pinball. If you refresh your account 10x a day, it tilts

From blank to June 30 - July 14th.

Same here .

For those of you posting only modest increases to your insurance premiums, do you have your collision deductible set fairly high? My Allstate agent quoted me a fairly significant increase which I was planning to mitigate somewhat by maxing out the deductible. I think Tesla allows $2,500.00? My driving record is clean and I've had the same insurance policy for over 25 years so...

Monkey working overtime on my account. Last night my old Plaid+ order was auto-converted to a regular Plaid order and this morning my regular Plaid order (placed on 1/28/21) is now showing June 26-30th after a couple blank weeks. Now I suddenly have two Plaid orders competing with each other. Not sure how best to handle this, I've had no contact from any Tesla SA at any point (which I prefer) but having two identical orders competing seems kinda silly?

When you’re assigned a VIN, just cancel the other order.

Really don’t care for this strange Plaid emblem. Any chance this is just for the first few folks or maybe founders series?

Put in to switch to wood

Told me it won’t increase price

Yes and it was confirmed.

Were you told you would get the car sooner as a result?

Only for first 25 cars. and any losers (like me, lol) who might do it aftermarket?

Hey @TorqueMonster love your new profile pic!

Hey @TorqueMonster love your new profile pic!

Thanks. I am so impressed by that power curve that I just could not resist. I stare at it daily in amazement. lol. There is nothing else like this and why the car is so fast. I think 60-130 mph times are going to be in between 4-4.5. would not be surprised if closer to 4!

I definitely agree with you. Probably low 4 seconds is a great guess. In fact, the 60-130 time is so fast, that I almost want to see a 60-160 time!

When we get to page 2021 we should just take a pause until 2022
