Wiki Model S Delivery Update

You, can but the view is different. When you are in reverse, the rearview cam takes over the entire screen--this is really pretty awesome and give a better FoV than looking out the rear hatch. If you are in drive , you can still keep the camera up, but is windowed and nav, etc are still visible.

Just out of curiosty (never owned a Tesla). When you signal left or right can you set the corresponding left or right camera to also automatically display? Kind of like a blind spot monitor?

VIN!

Woke up this morning to having a VIN on my account with June 29-30 for estimated delivery. So far no email or other documentation on the account other than the VIN and date, but it's progress! Hopefully the date holds.

If you could condense the above into a tweet to Elon, he needs to hear the

No - with all other Tesla’s the left and right cam are only visible in reverse or by pressing the camera button that will then display the picture Omar posted with all 3 views. (rear view, left, and right). It’s interesting that the reverse view defaults to rear only without the side cameras. That is different than all other current Tesla’s.

I need to correct your statement re California being bankrupt. It has a $75 Billion budget surplus.
California has a staggering $75.7B budget surplus

Nice! It's all the legal weed they're selling!!! I believe CO has been way, way, way in the green (on many fronts) for many years since they legalized rec weed.

This is probably the biggest thing for me and it sounds like Tesla made the camera view even better. Really happy with that and thanks, as always, for the informative response with pictures illustrating the differences.

The S really needs the Backup view on all the time for me and a larger reverse view is very welcome.

I’m taking delivery tomorrow of a plaid. I’m going to install a radar detector but I heard there is metal in the windshield that suppresses the radar signal. I was wondering if this is still a problem in the new modelS. If so I will have to do a custom installation in the front bumpy. Any suggestions?

My two teslas were before the sounds were enabled... How are they disabled easily?

You remove 3-4 push locks in the wheel well and unplug it throws no error codes

I think it’s simply a setting. The black box in the upper left hand corner should enable it and thus remember your settings.

@omarsultan or anyone that has their Plaid. Sorry if this was answered before, but I drive my S with the backup camera open all the time. Is that still an option with the new UI and horizontal screen?

It is on the Model Y, so I imagine same on the new S

I don't understand what's going on other than someone's suggestion that white is on some kind of backorder. We're seeing all these VIN"s being assigned for orders well after others. But the theme of black interior does seem to be true so far as the only kind they are delivering right now so far. With my luck I'll get a vin and delivery date while I'm on vacation.

1142xxxx Late Nov 2020, blue/white FSD ....still have nothing on delivery in my order page- blank after a brief June1-30 stint maybe 1 month ago. Otherwise been blank a long, long time.

I see MT really leaning into this story line--while I think its a bad idea, I do understand why Elon doesn't maintain a PR team:

Day 375629746 still waiting on a VIN or just an estimated delivery date . Happy for you all getting them though! I hope to get some news before 7/3 as we are traveling from FL to Hawaii for a week and dont want to miss a delivery window.

It is coated but their is a cutout in the bottom right corner for EZ-Passes and the like--not sure about radar, as its been a while since I have had one.

This morning went from June29-30 to “BLANK”

 

[Crb003]

So I got the call on Thursday to switch order from CF to wood. The person said it would push my delivery up to hopefully before EoQ or at least within the next few weeks. This morning I had blank delivery. Now it’s saying August…..WTF..!!! I hope this is an error, or I would t of switched to the wood…

anyone else see this as well?

Was the SA able to tell you where the car is? For example, if it’s still on a train, or if it has now been loaded onto a transport truck? As

Train. The train is due to arrive the 24th. She said ifthere are plenty of car carriers then 25th to delivery center and 26th delivery day. She is at a different location as that is where I test drove an S. The transportation route to both that gallery and my delivery center are the same as far as timing in her experience.

A friend of my dog’s cousin told me they overheard this conversation in Fremont, which I think explains everything:

Elon: “EoQ push!!! How we doing with the [production] line?”
Jake (not from State Farm): “Paint is taking a while boss, multi coat ya know, we do it multiple times on these ones and we do it once on the others.”
Elon: “Make the calipers black! Does that fix it?”
Jake: “Uhh…no, what? The whole car, we can’t multi coat paint it.”
Elon: “No one buys Red and White anyway, people are INSIDE the vehicle Jake, can they even see what color it is?”
Jake: “We have the UI screen show a mock-up inside the vehicle, I think”
Elon: “We’ll get rid of that, no one uses it based on data, one week max, but definitely within two weeks plaid speed.”
Jake: “Yes…of course, so no whites and reds, okay? And, I saw the website still shows June but we’re running three shifts and already behind, so…”
Elon: “EoQ push!!! The limbic resonance…mmmm…”
