Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[rhuber]

One more great stat from the MT article:

"The Model S Plaid with 21-inch wheels uses 2.5 percent of its battery to finish a quarter-mile run on a racing dragstrip"

visiting there end of October, hopefully the weather stays nice

October is a great time to visit. Typically great weather.

Resin shortages continue to affect composites supply chain

Power outages caused by mid-February’s U.S. winter storms led to immediate shortages from Gulf Coast petrochemical companies. Fabricators continue to report shortages.

I wonder if this is still an issue and that's what is affecting CF trim

I posted that article about a month ago. @AnselmDante wasn’t convinced it made a difference. For those of us that have been here several months, everyday begins to feel like groundhog day because the same topics just continue to get recycled.

Just got the call from Tesla to switch to wood from my CF order. He said I’d have to wait until August if I didn’t switch, so I switched and now my car will be here by the end of June.

Is anyone buying aftermarket wheels? I really want to get HRE FlowForm wheels but it doesn't seem to fit the car.

Friend of mine picking his car up on 25.06 Plaid Black, Wood, Arachnids.

I had no idea what 25.06 was until I saw the attachment. Are Americans the only ones that list the month before the day?

I'm still thoroughly annoyed that Tesla hadn't procured enough CF way back when (Dec, 2020, Jan, 2021-Feb, 2021) to produce, idk, say 3,000+ refresh Tesla MS with carbon fiber trim? Geez...whomever in their Purchasing Dept (if they even have one...perhaps Hanz or Franz is doing the procurement as well or maybe some Tesla intern???? ) should be reprimanded for not forecasting & procuring enough materials many months ago (especially when the deliveries were supposed to start in March, 2021)!!! Poor planning.

In Ottawa, Canada. Had a Plaid+ on order that just converted to Plaid (no phone call, nothing. lol). July estimate. White on black.

Will cancel the Plaid order I placed 06/06/2021 that had August delivery.

I was convinced the article you posted from NINE YEARS AGO did not make a difference.

Can anyone with their car delivered comment on the sound system? How does it compare to the 3, Y and old S?

It was actually 16 years ago, but who is counting?

You may already know, but to those who do not: The wood on the black interior is a darker wood than the one found on white interior. Keep in mind if you're trading your carbon fiber to wood on your black interiors.

and use the Imperial system? probably

Let's be real. Is there a line?! Omar ordered his plaid just weeks before the event. Somebody here taking delivery in Florida ordered a week ago.

Yeah but Omar is a celeb.

HRE wheels are designed right here in San Diego. Great company and even better wheels. What do you mean the FlowForm wheels don’t fit the car? Do you mean you don’t think they look right aesthetically? HRE has versions that are compatible with the MS

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?

I’m at blank, but two days ago I was at June 21-30 and Tesla (via text) said eom too.
