Wiki Model S Delivery Update

It helps a lot if you buy another Tesla to hold you over…I’m ok with waiting to August for CF and hopefully a few kinks worked out

But I check my page for a VIN every day too lol

I had the same call and decided to wait as well. as hard as it is to wait.

Had the same call from Tesla today asking if I wanted to switch from CF to ebony wood. I liked the CF in my old Model S and heck, I've waited this long, what's another 5-6 months?

Protip: auto refresh plugin for chrome set to every 10 seconds and your order/overview page shrunk down to fit in the bottom corner of your screen, where it is just constantly updating.

Nice to see!
Your Plaid is "en route " ?
Are you from Qc? What is your RN # and color choice?
Mine is LR black/white RN1147 or in april at Qc center. August was blank 2 week ago.

RN1139! White on black Plaid. July estimate.

It’s all I can do to keep up with this thread! Quite irritating actually

How long does it take tesla to update once you make a change to your car ?

Indirectly. I the set the seta to "auto" then the car will decide went to turn go the fan or the heater based on the temp you set, so if you set the car to cool, it should also turn on the seat fans.

I was told today the rear seats, although ventilated, have no fan. I do not think that is correct.

I usually enjoy Engineering Explain's videos, but this time, I thought his thumbnail was total BS, and he was seemingly pointing a finger at Tesla for doing what literally ALL other carmakers do. For example, the new Dodge Super Stock is supposed to run a 3.25 second 0-60, and a 1/4 mile in 10.5 seconds. Is it able to accomplish those stats on unprepped asphalt? NO. You'd be lucky to get a 0-60 in the mid 4s, and a mid 12-13 second 1/4 mile. So saying Tesla failed when the Plaid BEAT Tesla's estimates is total crap. Even the lower trap speed is most likely due to the 163mph speed limiter starting to kick in.
(Rant over lol)

100% agree on this. I think he painted himself into a corner and is trying to get out--he should just own it. Useful measurement is about both accuracy and consistency. If the industry standard practice is 1-ft rollout, then as long as it is disclosed and everyone uses the same thing, who cares? Bitching about it and holding one company to a different standard is disingenuous at best.

The sources I have seen discuss this have stated that the rear seats are perforated, but not mechanically ventilated.

@omarsultan - can you weigh in on this for us?

 

[Jimz25]

Sorry, was talking about for people who ordered the car and are still waiting on Vins. I did the switch from CF to Wood 2 days ago and it hasn’t switched on my log in screen

Not to be a dick here or anything - but I believe even with the 1ft rollout, the Plaid hasn't been measured to hit 1.99 without the dragstrip glue. So I completely agree - if the 1ft rollout is and has been the standard and the plaid hit it in 1.99s no issues there...but I believe motortrend hit it at 2.07s on their usual surface no? its still the fastest car theyve ever tested, but i agree with EE that perhaps claiming 1.99s unnecessarily and needing a bunch of special treatment to get there is a bit misleading at best and not necessary.

Maybe the Octovalve guesses if you need it or not
