Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Needsdecaf]

But it
Stinks
Vibrates
Makes you go to gas stations
Has oil which must be warmed before you can abuse it
Probably has to be "started" whatever that is

Doesn't stink.
Vibrations add character
Gas station's I'll give you
Warming up an ICE gives you time to bond.

Old ways aren't always bad when you're buying a pleasure car. I'll never own another ICE daily driver if I can help it. But I enjoy the 3k miles / year I put on my pleasure car!

I wanted to be fair and let people draw their own conclusions... Call me snarky, lol

Doesnt that cost you 10,000 extra due to the price increase?

Yes, from my original order. I never got the call to change my CF to Wood. I am leasing the car and it did not really effect the lease quote from the original order.

Most certainly does stink, have you been behind one when under full throttle?

Looking at that LR - just me or is that big butt from the Plaid a little less, uh, "thicc" (sorry) on the LR?

Really looking forward to some comparisons on dimensions. Also wondering if the LR will claw back some of that cargo space. 1 car household here, so part of the selling process for the other half was "it's basically a station wagon"!

Hopefully all the August estimates are temporary and will switch again like they’ve been doing. Only thing is we have 9 days left for our so “June” delivery.

We're a one car household and the S is the best hauler short of the X.

The Plaid and LR are the same dimensions. Same exact car (besides the tri-motor) except for the little spoiler.

Ok
I have to admit I have one of those pleasure things myself.
You just can not beat the handling on a 3000 lb car.

Just got this update today:

LR/FSD/White int/White ext/19" Ordered Jan 10th, Nevada.

Has been blank since March except for one blip where it said June.

You're a frequent poster so I assume you're almost certainly right / know more than me, but is this 100% confirmed? If so, are the internal dimensions confirmed to be the same as well? Thanks!

Yes, they're called cats, and generally they work pretty well.

What the heck was Tesla doing if the lines were ready in February??? How could the lines be shut down for 6 months for a front bumper and interior refresh? That’s insane and makes no sense. And the X? Wtf?

 

[croman]

Well, something that @omarsultan said during a livestream with Tesla Owners UK was that all the Model S' came with the metal pedals.

It definitely could've changed. I don't mind the rubber pedals.

Very true! Took mine out yesterday and stuffed the kids in the back. my 5'10" son was not amused. LOL.

 

[Kdogasu]

That wood is a non-starter for me, if that’s supposed to be ebony. Looks terrible with the black interior.

There's this thing called a global auto parts supply shortage going on. Particularly with microchips.

Also, it's Tesla. They could re-invent a car in 6 months or take a year to change paint colors. Predictability is not their strong point.

could be just lighting/white balance too, the seats and even the rubber gasket look brownish

Gotta agree. Black interior in general looks bad to me. White looks way better.

I guess the darker you tint your windows, the darker it will look, though.
