Wiki Model S Delivery Update

The Black on Black looks stunning. If I would have seen these pictures before, I would have ordered that color!

I got a call this morning for my black on black MS LR, pickup this Monday morning.

4 LR 3 Plaid with one being delivered at the time at WPB today. All black interiors with arachnids.

Man, **** all this noise. Where are all the white interiors at

It’s so odd. Do we really think Tesla was not anticipating the amount of White interior orders?

You’re in Seattle. That means Tesla realized they only have time to deliver Red Plaids to the West Coast in time for EoQ. How to do it? Easy!

1. Seattle first, it only makes sense, it has the space needle and Elon runs SpaceX
2. No place to go but down—up would mean Vancouver and you know why that won’t work
3. Oregon next, send two trucks in case one driver takes a different kind of trip
4. Southern California from there, it takes half a day to get down from Fremont, so prep the truck for Monday, first stop, @HumanInput
5. Northern California is last, no more time left in the month, so whatever local deliveries are available will happen here

How did we not see it before???

this is a great point. All of the streaming services (in my opinion, especially streaming over cellullar) are marginal at best. Cant blame the audio system for poor quality input.

GIGO was the old saying..

Tidal is the streaming service of audiophiles

 

[Moose57]

If we have the high quality Spotify or Apple Music plans, does streaming over BT help or is that also converted to compressed?

Tidal is the audio see ice of audiophiles.

I just got notified that my 2021 Model S Long Range will be ready for pick up on June 30. Two days ago delivery was estimated for August so I was in no hurry to prepare for it. Now I need to sell my 2019 Model S with 16,500 miles quickly. Do you have suggestions on where to advertise it?

I used Carvana--great price and quick

 

[Desert Dave]

For sale section about to be flooded with “willing to swap my 21 for your 19 + cash”

I’d like to play that game! Arachnids 4Sale…

 

[GrnSqrl]

I got a call this morning for my black on black MS LR, pickup this Monday morning.

Order details?? RN? 19” or 21”? Do I really need to ask?

 

[modizzle]

Not likely--the BT is the weak link. There are newer, higher quality codecs available, but not sure what is implemented by Tesla, or (in my case) Apple.

Ever try Tidal?

Yeah, it's insane. And we all know they sell a crap ton of white interior in their cars. I think they were anticipating and even have the material for it but they're busy pumping 3 and Y with that material. After all it's been Tesla's story to *sugar* on customers who are paying twice as much for their cars and give them less for more. Oh well, it's like beating a dead horse. Won't change a thing. Now this crap is starting to really piss me off.

You might want to delete this and send them a direct message instead

good news x2
plaid red per sig below just got a VIN and delivery date of June 28-30.
white plaid per sig has vin and delivery date of July5-15

which comes first?? Gonna be fun to find out!

 

[dfinn1]

Does anybody in South Florida have VIN assigned? I feel so unloved, my SvC says none have arrived in Miami.

Got my VIN about a week and a half ago. I had an initial delivery of June 26 - 30, changed that day to June 18 - 26. Set up delivery for last Tuesday, canceled. Had delivery set up last week, but was canceled as they said they have to change the wheels. Tentative delivery Wednesday I hope

Man, **** all this noise. Where are all the white interiors at

Mine is on a truck somewhere in Iowa.

it's odd, isn't it. I haven't seen any white on white deliveries happen either LR or Plaid beyond the event.

 

[Sigma4Life]

Have any deliveries been confirmed with white seats + carbon fiber?

 

[Hayseed_MS]

I’m not sure the LR will carry its power like plaid. The carbon sleeved rotors is what allows the plaid to keep winding at high rpms plus it has 3 of them. Without that I assume the LR falls off just like the previous MS’s. If it did carry its power like plaid there wouldn’t be almost a whole second in 0-60 times. Also the $50k in difference probably has a lot to do with the carbon sleeved rotors and the machine they had to make for it. CF is expensive and the power difference between LR and Plaid is substantial. LR is still very fast, plaid is just very very fast. Next level.

You are discounting the batteries. There is a reason Tesla is advertising both trims as doing back to back 1/4 mile runs. The Plaid just holds more power overall. The carbon sleeves allows that higher power. The LR motors will hold the power curve just the LR curve will be lower than the Plaid.

 

[Hayseed_MS]

If that kind of performance is the priority, then yes the Plaid would be a better choice. The LR will probably go faster - or even get a boost - than 3.1 and those two (LR and M3P) and are negligibly close. The 3 and S are avocadoes and cumquats comparison in all other areas.

Keep in mind Tesla states that the M3P is 3.1 (with rollout subtracted) and LR is 3.1 (without rollout subtracted).

Btw that m3p time includes roll out the LR model s does not. So the LR model s is like .6s faster.

Do you have me on ignore?

@Hayseed_MS, please see these posts I made a while ago:

Don't wanna downvote you.

LR with white/white appears to be a triple whammy for delivery. I bet you get yours before mine though since you ordered Arachnids.
