Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[SoCalrancher]

Is it possible that while the website shows 19” summer tires, they still will ship all season to locations/climates that will need them? And locations like SoCal and Florida would get summer tires? I’m thinking that they just can’t show every configuration on the website. May be wishful thinking? I realize it makes logistics more difficult.

The P ZERO is only made as a Max Performance Summer tire. The photos I took were a Florida location. The P Zero has horrible tread wear so you will be able to put your own tires on pretty quickly. The Michelin below is what my next set will be.

Does anyone remember who got the upgrade to arachnids for free and was able to get his car sooner? Trying to find that post.

It’s very surprising that a refresh had the nerve to show up with those silver aerocaps. Nothing makes sense to me anymore

I agree. I thought the car was @dfinn1 car but he said it was not his. He has a VIN and is expecting delivery.

I added FSD a while ago, and my ETA had gone to blank for maybe a month after that. I then changed to 21s which took effect yesterday morning, and got a VIN later in the day.

I maybe getting close the a VIN. My reservation number is 1146. The highest a saw before yours was 1144.

@lolachampcar do you have any insights as to any potential differences between LR’s and Plaid’s suspension? I’m really hoping they brought the “plus” suspension back for Plaid!

Marc,
The only insight I have, if you can call it that, is that Tesla hates differences. If they can put the same thing on all S', it has been my experience that they will. My guess is there is but one set of dampers and air springs for the LR and Plaid. Any differentiation would then come from settings allowed in the user interface.

Again, just a guess from what I have seen in the past. They started off having different valving for the S coil, S air and P air and finally morphed into a single damper for air (while dropping the springs?? - I've not seen that as an option for some time now).

It was @uthatcher

It hasn't happened yet, I'm working on it. Although I'd say I feel ~80% confident it is happening.

Why? It doesn’t matter at all.

Any time you make a change to the order, it changes your “order date” which could effect delivery, since now you are getting a different car. There is a chance one already built matches your configuration, but not guaranteed. Therefore you are back in the system as iF it was a fresh order. The RN doesn’t matter. There are people ordering cars literally 2 weeks ago and got delivery, with much higher RN numbers. People with lower RNs that order late last year you would think would be first in line, but that’s not the case. It’s your build configuration and logistics that seems to be how the system prioritizes orders.

The website now shows July for 21" but shows 19" will begin deliveries in August.
My June 26-30 expected delivery seems to have been fictions from the beginning.
So, I am going back to Rio on the first flight out. I'll expect to pick up my car sometime late in August.
I'm a trifle irritated but not surprised.

Its been that case for a few days now. Hopefully that will apply to new orders and not existing ones. Its a longshot but one can only hope!

 

[BrandonLive]

In your case it didn’t matter. It’s abundantly clear it has mattered with some other orders.

Can you provide an example? I strongly suspect there’s a different explanation for what you’ve seen. It doesn’t make any sense in the world for the revised order date to matter, they are sorting by reservation number not by date.

Sounds fishy to me

 

[Aaaaaaa!]

Glad to see that more VINs are landing! Anyone have their car wrapped / PPF’ed yet? I’m trying to find replacement for the plaid emblem. Anyone have any luck tracking one down?

This is completely wrong. When you make a change it may affect your delivery date for sure, but it seems clear that you do not move to the back of the line if you keep your reservation number.

People with lower RNs *and different configurations* are still waiting, and of course location plays a significant role as well. But within a particular configuration and location, it seems that order date doesn’t matter, RN does.

When most of us ordered, we didn’t know about the delays for CF, white int, 19s...
It’s only recently, the site tells you what NOT to order if you want a car quickly.
Go with a plaid in black or msm, black/cream w wood, 21s

Website shows June for Plaid with black interior no matter what type of wheels for me right now. Slides to August for white interior.

Everyone is picturing an orderly line with regards to RN# and whatnot when they should be picturing this:

Yes, that's me. See posts above. It has not been absolutely locked in yet, but I spoke with Fremont today and the words were it's "100% guaranteed". And I do have a delivery appointment for 6/30. The person from Tesla told me to hold off on making final payment until the update happens in my account, likely tomorrow.

Ok. Well I do hope that happens for you. They did honor My 2k discount for ordering back in December
