Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[lolachampcar]

What if you tell them, "okay, fine, I'll be right back...and you go to the bank and come back 20 min later with $146k in CASH, lol! Will they still say, "sorry we cannot accept that as payment. Please transfer your money using this app called Plaid."

My mom got sooooooo upset with the bank one time that she started doing a lot of one cent deposits in the over night drop box. After about three days and a few hundred separate deposits, the bank called her and asked if there was an issue they could work with her to resolve. Love that lady. Polite but steadfast in her understanding of right and wrong.

Just got the new LR tinted with Solar Guard XenithIR-20. I'll have some pics posted later tonight when the lighting is better.

Where'd you get the tint done in Scottsdale? Is 20 legal?

Latest update: My car is at Bellevue but they don’t have much space for deliveries from there. Rather than moving it to Lynnwood and having me go there tomorrow as planned, they offered to deliver to my house today between 4 and 6 and I accepted. Was a little hesitant since it sounds like they drive the car here, but it’s like 10-15 miles and hopefully they’re very careful.

I’ll report back later once it’s here

Errrrr. Photos? Variations being what? Some light grey / silver and some dark grey?

I have been waiting:

• 245 days
• 21,168,000 seconds
• 352,800 minutes
• 5880 hours
• 35 weeks

And my estimated delivery is still "BLANK".
Thanks Tesla.

Good lord. I think you win.

It really takes internal strength when they say "youre looking at a august delivery" not to tell the SA's that they are full of *sugar*

So you got a VIN for a vehicle that hasn’t even finished production yet? Interesting.

That was my initial thought too. How does one get a VIN if the car does not exist?

 

[Sbaimo]

Well my account show another change. went from delivery at 2:00 today to tomorrow between 9-6

it is the 4th change in the past 4 days. I have no idea if it is really coming or still sitting in freemont waiting to loaded. Probably just more bs.

hopefully someone will contact me later. I have reached out to so many different people at
Service center and my sa and get back a bunch of untrue stories I am no longer going to even bother trying to contact anyone. if it is coming tomorrow I will be very surprised. Not a happy customer.

OR OR better yet... "Im tracking your car and it looks to be in the build process" Now how in this heavenly green earth do you know that Scott? Did you just call Elon and ask or are you in the factory looking at it?

 

[cwanja]

That was my initial thought too. How does one get a VIN if the car does not exist?

It ‘does’ if it’s on the line. That number WILL be assigned to that car. And if that car matches your config, or rather we know S and X is built to order, that’s your car and your VIN. Just no specific date to when it rolls off and is delivered to you.

The car is fantastic. You won’t hear much from me for a bit since I will be driving it. A lot. Posting a couple of shots of the white interior. I absolutely love the wood+white look in the black car,

and absolutely recommend it.

At which point does Tesla change their models to the “next year”?

1/1/22. Actually, Tesla has been releasing "next year" models Novemberish the last few years.

Black interior with the ebony wood. Very happy with my choice. Looks much better in person than in the photos.

Okay but take a photo anyway. I’d like to see the ebony wood.

 

[Ormond]

That is sweeeet! These photos make me keep changing my mind—actually they’re all nice. Congratulations and drive it in good health!

Dragy! Dragy! Dragy!

Quick review of the 5 miles I put on it.

Yolk is fine, turn signals are fine, everything is fine but the media scroll. To get forward or backward seems unpolished.
Takes a lot more force to close the doors vs 2018, seems like a very sealed compartment. This is a positive.
Its faster than the 2018, a lot. Did 2 drags and got butterflies, was awesome.
Software is buggy, its rebooted twice on me.
Like all the storage options and 4 wireless chargers.
The rear center fold down has a button to release it, but I can't get it to stay up. Something odd there.
Front license plate mount is already off, no weird bolts with 90 degree needle nose needed. Just some pulling and faith the bumper isn't coming with it.
Needs tint and wrap on the 2 T symbols.
Needs a CF spoiler, will be ordering 1 for previous gen, I bet it fits.

Dragy! Dragy! Dragy!

My Dragy was actually delivered to the place I've been staying in Santa Monica today, but sadly I'm in Illinois to pick up the actual car.

Correction: not sadly, I'd much rather have the car than the Dragy today.

Btw, I'm originally from Peoria, IL, which is about 30 miles from where Rivian's plant lives, and drove right through the area today, so snapped this photo. (Fwiw, I'm rooting for Rivian as well.)

Here's the Plaid (enemy) at the gates. Hopefully it motivates them to get to work on my truck.

There is an amazing Italian place in normal with a tree in the restaurant and great ice cream place one block away. Wonderful downtown. Supercharger is tough to access but offers immediate downtown access
