Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Drew-MS]

Since I have placed my order 8 days ago I can't sleep. This is getting addicted to reading this thread 24/7 and then after another screaming "I GOT A VIN" start checking Tesla Account

Why someone getting a car in 1 month but others are waiting a few months just getting their VIN... which will disappear later from the account

Welcome to our world

 

[HumanInput]

FINALLY!!!!

Got a VIN, Delivery day and time!!!

I think it's a monkey joke! Can't be real!

I guess I can be happy for you Fine… congrats, you have the best configuration!

Because that’s Elon’s customer service strategy called, “Lack Thereof”

Supercharging was much faster at V3 than my old 2015 Model S 85D as one would expect. And I could have made the 4 hour trip home without charging but after 2 hours in the car, I need a rest room break so might as well do it at a Supercharger. A full charge was 340 miles on 21" Arachnoids.

Better tell us which cheat code did you use to get the car delivered in 1 month from ordering?

It's definitely a game to match what's shipping. Glad I switched from CF to ebony wood.

ikr! I never thought I will be getting so many questions during the car buying process. I bought my previous and 1st tesla from local Foard dealer tho

Congrats. I have the same config and ordered two days after. Fingers crossed. Two questions, did you have a EDD prior or Blank? Did you get an email/text with the VIN?

Thank you and apologies for the slow reply, I’ve been away from the computer today. My EDD status was blank before I received a VIN and I only received an email, no text at all. Good luck and I hope you get your VIN soon!

Nah! Regardless, the option should be there and will come in real handy for early adopters and for people like me
Let's not support Tesla for take away options that are useful to some of us.

@EVonly I have no idea why you would disagree with this sentiment. An option others like, but you don't, and you disagree that others should have it? I could understand not agreeing with something that affects you, but clearly this affect no one that doesn't want it, but everyone who does.

MarG is your guy for track analysis. I'm especially looking forward to his feedback on modifications as he makes them and how they affect handling at the limit on the track.

What I will be doing is finding out exactly how the plaid handles from a grip at each end standpoint at street speeds. It's like doing a stall sequence in a new plane; I'm a firm believe in knowing car balance before I'm in a situation where I need to KNOW a car's balance . I'm also looking forward to fully understanding what Tesla is doing with torque steer both on corner entry and exit. Someone else has already posted that the car's stability control pulls power when there is steering input. Hopefully it is not like my ole M5 that called no joy once you even thought about turning the steering wheel. If the Plaid is anything like my PD, it will not like trail braking one bit and you will need a bit of right pedal. I can assure you that there is enough right pedal on available on the 2015 P90DL to completely piss off the front tires on corner exit even with the front motor pulling away.

Sounds like very helpful info. I’d like to follow your lead with some of the mods you choose

New LR owner, what'is the indicated range when fully charge?

There are a few folks here who got a car in a week or less after ordering lol.
Not even joking

 

[Kdogasu]

For those who have rcvd their cars. I got a text asking to confirm I want to take July delivery and to confirm my home address for delivery. Does this mean I will get a vin and a date for delivery soon?

Happy to have the option if people want it but it's a minor thing to get used to and it improves range, I don't really think it's necessary to be able to turn it off. It took me maybe 20 minutes of driving to adjust after I switched it on in my 2016.

First order was LR on 1/29/21 and sold my 2015 MS in early February. Converted to Plaid on 5/25 as many on this tread did. Code was MSM, Cream with Walnut, 21"Arachnoids, FSD and maybe being on the East Coast.

OK, back from the spa:

• OptiCoat Pro+ on all painted surfaces and the face of the wheels (not the barrels)
• I ended up doing something different than I said I would do--I got 55 on the sides and back and 70 on the windshield
• XPEL PPF on the headlights and foglights

I was thinking the same..maybe 185

Possibly if it really holds power up there. The aero is good so it’s got that going for it. Generally I’d see about 30-35mph from 1/4 trap to 1/2 in most cars I’ve ran.

That is a damn good looking car!

I honestly couldn't care less about range while in the local area. I won't drive more than 45 miles a day. I like options. Being able to adjust the feedback of regen was something I was looking forward to. I know that after awhile I will leave it at max regen, but taking away the choice is a loss of an option.
