Wiki Model S Delivery Update

I got to drive a Plaid for a few minutes, including one (non-Dragstrip-mode) launch. It was so awesome at the time, but now I'm painfully aware of what I'm missing every day as I stare at the part of my reservation screen that used to say "Estimated Delivery: July".

Side note: My wife just told me to take the last 2 days of July off and pack a suitcase for a birthday surprise. This virtually ensures I will get a delivery date then, lol.
Hahahaha yeah you're screwed!
 
I got tired of rumors about delays and etc on the internet and was driving close to my delivery center and I have stopped by.
I have made some friends there during my previous ownership of MX and I was able to get more info about deliveries and when I’ll get my car.

Basically guys there were really nice and told me since Q3 is just started they have not been pushed to deliver lots of cars and currently they said factory is making cars without deliveries, just stocking them up and will deliver massively when August hits. Probably closer to September.

I have noted that my EDD still says July and asked them if they can take a look on my profile which they’ve agreed to do :)

Also told me they have delivered LR with 19” already. Also they have delivered alredy cars with any exterior and interior colors. Basically they said they can’t see any delays for specific configurations.

about my order, they told me that seems like I supposed to get a car last week of July. which is really good news and I hope to believe this. Renting a car is not my favorite thing :)

Also, I have asked about posts on the internet that people were pushed to accept delivery in a short period even without proper notice. They told me this is the only “the end of the quarter” thing when they need to make numbers... So basically if you will be scheduled to accept delivery at the end of the quarter you don't have time to think, just have to do it or the car will be matched with another customer.

I hope it helps.
 
Just wanted to let people know: I had an 8 in sub with a 500 watt dedicated amp in the rear added and it makes a world of difference in the sound. Sounds more like my m3p now, but with more bass. Also got a radar detector installed because it’s physically impossible to go the speed limit unlike my Prius which is physically impossible to exceed the speed limit lol. (I put it in the rear lower trunk and it is easily removable.)
Excellent input. I’m going to copy your 500 w amp addition. I am totally into the MP3 music source as well. I’ll stay away from a radar detector for now hoping it will make me stay under warp speed. BTW, the Raiders should have stayed in NorCal.

What's your color/interior configuration? Just curious since you're expecting July delivery.
 
Well after 9 months of waiting, grey hairs, and a lot of anxiety.... my car was born at 4:30 AM this morning and is being put on a truck later today. Delivery on Sunday. Finally! (PS - changing to 21's works and didn't put me further back in line. At least for me.)
Congrats! That makes it at least two of us who got their orders after switching to 21's

that's great but nobody has actually seen a LR with 19"s yet
 
When they started delivering Model3, it was chaotic. Similar as what we have here but worst. Instead of delivering 1000s of cars, it was many 10,000s. Tesla had to buy their own delivery trucks and it was confusion at its best. I had people ordering car and receiving them in a few weeks while people like me waited for 1000days. People were pissed. Terrible.

However, once the delivery really started it went quite fast and in a matter of a few weeks it seemed like everyone got their car and the forum (not TMC) went really silent real quick. A few of us where left waiting (but I'm in Canada and to Tesla's defense, I had changed the color of my car a few months before my delivery date).

There are a lot less MS that need to be delivered in comparison and these are high profit cars for Tesla so it makes sense that they will finda way to get the cars out. Yeah it seems like everything is going incredibly slowly, but in a matter of a few weeks, this forum is gonna be dead silent when everyone is out driving.

Hang in there, it'll be over and done quickly.
I talked to my SA and he said they are expecting a big batch of cars mid Aug (in IL) and 🤞 mine is on that batch. EDD used to be 10-14 Weeks --> July --> and stayed Aug for a 2 months now. First Tesla so need to get my 220V line and other stuff ready for the baby to arrive at home... o_O:p
 
Any more details or pictures? I'm curious

Yes the set up is easy to quickly remove the sub and the amp is hidden. The sound install guy had to learn in the fly since it is a brand new car. He said it had to do with the battery which is not your typical 12v and then told me a plethora of info, (that I promptly forgot), about how he had to get a switcher for it to step up the voltage for the radar detector. He also explained the sub and amp install but it was above my pay grade. But it is doable. Was a pretty cheap upgrade and I am so much happier with the sound.

@omarsultan : I remember reading few posts back that you changed a window glass or had scheduled a service window to get it replaced?
I was wondering how it went. The window tint shop cracked one of my window so I have scheduled an appointment to get it replaced. Apparently, the new Model S glass is different and I want to make sure they install the right one.
No drama--mobile tech came by, found the issue with the wind noise, ordered a new part and is coming back net Friday to replace it. The only pain is I have to go back to my tint place to get the replacement re-tinted.

Nice. Unless the new 22-speaker 920W Tesla audio system is somehow inferior to the audio system of the previous 2020 MS P, I think it should be quite adequate for most people. I had a phenomenal 15-speaker 825W Meridian audio system in my previous Jag I-Pace HSE EV and it was the best oem car audio system I've ever heard and had in a car...loved it. People here on TMC who already have their MS Plaids say the new 920W Tesla audio system w/ noise cancellation is also excellent; I'm a bit surprised you say you needed another powered subwoofer but hey, you must have a very discerning ear I guess and to each, his/her own. Cheers! :cool:

btw -- gotta give you a little poke on your V1 radar detector...I had one for years and loved it but geez, Valentine's design is so outdated...it just looks like it's from the 1980's...and I suppose it is 😜 ; the guy has hardly changed the design of it since although the internals are awesome. I've been using a 2019 Escort Max 360 for a couple years now and it's excellent...not quite as accurate as the V1 and a bit large and heavy (although the suction cup design is very good and stays up on the windshield 99% of the time although I usually slide the radar detector off the bracket when parked in direct, hot S FL sun these days)...but it looks like a more modern design and functions fairly well with the arrows and early alerts.
