Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[MarcG]

Just received the VIN for my Red MS LR this morning.

But unfortunately I'm out of town for a month and can't take the delivery.

What an irony!

Hope someone with the same config gets this!

Raise your hands if you have the same config as mine.

Congrats! I see you’re in Mountain View. Are you picking up at the factory?
Also, what are the 3 digits after MF in your VIN? 43 something? The “something” gives us a clue as to how recently it was built.

I am nervous about the splitter. I may add a camera or some other nasty DIY solution, because I cut it close multiple times.

Raise the suspension when concerned about curbs. Problem solved!

Yeah, in Mountain View and picking up from Fremont.

And it’s 435XXX

There it is, I was surprised you didn’t take the bait in your first posting, but I just had to be patient for the edit. I’m not the one “butt-hurt” here lol.

You've been IGNORED, dipsh!t man-child.

Wow, hope this guy’s day gets better. If he could just ignore more people, it might not take so much effort to follow this thread. I just want quality info, not sift through a bunch of puffy chested keyboard vomit. You literally don’t have to comment on everything.

Carry on.

Nothing is quite as satisfying as waiting several months for a car to arrive, driving it for a couple of days, and then dropping it off at service for several weeks to fix all the issues they screwed up from the EOQ rush!

Are they giving you a loaner car? I sincerely hope so!

 

[Hayseed_MS]

Been blank for a few weeks. Woke up to August

Sounds like some nights in college...

One side isn't bad, but the passenger side rear is misaligned badly. I don't see how it would be fixable since the panel lines up on the very top of the door, but the chrome trim is way off. I will send this pick to my service advisor and see what he says.

Looks to me the door is misaligned. Top right of door trim looks to be (a little less) than a quarter of an inch higher than the trim on the panel near the seat.

Lol pot meet kettle. Everyone relax.

Yes, they gave me a Model S75D for the next couple of weeks.

Been told that guy is a real tool. No reason to pick fights on here. Complaints? Yeah we all complain about Tesla's process and business practices but at the end of the day, we're all here as car enthusiasts and wanting to get our refresh MS Plaids or LRs. I've been waiting since 2/5/21 and that douche wants to pick a fight with me about radar detectors? Seriously? How impish. Perhaps his wife refuses to su* his putz and he's just an angry, frustrated man-child? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

@sflgator and @tibook - can your two companies get you a room?

I'm now at 3000 miles on the odometer and still my Plaid hasn't caught fire. I drove very fast, I did a bunch of random launches, and I even went through a few affluent neighborhoods, but not even a puff of smoke.

Jokes aside, the car is phenomenal. This thing is the epitome of a "grand tourer". It is so smooth and predictable, and the cornering is unnaturally good. I generally use autopilot for these long drives, but the car is so good that I was hands-on driving most of the time. five-stars-would-buy-again

The key to the Plaid bursting into flames is having a short hedge position

I thought it was having a good lawyer.

Hi all, I am new to Tesla and just ordered a Plaid yesterday. Moving from my modified GTR so going to be different. At first website said a deliver date of September but after I completed the order it changed to July. Will see what happens.

Configuration is Plaid Blue/Black/Wood with 21 inch wheels. Vin suggests it's been built already as the fourth last digit is 3. I'll see if I can figure out my signature. I'm new here.

Thanks, I'm holding tight for now but I don't think it should take 2-3 weeks to ship the car across the country, seems like maybe it's one of those just sitting in the lot for months. Maybe I'm wrong though I'll ask my SA.

Whelp asked by SA and he confirmed car has finished production, and they are working to deliver the car to Virginia (Where I live). Seems to confirm by proxy that they have started moving the car, though the specific wording of the email seems ambiguous.

Hopefully the logistics team can get it here soon. Looking around here and at the spreadsheet not a lot of people in Virginia ordering these cars, I suspect that's the major factor in the delay.

Funny. I honestly am happy for him that he has a successful business even though it was uncessary to divulge all that (I didn’t read through that diatribe but was completely expecting it), the world is full of people tearing other’s success down. I don’t want to be that. However, he literally has to comment on everything and most of it is not worth the text its taking up on my screen. I just corrected him, and he took offense. Guess he’s not used to that. I don’t know. I’m sorry to have done my own part to derail this thread. But his tirade is pretty ridiculous and I’m sure its just exposing him for who he really is. I’m not the “tool” here.

It really is exhausting to try to sift through 20+ pages a day just to get a few nuggets of helpful information!

For those of you that purchased dragys, where did you mount them?
