Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[bmt00]

If you can afford a $100,000 car(and lose a lot of its value in the first 5 years) I am not sure how you say you can’t afford solar that will pay itself off in 7-10 years(in most cases). What was the payback period to make you decide it was not worth it?

I install my own off grid solar for work, love solar. However, some houses have too much shade. If you're planning to move soon (I am) it's not worth the investment. I love solar but it doesn't fix everything and it's not always appropriate.

When 19s ?

That moment when your friend posts a picture of his friends and family at the beach, but you notice something else...

Ugh... I'm totally that person.

Now where's my car!?

With deliveries being held at SC’s because of a software update, I wonder how production and VIN assignments are doing at the factory. Seems a lot of activity has come almost to a standstill…wonder when that will change (September for EoQ push again)?

what do you mean?

Normally, power bills are set up in two primary sections: Generation and distribution. You get to shave the generation piece. The distribution is being used by you, both ways, incoming and outgoing. 9 cents could be correct for generation average with 7 cents or distribution.

ROI will be super challenging without shaving the peak use rates. It sounds like NJ may not have variable rates based on peak pricing.

Thanks, I spent more time looking up last night. I’ve also read here. Using time of day COULD save me $30 a month or so, or swing in the other direction. Basically doesn’t seem worth it to me.
clear as mud!

I know this is not page A1 news story, but surprised some of the trade magazines that monitor the car industry and in particular EV industry have not delved into the 19” tire story. Seems like some reporters would have decent connections at the factories and management and something could leak. Even if no leak, seems like a story enough for someone to look into.

In response to a very direct question I was told Tesla had 19" fitments at the end of May for June builds/deliveries. Subsequently they were precluded from using them by a situation beyond their control. I did not dig deeper into that "situation" as it was none of my business. I was simply trying to determine if Tesla could make good on their promise to deliver a Plaid in June at the time they made the promise given 19" wheels/tires is the stated reason they missed. Put differently, did they have them and could they use them when they promised a June delivery.

Even with a VIN my estimated delivery date keeps getting pushed back every day

Glad you are looking at it. The TOU strategy for the consumer is to adjust the majority of usage to the lowest cost period. From the supplier's standpoint, they are trying to provide incentive toward consuming during off-peak periods. If you are able to move to off-peak, you will save on both generation and delivery.

For the rates you have listed, do these have time ranges or are these use tiers?

what do you mean?

There’s been several people who were supposed to take delivery over the weekend to only be told their car is being held due to a ‘issue’ that is beyond the control of the delivery center. Supposed to be fix via a software release sometime this week. So the individual you quoted is wondering how that will effect potential VIN assignments this week and potentially beyond.

Tsportline finally has plaid/LR wheels but none in 19" and all more expensive than the arachnids. It's still summer but winter is coming and I'm going to need some different wheels and tires.

When 19s ?

Two weeks lol, duh

Something tells me this promised 1000 cars a week isn’t happening. Between CF and 19s I’m almost positive if I don’t become an EOQ push delivery at the end of September, I won’t see my car until EOQ push in December.

Same here, hang in there.

When 19s ?

I got the deadly combo, 19s with white interior so there is no hope for me and others like me

Something is going on with Tesla but they are not communicative like always. I hope it's a software issue and they send an update to unlock all the refresh S features. Fingers crossed.

I hope you are right. Maybe they'll finally add the Witcher and Cyberpunk. That would be a nice surprise for delivery.

I don’t understand why the places with the cheapest electric rates don’t have the highest EV adoption rates

Because cheap electric rates don’t correlate to tax credits and most folks aren’t buying $50,000+ cars which, in reality, is the cost of a new Tesla most of the time. Sucks but true.

This “software hold” happened with the Ys last quarter and it was not fun. Tesla doesn’t hold cars for typical software updates - they can do OTA anytime. Last quarter with the Y it was for updates related to homologation (specifically the TV radar less cars). For us S folks, I hope they’re adding and not taking away pieces.

Someone may have already mentioned that but I get lost here as I step away for five minutes and there are 100 new posts!

September. I always hated back to school, so this is the first time in my life I am looking forward to September.
