I was at the VA(Glen Allen) Delivery Center this weekend. Someone was taking delivery of a Plaid as I chatted with the SA about wall chargers... So Plaids are still going out, so who knows the randomness associated with this "Hold"...

Agree it definitely sounds like something is going on. I had my delivery scheduled for tomorrow and I just got a text saying it was delayed due to ”factory quality team has asked us to inspect and test specific items on your vehicle”. No timing on how long or what issues are.

Has anyone in Texas that has had their car delivered received the registration pack from Tesla? My LR was delivered June 29th and the delivery rep said I should see paperwork via FedEx within two weeks. That has not happened so far. Any advice?
As Tesla regularly does OTA updates, it would be easy to speculate that this is something significant to delay deliveries.
Just saying Hi…been watching this thread since my June MS plaid order. Initial “July” EDD but those butterflies quickly flew off. Now blank of course. Congrats to those with a VIN! 
for EOQ Sep!

I'm in NM and in the same boat, no sign of it.

FWIW I took delivery of my MYLR on 6/25 and still haven't received the packet lol but I think FedEx says it should be here tomorrow finally. Talking a bout a tight window before having to pay the late fees.

At this point, I'm starting to look forward to EOQ deals that let me switch up my configuration for no change in price. ;-) Probably not as likely on the east coast as it is near Fremont.
So it's T+22 no signs. But I just called Tesla and they talked to the local delivery team, said that the vehicle is not quite ready but should be ready before noon today. Will keep you guys posted, if I survived all of these ups/downs delivery day anxieties...

I fully agree. I am purely speculating either: 1) confirming features working with substitute chips (my pure speculation), and/or 2) making sure no unique circumstances that could cause a fire (that whole thing seems fishy to me, no info from NHTSC as far as I know - if real wouldn't every new S be recalled, and NO deliveries at all? The fact that there are SOME deliveries still, tells me there were substitute parts, or maybe something changed on the assembly line (new method, new variance/gap, etc.)
if it was merely software for secondary features (ANC, etc.) those bad boys would go out the door. Instead, something more serious is going on. Could be something simple, like a defective batch of zip ties somewhere and they want to replace (maybe at the SC level) before these cars are in the wild, but I'd love to know what the hard stop is about.

Agreed, something more serious might be at play here.
Totally agreed. If it was just a software update, there'd be no way they would hold up delivery. Gotta be either something serious or, like you said, some batches have new method/hardware substitutions, and they wanted to test/validate. You'd think they wouldn't assigned the VIN and play with customers' hearts like this, but it's Tesla, and we all know they're the expert at that

Might make sense as theres a ton of people in here with dates that push everyday with no updates.

It is actually pretty sad. @elonmusk himself thinks, at least part of FSD, is a joke:

FWIW, and this may be old news already, the updated FSD apparently won't work with the 2016 to 2019 Teslas unless they shell out $1,500 for an updated or upgraded FSD computer.
I think they're going to find themselves on the wrong side of a class action lawsuit, as there was so much stuff put out there, like "all Teslas from X (2016?) and upwards are capable of FSD...."
my prediction - the computer may actually cost Tesla say, 1/2 or $750. I think they'll have to eat it for anyone who has or wants an FSD subscription.
Just my .02, but that is going to look ugly on the balance sheet.
I don't know what percentage get FSD, so if only 20% then not quite as bad. However, with the new subscription model, someone with a 2016 who wouldn't shell out the $10k might very well shell out the $200 to try out for the month. so that would cost Tesla in my speculative math $550 for one month. Maybe they'll require a minimum of 4 months with the subscription if they need to add the computer. that makes sense to me.
still, kinda slimy.
Right thing - need upgraded computer. we said capable of FSD. come in and we'll upgrade. Done. Not sure the Tesla monkey is fair though.
