I received a text from my SA telling me they are my SA. I then received another unsolicited text from my SA telling me they don't know anything about my car. That is the only communication they have provided since April.
Rubber shortage affecting Elon's love life?Lol rubber shortage only affecting 19s
So what you're saying is that they've been completely honest with you.
Questionable. Considering Omar's is 431. I would consider sub 431 to potentially be the misfits.
There is a joke in there somewhere...Lol rubber shortage only affecting 19s
Nice. I would make the trip up to get a test drive in one of them. Wonder if/when they will start allowing that
my guess is all 3 are customer cars awaiting pickup
Hi @sam3194, I have way too much respect for you to downvote your comment, but that is rather cynical, don't you think? Yes, we all have the right to be cynical after what we're going though. But FSD must be the most profitable item they have and yet they allow it to be removed while taking delivery.
A reasonable theory regarding Elon's last-minute decision-making... it certainly fits his track record.Hi @sam3194, I have way too much respect for you to downvote your comment, but that is rather cynical, don't you think? Yes, we all have the right to be cynical after what we're going though. But FSD must be the most profitable item they have and yet they allow it to be removed while taking delivery.
There also isn't a demonstrated preference for prioritizing FSD ahead of non-FSD cars.
The evidence I have for this is the tracking spreadsheet:
Refresh Model S Tracking
Model S Model S Refresh Tracking Jokergod2000,RN1145,3/3/2021,August (Q4 2021),August,Plaid,21",Blue,Black,AB Canada,2021-07-31,2021-06-23,21" CF Interior TMC Username,First 4 or 5 of RN,Order confirmed,Initial Delivery Date,Current Delivery Date,Date delivered,Trim (LR/Plaid/+),Wheel size,Color...docs.google.com
It shows that 48.2% of all MS orders on the sheet have FSD ordered (pie chart isn't up to date). 55.6% (15/27) of the cars delivered have FSD, which is not statistically different. If 13/27 had been delivered with FSD it would have been 48.1%. So there is not a large enough sample size to reach a conclusion. The 21" wheels on the other hand do have a cost, so don't contribute nearly as much to the bottom line as FSD would. They couldn't have prioritized FSD ahead of non-FSD in a significant way that would have been much more impactful, but have chosen not to.
The most likely reason for the 19" wheel issue is what we all witnessed on this thread, the silver Tempest wheels were a complete mismatch for the non-chrome effect on the car. It seems to me to have been an oversight that was likely brought to Elon's attention at the 11th hour. He likely made the call to deliver good looking cars later rather than ugly cars sooner. I think we are all better off for that decision. I would have taken the silver Tempest wheels and been unhappy about it. Thank you Tesla for making the change and doing it right!
Other evidence for this being a last minute Elon decision is the delivery event. Here is a shot from @gabeincal's flyover prior to the event with 3 silver Tempest wheeled Plaid's ready for delivery. It appears they were given 21's in their place.

Falcon fuel is used to help us on our journey to become multiplanetary--that's arguably a worthwhile reason to dump GHG's.
I will just leave you with this, from one of his posts after the one you quoted:Hi @sam3194, I have way too much respect for you to downvote your comment, but that is rather cynical, don't you think?

I wonder if those cars on the temp lot still have a charge. I’m new to this But I don’t want a car w a battery already beat down from improper care
Whether we're all in this "together" or we're all in this "to get her", we are all in this to get our amazing alien-tech cars!
Wow--great eyes/memory. Yup the car at the bottom of the top circle is mine and I can confirm from my pics that the black car next to had its wheels swapped for arachnids before the event.Hi @sam3194, I have way too much respect for you to downvote your comment, but that is rather cynical, don't you think?

He was being sarcastic.
