Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[DBV1]

I wonder if there is going to be a recall for everyone that has picked up their car already? Must be a serious issue to stop all deliveries. Tesla sure is the worst of communication. Sure does put doubt into buying a Tesla when you are a first time buyer.

And back to blank again. No love for albino builds.

Been following this thread for a while now, figured I’d add my experience too:

- 1/24/21: placed order for Plaid/Black/Black/CF/19” before official refresh announcement, which got converted to Plaid + after announcement.
- First week of June: Got call first week of June asking if I wanted to change to regular Plaid for sooner delivery, declined.
- 6/19/21: Order automatically converted to regular Plaid order without $10k price increase.
- EDD fluctuated between July, August, and blank.
- 7/1/21: Called SA at local Tesla store and changed wheels from 19” to 21”, no price increase (aside from price of wheels).
- 7/7/21: Got a surprise email asking for final payment, check account and showing VIN (433) and delivery date range of 7/8-7/11.
- 7/8/21: Received call for Tesla store asking to schedule delivery, told must pick up car by 7/11 or they will assign to someone else. Finalized trade in and paperwork on account and scheduled delivery for 7/10.
- 7/10/21: Picked up car without any trouble!

Gorgeous! It would take all my self control to not tastefully install a chasing red LED strip in the area behind the front badge. If ever there was a modern day K.I.T.T from Knight Rider, your car is it. (Please do it!)

Oh no, after weeks of "August" I'm blank again
LR 19 blue white interior RN1147

my exact order - though I have had "September" for about 3 weeks now

Mine is there.
She is beautiful.
I wait (not so) patiently.

That must be the hardest part. Knowing it is there. you see it, touch it, but can't get in it!!

Stopped by Ft Myers SC last night and saw 5 MS. 2 plaid and 3 LR. There was a white one with cream and I thought it was mine. WRONG VIN!!

I lost my EDD for the first time! Woohoo! It means I’m getting closer right?

ahahha sure same here first time i lost the EDD. I hope we are not moving to the October delivery thread

 

[Mandarin]

I was showing a generic July delivery date for about one month. About one week ago that went to blank. This morning, the generic July delivery date is back.

Same here. I think it means July 2022

for people without the car

To answer your question on why you only have 345 miles of range, that is the range of the Plaid with 21" wheels. To get the 390 miles of range, you need the 19" wheels and I don't believe any 19" wheel configuration has been delivered to this date?

Yes but also being taunted with “yeah we got your car in, but you really can’t have it yet”!

Exactly, happy for all those getting VIN and DD, but like many of us who have had those for some time, they mean nothing when you can't actually take delivery of your vehicle. I want a safe vehicle, but the least they could do is provide some communication to those of us with cars on the lot of our delivery center, not to mention those already driving the new refresh's. They just don't look at these transactions from a human element - people have old cars and need to sell them but have no clue when to sell them when they can no clue when they can take delivery. Not everyone trades in...

FWIW I saw two articles on the internet today (so you know it's true!) reporting about the CLAIMS (by our forum or reddit) about the complete S hold. I say claims, as they are reporting what we're saying, and not anything from Tesla.
I think something will have to shake loose soon and we'll get some response - it's one thing for our site to guess, but another thing for reporters to start reporting no deliveries, I think shareholders will want answers almost as much as we do!
I'm cross posting this on the hold thread....

back to July

Same. They like toying with us white/carbon fiber interior 19” folks

Same here. I think it means July 2022

Add me to this list. Was "July" for a long time, then last week went blank, now this morning "July" reappeared.

RN11394xxxx
19" wheels
white interior
black exterior
carbon fiber

my guess: coupled with the updated range info for the 19" wheels, i suspect these have finally been finalized. Getting me my car by the end of July seems far fetched at this point, but who knows.

I had October for weeks and mine just disappeared for the second time. Hope you're right (though since I'm ordering 19"s, it probably means nothing.

 

[Bill Price]

They are going to ask you if you have a 220 outlet in your garage

I can guarantee that no one in the US has a 220 outlet in their garage. Well............I guess they COULD have a 220 outlet if their run from the main panel to the outlet was so long that they got a 20 volt voltage drop.

Well said. I’m selling my M3P in about a week, which was based on the fact that my EDD was July (boy was I naive about this…) so I’m fully expecting to have no car for at least a few weeks. At least my partner has a P90D, so she”ll drive us around when needed. But I do wish Tesla was better at this estimating game.

And to get even more than 390 miles of range, go get aftermarket wheels that shave off 10lbs per corner

Holy cow your RN is even older than mine, and I ordered on 9/22/2020! When did you place your order?

 

[Richmonder]

Woke up to a blank EDD, it's been October since I ordered so fingers crossed for ultimate disappointment?

Same here, except I went blank once for a few days in June.

 

[MFrunkerOG]

Actually you can… use a ridiculously undersized wire, jack up the current and let the voltage drop 20 volts… voila 220!

then run outta there coz it’s going to burn the house down!

pretty much the minute Elon said the order form was live, haha.
