Eh? You must have me confused with another user, as I'm in San Francisco. Unless there's a San Francisco in Canada?
LOL my mistake, already a little mentally unstable over here courtesy of this debacle of a delivery programEh? You must have me confused with another user, as I'm in San Francisco. Unless there's a San Francisco in Canada?
Actually it never has been. Delivery people had far more time then, so service was stellar although there were very few service facilities and no mobile service.
After Model S ramp began in earnest, late 2014 and the P85D arrived there was much more volume. Still there were long waits to get a car and delivery issues were frequent. None of that really bothered very early adopters, but when Model 3 arrived the volumes rose vary rapidly and the world changed. Frankly I think the buggiest issue has been breakneck growth. There has been massive effort to reduce maintenance and increase reliability, and that has worked very well.
The order management and delivery problems have stayed. They were improving rapidly during 2019, but the moment Covid-19 hit, followed with supply issues and staffing problems all the progress came to naught. Since then growth continued, quality has mostly been excellent and Shanghai ramp has mostly been smooth.
Now, though, with things like 4680's, refresh Models S and X coming with all the rest, we have chosen to order right into that reinvention.
If some of us are more patient than others, it's probably because many of us have large enough capital gains on TSLA, realized or not, that we're conditioned to understand why and how these issues arise and we fully expect them to be solved. That, bluntly, was not true for any of those on my summary list of silly technological innovations that I chose to buy before they were even remotely perfected.
I'm convinced that all this will be far better a year from now when Shanghai, Austin and Brandenburg are all in production and the 4680 and Gigapress challenges have been largely met.
One that happens I think we'll have Model Y style introductions rather than Model S and X ones. Of course I'm an optimist.

Tesla Plaid Channel's delivery video, full video coming tomorrow:
Maybe I've missed it somewhere in the forum, but has anyone actually received a Long Range with 19" wheels? If so, what's it like? Is it worth the wait? I'm about 2 weeks from moving past the sunk cost fallacy of the 9 months I've been waiting and dropping Tesla from my life entirely. This entire process is absolute madness.
Tesla Service was incredible in the early days--it all kinda broke when the Model 3 showed up and they got crushed under the volume.
No one on this forum as far as it has been reported. There seems to be 19s delivered that are not apparent test mules.

Yeah, they also need to avoid ridiculous service visits for items like installing Homelink to Model 3/Y which they could do in the build process instead, all the retrofits being offered, etc.
Good grief a couple of you really act like school children.
On topic: finally called my SA after 4 months of quietly waiting and religiously following this thread. I do not have a VIN or EDD on my profile, but I am in the build plan and should expect delivery in August or early September. MSLR, MSM, Cream, 19s, no FSD ordered April 1st to Dallas. Fingers crossed this holds. Will cross-post to LR-specific break off thread.

MS LR, Black/black/21", Ordered 3/20/21, RN 1146.
Don't count on it. I have a VIN and had 8/3-8/6 for a week and it changed to 8/11-8/16 overnight last night.

Been to San Francisco in Costa Rica but the San Francisco here is a tad bit nicer
Personally, I suspect they simply started production with 21s and sticking with one configuration is more efficient, as opposed to there being some "problem" with 19s. The only "problem" here has been their early lies about the car being in production back in January and ready for delivery in February. As for why they started production with 21s, that would be because they are the more expensive and showier choice. At this point, the backlog must be very long, because I suspect the large majority of purchasers chose 19s.

I want to see a LR vs. Taycan. I think the Taycan wins it, but it will be much closer than those Plaid races.

I do as well. Granted the taycan will win in the 1/4, but I want to see how it pulls top side against one.
