Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Daniellane]

Well I was surprised yesterday morning to a VIN. Ordered 1/5/21 Blue/Black/19s. Switched to 21s on 7/5/21. EDD 13-16 Aug. I’m not going to get that excited. I’ll believe it when I take delivery. Only THEN will I sell my 2021 (Dec of 2020 delivery) MSLR. (Blue/White/19s 6600 miles on it if anyone is interested )

So now that I have a VIN, I decided to shop my current 2021 MSLR around to a few of the online car buying companies. I knew the used car market is crazy, but I never expected this. One of the offers I received was $14k more THAN I PAID FOR IT back in December. I was planning on posting her for sale to help out a member looking for a car, but if they are offering that high, I feel like I would be cruel selling at the actual market price at the moment.

Can you provide a list of the buying companies…?

At least I'm not the only one with a collection of accessories in the garage for my Tesla MS Plaid (which I don't actually have yet, lol ).

You are not alone…I was very close to buying a cover as well but now with the wife heckling me I really need the car to justify any additional surplus accessories.

Local shop I use really impressed me with the prep they did before painting my calipers on my 2017 MS. The plastic even covers the underbody to eliminate any chance of overspray. Suggest going to a good wheel shop for painting calipers and a good tint/wrap shop for those services.

Awesome! You just validated my decision because this calipers look amazing and now I will have to copy you on painting the T. Beautiful!

I don't know that I want to bother with the setting up accounts etc. I'll likely just go with 2.49% with Tesla. The rest just seems like a hassle I don't want to deal with...

I did PenFed and also did Tesla. Even though Tesla was 0.10% higher, I am sticking with Tesla for convenience as well.

I can’t argue that a Tesla wall connector isn’t cool, but all you really need to charge overnight is a Nema 14-50 outlet installed in your garage. The portable is fine and I’ve had not a single occurrence when I’ve had to have it with me. I leave it plugged in at home.

Are there any pics of @omarsultan 's tint?

Exactly my thoughts! I m a noob so would like to know the upside of the $550 wall connector plus installation.
I have a nema 10-30 in my garage and i use the mobile charger which charges at 20 mph

@drdonger - I spoke with James at the Tint World in Rowlett ((972) 512-4745). He was very helpful and unless I find a very significant price difference elsewhere, just the customer service he provided on that 10-minute phone call will get them my business!! Good customer service is becoming a rare trait!!!

Had a similar experience with Tint World in Chantilly VA.

Bro, I think it is the 1143s and 1144s that are getting the "no EDD" fisting. Anyway, I feel ya man.

Yep

Anyone else having issues getting into details for the order?

when I click “Manage” link in the Dashboard section of my account, it used to take me to details about the order. It’s just reloading the Dashboard page now.

For those who have gotten theirs, how easy are these to get in and out of? are they super low?

Tint scheduled for Thursday! I think I'm going to do 50 front windows, 35 rear windows and trunk, 70 windshield. I know @omarsultan did 55% all around and 70% on the windshield and that looked pretty clean, but not as dark as I would like. Has anyone done a darker tint and have photos?

I think I have the lowest ceramic tint all around (25%?) and 70% on the windshield

I had this happen. I suspect it’s some browser cache issue. I opened a new private window and then it worked fine. I’d guess that restarting the browser would also fix it.

Yep I’ll do the same. Cheers.

Anyone in Canada get their Model S Plaid yet? -- My ETA was July, but, that has now been 'removed' and there is no ETA any longer....

No, check this thread

Canada Model S Plaid and LR orders and deliveries!

I'm pretty sure that the luxury tax was removed for the final budget approved. I can't see any evidence that it is going forward. I read that it was proposed, can't see anything about it being passed or removed for that matter. BTW, where's Haliax?

20% Ceramic (Xpel Prime XR Plus) all around and 70% blue XR Plus on windshield.

No issues looking out at night, and heat/IR rejection is superb. Like said above, I might get ceiling glass done later, though I haven't had too much issue with heat. Cabin stays fairly cool and cabin overheat protection doesn't trigger much.
