Wiki Model S Delivery Update

All true.

But that was then, this is now.

Tesla is current failing to perform on many levels.

Who would argue a Gwen Shotwell clone as COO would not be an improvement?

True. All products (in production and future, like CT), and Tesla designed/produced sub-products (e.g., new battery) continue to slip and be behind schedule. Part shortages only account for some of this.

Panel gaps! Arghh. Its uneven on driver side, flush on passenger hood. Also gasket misaligned on passenger side. Adding to my ticket!

It’s sad, that for $150,000, they deliver stuff like this. Much could be fixed by SC before pickup.

As COO, that would maybe work. As long as Elon would still have the ultimate say, then I think that maybe would help to smooth things over. The problem is, it would be a tall order to find someone who wouldn't just tell the public lies to tie them over like other car makers do.

Indeed..theyre basically passing on the work to another SC.

I got quoted $4200 for full body (didn't get only full frontal quote). I ended up not going for it and doing ceramic only for now - still debating a matte wrap at some point. $2200-2500 seems fair for full frontal, but I dunno if others had different experience.


I had a similar issue with State Farm. VIN didn't show up in their system until the day before I took delivery (6/26 delivery). My agent said they can do an "insured letter" for delivery (don't know if Tesla would have accepted) just in case, but I never needed it.

They managed to fix it, did some weird manual work on it. Anyway, it's done. Whew! Thanks!

I'd try to fix it myself. Last time I heard someone let the SvC fix a gap, the broke the whole rear window!

Hey guys - for those of us that couldnt afford the 21s or the plaids and therefore will be waiting for another 2 years, I thought we could all come up with some great peasantmobile vanity license plates (which we also cant afford). Here are my ideas so far, let me know what you think (7 character limit!). plz add urs.

"BR0K3MN" OR "BR0KWMN"
"N0WBR0K"
"P3ASANT"
"2P00R4U"
"N0SVNGS"
"VRYSL0W"
"N0TPLAD"
"D38TLFE"
"D1V0RCD"
"CH3PR1K"

My wife likes SCARGO....for the snail.

On a serious note, I'm naming my LR Eagle 5, after the Winnebago from Spaceballs.

That even the SC doesn’t perform until the buyer points it out.

They should hire us as QC..lol.

True they are behind maybe behind schedule. But when has this been new with Tesla? The MX was 2 years late.

It's because they're busy delivering cars to people who ordered two weeks ago. They're trash when it comes to business practices and customer relations. I don't understand who are the people jacking off to news like 1.2M Cybertruck orders and other crap. It's probably the same people who got to leapfrog everybody else and got their car within days. I mean this company is struggling to deliver a few thousand orders of their latest refresh car that has already been finalized and announced and all. Yet some of you guys think they're gonna do so well in delivering Cybertrucks lol. Not to mention it isn't even finalized yet. And if you think Tesla will sell you a tri-motor set up for literally half the price of the tri-motors in Plaid without compromising range or any other important feature then you're delusional.

sigh.

My dates tightened over night. Was 06-20. Now 07-20. Imagine, if I were not a member of this TMC support group, I would think these changes actually are based on something.

And no batteries yet for the CT, which supposed to start deliveries later this year…. I wonder if those, like me, that placed a CT order at announcement will see what those here are seeing when they placed Plaid orders at announcement (hint, BOHICA).

Good grief, I don't know what's worse. Blank forever or the rolling dates for weeks. Jeez

Blank dates make you feel abandoned and forgotten. Rolling dates slowly erode any sense of optimism and make you fee sad. I will say that I am angrier now that I have rolling dates than I was when the EDD was simply blank. I'm not sure if that is simply a product of having waited longer, though.

Well, I have a blank yesterday and a January today. I think I prefer the blank….

 

[Tholland]

It’s happening. 19in wheel plaids are getting vins.

 

[bananaheim]

Hey, I have a completely off-topic question. Although I am not a newbie, I do not know how to tag someone. Can someone explain please. Thanks

 

[bmt00]

I missed a lot while I was traveling, did we ever figure out what that weeks-long delivery hold was for on Model Ses?
