Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[1khpV3]

In a drunken rage, I placed an order Friday for my same config but with Black wood.. A day later I have a delivery window for Aug 11 - Aug 22.

so they will happily take your $10K and get you a car ASAP. Even if the configurator tells you next year.

A fun $100 experiment that costs you $10K lol…

BTW I now like Black ebony much better than white CF. Haha.

i really want the white and carbon, but we'll see. Once my V3 gets sold ill make a decision.

That wood finish looks quite a different and darker than what I have. Did they make any changes?

You have walnut (white and cream seats). That photo is ebony (black seats).

Looks like you have white walnut? This is the black ebony.

The ebony looks WORLDS better in person than it does on the designer. Which is a damn shame. I also wish they would have offered that on a white interior.

and the ebony ESPECIALLY under the binnacle looks so much better than the screen shots posted earlier of the CF under the binnacle. (My opinion only LOL)

Agree 100%. Totally worth $10K for me to upgrade. Haha.

FYI: Is the cost of the paint correction step worth it before PPF is applied? You decide..

Correct. It's no different than putting screen protectors over scratched screens. Rarely do those imperfections show up.

Spoke with an SA today to answer some questions about final payment. He told me my car is in transit, with a scheduled arrival of 19 Aug at my SC. He said I can expect to receive a call soon to schedule delivery on Saturday the 21st.

I hate you.

Apparently my car is also in transit so maybe my car will arrive on the 19th as well . The 21st would be great.

That was my favorite part of the Red MC -- the MSM shifts a bit under different light conditions, but nothing like the Red MC.

I know this is gonna sound dumb but does the lip spoiler come standard on Plaid models? We ordered red and I couldn't find anywhere that referenced it. I've always loved the look but the wife never let me put one on!

Yes. It is standard equipment on all Plaid Model S'.

Here's some perspective after I read about what traditional dealerships are doing, while we wait for our cars and Tesla ups the prices of the cars 5k every month or so.

1. Honda is no longer allowing 3rd parties to take over leases. Honda lease vehicles must be traded into Honda dealerships or bought outright by the lesee.

2. Dealerships are marking up cars thousands of dollars over MSRP. I've read as much as demanding 10k over MSRP. Not negotiating, straight up saying if they can't pay 10K over MSRP then the shopper should just leave.

3. Dealership inventory is mostly prebought, and anything not already claimed is what's fetching these absurd numbers.

Yep, rear spoiler is stock / OEM from Tesla.

They probably black-bagged him for that letter... I'll start drafting the missing posters...

EDIT: The poster, we're very concerned
