Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Mrbrock]

is it possible to grab one of these and get it transported to the nearest local dealership?

You can, but you'll pay the delivery fee. Non-refundable if you reject the car upon delivery for QC issues. If you click more details and have your zip code entered, it will tell you what the estimated delivery fee is to your location. Usually $1000-$2000. Any for that to happen, there has to be a delivery going your way. With everything originating from Fremont, unless you choose a Bay Area car, you are not likely to get your car from say, Texas to Illinois in a timely manner because they would need 6 more Teslas making the same trip to fill a truck before they would do that. I tried to get an Inventory car from PA to CA and was delayed for over a month even with confirmed delivery dates.

There's a bunch in NY Metro and Philadelphia areas

Yeah I am seeing 10 Plaids available within 200 miles of Rhode Island.

 

[Mrbrock]

Wonder if this is maybe a glitch and these cars have arrived for customer deliveries? And just haven't been marked as such in the system? Either that or they are producing a lot of extra combos that haven't been ordered. Seems very un-Tesla like to do that.

For those that got the 2k credit for the refresh, was that applied to prior to calculating taxes or at the end. Just trying to get better idea of what i will be paying on DD, still waiting to be scheduled 26-28

 

[MFrunkerOG]

Wow and there's 7 here in the Phoenix area - all Plaids and none with FSD!

dammit... and I'm still Feb!!!

For my white interior boys Inventory | Tesla

 

[yerEVan]

FWIW - I called Tesla and the SA told me his system is showing 05-Sep - 19-Sep, which is the same as what mine is showing. Not sure if there are different systems that the SAs were using for the folks that showed different EDDs in their system and what Tesla SAs were reporting?

I just did the same. She saw the same as I do 9/3-9/16. And won’t know anything until a VIN. And said from trends, lately the dates are fairly accurate.

 

[doubleshot]

5 weeks with a VIN and no car as of today and I get to watch people who ordered two months after me take delivery...awesome.

Least you have a VIN

 

[Proppilot]

It absolutely works like a charm! It's spring loaded so the wings are under compression.

any way you could share the .STL file ??!!

thanks for this info!

I struggle to understand how they can have all these inventory cars when there HAS to be folks waiting
on those exact configs for months now, or would get one if called and offered one??

 

[eddiemoy]

what the actual ****k!
I just saw 4 Plaids available in Ohio area too. All with black/cream interior though. Why are they busy making configs that are less in demand. White interior is in shortage after all. Frustrating!

I think people place multiple orders and cancel one maybe? This could be the reason Tesla just raised their non refundable deposit from $100 to $250

Well they are produced in batches. I'm guessing they don't produce 670 if they have 670 reservations, they probably push to a certain number per config and push the extras to populated areas for sale.

 

[jbcarioca]

Yeah. My MF438 is apparently in Richmond... for reasons I don't understand, but not set to get here until 9/6, at least according to the service guy who return my wife's S to her today.

(Interestingly I can't get into my account to figure out what the EDD says there)

Mine seems to be on a truck someplace in the Southeast, expected on the 25th or 26th at the Svc Center, delivery stone thereafter. I looked at four Plaids from a 431 that had obvious panel gaps but no paint problem to three 434's all of which were impeccable on the outside. I did not see the inside on any of them.
A service guy watching me look told me that no problems there were 'serious', whatever that means, but that some issues had to be corrected regardless of build date. That is just a service guy, one I recognized but do not know.

There are 12 Model S Plaids available on Tesla.com in the Bay Area if anybody is waiting on an order...

I just snagged one. MrBrock, I owe you a bottle of scotch. Not exactly what I ordered but it's pretty close and I now have a VIN in my account!

 

[GrnSqrl]

Mine was $2K before taxes, so in PA the invoice was reduced by $2,120.

So, for anyone (especially with build like mine with white seats & carbon fiber interior trim), you may also be disappointed like I am this morning. After 6+ months of waiting after my order & RN 1144xxx on 2/5/21, my account changed this morning from Est Delivery 9/20/21 - 9/30/21 to 10/6/21 - 10/26/21. So much for EOQ Rush and getting my MS Plaid by the end of Sept. I really thought Tesla was somehow doing a run of white (and red?) MS Plaids/LRs with white seats and cf trim now to get delivered by the end of the 3rd QTR as my Tesla account has been quite steady with end of Sept est delivery for the past 2 weeks...until today. And now with a mid Oct est delivery, I feel they could easily push it back to Nov or Dec or worse! Ugh, this is getting painful to say the least.

which strikes me as odd considering that this car:

New & Used Electric Cars | Tesla

Find new and used Tesla cars. Every new Tesla has a variety of configuration options and all pre-owned Tesla vehicles have passed the highest inspection standards.

www.tesla.com

is for sale on the Tesla website and it is in Miami.

edit: nvm, just noticed it had black seats. still strikes me as odd Tesla has so many refresh LRs and Plaids available.

 

[jbcarioca]

They must have gotten a few white LRs. Just saw one with temp tags on Indiantown Rd.

I saw one white w/ black seats LR at Coral Gables.

Is there any indication what VIN group these are in?
