Wiki Model S Delivery Update

"Just got my new Plaid. I don't see what people are talking about with the panel alignment. Everything looks good to me."

My delivery appointment is in 3 hours. So excited!! Thank you all for providing community and entertainment during the Long Wait.

Update: They attempted to move the delivery back 2 days as I was calling my uber to go over to the dealership. They said they need a paint specialist to fix "sand marks" on the car. I told them I just want the car and they can fix those at a later appointment. They agreed to compromise and do a delivery in the late afternoon today. As further context, I purchased one of the cars that came up randomly in Tesla's inventory a week or so ago, after seeing someone post about it on this forum. My original order from 2/5 was dropped for this one, which has a similar configuration (Plaid / Black / Cream / CF / 21). However, this one's VIN is in the "430" range so it's likely (?) one of the cars that was sitting in the lot. I will find out later, hopefully.

Interesting how it remembers all the other settings (radio, UI placement, etc.) for the driver but not the vent settings.

I don't believe it's actually a settings recall issue that I'm speaking of. It's actually a Tesla-decided-that-since-there's-no-passenger-they're-ok-with-my-right-side-baking type of issue.

No. That lot remains unchanged. But yes, it probably was manufactured in May. And who knows how long it sat at your delivery center. Probably since June or early July

Really? Those reset after each drive? That sounds really annoying and should 100% be a profile setting.

I did my morning refresh of the Tesla site and my EDD was moved up to EOQ from October: September 19-30. I guess this isn't a big surprise since I am in California.

Are EOQ push cars really as bad QC wise as advertised? I guess I'll see because unless something is falling off the car at delivery, I'll take it and suffer through as many service visits as necessary to fix everything.

Now I have to move money around so I have enough cash in the main account to close the deal. Hopefully, this isn't more Tesla EDD shenanigans because now that I have an EDD of a few weeks, it's getting more real. I didn't think I could be more obsessed but now I am like a kid a week from Christmas.

Good luck everyone especially those that ordered earlier.

LR, MSM black, 19" wheels, no FSD, ordered May 1 from mall store, RN1148

So, even though people said summer they are really All-Seasons? That does not make sense.

Sooo is it all season or not? Lol do we have definitive answer fron pirelli?

I noticed the same thing where I live. Car experts on the radio suggesting all other brands except Tesla. Car press praising the new MachE with no nodge to the Y. Radio bashing EV cars one morning only to praise the new Chevy Bolt the next.

This is happening everywhere. This is what marketing money will do. Bash Tesla, praise whoever pays your bills. Journalistic integrity went awol a long time ago.

Owners know how awesome the cars are and 3 out of 4 Tesla's are the most satisfying cars on the road according to Consumer Reports.
In the customer satisfaction section, the Model S has been in the number 1 spot for years.
The percentage of owners who said they would 'definitely purchase the same car again' is 89%. And this is from 2021 pre-refresh Model S owners.
Number 2 on the list is the Audi A8: 75% said they would definitely purchase again.
Number 3 goes to the Genesis G90 with 68%.

The S with 89%, Model 3 91%, and Model Y 89% are all in the top spot. The X has 82% behind the top spot Aviator with 84%

If I want to look odd, I will just put hubcaps on the car. Was hoping for a better solution than having to buckle the belt. For now, I just open the screen and tap the pass vent. The weird thing is that there are times when it is is on but I cannot seem to find the pattern.

Make sure your drivers & pass. controls aren't split.

This one is for you @2021plaid. A rocket car that did the 1/4 mile in 3.22 seconds.

It looks fake!

Il semble donc que les "Pirelli Elect 19 pouces sont toutes saisons" semblent se répandre. J'ai parlé à quelqu'un du centre de service Alpharetta (Atlanta) hier et ils ont dit la même chose.

ne doit pas connaître les cotes DOT (ces choses M+S) . À moins que… ils mélangent un taux d'usure plus élevé avec toutes les saisons.

au fait, où achetez-vous des élix de pirelli ? Impossible de les voir sur les sites habituels

Alors, même si les gens ont dit que l'été, ils sont vraiment toutes saisons ? Ça n'a pas de sens.

I cant wait to see the Mini built with the Tesla battery and motor referenced in the video.

I saw my first Plaid with white interior and walnut availble in Denver and before I could buy it it was sold. So they are making white interiors.

 

[2101Guy]

A thought

buy and keep LR for two years, then sell it outright at whatever the depreciation rate is at that time. Lets say...an average (in the USA) of ~25% for year 1, then the average of 12% for year two.

Then buy a used 2021 Plaid. Same (or higher) depreciation % rate....

Voila

I heard a week ago, that "several" white interior S's have been delivered through the Tysons VA center over the past couple weeks, but I was unable to confirm that they werent cream. But Im inclined to believe that may have been accurate intel

@lolachampcar Here ya go!

Model Y 82kW Battery Pack

From their help is states it is an extrapolation so likely just using the same input and keeping track of it over time for a graph. Notice how the two graphs below go hand in hand? TeslaFI . COM has similar graph on the bottom for your car and for the TeslaFI 'fleet' for your model...

Just got confirmation that my car that was delivered with 19” summer tires was delivered with the wrong tires and that Tesla will be replacing them with AS. Super psyched!

 

[lolachampcar]

To anyone who has taken delivery, are the vents able to actually direct airflow? So does the air actually blow where you set it according to the screen? Just curious as I'd imagine the "invisible" vents limit this in ways.

Yes they do and the system works including splitting the streams into two just like on MY.
