I had a VIN assigned to my Plaid for close to two months now. The delivery date was originally over six weeks ago and it keeps moving to another 1-3 days out every day. RN 1143 ordered Jan 15.
Anyone else have a VIN this long and no car sitting in their garage?

Delivery Centers do not have the most recent software to update cars, which seems dumb.
.flac is not currently supported in the refreshed S
That is standard. Most have ~15 miles and Tesla used to always list 50 on delivery docs.
There is an issue with your car that Tesla should be working on. Talk to your SA or DS.
yea I've had it with you people

Sounds like your MS will be the loudest and best sounding “silent EV” on the road!
. Cheers and enjoy!
You are right. And TBH I didn't feel guilty enough to go back in line.Don’t feel guilt for a call somebody else made. Out of your control. Be happy
It has happened to me twice now. Maybe there is something to the theory about paying full price plus FSD and getting your car faster...
That’s your Plaid you just canceled? How does it feel? Regrets?

Oh yes didn’t know. Thought you said there was a snafu with your payment at delivery. No worries. Glad you were able to but my SC Mgr was firm that only a Bank Cashier’s Check would be accepted at my delivery which is fine; it’s what I was planning anyhow.Actually, they did
Hi, since my flac files are playing, I assume the software in the car is converting them to mp3 format prior to playing? Do you have a cite to this so I can check it out and figure out when it will be changed?
Thanks,
I have a LR sat in Chicago rail yard also…. But my advisor said wed/thur for delivery… then got a text to schedule w/ the earliest being Friday…. Would have loved a Monday delivery… but no way to get a cashiers check now till tue… going to be a long week waiting

Finally got my car! Didn't want to post any updates to jinx it. Exterior is perfect as far as I can tell. Interior has some slight blemishes that I'm sure some cleaning solution can improve.
Ridiculously fast car, never experienced anything like it. Definitely worth the wait!

But yet some people report they play just fine. I think it is a matter of some FLAC files being at unsupported sample rate. (44.1kHz vs. 96kHz vs. 192kHz or 16bit vs. 20bit vs 24bit, etc.)
I am DEFINITELY playing FLAC files (44/16 versions) from a USB plugged into my new MS with .32.5 software version.

@emailforbrett Sounds like it could be in a body shop getting repaired? Happens sometimes if damaged during shipment - and they don’t have to disclose it if the damage is less than a certain amount…. It might also may be being held for parts or something.

Why do you need a cashiers check? You can pay online with your bank account. I thought they didn't take cashiers checks anymore (or at least they were being very difficult about accepting them)
I drove straight from the dealership for a little spa treatment in the form of full PPF, tint and ceramic. The owner of the shop has a M3P and will plug in 110v each night, which should be fine for the week it's going to be there.
The LR came in chill mode and I left it there for the busy interstate portion of the 25 mile drive to the shop. Once I got off of the interstate, I switched to insane mode and hit it twice from 30mph. The car is fast and traction is incredibly impressive. Tesla engineers are brilliant is my only thought.
Straight novice move not pairing my phone with the car prior to leaving, but the dealership was absolutely swamped with people taking test drives and accepting deliveries. They had approx 10 refresh S's with a nice mix of LR's and Plaids with both 19 inch and 21 inch rims. I just wanted to get out of there.
Once I arrived at the shop, I paired my phone to the car and app (so I can monitor activity this week). Good thing I paired the phone, because the shop owner texted me 30 minutes after I left because the card was locked inside of the car.
My 2009 C63 AMG is a dinosaur--I'm trying remember the name of the slow and fat one. Stegosaurus! That's it! These are my initial thoughts during the limited time I spent in the LR. The software is old and won't likely see an update until I get the wall connector installed (I'm trying to push the 9/16 install date up).
As for imperfections, there were few. Panel gaps were good, all rubber gaskets fit well, and nothing noteworthy with the mirrors, doors or interior fit and finish.
The only issues included a few scratches under the driver's side front bumper, partially on the paint and also the protective plastic cover (see pic). They buffed them out for the most part. My shop is going to finish fixing the scratches prior to PPF. I have the worm and there is a very small scratch (maybe an 1/8 of inch) on the roof towards the windshield that wasn't enough for me to balk. Nothing else was noticeable to my eye. They are going to replace the plastic protection underneath and behind the front bumper.
Now the waiting game. I told the shop to take their time as I don't have the ability to charge at the house just yet. The owner said one week would likely be sufficient.
I know there are many folks who have waited longer or continue to wait. I don't know what happened that I got my car after three months, but I'm grateful and will be equally excited for others as they receive their S's. It's an unbelievable car. Cheers!
