Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[MAHahh]

I have LR MS on order, and order page had been showing estimated delivery Dec - Jan. However, now my order page provides no delivery date (have checked through all the various links). Anyone else experiencing this issue or know what is going on?

That happens. Give it a day (maybe two) and see if your dates jump to something new.

Yep, it’s the Stealth version of Xpel Ultimate Plus. You guys like it?

Absolutely!

After 8+ months of wait, my Model S "Nera" was finally delivered to pair with my wife's "Bianca".

The last few days of the process were a complete 180 from the preceding 8 months: My Tesla SA was very responsive at taking care of last-minute changes (adding a loan and quickly addressing the 2k discount).

The delivery was scheduled with a text message directing to a web page that let you pick a date and time.
The delivery happened on time, and the car is mostly flawless: there are some small paint imperfections, but everything else (both inside and out) is perfect.
Driving with a yoke is a non-issue, and so is changing direction with the screen.

Having driven a Model S for 8 years, I wasn't completely blown away by the car like in 2013.
Having said that, the interior is vastly improved and so is the acceleration.

As many have said, it was worth the wait.

Bravissimo!!

What is believed to be a molding issue in the airbag cover in the center of the steering yoke.
Has anyone one had it repaired yet?

Search “airbag dash seams” and find the long list of complaints and concerns about various automakers cosmetically flawed seams from where the airbag emerges to save your life.

Additionally, newer manual was released. https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_s_owners_manual_north_america_en_us.pdf

2021.32

Comparison here https://draftable.com/compare/cJCLnCGkJOCs

TLDR: they added a few new sections (nothing ground breaking). But one section bumped the page numbers from 50 and beyond. So it looks like a lot. It is definitely not.

Thanks for the post. The new owner's manual shows "2021+" on main page so now can say for sure this is for refresh only.

Most people are probably being told “within specs”

Well… closing in on one earth year, and still silence from the mothership. I was told September, but I think they were just throwing lawn darts up in the air and my dart landed in the Sept circle.

Hang in there!

Not sure that’s the airbag seam; seems more like the airbag wiring under the pleather cover, as the “worm” irregular and curved.

That’s what she said?

@MarcG There's a not-so-hidden soccer reference in the name pairing we chose.

Model X forum flurry of activity for same reason: EDDs are going blank en masse.

Nobody seems to be complaining about the yoke anymore? Much ado about nothing?

It's noticeable, just doesn't trigger the obsessive-compulsive side of me.

I really want to thank Tesla for continuing to save me money by not having to pay for a new car!
All these delivery delays are meant precisely for this reason. So considerate of them!

I don’t know why it was ever an issue for all the people that complained prior to actually using it. Took a bit to get used to, especially the turn signals, but it is what it is lol, can’t say anything bad about it.

I’ve had various September dates for a month, until this morning when I went to 10/19 to 11/8.

Yoke and buttons still suck but complaining doesn't get you anywhere.

It takes a little getting used on slow and sharp turns, but I like the way it points/drives in general. As for the buttons, I may be an outlier, but I really like the way the turn signals work and where they are. I'm still having to think more about the horn, but I don't use it much anyway.
