Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[BobbyRitz]

Thanks for this info. When you initially called them, did you know your car had arrived at the SC, or did you ask them to ping it, then once they said it had arrived, you asked them to schedule delivery?

Thanks!

I didn't know prior to the call. They told me the car was there when I called. They set my appt for noon on Monday, but I went to the dealership on Saturday and was able to take delivery that day.

Curious - what was it previously?

Was Blank for months then Nov 2- Nov 30

Thanks! When did you get your vin, and what's your EDD currently? Looks like we may be on the same shipment.

I got my VIN last Friday. EDD is sept 15th - 21st

This will be my first Tesla. I've heard that they've pushed updates in the past that literally speed up the car. I ordered the LR, and I've also heard (including one of the engineer's comments during the launch event) that each motor delivers ~400hp... so there should be more to give out of the LR. For you long-term Tesla experts, what is the likelihood that they'd eventually provide an OTA update to make the LR even faster? If so, how long would this take to come out (1 - 2 years?), and would they charge for it?

thanks

I'm personally expecting that to happen for the LR. It has a faster 1/4 mile than the P100D even with a half second slower 0-60. It's clearly getting throttled by the marketing department to separate it even more from the Plaid. I will be SHOCKED if the LR doesn't get a 2.4-2.6 0-60 upgrade once you can no longer purchase this particular configuration.

Well they took the $2k off my price so I guess it’s really happening.

Interestingly, they also took that $2k off my loan rather than my amount due at signing. Im not sure how I feel about that.

I am going to be that person. But look at the lower left part (when looking at the car) of the front grill. Looks like something is in there.

looks like straw...

It should be applied before tax is figured so you will save sales tax as well instead of them doing it as a credit.

Well, technically you'll pay a little less interest on that loan then - seems fair.

You can use that savings to get a hooker liner for the frunk.

Right. That’s good. Still, I expected that I’d still get the same loan amount.

In the end I’m okay either way just surprised.

It’s worth it yall. The wait is worth it

You know what else is worth it? The champagne in the club.

I was able to play some FLAC files and some WAV files yesterday from my USBC. I also had one album of FLAC files that would not play and gave an error. I could easily toggle back and forth between FLAC, WAV, and error so it wasn't dumb luck. I did not try to change or delete the FLAC files that didn't work. Just thought it was interesting that some worked and some didn't.

Was playing with this today after some discussion on one of the other threads. The issue appears to be the resolution. The car can handle files sampled at 44.1 Khz and 48 kHz. If barfs on the 96 kHz. FLAC and ALAC both worked at the lower resolutions.

Tesla did improve its power curve quite a bit on the new S that could help explain the faster 1/4 mile. I ordered a LR and 3.1 is plenty fast for me. Although I'd like to be in a plaid just once....

@AnselmDante - how’s your sandisk extreme working? Easy set up per the video? Have you separated and added folders on it yet for music too?

Send Weathertech an email asking if there frunk liner is easy to clean off "organic substances".

I haven't even thought to add music to it yet. I'll look into that. It's recording video, but the video I have has gaps in the footage. I'm not sure if that is an issue with the sandisk or an issue with the Tesla. Since this is my first Tesla, I don't know what to make of it yet.

I haven't messed with the car enough to have any intelligent opinions on the discrepancies. I'll definitely look into music files.

As for setup, I simply plugged it into the Tesla, selected "format", and the folder needed was created.

Dude I audibly gasped when I saw that!
