Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Hayseed_MS]

I'm scheduled to pick up on Sunday (car supposed to arrive at SC tomorrow). I called today and was told my car now won't arrive till 10PM Sunday, and they would have called me tomorrow to reschedule had I not called them today (so.. less than 24 hours even though they already know it won't make it on time)

I have found that Tesla does not think about your life/schedule ahead unless you tell them. I rescheduled service a couple of times now due to parts not arriving. I had to initiate it. Their process is to wait until the night before and if the parts are not in - then reschedule. They do not understand we have lives and work around them.

But what are your feelings on the Plaid and is it worth the money?

I agree. After over 10k miles in 2.5 months I still look for trips to take.

no locks???

No, IMO locks are useless--easily defeated

Here is the 3/y/s/x center cap (for pre fresh). You can see it does not quite fit. The color matches better in person but the flash picked up the difference.

What was the part number you ordered for the center cap?

Agreed. Easy to get around. If they are not skilled enough to get around they will trash the wheel anyway.

I do not do it for wheels on the ground. For the wheel on the back of the Jeeps, I lock just so some jackleg doesn't think it would be funny to take it.

Amazon.com

Figured cheap enough that if they did not work not out a lot of money.

If you have a better one, let me know and I will try.

Dates continue to change. Regarding to auto insurance, im receiving quotes ranging from 275-375 per month. My previous car was a 2004 Honda accord lx coupe and was paying 95 a month. Are other people getting similar prices? I called geico, esurance and statefarm.

I got full coverage for my LR for ~80/mo with progressive. As a reference point since geography matters so much, my wife's 2014 Elantra is ~50/mo

Edit: full coverage... $500 deductible, 30 day rental car

I use american family insurance $1000 deductible 1043 per year (87 bucks a month) - I live in Utah

Any RN1142s out there waiting on delivery? EDD 17-27th September for me. I'm wondering if it's safe enough to get my down payment ready / reapply for my auto loan...

I kinda think FSD, with all of the limits required , is better for the reckless plaid driver.

It is long term, but this is still beta so it’s not safe for Tesla’s image as they try to get regulatory approval. Can’t have careless drivers allowing / making FSD to look bad in this fragile climate.

While Tesla's backyard isn't perfect, it's certainly without the bald spots of the "dealership" model:

Ford Wants To Compete With Tesla, But Its Dealers Are Getting In The Way

It's one thing to have a product that competes with Tesla, it's another to have the sales experience. And Ford's old dealership model isn't helping.

i'd wait until you get a VIN, personally. If you are using Tesla financing then most certainly

@2021plaid I agree with all, except #2. First, it's not logical that 21s, with hardly any sidewall, would be "quieter" than 19s (both tires has foam, I think), and second, I think there was only one TMC member who has both cars and reported that. In their unique one off case, the difference could have had a bad 19' tire, or something else that caused his 19" equipped car to seem a bit more noisy, no? So, I would say there isn't enough facts and data to support #2, like there is on all other points.

Exactly what I was thinking. Really cool that Tesla is doing this now!

Here are the actual numbers showing the 19" in consistently a tenth faster -- in the best apples to apples comparison so far.

You would think tesla would know this but all of the cars they use for testing are on 21"? Charge level? Difference in cars from the factory?
