Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Phlier]

Could be... As I said, it's just not clear what seven day window will be run through the Tesla insurance algorithm. "Time will tell...."

He did actually clarify this later.... After you push the "Please give me the Beta Button," you'll have to accept a bunch of legalese, telling you that you're about to download software that is going to monitor your driving.

You'll be able to watch the software grade your driving during the seven day window, showing you whether you are currently "Passing" or "Failing." At the end of the seven days, it is assumed at this point that everyone with a "Pass" will get the Beta, but that hasn't been completely clarified yet; they may only expand beta access by a certain number of users.

Help!

My EDD keeps vacillating between within a week of any given day to November at a ridiculous frequency.

I’ve been leaning to defer on the slim chance the taillights will miraculously be brought up to current decade styling. At least on par with every other friggin‘ Tesla. Or until it becomes a 2022.

But now that I’ve almost sold my S, I am starting my own harmonics. Do I just get the damn thing after quarter end?

Plaid/MSM/White/CF/21/FSD

In true Elon fashion, there's confusion as to the actual date. It was early on Saturday when he posted the "week from Friday" Tweet for the button's arrival. So it could either mean tomorrow or a week from tomorrow.

No, he posted it late Thursday the 16th:

Of course depending on your time zone it could have been in the very early morning of Friday. But in no case was it on Saturday for anyone that would be getting it.

Bah, I typed Saturday when I meant to type Friday.

Thanks for catching that! I wonder if it's too late to go edit my post...

Edit: Post fixed!

One last thing about the FSD Beta Button...

There's been a lot of speculation about whether or not the beta button will show up on the Refreshed S's. Elon hasn't stated that this group of cars would be excluded.

It'll be interesting to see if it shows up...

Another Tesla Plaid Channel video! Really good results with the 19s! 9.2s for sure, and my guess seems to shaping up to correct; that the difference on the dragstrip between 21s and 19s will be negligible.

Relax, nobody in all of Canada (the armpit of North America?) has seen one yet either.

I'll take it you have not been to east St Louis...Lucky you..

I thought Newark was only inboard from ships onto rail, didn't think they did any rail -> Truck there.

I know Chicago is the rail hub for Toronto, perhaps also for Newark?

 

[neadams99]

Oh shoot! I just got updated backwards. From before the end of the Quarter to the middle of the next when they start shipping in CA again. See Sig for bad news.

Me too! Sucks to be on West coast, I guess. Maybe we'll get a "N" in VIN (a 2022)?!

Baby got new shoes today (all details can be found here):

@MarcG Congrats, she is a dream. Can I just have you pick up my car (whenever the hell it gets here) and do all these XPEL, wheels, tint...things to it?? Oh, I too noticed the beautifully staged shots!
Btw, you'll now have to split the cost of my XPEL Ulti+ Stealth wrap with @HFh now.

You guys are making the Stealth PPF a really easy choice, lol.

I'm really really thinking of going Stealth PPF on my red LR. It doesn't seem too common around here, but I think it looks pretty bad ass.

I thought West Coast orders were getting delivered more quickly than East Coast ones

Just Googled red stealth PPF and I like, never saw that before. I saw a MY with stealth MSM/grey and did not like how it looked at all but the MS looks... as you said... pretty bad ass.

Damn the bot is fast today... did someone upgrade his RAM?

@2021plaid But the $4500 price difference won't be (negligible)!

Does anyone know if your order doesn't start getting worked on until you finalize the payment in your account? I'm still pondering lease vs buy... I've finished all the other steps.

rumor is its best to choose cash for now and once you actually get assigned a car decide whether to choose lease or finance (tesla or 3rd party). No idea if that makes a difference in reality or not though.

You can change it after the fact?

Yes so ive selected cash and once I get a VIN ill contact my SA and ask them to change it to third party finance

 

[JustSaying]

It is an investment. Think of the net thousands of dollars you will save annually in gas and maintenance. The federal EV credit would have been nice, but remember to check with your state and electric provider to see what rebates/credits are available. Most importantly, ENJOY THE CAR! It doesn't make sense to have the woulda, shoulda conversation--it takes away from your enjoyment.

And don't forget "the daily dividends of driving pleasure"

That assumes you can reach them....

Can you change it to Tesla lease, though? Third party finance is the same as cash to Tesla, not sure about lease.
