Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[omarsultan]

My peasant non-plaid MS has seat wrinkles too

I wonder if Tesla switched suppliers to get the material for the white interior orders and that's why the winkles. FWIW, mine is wrinkle free.

Perhaps, but your MS Plaid was one of the 1st ones produced and delivered...at the MS Plaid Delivery Day event; no way in heck would there be one single flaw in any of those cars delivered that day (especially with some media & Elon & Franz there talking with folks)! Now, at EOQ and moving forward, it's "Tesla as usual" happening.

There has been some pretty bad black interiors with wrinkles. Less so cream.

Someone a few posts above stated that the "44" vins were made in September.

I did the dyno mode thing on my mid 443 VIN and has a birthday of Sep 16. Delivered to my home on Sep 24.

But without a proper "Tire Warmup" mode (read: burnout), it's going to be impossible to heat those slicks up enough to get any decent traction out of them.

Elon, we need a "Tire Warmup" mode!

Yeah! Who wants a hair dryer and inverter?

 

[Bill Price]

My guess is that you'll spend more time staring at your GF's toes than the wrinkles on seats...

Meh……if you’re driving, methinks you’ll see more of the top of her head?

Funny because now I'm rooting for an Oct 1st or 2nd production for my white on white/cf MS Plaid and delivery mid October...IF, and only IF Tesla changes the model year to 2022 for October & later productions now (N instead of M the VIN). But, this won't be verified until we see VINs coming 10/1/21 & later. So we'll see...still no VIN for me here in South Florida; so much for Tesla's "priority production" b.s I got months ago....terrible how they feed you that garbage as a way to string you along. Geez.

Well...no model year 2022 for me...because...after almost 8 months of waiting...IT just happened folks! VIN assigned to my RN...

VIN 5YJSA1E68MFxxxx (RN11446xxx - ordered 2/5/21)! Delivery says 10/5 - 10/14 and wants payment...um no, I'm bringing a Cashier's Check...so I called that (888) 518-3752 number for Tesla and spoke with a nice gentleman there who said the vehicle is still in Fremont, CA getting ready to leave and get on the train to the East Coast and then to South Florida...so likely delivery the week of 10/11/21.

I just emailed our local SC Mgr & FL RM, so I can schedule delivery/pickup! I'm excited yes...annoyed IF they make 10/1/21+ builds model year 2022 but whatever, I guess it doesn't matter, and now I'm finally getting my car after 8 months!

Ok,
I broke down and went with the Chrome delete. They do it in plastidip which they say they can easily remove if I ever want to. So, apparently once I go black I can go back.

Great communication from Alset.
More PPF install photos just texted to me with this comment:
“Passenger side doors are done! It's soooo gloss”
View attachment 713163View attachment 713164View attachment 713165

Near completion. Full Wrap PPF & Ceramic Coating Applied. They said it will look better tomorrow. (after it’s cured wiped down …)
Decided to picki it up on Thursday to give it extra cure time as the weather has been stormy. Thursday looks dry…
Getting video clips of install. As I mentioned, I will post link here.

Can someone advise me here on placing my order on hold. I contacted my local store which was not open when I placed my order in March requesting a hold.
Got two responses from two different people asking why.

Have been told I don't have a valid reason to request a hold....
I said I'm concerned of current build quality and lack of upgraded headlights.

Im on hold for original order store.

email response:

"This is *******. ** is our delivery specialist and was inquiring as to the time frame of your delivery and delaying that.



It looks like you have been on the forms my friend, I will give you a fair warning about them and they tend to have a lot of miss information and also spread fear, uncertainty and doubt.



As it turns out “build quality coming out on the refresh and the poor safety ratings on current headlights” is not a valid reason to delay your order.



I will suggest you wait until you are assigned a VIN and actually see your very own Model S and decide for yourself before coming to any conclusions about Model S.



Please let me know if you have any more questions."

While on the topic of seat comparisons, the relatively shortlived premium “Next Gen” seats in 2014 P95Ds (which I think were made by Recaro) had very firm and tight side bolsters and also had pretty high bolsters in the back seat also, are definitely a tighter fit that the new Plaid (and I guess LR) seats.

I can’t say I favor one over the other at the moment, the new seats are definitely very comfortable, but they do have much less side bolstering in the Plaid. Need a long road trip to fully assess but I suspect they will be at least as good, and maybe better.

My buddy has my P90DL and I really really mis those seats. I'm reminded every time he drives.

Yeah, hence the "FWIW" -- I get that those first cars were unicorns to some degree.

My advise is just to ecko what the SA said. Dont lissen to the miss information on the forms. Youre car will be great and you will have it soon probly no later than Q1 2022.

This is amazing i am so happy for you. Congratulations one more time. Lets go!

 

[aerodyne]

Remember what Elon told Sandy Monroe.

Either get one of the first cars, or wait six months after the first ones.

I know that's tough to take for the folks that have waited almost a year already, but that's straight from the mouth of Elon.

I’m a W/W, CF, 21” Plus convert. 114125XX. My estimate is Nov/Dec in FL still.

You’ve just blown my entire theory. Unless…you go blank and EDD comes early!

 

[dewski]

@dewski said the SC thinks it's the right front wheel speed sensor.

And in a true /facepalm moment, I replied with a post that explained what a wheel speed sensor does, but didn't tell him it was an extremely easy fix!

If that's all it is (and the codes his car threw do make sense for that being the issue), it's a 30 minute fix, tops. Assuming they have the part, of course.

You were exactly right. It was a front right wheel sensor. Fixed in 30 minutes. What a relief. Guess it wasn't routed properly at the factory and something happened to it when doing a 90 degree turn out of my driveway.

A bracket broke as well supposedly so they had to order it, but for now it's tied together with zip ties.

I'm still waiting for new Model S delivery (Europe), but I have some question to you guys who have cars right now:

• What is power of onboard charger? It's 11kW like in Model 3, or it's 17kW like on old Model S?
• What capacity have Tesla USB Stick for Sentry Mode?

These races were amazing guys! Plaid demolition like always, and even in the last race when they put 2 more people in the car, it looks like the McLaren was coming back only because the 163 mph limiter on the Plaid!
