Wiki Model S Delivery Update

There is a "Greater than Zero" chance it is a NF, 2022.

I read somewhere, there’s also a greater than zero chance someone gets killed by a porcupine. Just saying.

I have an appt for Nov 19th to pick up my car. Anyone know how long the estimated wait is for people who reject a car?

I'm just wondering there are issues do you deal with it and take the car or reject it?

Everyone on this thread knows how atrocious Tesla‘s communication/information is. But let me contrast that with Mercedes.

We ordered an EQS in the summer for my wife. We were told it might be two years before delivery.

About a month ago we were told the car was in production.

Today we were told the car is ready for shipment. When the car is shipped it will be about 3 weeks before it will be delivered.

We will be informed when the car is shipped.

it looks like Mercedes under promised and will over deliver. We have been informed on status all along the way. Why can’t Tesla do the same?

I still love my MS. But I’m still puzzled that a company that builds a great car is so damn bad on the business side.

Because Tesla is run by engineers who just want to make cool stuff and not have to deal with the business or process side of things. They really need to get their *sugar* together or this is definitely my last purchase from them. There are going to be way too many competitors over the next few years to have to deal with this.

Looking for some advice for folks who have been down this road before... We ordered a LR in July, RN:153 MSM/Black/19s no FSD. Our current EDD is November 6-15, which shrank from November 2-15 yesterday. No VIN. We're trying to avoid unnecessary hard checks on our credit, so I don't have a loan set up for the car yet. My worry is that I'll secure a loan, get checked, then the S won't show up for some ungodly amount of time and I'll have to take another hard check on my credit. Should I wait for a VIN to set-up the loan? Or is my account sitting without lender information harming my chances of actually getting matched with a VIN? Tesla tells me I'm fine to go ahead and get a loan I'll def have a car within 30 days, buttttttt...... I also think the nice guy in the call center just wanted me off the phone, lol.

switch to cash if you haven't done so yet. once you get a VIN call your SA and switch to financing. you have to have a completed profile, but don't take the credit hits until you have to.

Long romantic dinner w/ the Gator?

speaking of which, he called me yesterday..... He figured out his brakes do not work so well on his Plaid but is otherwise enjoying his new toy.

Ha ha Bezos! No one likes you!

background please


NYT
"But NASA has been unable to work on the program with SpaceX for the duration of Blue Origin’s legal challenges, which may delay the return to the moon."

I guess Bozo did not like that Musk got the lunar lander contract and sued to block. Try performing; it yields better results.

Really dislike that guy. He just does whatever Elon does that he thinks other people find cool. Loser.

One makes billions adding value while the other by extracting it..... History will tell those that can not tell the difference which is more useful.

Beware, some people will hate you

haha I've been calling them every other day and finally had some time to ask in person. had a reservation since Jan, had to cancel in September and open up another one

glad I can finally get my first car!

 

[Bill Price]

Shoot! I'm taking delivery of one next week!

Friends, we are gathered here today to say goodbye to the once proud 2021 Plaid. She had a very quick life (in more ways than one) and will soon follow the 1960 Edsel into oblivion. Rest in peace.

I still have a hole to fill (old 240v receptacle) but I did a thing last night. Just have to buy some clips to brace the wire and tidy it up. Get the car back from PPF after work!

I don’t know for sure, but I interpreted it as they would reassign VINs to cars that were in process of being built it just made it off the line.

Either way, I think you are right. We didn't have one new VIN reported this week. They have not been assigning VINs over the weekend. That likely means either this coming Monday or the Monday after we see a bunch.

Is that an Ego snow blower I see? I've got several of their chainsaws, leaf blower, weed whacker, and the snow blower. Great products

One more sleep until delivery. Several appointments to view my S85D today, hopefully will sell it very soon.

Please be aware that the highway EPA range is much less than EPA combined for the Plaid with 21's. Perhaps as much as 20% less.

And, said consumption is for a speed less than 70mph.

I'd say 300 miles range is pretty good. Still better than a Taycant at the same speed.

Yes, of course. Like I said, I did approx 90% highway & 10% city and came home with 100 mi. left after driving just over 200 mi. I usually drive 78mph or less on the highway...and yesterday was typical for my "longer trip" days...highway for an hour, get off the highway and drive to my customer's home...and repeat a couple more times before driving back home. I had a couple "spirited driving" moments too of course.

Yep, I have the mower, blower, and 2-stage snow blower. Love them!

I received a 2022 VIN for my MY. Delivery date hasn’t been set yet, but is Nov19-23rd.

Now I have to consider tax credits and all the rumors regarding batteries and MY build changes. Regarding the proposed bills, one needs a crystal ball.

It will be nice to have a Tesla in the garage.

I ordered a Red/White Plaid back in May. My delivery date was June 20th-30th, then kept getting pushed back a month every month. It’s now showing January 15th to February 15th. How can this be right? I’ve seen people order after me and get their cars. Are they not making red ones or something?

Dagger - white interior. Did you also order with carbon fiber? I would expect it before those dates, but not immediately.

That usually means that you will be getting a VIN soon. For some reason the pre-VIN stage often shows your EDD pushed back a lot.

Yes. Getting it within "two weeks".

Which PPF did you end up choosing?
