Wiki Model S Delivery Update

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
They're just trying to make sure your model S has the revised headlights, rear taillights and 4680 batteries.
If only that was the case haha. I kinda wish they had the previously timeline tracker for the model S/X orders. That might help me no want to call them everyday for an update. Hopefully today is the day...
 
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE OLE' TIGERS?! Well, my peasantmobile is still on hold. I want it. I need it. But I also want that tilting screen, new tail lights and new headlights so might as well see if Tesla is going to update them soon.

Regardless, let the pain and suffering begin! IM BACK BABY, IM BACK!

OK - Forgive me father, I am here to REPENT for my SINS!

TLDR: I got fed up and tired of thinking about the Model S and I just decided to blow some money to drive one (from Turo). I had to go about two hours away from my den and the only thing available was a Plaid with 19s.

Let's just start off by saying this... THIS *sugar* SHOULDNT BE LEGAL KIDS. MY GODDDDD.

The first time I floored it I:

i: blacked out
ii. laughed so freaking hard I nearly wrecked this poor peacock's freaking car!
iii. had the realization that life is too short to be responsible with money

Tesla has ruined my life. I'll never be able to enjoy roller coasters again. It was like for the first time I was truly alive. I damn near called my doctor to cancel my Viagra ON THE SPOT!

OK OK so with the acceleration out of the way - I love the damn screens. Lucid calls it an ipad on wheels? Screw Lucid.

BBS - Big Beautiful Screens, that's what I call em. I love how responsive the center one is, how quick the apps runs. How it can actually hear my roar and navigate to places.

The yoke. Much love baby. This is hands down top 3 thing of this car. Feels like Im driving a ferrari, except its quieter, faster (and handles better, screw you ferrari!).

The car's cabin is pretty quiet on the 19s. Not really sure what would make it more silent at this point. AFAIK this peacock didnt have ARNR but I dont care. Also, the stereo system sounds pretty much the same as the peasant teslas, not sure what some of you are talking about. Hearing loss is my guess! (snicker, snicker).

The car's build was decent, though not amazing. This peacock got their car just a week ago and decided to let dumbasses from the internet like me drive it because, they need money...? (want to share the joy of Tesla?) I just decided screw it. If its good enough, its good enough (I love my torturer I know).

Why did I do this? Well because I thought about all of these other EVs coming out and there's something wrong with each of them. Crappy range. Crappy infotainment systems, crappy apps, crappy dealers, supports jeff bezos, etc. Every time I asked myself what I would change it was basically just turning it in to the model S.

isn't is crazy how much time we spend here, without having tried or tried much the cars we're waiting for? it's like a big surprise gift when it arrives (if you count refreshing the app 20 times a day for months, etc. a surprise.)
 
Not sure about other SC's, but the Glen Allen, VA SC has been almost totally empty of any new inventory since the new year. December the main and overflow lots were packed. Since then, one or two here and there, but other than that, almost nothing. (I live nearby and routinely pass by).
Im guessing big batches will start to roll in soon

I don't want to be too superlative, but I'm gonna cautiously say this is my favorite post in the ~3000 or so pages of this thread I've read in the past year.

This is really helpful for me at least. The SAs there are very unwilling to give any information. Maybe the Feb 1-5 date may be accurate if they have an empty lot

There's pretty much a backlog for every Tesla model nowadays. Occasionally there will be a dozen or two inventory cars across the country on a random day, but they tend to get snapped up within a day or two after becoming available. Not a lot of time to sit on the lot like back in the olden days BC (before covid). I know that my local SC even had a sign up that said "No test drives available at this time" because they couldn't even hold any for that.
 
Ta da! Got a couple of days early. PERFECT. Missing the trunk panels, no biggie. All keys, mats, etc.
they did try to foist the summer tires on me, and I wouldn’t accept the car. 1 hour later they swapped the wheels with another car, and I have my all seasons.
minor thing for service (light inside center console bottom acts reversed like my neighbor’s). I couldn’t find any flaws. Nearly invisible worm. Gorgeous in the sunlight.
TMC had me fearing the thing would be held together with glue and string and all sorts of badness. This thing was perfect. Very happy ;)
