Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[EndlessPlaid]

Ok cool. My car would have 100,000 miles by then, but still, very good.

I actually kind of doubt TX will catch up Tesla demand. It may fuel more actually. I think they lose a lot of sales by having such slow availability. I know a person right now that has a Y ordered and just this weekend began looking at Wranglers.

Nice gushing, BTW. Great to have you back.

Yeah it'll be tough for sure. Texas production long term is going be wayyy higher than the 600,000/year that Fremont does. Well in excess of 600,000. So there's that.
But I agree, demand will be basically limitless for Tesla throughout this decade I think. They are in such a position of strength and pricing power.

Well, I was going to post photos. However, I keep getting a "Cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." But I imagine you've all seen a black/black LR with 19's.

Same old lights, same old charging port. All covers in the rear were included, nothing was missing. SA insisted the "updated" port wouldn't be for North American markets.

Fitment of everything looked great..... except the lower hood, the bottom right is sitting up about 1/8th of an inch.

Other than that, I am happy I chose the 19" wheels. Both the 19's and 21's are brutal ( look wise). Now I am figuring out what set up to do in the spring, I know I will be going with a set of 20's, but if anyone has recommendations I would love to hear them.


Car is going to tint Friday ( 15% ceramic/ 85% on front windshield), PPF hood/bumper/headlights, I need to order a rear spoiler ( because racecar), removing front plate mount, lowering links, and wheels... these things are brutal!

EDD holding strong at feb 4-March 4.
Definitely delaying it, no way am I missing out on new headlights and charge port

Delaying until when? How do you when they will switch to new headlights, charge port, and batteries? I’m not expecting mine until June.

This thread is so damned boring. How about this... When is your guess of the year Elon Musk retires as CEO of Tesla?

I predict 2025.

Yeah I predict around that timeframe. He will likely step down to something like Chief Product Officer or something of that nature, so he still has control over the products, and so he can also oversee and manage the Optimus program.

Copycat.

I think that Elon thinks that the robot is going to be sent to Mars in 2040 or wherever.

Edit: I'm not joking.

I would have guessed the same year you profess your love of Tesla and how all is forgiven. But, ehhhh.

Yeah the first team to go to Mars will likely be the bots. Wayy more expendable than a human team. And yeah Optimus will likely be ready for limited production for menial tasks in 2024 or 2025, and then evolve from there, with full scale likely later this decade.

I can think of plenty of people I’d rather send to Mars then a perfectly good robot.

... Yeah, I guess you are right.

The humans I'd like to get rid of probably aren't the ones who are likely former military and those who worked hard enough to become an astronaut.

My God all of sudden this thread turns into a discussion on who we'd like to get rid of and send to Mars rofl!

I dunno tbh lol. Probably would have to be some butt that was mean to me in school lol, as everyone I hang around with currently is super nice.

I’ll gladly take any of your leftover send-to-mars allocation if you can’t think of anyone.

Who ya got? Don't hold back now. We are looking for clicks and engagement!

Yeah @uthatcher tell us a life story lol!

Well, there’s some direct family that could probably fill my own allocation. But, from there, I’ve had a couple web developers that deserve their own special place in hell. Oh, silly me, I mean “on Mars”.

Maybe I’m just feeling mean tonight. But I’d send ‘em.
