Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[tkorn]

Has anybody deciphered the text in the app status? Mine used to mention “We’re building your car” now it just says “Check Back Later”. Could just be a placeholder change and means nothing. EDD March 11 - March 31

Universal change for everyone. Updated a couple weeks ago

My plaid order is back on hold. Called them this morning to release the VIN. I suppose I'm going to wait a few more weeks before I try to get my updated headlight/taillight plaid.

We need a dislike button that doesn't give you a negative rating! Sorry dude

That is already the way it is.

My opinion on summer tires (even in an area where the climate never gets below 40) vs (quality, as in Michelin Pilot) high performance all seasons: On the street? In an AWD vehicle? One will rarely get to the traction limits of a high performance all season tire, especially cornering. Especially in a low center of gravity Tesla. So for many, dedicated high performance summer tire for the street is overkill. And they will wear faster. So more costly to own

Hi guys, RN1158 here, ordered 10/17/21. MS LR, red, 19”. EDD 3/19-3/31 and been steady for a few weeks now. No VIN yet, but hopefully any day now. Who here has an RN lower then 1158 and still waiting? Just trying to gauge if this is going to push or I’m going to see the car before end of this month.

1153 DC area- still waiting with an EDD of 3/15-3/28

I ordered the 21” wheels and cream interior to get the car sooner too. I really would prefer the 19” wheels and white interior, but not for $15,000. #metoo

I held on to my June white interior and 19”’s and took delivery two weeks ago.

And along with the new headlights and taillights, you might see new brakes for the model S soon???

 

[WilliamG]

Can someone please post more pictures of their newly-delivered cars? I need my daily headlight/tail light/body-colored black appliqué pictures!

Oh nice. I can definitely see myself buying a set of those. Waaay cheaper than the ceramics.

That would be these:

Model S Plaid Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit

Available early 2023: The Model S Plaid Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit Designed for the ultimate track experience, the Model S Plaid Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit is a complete hardware package that delivers maximum, repeatable stopping power during high-performance driving. Our rotors feature...

You are incorrect. The link you show is for carbon ceramic brakes. If you take the time to read my link you will know.

I misunderstood your post to mean that these would be new OEM brakes for the Plaid. That's why I pointed out the carbon ceramics.

Is your order white (ext), black (int), 19", with FSD? Mine is 1152 with the same config, but they have tried to deliver two times.

white/black/19"/No FSD

I saw nothing in that article that suggests any involvement by Tesla on those brakes. Orbis and Nasa collaborated to design retrofittable brakes to any sports car. No reason to think that they will become a supplier unless my skimming of the article missed it.

Hi. Nice looking car. May I ask what is the mile range after the rim change?

That was my read as well.

The brakes can definitely be retrofitted as they already mentioned in the website. That might be a good news, at least there is no need to hold for the brakes.

There are already several aftermarket options for brake upgrades for people who do more than daily drive it.
