Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[WilliamG]

What’s really amazing to me is how Tesla immediately puts dates so far out in order statuses despite saying 4-8 weeks on their site. Be great if they could figure out their logistics, especially on such a comparatively low volume vehicle such as the Model S.

That said, if it gives them time to fix real frustrations like the vibration issue, I’m all for it.

Everything from high 472s are refresh 2.0 as far we’re aware.

TBF mine was a low mid 472 and its a refresh. Just took my girl for a ride and she almost passed out. I only launched to 45mph. Anyone need any errands ran?

Are the new lights pictured in the gauge cluster and the app as well? Can you share some pics please?

He said. “Wow. Your car was built yesterday”…. It was a Friday.

Anyone remember many years ago that cars and engines built on Mondays and Tuesdays tended to have production issues versus ones that were built on Fridays? Day shift versus night shift? Wonder how much that holds true today with the Model S's. It would be interesting to somehow plot this. Date of Manufacture (day of week) and the problems found at delivery...

Can you tell me the model, name, & color of your wheels? Great looking wheel choice for your car.

I would recommend going with truly forged wheels instead of “flow forged”. A bit more expensive but lighter and stronger. There are a number of companies out there that sell them. I would recommend Signature Wheels as a possibility.

Not looking good. But call your SA to confirm factory gate date (after 2/21ish) and whether it has global lights (HL01 and RL01).

Strange- I have watched all VINs for LR every day- there has not been one on the east coast in inventory at all. If a reject where the heck did it come from?

You car is beautiful! You built a peacock !

Call cannot be completed as dialed for the SA I have been in touch with.

Try calling your service center... Also, someone should reach out to you if you got assigned a VIN. I got email and text from my SA this morning (VIN assigned last night).

Called- they picked up right away- born date of Feb 14- SA said it was most likely rejected by someone else because it is sitting at the service center. Crazy- must have been rejected and the VIN never showed up externally. It must be the old lights. But now I have to see if I can get my old financing (expired today but may be able to extend) which is about .75 cheaper than what is available now. May make more sense to take it. Thoughts?

My work estimate shows same part number.

The 1622612-00-E on my RO or 1622612-00-F?

I'm guessing the conventional wisdom on this forum will trend towards rejecting this one in favor of the updated lights. I faced the same dilemma last week, and I chose to move forward with my delivery of an MSLR with the "old" lights.

Now that I actually have the car, I honestly don't care one bit about the updates, and I'm very happy with my decision. I'll bet 90% of Tesla buyers won't even notice the new lights (or be sad about receiving the "old" lights), unless they are glued to these forum posts like many of us are.

Thank you so much for this- it helps. Although I consider myself rational I do have FOMO at some points for newest tech
