Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[jebinc]

Looking at sv104s for my MSM too right now and debating 19 vs 20. I was set on 20 until I saw your wheel thread. Any idea on impact of range yet? I am presuming you are getting even greater range as your forged are lighter than OEM cast cardenio/tempest 19s.

@Ayc5289 Loving the 19” SV104s! Haven’t taken any long highway trips to gauge the impact, if any, on range.

MSM is the best color!

SO GORGEOUS!

I’ve seen some posts with people getting VINs that are older ones or rejected ones. How can they assign one of those to someone who orders a car? I would assume you would get assigned a VIN before your car hits the assembly line or shortly after it leaves the line

Why do you avoid the bubonic plague?

Most plagues are edible you know..

I’m looking for an OEM spoiler (which hasn’t been available for sale since the refresh 1.0 came out) or something that looks like it. Some of the alternatives look too extreme.

Have you found any that you liked?

Just because the oem spoiler is not on the website doesn’t mean you can’t get it… $1200+tax from Tesla.

Wait - what- when did they change the lights?

Would an average Joe not on TMC know if their VIN was a reject? It is still a brand new car, unsold. Some are also excited to take it because their EDD just moved up by a few months.

Anyone here planning to replace the “P L A I D” hatch badge on your pre vin 4723xx car with the new Spaceballs version? They are less than $10 at the SC.

I like it. Anyone else install this spoiler?

Check with RPM Tesla in about a week, they should have the new "Plaid Style" spoiler in stock.

I’m 58, and I avoid dricing at night like I avoid the Bubonic plague! While I prefer the matrix LEDs, that I have in my MYP, I can “live with” my Plaid’s headlights. Certainly wouldn’t trade it in for these improvements.

Neither would I. But I’d definitely be whining all the time about it.

 

[Freshness]

Haha I’m at a cross roads because I was just about to drop major coin on wrapping my Refresh V1.

I may just order a V2 instead and roll the money into that!

76 here. Still drive at night but no idea how bad or good lights are

You’ve got a year on me oldtimer. The lights aren’t really that bad. Better than my BMW 650.

Here’s what I ended up doing. It’s the RPM Jupiter. Just a little different than OEM but I like it.

With the refreshed rear, I wonder how the TESLA emblem across the hatch would look like. Just like the Roadster or Franz's model 3.

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

E

That might be a good sign that the -E revision has the center / airbag horn capability.

Was offered to schedule delivery back on January 21. Was put on hold automatically on Jan 30 since I didn’t schedule delivery.

It’ll cancel on March 12 if I don’t say I’m ready for delivery. So I’m going to enable it the 11th. Hoping it should have the new parts

Should I expect the same pricing as when I ordered with this delay as well? It’s about a ~$17k difference from then. More than pays for my wrap/PPF and coatings if so.

Me too

I’ve been running 20” sv104 (Michelin pilot Sport 4 all seasons) from the beginning (300 miles) and have put on about 2500 miles. My best wh/mile is about 285 while driving in chill mode at a sleepy 65. With the AC turned off, 70 degreees weather and no major elevation change

So yes, I think range is definitely affected. My average for the 2500 miles is 330wh/mile

*** Just for those of you excited about the new lights ***

While researching more on the Matrix LED. I found out that Tesla is using Samsung's PixCell LED technology. Interestingly, the photo on Samsung's website looks exactly like the new Model S light with 2 matrix LED. Right one is low beam (with 100 LEDs), left is high beam. Does this look like the new lights on S to you?

Samsung website: PixCell LED | SAMSUNG LED

There are some pretty cool video at the bottom of the webpage that explains more how it functions.
