Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[MP3Mike]

BTW, we're still awaiting our $2k back from those of us that ordered back in 2020--I guess Tesla feels that some buyers get it, and "We'll just screw the others." Thanks Tesla--that's so fair!)

That was never a rebate, they should have adjusted your order a few days before delivery. Though you often have to remind them.

Tesla came in $10 to $20K under offers I was getting last June and was at the $20K mark on when I sold it privately. I actually regret not holding on to it further into the fall. Sure I missed out on the sales tax aspect, but I allocated monthly to pay that in a lump sum at delivery.

I sold my MS last August anticipating LR delivery in October. I am still waiting for delivery,and have been without a car since then except using my wife’s M3. Big mistake.

Question about the "vibration". When I go FULL throttle from a standstill or near standstill, I get what feels like the front end getting light and the steering gets a tad squirrely(minor, very minor). Briefly. But I cant say its the notable vibration that many speak of. Or am I confused and I actually do have "vibration"?

At all other times...say going 50mph then flooring it...nothing but total smoothness.

Yeah that’s normal.

I scanned that video with the white Plaid, and frame by frame I found another Refresh 2.0!

Yaaaaaas!

Nope. That's a Model 3. Charge door reflector is too large, and the shape of the door is upside down:

Not to me lol. Not trying to boast here (only trying to be honest),but I saw it instantly.

Just having fun. After-all, it’s Nightly Programing time with our hosts, you and @uthatcher! Taking it away!

Good night!

Yep, charge port gives it away. Model 3! And body colored too!

Which was sorely needed... S was the only Tesla lineup still having clear plastic/silvery looking tail light with dotted LEDs.

Really detest that plastic look in the taillights that started I think with the Lexus IS models way back when. Just screamed 'cheap'!

Yeah that’s normal.

Yes, I agree. When punching it from standing you sense the front lifting a bit, the steering losing gravity and your guts getting slammed to your spine. Accelerationnnnnnnnn!

Based on the cars computer after I changed the wheels from 19 to 21, the max range showed as something like..379 I think? Im going off of memory.
But for me, the max range really isnt a factor (this is my third tesla). I work from home, and when I dont, my commute is 10 miles. On weekends I may do a max of..25 miles each day at most. Longest driving trip I take is about 170 miles each way. So at most, I may need to stop at a supercharger for 10 mins (which there are plenty along I95/my route on the east coast). So for me, long range hasnt been a requirement for me in the last almost 4 years of Tesla ownership.

Yeah. That’s still better than the oem 21 wheel. Thank u for the information!

I have wondered the same thing. almost all hours of the day. I picture a desk covered in energy drink cans with him repeatedly mashing the refresh button so he can get the first like in on every post.
