Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[haagen]

They have one at the Tesla store at town center mall. It’s not for sale. I visit it weekly.

I was told it will be put up for sale towards the end of this quarter. It is a 21 LR so it is pre-refresh. It was damaged upon transport to the Tampa area so that will be disclosed

I saw the news about the screen tilting and had to come back to bask in the FOMO. Cheers to everyone getting the new hotness!

Hey nice to see ya!

I don't know. Fewer motorized things to break and weight savings is probably better. I hope the roadster strips out a lot of the motorized things.

Hey remember when people proclaimed it would swivel 45°, in each direction?

Yup! That was Sawyer. It's correct! Sure looks close to 45 degrees to me.

I'm not sure about weight savings tbh. It's 2 tiny Model Y seat motors and a likely aluminum/magnesium mechanism. Maybe 10 pounds at most? 15?

Removed from Plaid to achieve 1.99.

Well I really don’t know what games Tesla is playing. I jumped through hoops to get them all the info requested since they said May 3-20. And today now it shows September 11-November 6. That’s later than the original June-Aug or the revised july-Sep. so why make me do all the work if they were going to push it out even further?

Re: seat - I have a refresh 2.0, started hearing something kinda like that from under the passenger seat. I moved the passenger seat all the way forward and found that there is a bit of plastic on a vent there that was occasionally rubbing against some other plastic. I put a small bit of felt to line the plastic and it took care of it. I hope you have the same issue and this gets resolved for you.

They just came out

1. They finally got me the privacy shelf thing
2. They told me they can't really work on the squeaking, we found where it's coming from but not much he could do remote (which I assumed)
   1. I asked him if I could just spray some WD40 on it to see if that helps, and he said sure! No issue, if it doesn't just schedule an appointment at the shop
3. As for the lights....this was tiltingly easy
   1. You get into the setting portion when it's dark out
   2. You get some tape or a line on the wall
   3. use the left scroll wheel to move the light up and down till they match where you want them....
   4. No fancy tools/lines or anything that you can't do at home, he kinda laughed at the prompt to "get a technician to do it"
   5. 100% do not need tech person for this, you can do it yourself

Overall the only issue I will have left is the squeaking, and just going to try to solve myself before taking to shop. But it's quite annoying as it happens on every little bump now.
I really have enjoyed the techs that come out to see me though. They're always super chill, informative, and easy to work with. so 10/10 for Tesla on that one.
The tech support via the app is a little annoying to deal with as I'm 99% sure it's a robot most the time.

you mean 4.5°?

 

[EndlessPlaid]

Nah seriously look at it. I'm serious.

 

[DFWBrad]

He's not kidding, it really does look like 45 degrees. It's quite insane and I don't see the purpose for it O_O

The gearing is already there for a motor shaft gear. There currently is a fixed, angled cover around the back side of screen.
Motorized screen now has some kind of flexible material to keep things covered during range of motion.

As far as plastic rubbing, WD40 is to thin. Try a dab of Vaseline as it might stay between the parts in contact. It would be nice to get a picture and post it as I'm sure your car is not the only one with this mystery noise. You might even find that something needs snapped into place to retain it away from contact..

Only thing I can see is for when you're sitting at the charger or stopped watching netflix, etc. for an extended period of time solo. Can't say it is that important or that exciting of a feature for me either but cool I guess.

 

[WilliamG]

Heard of some interesting charging stuff. Could be quite interesting should it come true.

What are you hearing, you darn tease, you!

 

[fetar30310]

Like what's the point of the screen tilt?

Is it really make or break for some people?

I just view it as another item to potentially break.

Sorry man. Welcome to the club. One thing is for certain this will not be the last time your EDD shifts/changes. Many examples in the various threads posted here. Most orders are taking an average of 9 months for delivery based on my observations. Feels like the trend is extending though. Just wait for the VIN to pop before you do anything further.

Welcome back! We've vastly matured and stick to very on-topic discussions only now.
