Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[aerodyne]

Dang. Looks dirty too. Whenever we get ours I plan to bring it home and hand wash it right away. Best chance to spot imperfections in that first 100 miles to report.

Well, no Mats, Fobs, but took delivery anyway. 401RM

I realize we are only getting to the half way point in the year. While this sounds ready for a fortune-cookie, some of us with orders might have cars sooner and some later, even into calendar 2023.

It used to be easy to determine your Tesla's "year" based on manufacturing date. Some posts on this forum suggest Tesla caved and started to use an arbitrary date to determine a vehicle's "year" like other manufacturers.

With that said, does anyone know the arbtitary date when Tesla S's arrive as 2023? Is the VIN expected to change from "NF" to "OF" for vehicles manufactured after that date?

I know for a Tesla it's just a number, but...

Thanks

For 2023 the letter will be "P". And probably November.

Congrats on the car!

Are you waiting for the Tesla mats or will you go after market? I am expecting to have the mats missing as well, and I was looking around at my options. I don’t love all weather mats but that seems to be what is mostly available.

Do they give you a timeframe on the missing items?

Congrats.. when was your order from? Could you tell from VIN that it’s 4680 battery pack?

Early November Order. How would I tell from the VIN if it’s a 4680 battery pack? What does a 4680 battery pack do?

Called them and the car is coming in early. June 2nd arrival at the service center I take delivery on the 5th. Somehow I am impressed by how quick they have been able to do this.

Saw your comment on Kim Java's YT channel while binge watching MS content and I was like "I think I've seen that name before!" Congrats!

Kim is a long time early adopter, with a good perspective. Easy on the eyes and ears, unlike Ben Sullens.

Double check with the store, to make sure it is ready. Have them go out and physically check for fobs, mats, and covers.

it will be coded as a model Y from Giga Texas. no 4680's for MS or MX.

Looks like they used Omars delivery driver for my car...

Nasty. At least on mine, he had the decency to keep it all under the visible field of the bumper.

What I had been told was.. if the 11th letter of the VIN is A? It’s coming from Austin.. and has 4680..

 

[mosaicjem]

mine recently reduced to 6/17-7/8

this morning my delivery narrowed again. June 17 - July 1st !!Pushing to make those Q2 numbers

The Model S is only produced in Fremont at this point. 4680s are only going out in Model Ys from Austin.

Don't hold your breath for 4680s in the S ....

Yes, VIN protocols do not allow use of letter “O” as it would be far too easily confused with “zero.”

Waaay back last century, when there was a DoD 100 documentation standard, military projects could not use "O" and some other revision letters for the same reason.

Now, back to documenting all the bonehead shipping damages to the underside of my car..
