I ordered the same month and it currently ‘predicts’ the end of the year - I don’t think there is a reliable way of knowing. But I remain hopeful of getting mine in 2022

Wow that’s a joke. I’ve picked up three Teslas and in each case I was given the key card and told to just check out the car completely before accepting delivery.

I picked up my last car 3 weeks ago. I doubt it… We would hear a lot more complaints if so…

EightYears, rooting for you!Thanks for this. We pick up today.

And that’s why Tesla doesn’t care, I suppose!
No, just picked up a new car 2 days ago and they said to look it over throughly before accepting it.
This is mine.

Original order date 02/2022. Several EDD pushbacks. Previously assigned VIN to “old” inventory car with many miles. Account hold for a week. Finally got assigned a new VIN, NF482 yesterday. Contacted Tesla this morning and confirmed “birthday” was yesterday (6/24) as well. Delivery set for Wednesday 6/29. Hoping for the best, excited nonetheless!

TLDR - We picked up the car today, it was mostly flawless, we like it so far but a lot to learn given our first Tesla. It is very fast, fun to drive, very different from what I am used to. Is it worth the wait? Time will tell. I am not ready to say yes it was. 13.5 Months is a long $$$ wait.
After a 408 day wait our Model S has officially arrived home. Picked up this morning. I will detail a few things here below based on our first day with the car. Read this knowing I have never owned a Tesla and barely driven a model 3 prior to ordering this car so it is all very new but I am a car guy and mostly tech savvy.
At pickup the car was nearly flawless with a few correctable exceptions. It was mostly clean, some glue residue that needed to be cleaned up on the exterior but all panel gaps, glass, fit and finish seemed pretty spot on as far as I can tell. I would say I am pickier than most but not the pickiest when it comes to the detail of everything. The drivers side door is a bit tough to close but hopefully it will get smoother. All keys and fobs were present.
Three items that were sent in for service request out the gate.
They said a couple weeks.
Driving impressions
We took it for a spin around a neighborhood nearby to get a feel for things before hitting a main road.
The YOKE is cool and I do like the added visibility (never was an issue with the steering wheel but I do appreciate the improvement here) It is fun/different. After about 100 miles of driving today I do feel pretty comfortable with it. I will say that emergency defensive driving situations may be trickier but I suppose I will get more muscle memory with it as more time goes by. tight turns, roundabouts near me get a little awkward at times while I am still adjusting but overall it is a non issue and I do love it for just regular driving. Cruising down the high way and normal driving the YOKE is great, it feels very natural with the seating position. Turn signals are fine, still fumbling them a bit at times but overall a non issue that I will no doubt be fine with in a few more days.
The Climate controls I am still getting used to, I think I saw someone else mentioning that it would be nice if there were some simpler more accessible adjustments that could be made. I found myself fumbling with this system the most while driving around all day. Either the fan was drying my eyes out with more power than I wanted or I was cold/hot, etc. I am sure I just need more time but that was probably the most annoying thing of the day.
The overall tech and just understanding what everything does, all the features is a bit overwhelming. Several comments were made by us as we were learning/discovering things. is the car still on? Is it locked? Can someone get in the drivers seat and drive away if my wife is just sitting in the passenger seat with her phone which is also a key? Can I lock the car from inside the car somewhere? I don't recall seeing a button?
Driving is silky smooth, I love the air suspension, even with the 21" it is super smooth to me. The car is very fast in insane mode. The stance with the 21" wheels is perfect. The car is very fast in insane mode. Faster than my X3MC and best of all I don't have to stop at the gas station minimum once per week.
Photo below was our first Costco trip in the Tesla. I told the wife when we drove up, Guess what, we don't have to stop for gas today! Pretty cool.
Overall, really happy with the car, wish we didn't have the few issues we did have but I know many have had far worse. I hope it's all smooth from here. Is it worth the wait? Time will tell. I am not ready to say yes it was. 13.5 Months is a long $$$ wait.

- Missing floor mats
- Missing the trunk cover thing. I am not even sure what it looks like or is called but I think it protects people from seeing the cargo in the trunk.
- An interior trim piece in the back of the car is a WHITE trim in our CREAM colored interior.

Would it be possible to post some interior shots looking in from the outside. Would love to see how the red/cream combo looks.TLDR - We picked up the car today, it was mostly flawless, we like it so far but a lot to learn given our first Tesla.

The first two are common and the last I have seen before but the wife was pretty ticked about it. The service advisor was good at acting surprised that it wasn't caught. To be fair I didn't notice it until we were nearly done looking at the car. They said they will order the part and get it fixed. No idea on ETA.

You can use voice commands to control the heating and air conditioning. On my previous model as, I could set the right scroll wheel to adjust the temperature. Hopefully that will be coming in future software updates. Have fun, it is called “the Tesla grin“.

An update on delivery:
We got our plaid last Wednesday. No body panel gaps and everything looked very good. My husband LOVES the car. He did say the yoke will take a bit of getting used to. But he already is commenting that it is a good addition and provides for excellent visibility ! He wishes the horn button was closer so while driving you could just take your thumb and press the horn button. We LOVES the directional buttons and thinks those are cool. Display has beautiful resolution and the sound system is fantastic. My husband loved his former 2015 model S. I ordered the plaid and pushed him to get the plaid ! HE is very thankful now and says this car is a beautiful ride.
The only thing missing was the trunk cover and tesla is going to ship it directly to our condo building. But overall the car was delivered in great condition.

You can either
- edit current one via app
- text back when they confirm appointment/reach out to you & request they create a second appointment

Thanks. I sorted it out basically how you said. A little cumbersome.
I just opened up my subtrunk for the first time since delivery on Friday and was pleasantly surprised to see a Mobile Connector Charger. I was under the impression they stopped including that with new deliveries. Maybe I was just at cutoff. Order date 5/3.
On a separate note, those of you who have had the CF interior for a while now, how has it held up? How prone is it to scuffing and scratches from everyday use on a level of "none at all" to "piano black on M3 bad"?

You got lucky on the charger. I believe that’s no longer included if you weren’t an April order. As for the scuffing, not in the same league as the crappy piano black. That was a terrible design choice.
Hi Question for people taking current delivery of s/x refresh is the back door Window/glass dual pane yet ? Or is it still single pane ?
