Wiki Model S Delivery Update

EXACT same problem, thank you for posting. I can post my twin issue when I get it back from tint.

Here's the new roof pic from my car as promised, taken at 9am this morning. Seems it's gone from c.2% to c.10% VLT. Both pics taken inside looking out though the new roof glass. Can see the difference in the first pic to the side windows which are clear.

hey nice.. vin?

Love the clarity, but honestly prefer my darker glass. Opens to aftermarket tint. What about visibility from the exterior looking in? Is it pretty see through?

No, from the outside not impossible but def not super easy to see in, but I do have a black interior.

507XXX Built March 10...but I think everything built mid Feb onwards should be good to go

What are your thoughts about heat transmission compared to the older dark glass?
I suspect Cali is like Sydney- very f hot in summer in direct sunlight.
The original metallic tinted windscreens were MUCH better at blocking heat than the current, now I have to worry about the roof as well....

It's supposed to be the same as the previous....it's not hot here right now so I can't speak to this but previously an MYP which had the lighter glass and it handled 100 degree SoCal sun just fine so not anticipating any issues....if there are I'll tint but I highly doubt it'll be needed based in previous experience and how this one feels....

The tried to blame the tires. I suspect some sort of hit in transit which resulting in the flat and alignment issue.

Sounds typical Tesla. I bet the bottom was scraped up too.

risk of a damaged suspension was not worth it.

Not to mention the "Repair" experience

No Plaid pickup for me today. Flat rear tire on delivery, tire would take a week. I offered to swap for my same wheels (19 Tempest). Did the swap and alignment was jacked. The tried to blame the tires. I suspect some sort of hit in transit which resulting in the flat and alignment issue. I rejected the VIN and they found a similar car in transit. 507XXX vin instead of my 505XXX. Build date March 11. I agreed to take that car. Should arrive in a week or so. Waste of a few hours but risk of a damaged suspension was not worth it.

You can’t make that up!!!!! Unbelievable.

I purchased used. I could test drive it. Second you can request service records on vehicles from tesla. This includes battery health.

A significant improvement.

Unbelievable. I'm not surprised at the stuff I read anymore

Exactly. I imagined the scenario playing out...."we replaced the tires and put in on the alignment rack but low and behold we need to replace xyz suspension component and it will be another xx weeks". No thank you...

My pickup is now tomorrow. Car had to go back to factory for some paint imperfections apparently. Will see what it looks like under the California sun.

I would not recommend to experience it in real life.

Is it ultra red? If so wonder if they have this down yet. My ultra red is expected March 22-31

I'll pass on the Ultra Red Beta, thanks...
Best of luck to the early adopters.

Nope it’s blue.

Hmm, they must have notice something out of specs to voluntarily take it back. This is a first.

I would reject this one or any car that had to go back to the factory, let it be somebody else's problem.

I will inspect it very closely, but in “normal” car manufacturing it’s very common for a car to to have minor issues resolved after QC checks. You just never get to know about it.

To be honest I was a bit of pain in the ass customer when they cancelled my delivery, I was already having a bad day and surprised even myself with how forthright I was with my disappointment. I am usually very chill and can’t say I wasn’t expecting some bumps in the road given what I read in here.

Having a scary British guy camped out in the lobby must have worked. (Thanks go to Hollywood for always having us play the bad guys.) I had several people phone up and apologise for the delay so will give them a chance to put it right and try to be my usual chill self with them this afternoon.

Not sure what is going on..... Ordered 1/18. Ext. Blue, Plaid. EDD March 17 to March 24.

On March 10, I called Tesla and changed to Ultra Red. Few days later, EDD changed to "March."

Today, EDD changed to April 13 - May 25.....

Getting a custom car on tesla.com still shows March '23 delivery.

Time to make some calls....
