Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[WilliamG]

New S and X color. “Stealth Grey.” Looks like midnight silver aka dolphin blue is gone. Hopefully this is a real grey.

Thanks for the info. When did you place the order?

09/24. Texas.

Ordered MS LR, white, on 10/24 with EDD 11/2-11/23. No VIN yet, planning on transferring FUSC to the new car.

I ordered LR S in Midnight Silver on 19 October.

Yesterday, I received email with subject, "Confirming Your Model S Update". I read that as a simple re-confirmation of my order until I noticed the color is now Stealth Grey.

Tesla a little stealthy about the change on existing order...

Well I finally received my new car! Ordered on Sept 16th and so far everything looks great on it. It’s already at my local detailer to get tint and PPF installed. Sucks to only drive it from the dealer to the detailer, but worth it to have the PPF installed on day 1!

Looks great. I'm dreading the drive from the Matthews delivery center to the PPF place in Charleston in a few days.

Congratulations! Looks amazing

It sort of looks "Black"

Definitely darker. When dirty and out of direct sunlight it will very likely look black, as all dark grays, blues, and browns inevitably do.

I got an estimated delivery date assigned to my order today! Order placed October 20, estimated delivery between November 17 and December 22. Very excited.

Model S in Ultra Red with black interior and Arachnids.

Can you elucidate a bit on what you did to get the best out of it at the track? I'm thinking about taking my Plaid out soon and am eating enough crow already for selling my Redeye Hellcat to get this thing. I need to represent with something in the 9's for sure.

Here’s what I was told by my buddy who is a test driver for Tesla.

“
Ok so,

Drag strip mode

Cabin hvac off

Let it sit for 10-15 mins after it says “ready” because it will continue to condition and cool the drive units

Front tires you can drop to 32-34psi and pickup a little traction

As you pull past the burnout box, I jab the throttle aggressively a couple times just to try to chirp the tires and clean any junk off of them

Then you should be good! The car will do 9.2-9.3 down to about 80% SOC”

In addition to this I got it in cheetah stance. My first trip I couldn’t figure it out but I wasn’t pushing hard enough on the brake. You gotta really push it down. Get staged early because it takes its sweet time preparing to launch.

same, ordered 10.06, took like a week to get my trade-in sorted due to financing, blew past the EDD and they updated, its been EDD 10.27 since 10.18

MSP, white, 19", black int, round steering, basic ap

Order 10.06
original EDD 10.17
current EDD 10.27 to 11.17

got pushed again.
updated EDD to 10.30 to 11.20

Weird that some folks get pushed back while others like myself get pushed forward.

Got a message the other day that my car is ready four days early and asking if I wanted to reschedule an earlier delivery date.

I guess my car must have already been built before I ordered it, cause less than three weeks from order to delivery seems too little time to build and ship an MSP from scratch.

Or, it could be someone’s rejection

Well, he didn't need to hear that.

lol we'll find out Monday at 11am ... bringing the very helpful checklist that was available on the forum.

Even if it isn't someone else's rejection, based on other people's experiences it still has no more than a 50/50 shot of getting past my ocd issues. First time I've ever gone into a delivery situation almost expecting to not have a car at the end of it. Hopefully it will be fine, and if it isn't I'll pass on it as I have other cars I can drive.

I worry more about the things that I can't see that may strand me on my 200 mile drive home.

ETA: I'm surprised there isn't a database where folks can put in the VINs of the cars they rejected and why. Or maybe there is and I haven't located it.

Dammit @ks1972 ... now I have PTDSD, Pre Tesla Delivery Stress Disorder.

I might have also overdone it with my extension cord.

It's ten time thicker than the Tesla charger cable and is less flexible than political dogma.

Ordered MSLR 10/18, Estimated Delivery Nov 13-Dec18. Hopefully a chance for 2024 VIN, but no worries if not!

Do you mind sharing a link to the checklist? Thanks!
