Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[S3pirion]

If your getting it on Tuesday I assume it's an MSP?

Yep! Wife is getting our current LR.

I still cannot believe that there have been zero 2024 MSLR delivered this year

Same goes for MY performance?!

Looks like I put the popcorn away too early.

Just wait until the new LR EPA numbers come out... And we start start taking delivery of our 3 and 4 month old brand new cars... By then Tesla will have made more changes.. Stirring the pot here now front camera, ambient lighting....

Tesla owners are a crazy bunch

You got a pic to share?

I purchased the black center caps (silver logo) and black lug covers…

It looks like Model S inventory is really climbing pretty quickly now - around 700. Going to be interesting to see how this goes because S's don't sell that fast, and I think Tesla has changes they want to make in the spring. We'll see.

Of course it's to be expected.

FOMO to the left, FUD on the right, here we are, stuck in the middle with Tesla.

(Apologies to Steelers Whee)

That is a good thing. The same happened to me right before my VIN was assigned. So hopefully that is your next step as well.

After VIN assignment it still took 2 weeks for the car to be delivered but that is because I'm on the other side of the country. I was shocked to see that the car was delivered all the way from Freemont to the NY / NJ area by train so it only traveled a short distance on a car carrier.

Cool, I'll keep my fingers crossed. What spec did you go with?

Back in 2021 I waited six months to get my Feb 2022 car. That's when wait times started to be less time. Some waited more than a year. A lot has changed since then. But the anticipation and excitement is still there!

I'd be ok if they didn't string me along like this... Just tell me that I'll be waiting 4 months and I'll be fine with it

Word. I feel the same way, though I recognize that at the time they probably didn't know this was the way it would play out. I'm sure Tesla doesn't like not selling cars while factories run and inventory just climbs. Hopefully this EPA thing clears soon.

I wonder if the inventory build up due to the delay will have any temporary short term downward prices pressures?

Seems possible, but in my way of thinking not probable at least short-term. I think this period "between the growth waves" (Tesla's phrase not mine) they will be looking to maintain profitability. But if the excessive inventory persists, and they have other changes they are trying to introduce (seats, lights, etc) then you could very well be right.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are somewhat more aggressive end of quarter pushes given these won't be available until a couple weeks before the end of quarter

You can thank Tesla as well as those “gaming” the year end system with hopes of assumed options and expectations of a 24 while ordering a 23. Shipping masses of cars people opt not to take delivery on messes with Everyone’s expectations.

 

[Centexplaid81]

I feel like Tesla is not very good at prioritizing customer sold orders. For example, The exact spec I am waiting for is now sitting in Dallas with no buyer (literally just got there). If there is someone in the system in Texas that already has all paperwork done and is essentially just sitting there, why not prioritize inventory for them? When I did orders with Audi, BMW, etc. their supply chain was such that they prioritized customer sold orders over regular inventory orders to replace dealership ordered cars.

In any case, it is positive that Texas now has 2 2024 Model S plaids, and ultra red in Dallas and a white in Austin. Now they just need to send my ultra red to central Texas!

Tesla could curb a lot of that by just announcing a concrete date for the model year switchover as well as any expected changes with said switchover like every other car manufacturer.

Unfortunately for buyers transportation efficiency is a higher priority than order date. Shipping a Full truck to one destination with closed sales is much more efficient than shipping one car solo to “wherever” just because they were next on the list. As for the inventory car could have been a cancellation or one on hold.

Yup. Agreed. Those of us looking at previous years were assuming the model year changeover was going to happen mid November. Instead it was calendar year, unlike previous years.
