Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[aerodyne]

I wonder how the car will pass inspection without a valid EPA rating on the Monroney.

But this is Tesla, who knows? You might have a '24 Unicorn with last year's EPA rating!

Like I said, groundhog day

Like I said, groundhog day

It's because the head of customer sales and service don't care. He calls the employees at the front line "Customer facing assets" as if they are machines. Needless to say, he don't have their back.

I'll postulate the store folks get treated worse than customers.

Interesting. I ordered an S, Black, Black and 21", steering wheel in Texas last week and I am waiting on a narrowed window. App is showing Feb-March still. Been debating on switching to a Plaid as I need a vehicle soon. My R1S was totaled 2 weeks ago and I finally have my insurance numbers back. Luckily I have new car replacement, so making out ok.

Ooo...what is that?

I have this as well. Basically it gives you the value of replacing your current car with the same make and model regardless of how much you owe or what it's worth.

Quick update, just got home from the delivery center a little bit ago: car is basically flawless - panels are aligned beautifully, paint is perfect, no seat wrinkles, seals are all cut correctly, no creaks/rattles/wind noise, and everything open, closes, and moves as expected. I'll take some photos tomorrow when weather and work allows

fyi for those of you who are on the higher end of the height spectrum, the wheel is a bit of a nightmare. I'm 6'3", and I have to lean my seat very far back to actually see the speed limit/cluster icons/autopilot warning light. the yoke may be worth buying even if you don't find it comfortable if you're of a similar stature

With you there brother. I’m 6’1” and the yoke is a godsend. Love it.

Still no certificate for the MSLR on the EPA website. Going to be interesting to see how the month of March goes if they don't get it issued until that March 7 date that's been floating around. Not sure the impact will be too heavy on the 1Q earnings release since MS isn't a big part of their volume but definitely won't be received well and raise a lot of questions if they have to report significantly lower deliveries than 4Q.

Big discounts! We'll all regret it.

Intriguing drop in US Inventory overnight, and the 61 unit change on the graph is the biggest day-to-day drop in quite some time. Did MSLR deliveries start?

Maybe pushing them overseas or to Canada where EPA rating does not matter?

I assume plaid delivery?

For speedo, you can have secondary display with a tablet powered by SMT, Scan My Tesla.

My MSP will be delivered within the next 7 days. I can see the light at the end of this long tunnel.
I'll be paying cash. For you cash buyers out there, when and what was your form of payment? Is the app an immediate transaction or do I have to pay before I look at vehicle?

Identical drop in X's as well so I don't think it's buyers. Some percentage was removed from inventory for some reason.

I did Plaid for my MXP but rejected the first. Should have rejected the second as well. Thinking cashiers check this time. Have slight paranoia that they'll give me one with fewer physical defects if they don't have my cash until I inspect.

I'm sure you're really not meaning to bring in a suitcase of bills. I used plaid two years ago for a transfer. I don't recall the specifics but don't remember any pain, very easy. I inspected then paid.

That's a good idea. I'll do a cashiers check. I would rather not have my money locked up if I reject it.

Tesla won't take physical cash. He just meant for those not financing.
