Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[OlderThanDirt]

I have never owned a Tesla before. I ordered MSLR on Dec 16th. Still no VIN and delivery date keeps changing. I contacted customer service yesterday. They told me about the EPA hold but said it was just lifted (yesterday). I also started looking at other cars yesterday. I am losing my patience and I really need a car.

Ordered in November and waiting. But we have a Model S with lots of miles on it. So we’ve been around Tesla for years. Hang in there if you can. Tesla can frustrate at times though we really haven’t dealt with that. As much as we love the one we have this latest generation for us anyway is almost like experiencing Tesla for first time.

It’s mile eating mountain melting machine.

That's what they tell me lol and why I am still waiting. I am trying to hold out but other vehicles are tempting me. If I don't have a VIN within a week I will move on. This forum has actually kept me going.

Is going Plaid an option? If so, you probably won't find yourself saying, "I should have gotten the LR"

If so, avoid the 21" wheels.

I understand where you’re coming from. I have my 4th Tesla on order. FWIW even with all the frustrations with customer service and build quality, I cannot imagine driving something different. Teslas are dope.

I avoided the 21" wheels due to the advice given here. I didn't consider the Plaid because it seems like extreme overkill for my needs (even the power of the LR is overkill). I also assumed my insurance prices would be much higher.

I'm in the same situation and state. Except I ordered Dec 1. I'm willing to wait. I've wanted a Tesla for over 10 years and was finally able to order one.

I plan on going to the local SC tomorrow to see if I can get any useful info. Text messages have so far only resulted in a parroting of my EDD range.

New update from my sc: EPA hold was lifted yesterday afternoon apparently. Still no VIN for me tho.

This is my first Tesla and I picked up my MSP 2 days ago. I too was looking at other cars and almost canceled because I was fed up with everything. I am so glad that I didn't buy another vehicle. I have only driven it 10 miles straight to my PPF installer. But that 10 mile drive was freaking awesome. Hang in there. The lack of communication sucks but I believe it will be worth it when you finally get it.

They must have fired the web intern who is responsible for updating the website.

Or they put them to work delivering vehicles. Or building them. Check your panel gaps!

And YOU'RE in Femont? That really is ghosted.

Update, now pushed to March 9 -March 30.
No use getting hopes high or trusting them. I have come here from a variety of EDD's ranging from late Feb to Early March.
Hopefully they are able to do it before March 31 so that I can transfer FSD. Been a long wait since Jan 2.
Hopefully they need my money before March 31

MSLR grey/white/19. Ordered February 5th. Received VIN February 10th. I was contacted today saying I could schedule pickup tomorrow. I'm traveling so I won't be able to pick it up until I return next month. I asked about the EPA range and they didn't reply to that question

 

[nyucla]

With my delivery scheduled for today, we'll know soon enough.

Good luck

My MSLR delivery was just scheduled for Monday.

Did they give you any issue for not being able to pick it up right away ? I fear they will ask me to take delivery of my car at the end of the march when I’ll be traveling for work

No, they said my car is ready and I could pick it up tomorrow if I'm available. I let them know I'm traveling so we scheduled pickup for the day after I fly back

I believe I read something here about an issue with chipping behind the rear wheels and people have PPF applied.

My shop that normally handles this thought it was in front of the rear wheels and asked me to confirm.

Can anyone provide advice on where they have added PPF in the rear to help minimize paint chips?

 

[BBartoli]

Hold is lifted! Have a pickup appointment for tomorrow Friday at noon at Tesla Miramar San Diego. Getting MSLR Blue exterior White interior 21 inch wheels with Yoke.

Signed Tesla vision agreement last week. No messages or communication from sales team yet.

Ugh. That is my same build that I ordered on 12/27 - have not been asked to even sign Tesla vision agreement or received a VIN. Sitting on 2/29 - 3/16 right now. EDD changes every day but does not tighten.

 

[rugar760]

As of this morning a delivery window has totally vanished from my app. Still no vin though or anything else.

Same here. I messaged Tesla via the app for an order update. Then a new EDD of 3/4-3/24 appeared. No VIN.

Add about 12 inches to the top of the factory PPF and it will help. If you want no seams, PPF the entire rear panel.

If I recall, some people were also having rock issues along the lower door panels too. So your protection coverage experience will vary.

Same EDD range—first date moves to match today’s date every morning for the last week. Ordered 12/18. No VIN.
