Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[raddiggin]

If you reject the car , how long does it typically take for a new one to be assigned ? I’m assuming it probably varies

I've put my order on hold.
I'm sure if you're not on a hold you will get a new vin soon. So many people are waiting it out to see if the rumors are true about the front bumper camera.
If only Tesla would officially come out and say it's false they could actually deliver the S/X before quarter end lol

Hmm. Yeah, I forgot about the supercharger miles. Oh well. Guess I'm missing out on those 5,000 miles.

I'm guessing 4-6 weeks.

I’m more than 12 weeks out from order date and still awaiting my first VIN….

Hang in there. I expect you'll get one soon. December 1 to March 11 for me.

Now I'm wondering if I just should have accepted it and moved on with my life. I think too much baking in the hot sun inspecting the car got to me.

Sometimes perfect is the enemy of good

I'm using it now. I'm not sure about accepting delivery. There are a lot of scratches in the clear coat and damage on the underside of the front of the car. I don't know if the next car will be any better, though.

Automatic reject for that....and if you don't make sure they agree to repaint. i.e open a service ticket within 100 miles or 24 hours whichever comes first.

Normal seat wrinkles??

No way. That’s terrible.

Looks pretty normal although mine had no hint. In fact my entire interior ended up being pretty darned perfect including no NVH issues.....so far. Wish I could say the same for my exterior.

 

[sorka]

The problem is they can't fix most of them. They can't fix paint. Interior pieces maybe can be replaced.

They can repaint but it's not optimal. In Fremont, they started sending rework back to the factory body shop and they did an excellent job on my MXP liftgate even though they never disclosed to me how bad the accident was that damaged it in the first place. The only reason I knew is because the first time they repainted it, was done at a third party body shop. They denied it ever went to a third party body shop and then I showed them the dashcam footage which was re-enabled once it left service mode and the service center. They then claimed it was one of their authorized body shops. When I called them on that showing them it wasn't on their list, their reply was it was on their INTERNAL list. Total BS and just absolute lies left and right. But once it went to the factory body shop, it came back perfect. They never did disclose to me the nature of the damage which also resulted in them replacing the bumper because the body work to repair the damage done by that supposedly authorized body shop shrunk within a week resulting in the paint sinking into the original repair.

Can you tell I'm still bitter about it

 

[sorka]

Yeah. I gave up and I'm leaving. Too many little things wrong with it. Nothing major, but still.

RGB lighting and bumper camera....here you come!!!

With stuff that is that obvious, you probably didn't even get to all of the touch up paint.

Just too funny:

Update! Delivery is scheduled for 3/19! VIN was assigned on 3/6 and order date was 2/21. (MSLR/SG/19s/yoke)

 

[kobefan234]

Not off to a great start. Car wasn't here when I got here, needed a few extra hours to get it here. Arrived with 7% battery, they are charging now...

Oh no. You had a delivery appointment confirmed?

 

[CROW96]

I have a LR on order, but the app just asked me if I want to select a similar car from existing inventory. Only Plaid vehicles are showing. Why the huge difference in range? I went LR solely for the bigger range. But then I saw this. Why the difference?

 

[kobefan234]

That 396 mile range might be a 2023 plaid.

 

[CROW96]

What changed from the new models to so drastically decrease the range?

 

[sorka]

And in fact, it's actually 347 miles, not 359 like the website says. The 21" wheel config however, matches what the site says.

EPA testing procedures.
